OH f*cks sake!

So, for a few days this week, I've been doing my 'other' support job - ie fixing my family members PC's... Which has meant two nights this past week, I've only gone to bed at 3 am, since my time in Warrington is limited at best...

The second of those two nights was yesterday... Got in from work, feeling completely f*cked, but figured I could hang on till about 11/12 tonight and then get a full nights sleep.

About 7ish, I fall asleep on the sofa in the most neck murderingly position you can imagine. Wake up with a raging headache about 8:30, so take a few pills and make the fatal mistake of lying down. I did however have the forsight to set an alarm for 10... Making sure I got enough sleep to help take the edge off the headache but not to rest up enough to make sleep hard tonight.

I slept through the alarm.

I'm not getting anymore sleep till stupid o'clock this morning now. !

I used to excel. Studied two years ahead throughout primary school, but that's irrelevant now.

Though I got a B at A-Level, I'm increasingly eluded now. It's the most populous lecture, hence most impersonal, hence I can get left behind if I don't get something. And that's most things now. Then I scribble everything out and write "Can't.", "No." or "Too stupid for University."

It doesn't help that the course runs with the heavy prerequisite of studying another particular (easier) course alongside, and us eight Music Tech students are not doing so, though we'll do that next year. Just us.

Anyway, decided I need to e-mail the head of the course because I'm getting nothing from the lectures at all and the tutorials seem no more useful. Though I did run away from the last one in anxiety-shyness-panic. I need the textbook that I never knew how to get, a quick talk about the parts that are getting me down (because I think I half-recognise them, they're just in a new form), and to be able to talk to the other guys so I'm not left behind. Hopefully this e-mail will bring the former two. It just takes a lot of guts...

If your post is complaining that you took a nap early in the evening and now you are unable to sleep then I did exactly the same thing.

don't be afraid to take advantage of any learning support facilities there. they aren't just for stupid/disabled people. most of my chemistry a level class went for sessions last year because they found them really helpful and half of them were absolute brainboxes.

No, I'm complaining that I need a full, good nights sleep tonight to try to restore my internal clock to a normal time system... Something which wont happen now.

I used to excel.

Same here, was stuck in a national contest thingie in high school, got second place in my school, (first place kid was a nerd the year below me.. No one in the year above came close.)

Generally did pretty well, now due to a lack of practice and being a lazy git, I need a calculator for pretty much everything.

Its a worry, considering I am doing what could turn out to be a maths intensive course from feb onwards.

As Leeeargh said, give the support facilities a look in. They tend to be pretty handy, going of what a few people i know have said over the years.

Yes, I should do that, I'm just always shy to admit I need help or burden anyone (yeah, they get paid to help) with something I should deal with. FOR I ARE MAN. RAH RAH.

chris decided this week he actually wanted to start going out and doing things. so he asks me to plan a trip for thorpe park on saturday, because his weed-addled brain 'doesn't understand any of it'.

so i did, and emailed him the details thursday morning, and he didn't even bother reply.

hello apathy. so obviously saturday comes, and no thorpe park, no apology for wasting my time, no nothing.

if he tries to get me to come round and sit in his cave and do nothing tonight i am going to tell him i have to stay in wash my hair. <_<

and he had the cheek to try and pin the reason we hadn't seen each other in a month on me 'always leaving the arranging up to him'.

utter b*ll*cks, and he knew it. this is getting very very boring.

Jimmy: Holy sh*t everything's Barry.

Steve-Dave: Everything's better!

Puffalump: Barrier

Steve-Dave: The Barryest it's ever been

Jimmy: I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"

Steve-Dave: Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive

Steve-Dave: It takes like... £13

Steve-Dave: Barry has to walk 5 metres to his car every day... just to go to work and earn money for DVDs and comic books

Steve-Dave: His eyesight is so bad... that he has to wear glasses. Stylish rimless glasses which cost €250

Steve-Dave: His living space is so cramped... that h had to put his workout bench in the garage meaning he doesn't really use it any more

Steve-Dave: But for just €13 a year... You can help Barry afford a DVD that he heard was good but has been out for a while so it's not as expensive as new DVDs

Steve-Dave: Please... Give generously... And help save this poor man's DVD shelf from not being completely full because it just looks weird when it's nearly full. I mean, when it's half full, that's fine. But when there's only a few gaps left... it just looks kinda sad.... y'know

Steve-Dave: Thank you

Rayanne Graff: It scares me when people refer to themselves in the third person.

Steve-Dave: It scares Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. too

Steve-Dave: Like my Grandfather, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII Esq. always said: "Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq. gets scared when people refer to themselves in the third person, and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq. promises to never do that"

Steve-Dave: And like my twin brother, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. (or Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. for short) says: "Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. doesn't like when people refer to themselves in the third person. You and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. must have gotten that from our grandfather, Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq."

Rayanne Graff: You nerds crack me up.

Steve-Dave: Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XII esq., Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV.5 esq. and Professor Barrington Cornelius Smashathing XIV esq. all try our best

Rayanne Graff: ... in the pants department.
