  Life Update...

  Wowwee folks. Feels like it's been about 10 years since I've made one of these.

  I'm just getting on with my 2nd year of college.
  Seems like I'm changing college, I'm going from Anniesland College to the Metropolitan College of Glasgow to continue my HND in Multimedia Creation.
  
  I recieved a very exciting email from the University of Abertay in Dundee saying that if I qualify from Anniesland and then the Metropolitan I can go on to attend their 4-year BSc in Computer Games Technology.

  It's looking very promising as my college lecturer has told me that it seems like I have the requirements to pass my 2nd year of college which means I would qualify for the Metropolitan.

  I also got a job working in Tesco's, a supermarket (kinda like Wal-Mart, just for comparison for all you yanks ).

  I work in the bakery, that's correct, I'm a real life muffin-man. Neato, huh?

  I'm very pleased with the way my life is going right now, it looks like it can only get better. As long as I keep my edge from an educational point of view, who knows? I might be working for Ubisoft or Rockstar within 5 years! I'm very excited and feeling very keen and determined.

  So what's new with all you folks?

  Been away for a looooooooong time...

  Dunno why I haven't updated or posted in the forums lately.

  I guess my life has kicked off, from a social perspective. We've started going into the city, to the pubs and nightclubs, it's pretty fun. But like all good things in life, it ain't free.

  I'm constantly skint nowdays, which means no new games, and no new games console (i.e a 360 which I'm dying for). That reminds me, I just bought the latest Hitman game for the PC (being Blood Money) with money that I should be spending on other things, like living. It still hasn't updated yet as I purchased it from the Steam store. However, it appears to be taking its time

  I didn't get the job in the Subway I applied for, but a new Subway is opening right around the corner from where I live. So I may apply to work there.

  Which means right now, I'm not working, which I should be and want to be doing. But nowhere in this stupid town will take me on. I keep getting rejected, even though a large majority of friends got jobs in the stores I applied for, which is a little bit offensive, but nothing to complain about.

  I'm definetley going to start posting in the forums a lot more now, as it's approaching Summer and they recently un-blocked Gamespot.com in my college. God knows why it was blocked in the first place, even IGN wasn't blocked and they're practically the same thing.

  Well, that's all for now. I'll see you in Off-Topic or some place else

  I think this is the most serious picture I've ever seen of myself...

  It's quite scary to be honest. I usually have the eyes of a deer caught in headlights in pictures.

   

  I think the fact that I didn't know that the picture was being taken explains it.

  And, of course, I had to bring up an old fad:

  

  Life has been suprisingly laid-back lately. I may have got a job at Subways as a "Sandwich artist".

  I like what they've done there, tried to make work sound fun. I guess it is in a sense, well it will beat sitting here infront of my PC, for a while, at least. Of course you're not supposed to enjoy work, of course.

  So how have you gentlemen/gentleladies been doing? Not posted a blog for a while, nor have I visited the OT for quite some time.
