    Just got back from the beach with a few mates to say goodbye to one who's leaving tomorrow.

    We just watched the stars for about 2 hours. Made every single problem, worry and issue I had fade away. I got to see my first shooting star as well.

    I feel chilled out, relaxed and now for the first time in months, happy about my future.

    Found out the company me and my best mate work for may be expanding and opening up a factory in America (Colorado) and if it does we'll be getting sent out there for 6 months to train the new staff.

    6 months, in America, with my best mate, while on a UK pound sterling wage? OH HELLS YES.

    You absolute animal! :D i drop plates all the time and for some reason they never smash...

    i slipped on oil right next to a huge fryer once my last words being "SAVE THE PLATES!" as a hit the ground saved them all aswell.. im not sure why that was relevant.//

    im like the only person at my work that can drop plates without them breaking i think i may be jesus...



    Just finished 18 page 4000 words report on Operational Amplifiers there linear configurations and worked examples aswell as comparators and the stage comparisons to op-amps and applications of comparators

    Now i have to go through spell, grammer and punctuate check it all.... :duh:

    I have no mention of that within the grading criteria. however, it goes without saying especially with my piss poor excuse for proof reading.

    My lecturer is hitler though he will pick it up and tear it to shreds till you feel so depressed you could just shoot yourself on the spot, its like a really poorly made crap sandwich

    Instead of something good crap and finish on something good again,

    its crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap *sips coffee* crap crap crap "But don't worry about it because its not that bad" at which point im like :waah: or :wallbash:

    My one lecturer marks them all out deducts the marks and makes fun of you but then may give you the marks back for doing other stuff. Here is hoping I get him marking it! Although it then goes to external examiners who can deduct the marks again... blah!

    Same for me luckily i done well on a previous assignment and another guy got the stick.

    Literally for two hours he would say stuff like "Alright lads where do you put a fullstop? because theres none in this one (NAME)!"

    "God the spelling on this is bad"

    "Can't understand any of these sentences read them out to me"

    You almost feel bad for him :D

    He always gets so worked up when we try to make something clearer, he trys to make things more complicated than they need to be

    Have you ever been here to Colorado? If not, I'll bet you will love it. The Denver metro area is large enough to have a decent nightlife, there's tons of professional sports to watch (football, baseball, basketball, soccer and hockey.) If you like to participate in sports, we have everything from skiing to sailing. ...And no, I don't work for the Colorado tourism board. ;P

    Is a mish mash of electronics and computing modules really i never use the proper name for it because everybody always says the same thing "oh right..... whats that?" but its essentially electrical engineering and software design

    The actual course name is Digital technology and i will end the 3rd year (if i make it that far :D) with a degree in electronics and communications

    Sorry I have to ask, who refers to their mum as their female parent? It seems very odd!

    You've clearly never been part of the BORG :p To be accurate, the full name would be Female Parent [designated number], of [town/city/cube], [priority of (primary, secondary etc)] adjunct [number: refers to physical location and may change if reassigned post].
