  • Degree Results!

    Well, results are in… sort of. I got a 2:1 — but there is the possibility of a first. The reason is, the comp sci department seem to have screwed up my final year project mark. Apparently I got 10.1% for it… I can’t believe that I would get such a low mark for something…

  • Awaiting results…

    Well, my board of examiners met yesterday, so the results should be out today. I just checked online, but apparently they’re not available yet. I’ll check again later… this is quite nerve-wracking, just waiting for the results to become available! I haven’t really been worried about it until the past couple of days, I just…

  • Apologies!

    I’d like to apologise for the dodgy link I posted a couple of days ago to NationStates. If you’d clicked on it, it would have taken you to some place holding advertising site or something. The real nation states URL is www.nationstates.net (not .com!). The sites appears to be moving hosts at the moment, but…

  • Some news!

    Albeit not particularly exciting news for anyone except maybe myself, but there you go. Firstly, I received an email today from the company I had an interview with in Chelmsford, saying that I hadn’t got the job (but they’ll keep my details on file in case another vacancy comes up). So I’ll probably never hear…

  • Fancy running your own country?

    Check out Nation States. It’s basically an online game where you make decisions on issues that affect your country (you start a country when you sign up). It doesn’t take too long, and it’s quite interesting! Check it out. If you do, then join ‘Gorgan Central’ — contact me if you want the password (send…

  • Nothing much to say…

    Nope, I haven’t done anything particularly exciting since I last post. Such is my life at home! You’d better get used to it, because it’s permanent now 😉 I might have to actually think of some interesting things to say here, that would just be terrible! Anyway. I went up to London yesterday for my…

  • Safely back at home

    Well, sort of. I took half of my stuff home yesterday, and that’s all safely at home now. I currently have the rest of my stuff in the car on campus, I’m sitting in a computer lab. I came back just to pick up the stuff and do a bit of cleaning, which is now…

  • My last day in Wivenhoe…

    …living at number 39! That’s a scary thought! So, what did I get up to on my last day here? Not much really. Basically just packing. Went out for a walk a couple of times (well, three if you include the time I went out and it started raining – perfect timing!). Um, and that’s…

  • Well, I’m not a student anymore…

    This is a strange feeling. Although I haven’t graduated yet, I’m not a student anymore. What brought this home to me? The fact that almost everyone has left now. Suzi and Ash left a while ago, Alex left today. Phil P is away somewhere, as well as Sarah. This means that I’m alone in the…

  • Cambridge, and stuff

    We went to Cambridge on Wednesday. It was pretty good! Philippa and I got there about lunchtime, and went to a Wetherspoons pub to have some lunch with Rich and a friend of his, and Kim (one of Philippa’s friends from her Cambridge days). Then we went to Cafe Nero and met up with Fran…
