Yes, my current 3 subjects will be over with on the 30th. I’m hoping I’m going to pass. I know the discussion aspect, and messing up concepts is going to hurt so much what would have otherwise been a pretty decent mark. The only subject I’m confident I will pass is Internet Design: Introduction which doesnt have absurd discussion requirements.
I have 3 assignments due on the 30th as I believe I’ve mentioned before. Learning log is well on the way to being completed as is the website. For those who have seen it, a lot of stuff is set to draft status at the moment. With the website, I just have to focus on creating the pictures, and deciding on points for each page. I have an essay that I really should start right now but as usual dreading is an understatement. Stupid word count.
My sleep is inconsistent. I’m waking up tired more then ever, and sometimes finding it difficult to fall asleep but I’m having much more sleep then usual, so I really shouldn’t be tired. I think I’m just stressed out from Uni. Well, hoping.
Code Geass is awesome, I’m nearly finished season 1 but I’ve hit my download limit yet again. I swear 12 GB is inadequate. To think, I used to get along with only 400 MB.
I guess thats all. My life is pretty boring, no?

In the end I didn’t bother trying to save the WordPress edition of the website. I didn’t want to upload all those files again. I ended up going with my original plan of marrying the blog to the forums. It seems to have worked well, and I’ve managed to import all the posts, and comments with minor problems. Some of the posts, and comments may have inaccurate timestamps but that won’t cause any harm. I’m just glad to have the blog working again.
Looking at the layout in absence of WordPress, makes me realise how bad it actually is. I’ll have to replace that eventually.

I have attempted to update WordPress to the latest version, something which is usually a straight forward process. However, the file upload seems to have resulted in most of the files being corrupted (mass parse errors), and as such I’m retreating to Live Journal. I’m not sure if this will be a temporary or permanent move, but for now it will have to do.
Posts will have been imported by the time any one reads this, but unfourtanetly I wont be able to do so with comments.

Last week (and Monday this week) sure me have 3 assignments due, 2 were due on Friday, and another Monday. I haven’t been that busy in ages, and still managed to fail to complete the concepts assignment for Internet: Communications. The others, the Website Prototype for Internet Design: Introduction and the Presentation of Internet: A Socio-technological introduction, I did manage to complete. I’m not sure what is going to happen with the concepts assignment, I ended up handing in what I had completed, and hoping for the best. Since it was worth 40% of my total mark however, I’m not sure if I will pass or not. I was almost there too, but went blank as I got near to finishing, I only had around 200 words in the last concept, and the annotated readings to go, too. So in short, I’m disappointed but there is not much I can do at this point.
Coming May 31st, I have another 3 assignments due. One essay, One website, and a learning log. I’m confident I’ll be able to finish but I know I’ll struggle when it comes to the essay as usual.
I’m getting worried about next terms textbook, I haven’t got enough money at the moment. Well I did but my parents don’t care. I’ll probably have enough but the textbook will probably arrive a few days or the second week into the study period at this rate. I hope this won’t effect me much. Will I ever have a study period without a setback? Who knows?
I spent this evening writing a WordPress plugin for a friend of mine. It basically adds the ability to get rid of formatting but keep paragraphs, bold, and italics by checking a Clean Chapter checkbox before you save your message. It’s entitled Clean Chapter because that was the main purpose of the plugin. To provide an easy and obvious way to fix text pasted directly from Word. If you’re interested in the plugin, feel free to comment, and if a few people do so, I’ll polish it up, and release it. It currently edits a Wordpress file, and uses a plugin, I hope to fix this though. You can visit her weblog by clicking here. She has some interesting stories up, well worth a read.
Anime wise, I finished FateStayNight, and Elfen Lied. I’ve started Full Metal Panic, and Blood+ now. I also started Read or Die TV but I’m unable to find dub episodes. I haven’t watched anymore Bleach, people have a habit of uploading fake videos. I tried Paranoia Agent but couldn’t get into it.
