Long time no blog so I thought I would fill you all in on what’s happening right now with me. Despite what you may think I have not been playing as much World of Warcraft as usual — I’ve been trying to do my coursework but am finding many other things to distract me. I am making progress though — it’ll be a tight squeeze to get it all done by Friday but I’ll manage, I always do. Oh and I got another ICA (In Course Assessment) today to model and build a database in Microsoft SQL Server 2003, gonna be a tough one but we’ve got till June to do it so loads of time.

A few weeks back Rachel (Chair of the CU) asked if I wanted to lead the prayer meeting that we have on Tuesday mornings, and this morning was the morning. It’s been ages since I’ve done anything like that so it was good to get the chance. I don’t think I’m very good at leading but it went well this morning I think, and so did the others which is encouraging. We’ve done a lot of praying for Alpha which is coming up at the end of February — not to mention 24/7 prayer week which is the week before Alpha starts, so February will be a busy week CU wise.

I’ve been finding myself very easily distracted as I said earlier. If you are looking for something to distract you from work or whatever then I’ll list a few of the things that I’ve been getting a bit carried away with:

  • artpad.art.com — Draw whatever you like then send the links to people and they can watch the art being re-drawn the exact same way you drew it.
  • A few web forums — always good for a read.
  • Lost has finally started showing again in America which means I’ve been watching it here. These past two episodes have been amazing! I’ve been watching them with Pete now too which is definitely better than watching them on my own.

Speaking of Pete it’s his birthday this Friday which means houseparty! Then we’re off to Walkabout! That’s the same day my coursework has to be handed in so I’ll have something additional to celebrate!
