I got back my grades from the exams this semester, and I have officially passed all of them. Furthermore, I got the courses that i wanted for 2017. Today is a pretty good day.
Registered for the Pokemon Regionals in Sheffield, will be my first big tournie so i'm pretty hype about it
Applied for new jobs in the hospital, same hourly pay but more hours over all, got the interviews next tuesday!
One of my parent's old english bulldogs started giving birth at 5 am this night. By 10 am we were blessed with 9 healthy and strong puppies and three hours later the stragler of the bunch came. Three male and seven female. We were told about 35% of the puppies wouldn't make it a few weeks ago because of how hard a time the breed has giving birth, however we were fortunate enough to only lose one of them, which is especially fantastic, since she was pregnant with 12 puppies. I am soooo proud of my little doggos!
Recently competed in my first Taekwon-do competition and came away with a gold medal in sparring. Ended up being put down for patterns and special technique which I didn't sign up for so I couldnt do them , my instructor said he got a bit "too excited" and had put everyone down for all three parts of the competition (which you can see on the little sticker in the photo ) Never thought around this time last year that I would ever do a martial art let alone win gold. Cant wait for the Dublin Open in March!
Update on me (I'm always around but I think I'm lurking without realising): The good Got results for Semester 1, high 2:1 so pretty good (year two as well, so this counts 25% of my degree). Recently got a placement with Accenture for next year. Getting my life together (turning up to almost every lecture now, going gym 3+ times a week, budgeting) rather than being a retard half the bloody time (also trying not to sit around doing nothing at home lol). Started swimming again. The bad Just finished a piece of group coursework that ended up being a lot worse than what I (and I guess we) wanted, hasn't been graded yet. I'm banned from my Student Union till June 19th (the only place to go out in Loughborough for the majority of days of the week + the place most my friends go to). Barely go on mumble anymore Barely play any other games except for Hearthstone and Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.
To exemplify what a huge nerd I am: The other day, I got the notion to watch EVERYTHING in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. All the movies, Network Television Shows, Netflix Series, and web exclusive content. So after fucking about with some torrents and downloading online videos, I compiled everything the MCU has to offer. I arranged them in "in universe" chronological order, and dropped the entire folder into my media player playlist.
Did something similar last year, went through and cataloged 3TB of media (mostly anime) so in Plex/Kodi they show up correctly with the right images and synopsis. Fuck me did it take some time.
