It's alive, It's Alive, IT'S ALIVE!!!!! ... nopeit died again

Damn this stupid laptop it's uselss it keeps dying on me :'(. Wouldn't care except i'm trying to do some work so i'm having to save like every 5 seconds. It's coz the cable at the back of the laptop keeps getting knocked and the battery in this thing lasts less than a minute (from full charge) without being connected to the mains. Seriously this is like the 10th time i've had to boot the damn thing up.

Heh seems everytime i'm blogging i'm complaining about one thing or another. Must be getting irritable in my old age ... either that or it's the stress. Heh sounds aweful doesn't it i'm on holiday and i'm stressed out of hell. Seriously i'm actually going into UNI tommorow to do some work ... ugh stupid coursework. Fed up of it and just want this year to be over now. To be honest with my personal tutor i want my final year to be over now ... that's how run down i am.

Anyway enough of my complaining. What's been going on in the life of me recently. Nothing much to be honest. I've been doing coursework. Got one piece finished and sent it through that plagerism site it came back with 5% copied off other people and that was all from students in places like scotland so i dont think i can get done for either plagerism or collusion :D. Anyway once that was handed in i felt the relief wash over me and i instantly fell asleep (Was only awake because of adrenaline). I pretty much have been catching up on missed sleep over the past few days.

Had family around over the weekend. IT was good to see my cousin and her baby since it's not often that i see them (about 1-2 times a year). Anyway we went of to Kielder for the day and went around the resovoir. Well anyway after they left i've pretty much been playing a few games that i've not been able to play because of all the damn coursework, watching DVDs and sleeping ... ah yes i remember why i like sleep so much now. Not looking forward to going back to uni since i still have something like 3 pieces of coursework due. Robotics where i've got to get a program that we all hate to count how many piece of fruit there are in a picture and say how many pieces of different types of fruit there is, got to write a program with a group of people in a programming language called perl and the program has got to work as a simple search engine by looking up the results given by different search engines (e.g. google) and then compare the results and filter out any repeats. The final piece which i'm sure i'm going to have to resit because of some of the other members of the group is the bloody group project on horses. Quite frankly at this point i couldn't care about it anymore i just want to pass it (even if it's a slim pass) just so i dont have to resit it next year. Thing is some of the other members of my group are actually quitting uni next year because they are fed up of our tutor (cvant blame them i am as well ... fed up not quitting) and they quite frankly dont give a doggy doodoo whether or not they pass at all in any of their modules and have just stopped going to lectres altogether. I am just fed up of it i dont see why i should have to resit because some people can't be bothered to do their share of the work. Our tutor has told us if we dont get the system to do ALL of the reasoning (9 sections each with about 500 possible outputs and we've got to code each output which takes roughly 15 mins each) and get it into an executable we instantly fail the module even the people who do their share of the work. So it's a bit unfair that i seem to be left pulling my share of the work and some of the others aren't. Decided i'm gonig to get my other mates who are working with me on it but dont know how to do the programing in tommorow and tell them how to do it and get it done over the hols in our own time. If we're going to fail i want at least a chance of passing (no matter how slim it is). Seriously just fed up of uni at the moment i'm glad i'm on holiday but it doesn't seem like i'm going to get very much of it to myself.

Anyway i've rambled on for too long and i'm sure you're all sick of hearing me moan so i'll try and be more positive next time.
