So Demotivated Today

Thursday was a full day of College, has been since the strand choice decision came in to swing. First lesson was great, I tweaked my Tic Tac Toe game even more to fix bugs and such. Was funny as me and Paula (my teacher) spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out how we could stop the process from repeating so you couldn't place a nought or cross over a square which has already been pressed and then she finally worked out all we needed to type was "End Sub"! Happens a lot in programming, takes the longest time to find easy solutions.

But the main core of this blog post was for me to blab about my day in general at college. 2nd lesson was Advanced Databases and I came in alright (had Sue my tutor moan at me previously which was annoying) and listened at first to learn about Forms but then lost interest. I feel bad because John puts so much effort in to doing the teacher and no one bothers to listen, this has a knock off effect on me too so I end up day dreaming and not doing anything. I am not too bothered because I can do forms with a wizard so I'm sure I will be fine. I didn't finish off my Task 6 though due to the lack of motivation, oh dear.

Lunch time was cool. Pound Land got me £1 worth of Maryland Cookies (I am tempted to have some now but I won't as it's bed time! lol) and then £2 on a Chicken Tikka baugette with Aaron was a tastey lunch.

Lesson 3 was terrible as I actually spent the whole 90 minutes doing nothing but checking out random stuff on Wikipedia and doing no work. Did you know greeks used to believe that yawning is a sign of the person's soul trying to leave their body? I thought that was interesting as well as the research I learnt about scars on your body and more. That lesson ended and fourth with Wahid started which was bad again. On came the video and me being tired already just couldn't take it for long so after 20-30 minutes I dozed off for 10 mins or so. I somehow always managed to wake back up though and when I did it became more interesting (history of computers) so I paid more attention and was actually disappointed when he stopped it to do some talking which I REALLY was not motivated for. He finished 10 minutes early but that last 20 minutes went sooooo slow.

Anyway I'm not quite sure why I decided to write so much, I think it's because I know I've been lacking and feel like I need to actually bother with doing a blog as it's my New Year Resolution and all. I'm doing quite good though, most people give it up after a few weeks. I'm about 2 months in so I'm happy with my commitment at the moment.
