Three down - literally

I awoke today to the sounds of birds chirping, gentle breezes and otherwise natural noise that so brightens my heart. Unfortunately, my heart was immediately darkened by the sudden realisation that I was not woken by my alarm and was one hour late for my exam. Of course, this didn’t bother me that much as I had as much chance of passing as a constipated firefly, (geddit? passing, oh never mind.)

Well, apart from that things continue to be irritatingly bad. I discovered recently that the ERC (Education Resource Centre) is in possession of a sizeable quantity of PS2 games, most of which are on two hour loan. Now, I have a DVD burner, so I would like it very much if these games could become aquainted with this wonderful hardware. However, the disks aren’t allowed out of the library. Bugger. Well, to get around this, all I need is a laptop with the ability to read DVDs, if only I knew someone who had such a thing.

How did I find out that I wasn’t allowed to take the discs out of the library? I took them out of course. So now I have two new PS2 games (two was the maximum you are allowed to take out), but I can’t reap this veritable goldmine any further. Oh well, that’s about the usual I guess

Now, only one more exam to fail and then I can get on with failing my Design project and then fail these exams a second time in about 4 weeks or so, ooh, I can’t wait.
