Mallorca, Majorca, Whatever you want to call it!

Long time no update!! As you can probably work out from the title, I’m out in Mallorca at the moment with my family. A little bit bored, well, a lot bored, and missing my girlfriend lots

I’ve got the Internet for a bit, and seeing as I haven’t updated this blog in forever decided id update it. Not much has really been happening, been to Puerto Andratx(actually Port d’Andratx according to the map I’ve found).

Unfortunately the maps a bit rubbish but oh well, that should suffice.

Apart from that not really done much here, just been playing on my xbox (its sad isn’t it, I brought my xbox on holiday with me)

Cant wait to get back and be with my sme again, and then a few days later going to the US with her (check out my Flickr Stream once I’ve set it all up, hopefully I can find a wifi access point where I can upload my pictures!)

Also, what should my next phone be? an iPhone 3G, a Nokia n95 8Gb, or anything else seeing as its time to renew my contract

Anyhoos, im off for now, till whenever at some point, toodles!

Last Day…….

5 weeks of getting up at 7 4 days a week have almost come to an end! Note that all this work was unpaid! If it was paid it would be decided less painful (How much does your average IT administrator get paid per hour ish?)

Its not been a bad time, infact its been great, but working for no money just doesnt feel right somehow lol, the cash i would have got from working most certainly would have helped paying off my loans ( /Sarcasm Thanks UK government for introducing tuition fees by the way, my life has been SO much better with them
/Sarcasm)

Certainly has been a pleasant experience working here at St John’s Hospice (www.stjohnshospice.org, make a donation!!!), an experience I’m sure that will stay with me forever, with people I’ll never forget………. unless i destroy even more brain cells with ingesting too much alcohol!

Still have the assignment to finish, got about 800-850 words out of 2600 now, but that’s just writing up critical reflection on 2 more of my learning targets which shouldn’t take much more than an hour each, and a little introduction, and then attaching appendices to the end of it all! Also gotta revise one of my initial learning targets because apparently its not written well or some rubbish, not too happy with my initial marks of a 2:2 for my learning targets, apparently performing training for staff in Outlook is nowhere near as good a learning target as laminating documents or shredding paper.

Really not happy with the way this modules been handled by the University (www.chester.ac.uk), but i dont think many people are, especially with this hand in date on a friday at mid day………. im fairly sure the university has a policy about hand-ins on a friday, what with the university being closed over a weekend, and then a bank holiday, so if for some reason you fall ill on friday, you miss 3 days of having your work handed in, for epic penalties *insert sony crab battle joke….. for epic damage*

Anywhoos, better get back to work, may post later, may be too busy, the only way you’ll find out is by checking back later!

Dammit im addicted again!

I just had to do it didnt i, i just had to start blogging again. Now im blogging just about everything!

Didnt sleep again last night, well, at least i dont think i did, seem to remember seeing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 o’clock coming up on the alarm clock again, dont know why i couldnt sleep again, i think its because im worried about over sleeping and i keep on waking up thinking ive overslept or something *is confused*

Up to about 800 words on the 2600 words for my assignment, which means ive just about finished the writeup of one of 3 Learning Targets, hopefully get the rest of it done tonight.

Once againnot so much to do at my placement apart from fixing computers and explaining stuff to people, seems to get old quickly……. especially when its the same problem over and over again most of the time. Oh well……. im sure it would be an awful lot less painful if i was getting paid *shakes fist at university*, being on this placement is costing me so much in petrol 10p a mile is stupid, i could just about manage that……… if i was to drive in 5th down a hill at all times!

Anywhoos, back to work i guess, im sure i’ll post another update later, no doubt with even less worthwhile information!

Critical Assessment………….

Why do we have to write these stupid assignments for university? As if it wasn’t bad enough making us work for 5 weeks, unpaid, we now have to write 2600 words on how we did!

Supposedly I’m supposed to have time to work 8:45-4:45 (this is before the 40 minute drive or so it takes me to get to my placement), and then go to the library, to read up to find references on how to draw a diagram of a room, anyone here ever read a book on how one should draw a diagram of a room in word?!?! “You should use 3pt lines in your diagram, else the diagram is no longer valid” or some stupid rubbish

As well as looking up in books how to present an effective slide show and reference that too. “You may think a slide show is just pictures, but there’s some very specific science behind it” or some rubbish, I just don’t know what the university is thinking when they come up with this rubbish

Anyhoos, that’s enough of a rant for now, seeing as I’ve got to work out what was wrong with my learning targets so I can adjust those before I can write up this assignment…… not fun!

Hey!

Well once again ive sunk to the level of getting a blog, after managing to escape for oh so long.

Not much is going up here at the moment, but hopefully once my summer really starts i’ll be keeping and up to date journal of my travels across the USA!

Until then…….. go amuse yourself with a better blog!
