Hello! Dont worry, i havent forgotten about my audience. lol. ive just been keeping you in suspense so that when i do get around to updates, the experience is all the better.

Partly thanks to Tracy, i have no rants. which is a shame cos i do enjoy them. Though I did watch a bit of Pop Idol the other night - it was terrible.

Erm, I re-arranged my living room. So next time Mom pops round she can say "Oooh you've had a change round" and it actually be true.

I'm also on a diet. Well, anti-diet. Whatever. BAsically, I'm underweight (by around 2 stone max) so am trying to put on weight. It's bloody difficult though. I've been eating chocolate all week, having big meals, not moving much - and so far my waistline has changed by, erm, an inch? And even thats debatable! We'll have to see what Tracy says next week. She hasn't seen me while I've been on this diet (started 3 weeks ago) so she'll be able to tell me if there's a difference.

It's my holiday soon! Yes, my first time abroad (on holiday - I go on work trips every few weeks) for 3 years. Going to Ireland - Dublin to be specific. I've spoken to some people and it would be fair to summaris their response as an emphatic "good choice". Me n Trace are off for a week. Stopping in a B&B. Seein the sights and such. I get excited when i think about it - thats how much im looking forward to it. Cos usually i barely react.

Ok, what else? Work is getting better. Im finding my feet nicely and my project is going well. Have a strange prob at the mo, but i'll sort it out. It'll be something silly like I've got two wire mixed up!!! Lol!

May quit lycos chat altogether. Went on their earlier and not a soul recognised me! So maybe sometime soon I'll deactivate my profile once and for all. Shame really, we've had good times. On the other hand, I could keep it running till I'm back at uni where I can talk to Tracy. Though uni computers aren't for that and I may be very busy anyway.

Bit worried about the final year, have been told I could even go as far as MEng. If i do do MEng, I'm the last year of auto-accreditation, which means if I pass MEng I become a Chartered Engineer straight away. I think it's that level, can't remember. Not bad is it? As long as I knuckle down though, I should be ok. Hopefully, if me n Trace are still together, I'd like her to come visit regularly and to visit her too. But I'm sure something can be arranged. Also thinking about living in HAlifax. That way I don't have to wait 50 minutes at the train station. Though that might change cos train operators change next summer.

So it really is just a case of 'wait and see' all round. Though the future, along with the end of this damned education tunnel, is starting to have a definate 'light' appearance.

So, take care ya'll. If you need me, use my yahoo address.
