next day's entry
Two days in a row at my course, must be a record. Observed the two minutes silence at 11, but did make me think a little. It seems the whole Remembrance Day has been 'hyped' a lot more this year than previously. The cynic in me thinks this is due to the government trying to make itself seem 'of the people' again, especially after the 'war' in Iraq. I feel bad for thinking things like that, especially as I've always done the silence thing, but it just felt 'enforced' upon me for the first time in years, since secondary school in fact, so it really jars me when it gets changed. Makes it kind of obvious something is up more than normal.
Really tired today for some reason, which isn't making it easy for my planning to go to South Shields tonight for my course. I really have to go. I made a decision last night to try harder in everything, because I just seem to be stuck in a rut, but days like this really don't help me. This daytime course is just screwing everything up.
I think Rich leaves at the end of the week. It's going to be weird, because he will be missed, but cause we're all men, we're not saying anything. Hopefully have my Livejournal soon, so will be able to do what Andy did, and put a goodbye on there rather than having an embarrased real world moment.
I feel a tad bad because I've bagged his room, but I have been waiting since I moved in to get a second room in the house, and I did wait until I was certain he was moving, and asked him first. Just feels a little mercenary to me is all.
Hopefully means I'll be able to set up a living room of sorts. Got a sofa already which I'll set up, there is another sofa waiting to come up from my parents, and hopefully will also be able to get a table and chairs, and then we'll have a proper room to roleplay in. Not looking forward to moving my computer desk down, as it may not survive, but I'll have to try. It'll be a bit yet anyway, as it's due to be decorated once Rich leaves.

Grrr, back to thinking about tonight. If I don't go, it means I miss 3 weeks, as I won't go next week (unless orc doesn't run), but the thing is the course is very easy, and I have no trouble catching up. Dilemma.

Getting really hungry right now. Just gone midday, and I'm starving. Can't wait for lunch.

Not looking forward to tomorrow. At my actual 'IT Practitioner' tomorrow, and I've not been for about 2 weeks, between sickness and holidays. It all seems to laissez faire there, so I'm really not expecting to get the qualification.
