Masters Results

Published on 09/02/2010 at 10:56 AM. in University. Closed Tags: , , , .

So its been awhile since i updated my blog, this because im normally quite busy and to be honest when ive been at working sitting in front of a computer all day, all i want to do is chill out and take a break from it all. So in the future i may blog less and use my blog as a personal website to pull in all of my online interactions into one place and display them as a lifestream.

But anyway i finally got my masters results in and i have successfully passed all of my modules though i did have to do two resits of them, and it took me longer than a year to get them finished, actually nearly 3 years to get them done, but least i have them sorted now :) I should have had them sorted last year, but with the transition of going from full time student, to working full time, to having my own flat, playing hockey every weekend i think took its toll, but i found my way back and they have now been sorted :) .

So now the next step will be me to start on my dissertation, which im aiming to do as soon as possible, i just need to get in my dissertation proposal which i hope i can get in next week, its 2000 words so much smaller than what im use to as the normal essay i have written in the past is 4000 words. And i have all of the required material for the essay so thats a bonus.

Though my masters will be a dauting task, 16000 words is alot, but im nearly there now, it will all be worth it in the end :D .

What a Busy Weekend

Well last weekend went very quickly and we are almost half way to the next weekend! Last weekend was particularly busy, i played hockey on Saturday for Chester against sale hockey club, i enjoyed playing. Once again i gave 110% and pushed myself even when i was feeling tired, I was busy attacking the left wing. I have pretty much made the left wing my position when i play hockey now., though occasionally play up front or the right wing. I enjoy left wing as i have to work twice as hard, and iam really starting to feel like i can control the game much better now.

On Sunday although uneventful i got down to writing my research methods for my masters, and i succeeded in making the essay up-to nearly 4000 words :) So glad that is happy, also i have sorted out my dissertation idea and know exactly what i want to do for it, which is much better :)

A change

Well ive changed the style and theme of my blog, i thought a change was better. And this theme brings together my blog and lifestream in a much better way. Before i use to run a lifestream using sweetcron, but although it was nice to track all of my internet activities, it didnt really do anything functional. As i doubt anyone cared that it was there, so with this new theme i can combine my blog and lifestream.

Also i have chosen to simplfy my blog, as im finding less time to create new themes, and do other creating. Im too busy with working, playing sports or chilling out, website building or other creating is firmly on a back burner, well until my dissertation is out of the way.

Holiday and the D word

Published on 03/11/2009 at 12:15 PM. in Blog and Personal. Closed Tags: , , , , .

Well i’ve come to the conclusion i need a Holiday, or at least a proper break away. I had a few days off and that was nice last week. But i could do with a proper break away, currently of thinking of saving up and going out to Australia to see my brother, that would be quite the life time experience, its defiantly on the cards.

But as much as i want a holiday i do have to get on with and start what is starting to become known as the D word, which is my masters dissertation, as im having to work out and pinpoint what i am going to do my dissertation on. My current dissertation is based around “social networking with Sharepoint”. Which i think could be interesting as my line manager has said that it would be good for the University and my Job. As it would be strategic which is nice, also will not have to worry about funding my dissertation as he has said that the department would be able to pay for me to do my dissertation, so that’s awesome.

Busy Busy

Just a few things im doing at the moment, and what ive been up to of recent days and weeks:

Since moving back to Chester i have been unbelievable busy as i now have a social life once more, and its pretty hectic to say the least, ive only been back in Chester less than two weeks and already been out socialising at least four or five times, but all good times! Particularly enjoyed going out on monday, back to rbs which was an awesome night :) .

In work im enjoying it, been playing around with sharepoint server which although clunky and chunky is quite powerful indeed especially as a CMS.

University work is progressing well, trying to get my last 4000 word essay written so i can then begin to start on my dissertation after Christmas, but progress is slow and left to the weekends, i plan to nail it on the head this Sunday and get it sorted.

Hockey, ive played for university once, but because of working i haven’t been able too much as i like, but been training and training with Chester too, and playing on Saturday for the 6ths, well its a start at least. :)

Flat, im all settled largely into my flat, still need to put some photos up when i get time, though still without a tv, but never mind.

All in all pretty damn busy.
