So yeah, I decided to take a course. But not the one I was thinking about doing first. I was told I should aim higher, so I did. I'm now doing an ECDL (European Computer Drivers Licence). Had my first class in it tonight and surprisingly I've turned out to be top dog of the class. At least for now anyway. Wish I hadn't lost my plastic Star Wars lunchbox with Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers on.....Ah well, can't be helped, didn't know I was gonna go back to school !
Anyway, tonight the course covered functions and file managing, so that was pretty easy, well, not for everyone of course but no doubt they'll know plenty about other parts of the course. Had to do an assessment to get in too which was quite difficult. So I'll be doing that course till the beginning of July next year, but its only a couple of hours a week plus any stuff i do at home. :-)
Won another game for a review I did and picked a Star Wars game as my prize. Star Wars: Battlefront - excellent stuff, now I can pilot ATATs !!! Just what I've always wanted to do ! Ever since I was a little kid (well, when I started being a little kid), I've always loved the ATAT in Star Wars. In fact, if I were stupidly rich (which will never happen), I would actually pay stupid amounts of money to the films model makers to make me an exact copy of an ATAT. ;-) Thats how much I love them. And thanks to my beautiful and extremely sexy fiancee, I'll be able to watch the ATATs in surround sound and on DVD, cause Juls has bought me the Star Wars box set !!! YAY !!!!!!!!!
My Dad has a new widescreen TV which he is all happy with. Gotta get the pic I promised Juls sorted out soon. ;-) I'd love a nice widescreen TV but don't have either the funds or the realistic space to put it in. Would have to rearrange my room to set it up which would make it an even more expensive venture. So I'll just stick with the TV I have. ;-)
So my poor sexy princess has been pounded by hurricane after hurricane lately. Think they're gonna run outta names soon - instead they'll be called stuff like "Hurricane Janet's Second Cousin Vinnie" or something. At least it hasn't smashed up the house, but unfortunatly the motel took a bit of damage. But at the end of the day, property can be replaced, people can't. So the main thing is that nobodys been hurt. Well, not in Juls' family anyway. ;-)
Hopefully it won't be long till I can get her flight booked soon. Its Juls turn to be here for Christmas, so everyones expecting her. ;-) She always gets spoiled by everyone when shes here for Christmas - not that she complains at all. ;-)
I mainly like the fact that she can actually sit down and enjoy herself instead of being everyones Christmas slave. Plus of course the fact that I love being with her. ;-)
Anyway, my shoulders ache and feel like shit, so I'm gonna end here.
