A Sabbatical, A Challenge

Part of it is advice given to me, but I think I'm going give it a full, serious go and give Facebook and MySpace a complete rest (no status updates or checking it), and only going on if I'm emailed a message.

Weirdly enough, it constitutes a challenge since I'm addicted to technology and the computer.

But hopefully I will come out of the feeling fresh. And in the meantime, I can earn some serious gamerpoints on the 360 and get playing MGO on the PS3.

Win, win.

Tomorrow is a big day, seeing the lecturer for my course at the University of Manchester about that appaling essay result, apparently my sources tell me the marker has been noticed for dropping unnecessary marks. So Hopefully, here goes! And maybe my trip to University will be more productive than today where I was there for all of 20 minutes to hand in some paper.

Commutiung is ridiculous! (Stay Tuned for more...) I'm off to paint the town blue...

A Special Place...











For so many reasons.











I remember the first time like it was yesterday and it gives me such an amazing feeling.

I'm sad, but I'm forever grateful.

Thank you! =]

I'm a Virgin

I'm Virgin Trains best customer today, not to mention Boris' messenger boy on the TFL.

Travelled to Manchester to hand in an essay and leave...! And now on my way in the opposite direction to the capital. Before heading back sometime this evening for £1 V&C at the Underground!

I worked out it's about 400 miles I'm clocking up today, probably more.







Yes, I take pictures of myself on the train! Gangsta! ... Not to mention there's a couple sitting opposite!

Hooray!

Sam Mead was right - I'm an idiot!

Clarity of Expression


Liberté. Égalité. Fraternité.

I need to provide clarity of expression this time, since I did so dire on my last essay (More to come on that, like I said).

I have less than 7 hours to write an essay on whether the French Constitutional Council has come to serve as a 'third legislative chamber'.

Its interesting in its own way, but I fall asleep at every opportunity reading the research.

And the French Constitutional Council is a halfway house between our courts and the US Supreme Court.

Except, no appeals system, and they don't "create" laws, merely say whether they are legal or not.

So, basically, no, its not a third chamber, though it is very powerful in its own way. Now to translate this into 1,500 or so words.

Blogging has become my #1 Procrastination activity.

Its fun to write, even if there's no point behind it all.
