Damn I’m tired today.

I had to rebuild my laptop last night. Yesterday trying to setup a VPN connection Windows decided to completely batshit on me and killed all the network connections. After lots and lots of hunting around forums, and trying to get support I eventually bit the bullet and reformatted the hard drive. It was something I’d thought about doing for a while, but put off because it’s such a monumental pain. So last night when I got home, I put in the recovery CD’s and went through the long dull process of reinstalling the system.

At some point through the whole process I had cracked open a beer, and had managed to work my through a few with one of my flatmates. While the laptop was doing it’s thing, we decided to fire up YouTube and watch a few comedy clips. After a few hours of laughing constantly I remembered a “Whose Line is it Anyway?” clip that was really funny, so we watched that. In hindsight it might have been a bad idea.

Since we laughed so hard at the clip, we decided to see what other clips were there from Whose Line. We found lots and laughed until we could barely breathe. There was one clip that we had to watch at least twice because we constantly missed parts of it, we were laughing so much. Eventually, I decided since I had to come to work today I should probably go to bed. It was at that point I realised it was after 5am. I had to get up for work in less than three hours, and I’d been drinking pretty solidly for at least 10 hours.

I wasn’t looking forward to today.

I’m actually feeling a lot better than I anticipated, but then again I fully expected to be huddled in a corner trying not to be sick. The one thing I think is going to break me though will be the game of football I’m playing tonight. Running around for an hour after less than 3 hours sleep, a 10 hour drinking binge, and a full day of work isn’t anyones idea of a good time.

I’m looking forward to 9.30 tonight. That’s when I get home and I can go to bed. I’ve got so much to do at the moment though I doubt I’ll be able to sleep that early. Top of the shit that needs to get done list is my final piece for my course, it’s only worth 50% of my mark so it’s not that important. It’s a major piece, and pretty scary that’s it so heavily influences the course. Still once it’s done I can relax, and I only have about three weeks to write it.

There’s a few other things going on at the moment but I’ll talk about them later.
