So I have a fair few things to say, because I couldn't say them these past couple of days because I was working, but firstly: God is Brilliant.
I love that he totally cares about me. Today for instance, I had an online test due in midnight today and I always leave these literally right up to the last minute, but things weren't going too well this morning. Basically I didn't sleep at all last night. I was looking at my maths and getting a bit stuck when I noticed my clock said 7:xx am, and that it was bright outside. Which isn't really smart when you're planning to do an online test you're finding fairly difficult later in the day. So I went to church this morning, expecting to crash out suddenly and fall asleep somewhere when the pastor mentioned the evening service and I remembered that I really wanted to go. So to cut a long story short I was like :
"Hey God, I really want to go to evening service today but I can't if I haven't done this test and I'm not going to take the test without doing enough revision. Right now I'm looking at about 3-4 out of 8 (yes there were only 8 questions.) but I'd kindof like 6/8. Well I'd like 8/8 but 6/8 seems pretty reasonable, and I'd probably go to church on a 5/8 if it came to it. It's just that I haven't had any sleep at all so I'm probably going to crash out which will ruin everything anyway, so please help me to revise for this test, and to not need any sleep at least until after service, because I don't think anyone will mind if I fall asleep in Student Plus. I know you can totally do this, and I'm gonna try and be soo focused in these next few hours I'm not going to do anything except work. Please make this work."
So now here I am, I haven't slept in 32 hours, I finished my test well in time for evening service and got 100% in it and I don't even feel the slightest bit tired. I haven't even been drinking loads of coffee all day. Brilliant. I love God.
Other things I wanted to say but couldn't because I was working are:
Hey guys, I've just started putting up my Greek Alphabet of cool fictional stuff, but I'm still missing a few letters. If you have anything for Beta, Zeta, Epsilon or any of them really please say. Stuff like Alpha from power ranges, Lambda from Half life and mew from Pokemon. Much appreciated.
Also if I ever get a house, I really want a picture of a misty forest with the slenderman in it to put on my wall. One of those ones where you can't see him straight away, but if you're looking at the picture for a fair amount of time he suddenly jumps out at you even if you weren't looking for him. A little like this one,(couldn't put actual picture because of protection stuffs.) it's just that you can't get them anywhere. Picture shops should sell more slenderman pictures for people to put on their walls, because all the good ones are just on the web. I suppose I could print one out and frame it, but the resolution would probably end up really low. Still it would be cool.

Java time.
I can't stick around, I'm sort of mid-battle with some Java Coursework. These have been some pretty crazy coursework times. I'll probably tell you all about it when its done.
I don't think I'm Gonna make CU, but other than that I have no idea how this is going to turn out. I had 3 hours sleep last night, and I'll probably be living on caffeine untill Thursday night.
Gotta Go! Bye!
*grabs bowler hat while Indiana Jones diving through a window onto a moving train.*
Edit:
Did you know.... Redbull smells like how I remember cowpoll.
I think cowpoll tasted like strawberry sweets though.
RedBull tastes like how cowpoll should taste.
And Oh, I nearly forgot. For all of you who were clinging on to my every word about that art comp, I did make the deadline. [link]
It's clearly not the best or anything, but I think it looks like a proper entry and that's what I was aiming for.
Mission Success.

Spiffing day old chaps!
Today was a good day. Today was a day of doing little to no work, and meaning it.
I went shopping, I drew some picture, I ate real food - with mustard in it, and I do not feel disappointed in myself. Today was not a day of failing to achive my goals, because I started my day without the limitaions of work involved goals. My mum was right, in not trying to do so much stuff, I have achived so much more that I was before.
Also small groups was today (as its Thursday) so I saw and talked to other human people as well.* Which is good for you. We have missions week coming up in Feb, which is kindof a big thing for Cu.
I know no one out there like commenting on my blog, but seriously suggestions would be appreciated. What do you think of the Galaxy Quest moto? "Never give up, never surrender!"? It lacks a bit, but I'm really in need of a change. I could put some kind of moustache and monocle in the corner? Anyone?
Thank you kind sir/madame, a shout out to you for making me happy.
*I was going to put brakets here, but they got a bit long. Then I re-wrote it so it's no longer relevant to above astrix. I used to love onepiece, but now I'm not so sure. Stuff happened, bit hero heavy, a little less funny and a lack of character to watch it for. I wrote a fair amount but that was pretty much what I said.

I also had a bit more of an idea for my poster, I was thinking of taking a bit of a change in direction with it. Partly because I can't think of any other work related popish culture references, and partly because I was reading the TV tropes page for 'stiff upper lip'. So I was thinking of something that says idk 'Brittish' / 'never give up' sort of stuff, although I'm still open for the whole work related pop cutlure quotes.

On another point, while I was attempting to work, I ended up with a word document of fictional geniuses. Is there anything I can do with a list of fictional geniuses? I can't think of anything, but that leaves me with a useless list.
Oh and for all you lovely caring people who were dying to know, my ulcer has finally decided to leave. Yaaaay.
Edit: Also, someone who is not related to me voted on my poll -->Oh and for all you lovely caring people who were dying to know, my ulcer has finally decided to leave. Yaaaay.

My first guests
I had people come round today! :D
Its the first time anybody has come into my room exept my mum and my sister (and university accommodation staff people) so that was pretty cool. It was my student small group thing (part of the CU), and luckly my room was amazingly tidy. Extreamly luckly, I don't think my room has been this tidy on a Thursday ever. (The cleaner people come on Wednesdays but I swear its good atm even for that)
I mean when people say a bomb site they just mean messy, but often enough my room really looks like a metaphorical bomb went off in here. But yeah, good times all round.
As I had an abundance of spare time this week, I also drew a picture for my brother, because he's pretty awesome and he needed a picture. I thought it turned out pretty good. You should go check it out, if only to prove you you actually can.
I also finished kickassia this week. :) that was a pretty epic aniversary vid. Did you know (for all of you who know what I'm talking about - TGWTG ) that that is the real President of Molasia in the video, acting himself?! Apparently he's a fan of TGWTG and said they could do a film in his nation. Anyway, yeah, it was pretty good. And it gave me yet another potential film to add to my 'to watch' list, although I'm not sure yet.
yeah, sorry that this isn't the most epic of blogs, its just not muchhas been up atm. I've slept a lot more and done less work. I finally managed to beat two other newbies at fencing (although I got wiped out by the next guy, and the next person cheated by being left handed)
And I'm nearly out of bacon, which is very sad.

Best... Weekend... In-a-long-time!!
Sorry for the overly long post today.... I've done much stuff.
(Also, as a header, I'm serious about the molemen thing, there have got to be more. If you know what I'm talking about read on.)
I was Gonna give you a structured-ish list of what I did this weekend, in a sort of relevance/importance order or something, but forget it. I can't do that because I did so much and it was mostly all so cool. Also, sorry if Gonna comes up with a capital G, its just my "Global AutoCorrect" software refuses to allow it without one, on the grounds that it is not a real word, but it's what I say and I want to keep it that way so there. Who says "going to" anyways.
•Anyways this week end I got a bit battered up but managed to win both matches that I played in an event which must never be spoken of out side of the CU weekend away is basically something involving fighting people. Only cooler. I have a grazed elbow.
•I also went through the top hole in a giant spiders web without touching it and alerting the spider to our teams existence,
•Watched the fairly awesomeness called Avatar, (ok so that was on Thurs, but it was still this week) [Deviation which was a good all round film, but as an after thought, it really didn't match the hype. The Bum (Chester A Bum, look him up ☺) was right, pretty pictures don't make a great movie. Nevertheless it was still cool, and another win for the "SPOILER" team. :) good times],
•Stayed in a Gilwell Scout lodge thingy with the Loughborough CU guys.
•Found 'the nostalgia chick' via watching the nostalgia critic reviews ferngully.(yes that was also during the week, so this is now things I did this week. Deal with it.)
•Helped in guiding and extremely over-crowded ship (that mostly resembled 3 planks of wood) with very weird steering( it could only ever move at 90° to itself) to a treasure island, whilst avoiding the shark infested waters. I was going to (Ok I said it. I'm sorry for being a hypocrite)
•Saw a massive pyramid of chairs that someone has stacked up during the night in the dining/meeting hall. It was quite impressive.
•Of course I did not help stack most of the chairs into a massive pyramid at 3am in the dining hall.
•Found the awesomeness called Linkara via Tv Tropes. (Under 'a wizard did it' aka when something inexplicable is explained as magic, so it needs no explanation. One of his video's was down as an example of this. He has a very cool hat♥)[yes, I only did that because I wanted to include a link] Although seriously I'd say we have another contender for the cool people who's hats make them cooler list.
On that note, I also started compiling a list of molemen and was surprised to only find about 4. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has any other suggestions than Auron, The guy from Atlantis, The professor and Mole, then please let me know I am interested.
•Found out about Dr Insano, from linkara's vids. LOL
•Had good Bible teaching/seminars/worship/ect at the CU weekend away!
•Played much ninja. That game is win.
•Played signs. Likewise but ninja is probably a little more win, as it involves hitting people.
•Had a movie night in the chaplaincy.
•Played Mafia, and was the mafia. (:S I didn't do so good)
•Won a game of cheat.
•Met/got to know loads of really cool people, a lot of which I can actually name.
•Found someone else who likes the Princess Bride.
And most recently
•Watched the truly epicness of epic called "Toy Story 3", If you haven't seen it, go and see it now. It was good. T~T
Well I'm supposed to be getting an early night. (which didn't really happen) and I have lectures and shopping to do tomorrow (I've mostly run out of food, happily for me the CU weekend away had bread going spare, so I can eat sandwiches :D )
'Till next time
DFTBA.
On the grounds that I really nearly said it of my own accord in different letters. Seriously thought, keep being awesome and have a great week.
