The Start of a New Era

... well, not quite... but a new year at Uni!

Tomorrow is the start of my second year at Goldsmiths University, and by the start I'm referring to the start of teaching, as that's when the year truly begins. So I will be once more enthused with new ways to write Java, and new ways to code Graphical Interface's, etc, which will be great!

I will again be taking four core units for the second year, and I will go through each of them at some time in the future. I will be working on Monday, Tuesday and Friday with a total of 16 hours of lectures or labs every week. Compared to some degrees at Uni, it's not too bad.

I have been extremely excited about the start of another new era recently as well, that of the third season (or book) of Avatar: The Last Airbender (the greatest Anime show on Earth! And yeah, I think it's Anime!). Book III consists of the Gaang's adventures in the Fire Nation, enemy territory! So it's pretty cool! I've already watched the first two episodes released, and hope to continue to watch them as they are released on a weekly basis.

I have also been playing City of Heroes a lot recently, getting my main Hero up to Level 21 and my main Villain up to Level 19 (almost 20! So close!) I have also been enjoying my time in my two Star Trek RPG's I play on the Internet, although both seem to be moving along at a snail's pace. That's RPG's for you. *sigh*

To introduce myself back into Blogging I will be posting about my summer holiday over the next few weeks. Posts will feature new pics of our newest rabbit, Bessy, who was introduced as a mate to Woody sometime back; information and pics on our trip to Lido de Jesolo (in Venice); information on my course units (as explained above); and information and possibly reviews on the latest Avatar episodes.

To try and keep myself Blogging, I am going to try and and get into a habit of visiting Blogger on a daily basis so I can think about Blogging even if then I don't post a blog entry.

Until my next Blog entry, stay flaming! (Quote: The Headband, Avatar: The Last Airbender).

Summer's Nearly Over

Being almost a whole month since I last posted, you might be wondering where I've been. Well, I am not too sure I can remember that far back. Ah, such is life that you get carried away with it, following it through and just forgetting about other aspects. Such as this blog.

Well, this last month I've been doing a lot of Java work (both for work and personal use) which has included working with J2ME (Java for Micro Devices such as the Mobile Phones), as well as starting the design of another Java game from scratch (having decided to abandon my Guild Wars one which just got too... compressed) based on Star Trek.

I've also been reading a lot, both fiction and ethical books. I've watched a lot of new movies, and played few computer games since I got back from holiday.

Which I spent in Italy for a week (just North of Venice). Last week to be precise. I'll post a seperate post about that soon.

I've joined a Star Trek RPG and created one as well, and I've been keeping an eye on Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Countdown to the Season III Première is upon us! (Look to the right...)

So a lot has happened. Now I intend to post more often since I've got back from Italy. So keep in tune!
