I don't think my mind has had a day of so much mind numbing thinking since I started University.

Trying to fathom how operating systems do software interrupts (2E) at the lowest level C you can do and a load of assembler too, its just too much. All this bitwise stuff and special registers, stacks and other foul stuff.

But I spent a half hour of my own time after the lecture this afternoon asking questions and it now all makes sense. So here's to a productive coursework day tomorrow.

And then I had to suffer the torment of the last ever Comedy Tuesday of 2003 at Southampton University. The last act we had was wonderful, just my kind of humour. A bloke from Canada who obviously took inspiration from Billy Collony. Rather rather amusing.

What else happened today... Not alot. It just seems this day has taken two days off my life. Busy busy busy.

And I've been thinking today how wierd things are with friends. On IRC and too a certain extent in that place we call real life, noone has anything to say anymore.

I find this with most people, so perhaps its a problem with me that I need to sort. But it just seems so hard to keep in conversation with someone for more than a few minutes.

Perhaps I know everyone too well know, or I talk so much shit that noones interested.

Oh well, its nice not having much to say at the moment, I have so much work to be doing.

Finally for today, moving off at a tangent, I'm listening to Runrig at the moment. Its reminding me of my beautiful, absolutely beautiful, holiday on the Isle of Skye. I don't think I've been as relaxed and felt so comfortable since. Its a magical place.

I'm missing everyone from home, missing everyones kind parents too. I regret not spending the effort to keep in total contact with everyone now.

But here's to gorgeous music.

Matt.
