The Currency Crisis

We entered Thailand on Friday 19th December, heading
for Christmas cheer on the islands off the southern
coast. Not only did it sound like a good spot – many
travelers congregate in this area for Christmas, and it’s
never nice to be alone in the festive season – but the
Thai currency crisis meant my dollars could buy a lot
more festive spirit down the pub. Listen to this for a story
of mismanagement and corruption with a distinctly Asian
flavour.

11th Week

Still up to me eyes in collage work, finally got my alice project done on friday though and the murder mystery is handed up too thank god. Throughout the weekend i was trying to think of what i needed to do, all i could think of was the cisco online questions. I got like two of them done and got so bloody bored i jus had to get away from the pc and go out or something. Then today i found out i had way more work to do then i thought! Computer arch., Networking and Minitab assignments and programming, stats and networking tests!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

10th week

I thought last week was pressurised, i was very very wrong....I spent every free second i could find during the weekend on me alice game and at this stage i think ive accumalated about 35 - 40 hours on the project and i havent even started the environment! I keep getting distracted, adding things i dont even need to add! Also, That murder mystery deadline is creeping up and we still dont even have all the clues done! TIME TO GET THE FINGER OUT!

9th week

Lost me job! it will be hard to enjoy myself now as i will have to live on my parents money and set an even tighter budget and going out on my money thats NOT mine is definitly out of the question, but hopefully i might be able to save a bit of lunch money to go out every now and then. This week will also be hectic in terms of projects and assignments, i have a project of some sort to do for all of my subjects and most of the deadlines are close, ill have to say goodbye to getting a good nights sleep!

8th Week

Finally got my monthly bus pass, thats a weight off my shoulders. Although i am still in a dodgy position in terms of work i have a good plan for the summer, i will look for work in the central statistics office, yes i know, il be working for the government! From what i heard they always look for students to work during the summer, 9 to 5 and about 400 euro a week. summer is a good bit away but at least its something to look forward to as it is hard at the moment to find a job that suits me besides the one im hanging onto now!

7th week

Finally finished my essay about digital terrorism, got 100% in my programming test and passed my alice test, things are going well from a short-term academic point of view, allthough there are a few exceptions; im finding it very hard to attend networking classes and when i do, i rarely learn much and in terms of my teamwork murder mystery project we have made very little progress due to the fact that there is always someone from the group who cant make the meetings and most of the time they are cancelled. I am almost tempted to do the whole thing myself just to get it out of the way, if only i had more knowledge of murder mysteries!

6th Week

I have talked to my boss and sorted out extra hours, so hopefully i wont have to limit myself to 13 euro a week for too long, not that i was successful in terms of saving. Ive been waiting for a certain ps3 game to come out for years and it came out on friday, even though i cant really afford to get anymore games, i was so bored during the wet eventless weekend that i jus ran down to extra vision and picked up the ultimate cure for bordem! another 50 euro down the drain. Well at least i got double pay for working on bank holiday monday!
