Neglect.

Ah two months is really not as long as it feels, these past months have gone extremely quickly and that’s a small part of the reason I haven’t posted anything on here since February, the other, larger reason for my absence is due to college and the work therein. And absolutely nothing to do with my terminal laziness, not even a smidge.

Actually to say I am lazy is unfair, I mean these unlocks on Bad Company 2 don’t just magically appear on my screen everytime I log in, no sir, there are hours and hours that go into that. What would be fair though is to say I have what borders on a disturbing lack of motivation towards completing (read: starting) my college work. The Trials of Hercules are nothing in comparison to the gargantuan effort of merely fishing in my bag for the assignment sheet, at least Hercules had the wrath of the gods and the guilt of murdering his sons to spur him on, while I have nothing more than a tutors stare and a vague feeling in my stomach that I should be doing… something… but these are quickly dealt with, BC2 provides a great distraction.

This all came to a head last week though when I was required to do a presentation on my project, being woefully unprepared even though I had about a years notice I quickly threw some slides together and lied my face off, I’m not sure the tutor was impressed and I expressed, truthfully, at the end of my presentation that I had dicked about all year though the reaction off the tutor was surprising; understandably he said that up until the presentation he would have said that yes I had indeed been dicking around but after the presentation he felt I had actually learnt something through the year and had recognised my mistakes.

So both of us suitably surprised, me in that I had not received a bollocking and him that despite appearances I had managed to pull something together with substance, we parted ways and I went home with a strong determination to finish the project once and for all.

But like I said, those unlocks don’t appear by magic…
