Well, my blogging seems to have dried up of late, and for good reason – I haven’t had time to. It’s nice just to be able to sit down for a few minutes without having to think about anything. Well, today, I seem to have more time to do that, so I might as well write one of these things. And no, I have no intention of talking about HUU.

It’s been well over two months since I last wrote something maybe even partially interesting – my PhD has really been taking up most of my time, but I’m loving it. Sure, most of my other projects have taken a back seat to my PhD, but I guess the PhD is most important at the moment. I find time to hack on my software every so often, but most of the time I want to spend my time socializing – and there isn’t much time to spend!! However, while I now have some time, converting all my music into 128kbps m4a files for my iPhone, I guess I have time to blog.

As I sat here, listening to Spock’s Beard’s “Ballet of the Impact”, something I haven’t listened to since July, so my iTunes library tells me, I began thinking back at my UG years – and about all those people doing Physics that suddenly I’ve lost contact with. Not that it is intentional, of course, but there are many people that I haven’t spoken to since the 15th July, our day Graduation. For some of them, I really have no excuse, a few, I exchange messages with sometimes, one I still call and chat to every so often, but other than that – nothing. And listening to Spock’s Beard, in particular, the tracks “She is Everything” and “The Beauty of it All”, tracks I have somehow linked to my UG years, made me realize this, and it’s a shame that such things have lapsed.

Not that I am complaining about the fact I have gained new friends, not at all – but there are two or three in particular that I wish I still spoke to more often, indeed, one of them I haven’t spoken to since Graduation. I should really make more of an effort, and break out of the mindset that I have that I give the impression that I have an ulterior motive every time I start talking to someone – cause it isn’t the case! I have no idea why I feel like that – still, never mind.

Wow, I really have nothing more interesting to say. Barring my PhD, my life has been quite boring, I guess. Well, it hasn’t, I’ve been doing a lot – just not stuff to put down here! I don’t think I need to recount the pub visits or anything!

Hmmm… that’s enough from me, time to have a look at Travian…
