Earthquake

About 30 - 40 minutes ago (no is 1:35 UK time) we got hit by an earthquake, 4.7 on Richter scale. Was kinda funny, I just thought who the hell is running down the corridor like a elephant. But apparently a lot of people felt it because the streets here filled up with people to see if anyone else felt it.
It wasn't very heavy just a minor tremor, still a girl next door got very scared and didn't dare go to bed again, and asked the next door neighbor to stay in his room (Damn!, she is quite hot).
In other news happening here my professor (the one of the bursary) said Rockstar Leeds was interested in speaking to me, so I am now waiting foor their invite for a interview for an internship.

Well i got my marks from the previous semester and scored two distinctions (C++ and real-time computer graphics). The average is also still a distinction luckily :P.
C++ Programming and Design = 76 / 100
Game Development Architecture = 59 / 100
Real-Time Graphics = 79 / 100
Average 71.3 / 100
So all the hard work has paid off luckily.

Next week I have to match to play.
One is in New Castle where we are going on Tuesday, match time is at 00:00. On the bus back we are gonna have the skinny man drinking contest which is going to be a good laugh. The contest consists of an endurance drinking race, its who can down the most bottles. The contest is between our two skinniest members of the team.
Then on Friday we have normal practice and on Sunday there is another away match.

First Ice Hockey Match

So yesterday was our first ice hockey match, which we won with 9-6. We played against a team that already had played two matches so for a first match this is a nice result.
I stopped two slap shots and got one shot at goal, sadly I didn't score.
After the match we had a team social in Pipers and they did some rewards. Basically the rewards were just an excuses to have everybody down a pint of beer.
After this I went to a house party again because well it's Friday and that means heavy drinking here.
The plan for tongiht is gonna be spiders and that's gonna be a lot of fun as well.
