Portofolio, Family Visits

Well today and yesterday i have been working on my portfolio site, which is now almost done and the link to it can be found on the right.
From tomorrow on till 25th of March I will finally be having a bit of vacation as my Mother and brother are coming over from NL. This semester is even worse than last one as they have given us so much todo and not enough time to do it in. Well at least i got my Shaders almost done and Physics is coming along nicely as well.

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.

A week of parting and partying

This week was a week of say goodbye, because all the students that are here on Erasmus scholarships are going home. So we had a goodbye party for Peter a Polish friend of mine on Tuesday, which actually turned out to be a good party.
Friday was the birthday of another friend of mine, which we celebrated in Spiders, the only metal club in town here. And they were actually playing good music this time not too much gothic and more metal. We all got very drunk there, price for shots and cocktails there are ridiculously cheap.
And last night there was a major house party, it was organized to celebrate the end of exams, which we did in style. Good party we came in and after a few minutes a couple of guys were already dragging in a Christmas tree to burn it in the back yard.

This week I'll put my game up for download, i still have to figure out how to run it on other pcs. So when that is done I'll put it up for download with some description of the controls.

Long overdue post

Ok this post is long overdue and it's about all the crazy stuff thats going on on Fridays over here.
This story starts on halloween when we got invited for a party that on the last minute didn't happen. Lucky for us there was another party going on somewhere else. When we walked in to this party, of course we weren't invited but who cares, there were only girls there so we felt well this is gonna be a good night. After we were in for 5 minutes this girls comes up to use and starts yelling at us we we weren't dressed up, and what we were doing there. This lasted for a bout 10 minutes and afterwards we actually had a good laugh with her. This night ended a bit weird though.

The next party was that friday at asylum the night lub an campus it was an ISA party, you know the society that signed me up by having a party, good way to get members though. This was a weird night as well as i couldn't get drunk that night and I was drinking double vodka shots. In retrospect though i might have switch to hard liquor to early that night.
To continue the next week we crashed a party again, he sounds like we are getting good a this thing here. This party turned out to be a birthday party, we a group of about 20 people just walked in and started drinking. Here one of my friends try to climb a wall, more accurately what happened was he walked into the wall. He ran up to it and jumped but couldn't get high enough so he sacked into the wall.
This is also the night the legend of the giraffe was born. See picture blow the guy eating the leaves.

Then finally we come to two weeks ago this was a crazy night as well, also the most expensive one I have been on here. 7 quid 50 for 2 shots of brain hemorrhage. This was just basicly a pub crawl that ended up at some friends house were I saw the greats pile of dishes ever.

As you can tell i don't really remember everything that happens on Friday nights here but thats just because we start to early.

T-shirt as a brick

Just went to a Microsoft lecture and got a free t-shirt. The T-shirt is packed as a cube that's 5cm x 5cm x 5cm.

In the instruction, which is a piece of paper that's packed with it, they tell you to just add water to a brick and it will give you a T-shirt. They could have made the drawing a bit clearer so that you immediately know it's unpack this cube and add water it's a funny picture though will add one later.

The lecture the gave was kinda boring it was more a way to sell the company to students. I was expecting a bit more of an in depth talk.

St. Patrick's day

I think I made some plans yesterday to be in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day.

Dave (an Irish course mate) invited some of us to come over to Ireland on St. Patrick's Day to get hammered for a week.

Irish pub

I went out to an irish pub last night. It's totally different from back home. As we have a mix of old and young people in these bars here they only have old people in em on saterday. Besides they even listen to some sleepy music.

After the irish pub i went to a bar were only people from the age 30 to 40 go. It's funny to see a totally different crowd that has a night out here.
