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.

Ice Hockey
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.

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.

So we'r back
I have been in the UK for a week and a half again, I just couldn't find time to post earlier. Preparing for an exam i had took up most of my time.
About the exam I am not so sure if I passed it I hope I will because it was kind of a strange exam. The problem is in how i wrote stuff down, it's kinda hard to structure your answers in a different language when you have a time constraint for writing it.
Ice hockey has started again, today was the first practice and it was a good one. I was kinda dreading on going there but I had a really good time so I am glad I joined the team. We are going to enter a league here so that means I am going to play competitions in a lot of places in the UK. Finally I am going to see something from the UK, without having to do too much effort for it.
Last night was the first party like night, drank too much vodka there but that's what you get when you go drinking with Polish people. Tomorrow is the first house party of the year and I am looking forward to it.
Now I only have to write two reports, do a presentation and design a poster and next semester will begin again. Which will probably mean I'll be talking about coding again and party's, oh I will also keep track of how we do in the league here.
