I'm due...

Posted by NEVR Feb. 13, 2009 @ 2:39 AM EST

...For a new news post.

So now that the hustle and bustle of the new year is all over and done with, and we've hopefully all settled into 2009, it seems like a good time to update this beast.

For me the past few months have been all about getting into my new lecture pattern. Each year of my course consists of 6 modules which I have to pass, and 3 of them are taken in the first term, and 3 in the second term. The third term is a much shorter one and is primarily for exams. So, having finished the first 3 modules for this year, I've moved onto the second three... which, frankly, don't seem all that exciting right now. Hopefully they'll pick up the slack a bit in the coming weeks, though.

I have a few coursework essays due in soon as well, so I'm going to get started on those ASAP. Fun fun.

It seems that this academic year is going fairly quickly for me. In a few months time it'll be all but over, and it really doesn't seem like so long ago that I moved into my on-campus residence. Myself and 5 friends are looking for houses off-campus to rent for next year, so hopefully we'll find something relatively soon. We looked around one place which was OK, but the size of some of the bedrooms was a little off-putting. Obviously for student housing you can't exactly be overly picky, but I'm sure we can find better than that.

There's possibly another friend who might be living with us next year, too, because she seems to be having trouble with the people whom she was originally supposed to be living with. I won't go into the details of that, but let's just say I'm glad that the people I'm living with are all good friends who -- touch wood -- won't be letting myself or any of the other guys down.

Aside from that, I'm still doing Tae Kwon Do, which is going nicely. Not much to tell on that front particularly, except that I've started doing breaking techniques (where you kick through a board), and I'm learning new patterns for my next grading. I'm still enjoying it, and I've even been known to sacrifice some of the heavier nights out in order to ensure that I'm awake and fresh for the Saturday class.

I think that pretty much covers everything that's been going on over the past month and a half.

That's it from me; you stay classy, Newgrounds.

After you finish the English Lit. course, you'll move your course to Law, right?

The Brazilian system looks like that system, but it's with "credits". You need "X" credits to complete your course, and you get a certain amount of credits each subject you finish. There are some "bonuses", such as having a diploma for a foreign language, for example. The harder the course, more credits you need & etc...

Also... get to EGSC already! =P

Feb. 20, 2009 | 1:15 PM NEVR responds:

I won't get to EGSC for a long time...

Happy Valentine's day you sexy, sexy man.

Feb. 20, 2009 | 1:15 PM NEVR responds:

Belated thanks you beast of beasts!

Feb. 15, 2009 | 3:08 PM Black-Ops says:

A fair bit of that applies to me too. I've recently started a fresh set of 3 modules: Mathematics of Space & Change, Computing Systems and 2D Graphics Programming, and they don't seem all that great compared to what I was doing before that. ;(

Lecturer for Maths is annoying. He's annoying and tries to be funny, but instead fails HARD. He once described himself as a Stalinist when it comes to teaching Maths???

The lecture runs between the hours of 9am and 1pm (with an hour break), so it's hellish trying to pay attention. Afterwards, we all have a LAN game of Halo at the labs, so it's something to look forward to after all the shittiness. The other classes aren't much special in anyway, although 2D Graphics Programming is quite good.

Anyhoo, seems like you're doing well. Take care of yourself. B)

Feb. 20, 2009 | 1:16 PM NEVR responds:

Sounds like I would really not get along well with your course...

Feb. 15, 2009 | 5:54 PM Jake says:

I was wondering where you've been lately. This pretty much explains it.

Feb. 20, 2009 | 1:16 PM NEVR responds:

MAGIC!

Feb. 17, 2009 | 7:59 PM BobbaQ says:

I'm the second semester of uni. I've come to realise that I know bugger all about chemistry, and I've got an assignment for it due in 10 days. Still, the anthropology is good fun. Checking out skeletons and all that :P Also, I realised last night that if I get 70 B/P every day until New Years Eve I'll be Commander. And Happy belated Valentines today ;) Did you get any cards?

Feb. 20, 2009 | 1:17 PM NEVR responds:

LOL, no cards for Valentines day this year. :(

oh boy oh boy

TKD, eh? I earned my provisional black belt several years ago. Board breaking is fun. I actually really enjoyed poomse also. What school are you in? We were learning the Tae Guck (sp?) forms, though I hear there are several others.

Feb. 20, 2009 | 1:22 PM NEVR responds:

I'm learning Linked TKD. To my knowledge, the only difference between other styles, such as WTF TKD is that we kick primarily off the front leg, and we can kick and punch to the head in sparring matches... and I think there are some differences in the patterns we learn, although I'm not exactly sure what they are.

I'm only a yellow belt right now; I started in like September or so... so I haven't been doing it long. Apparently I have another grading soon, so I'll be going for my green tag then. Hopefully by the time I leave uni I'll have my 1st dan black belt.

I wanna do Taw Kwon Do!!!!! Kick through a board eh???

Feb. 20, 2009 | 1:46 PM NEVR responds:

Heh, I've only done breaking once, but I managed to actually break the board, which I was pleased with. It's much harder than it looks -- it's all about technique really rather than brute force.

Feb. 20, 2009 | 2:10 PM Jake says:

You're such a baller.

Feb. 20, 2009 | 11:11 PM NEVR responds:

I try my best. :)

having a girl kissing your cheek (lol) for a profile pic is kinda sad

10k exp!... congrats... that's really great

Yes

Mar. 8, 2009 | 3:53 AM Wrinkles says:

Newgrounds? Classy? I think what you meant say here was "stay horrifying and filled with angsty teenagers, Newgrounds."

Mar. 8, 2009 | 4:25 AM NEVR responds:

As far as the internet goes, Newgrounds is pretty mild in terms of the content within. There's much worse out there, and for internet users in general (who, more often than not, have notoriously thick skins), NG actually is pretty classy compared to some of the shit that's out there.

I stick by my original assertion.

Mar. 8, 2009 | 2:21 PM MissingNYC says:

"you stay classy, Newgrounds."
you must be joking right?

Mar. 8, 2009 | 2:27 PM NEVR responds:

See above.

Mar. 14, 2009 | 10:59 AM Wrinkles says:

While this certainly isn't the worst, it's not the best either.

I think a fair trade off should be "stay more classy than average, Newgrounds."

Or, of course, I could just leave you alone. But who want's that? Seriously.

Mar. 14, 2009 | 11:44 AM NEVR responds:

It's also an Anchorman reference, BTW, so changing the phrase would kinda ruin the effect of making a reference to it in the first place.

Mar. 19, 2009 | 12:10 PM Wrinkles says:

Oh, well I didn't know it was a Ron Burgundy quote, dammit, you should have said that 10 comments ago.

Mar. 21, 2009 | 10:37 PM NEVR responds:

LOL oh well.

Mar. 20, 2009 | 12:17 AM Steven-Polley says:

dude man. I see you used the word "bustle" in your newspost. I don't know what it means... :(

Mar. 21, 2009 | 10:38 PM NEVR responds:

"Hustle and bustle" means busy times.

Mar. 21, 2009 | 4:32 PM kidray76 says:

I miss posting here on the regular. Fucking job and it's web filters :(

Also ps, I''m going to make a t hread about your penis in the near future, check it out, should be fun.

Mar. 21, 2009 | 10:38 PM NEVR responds:

Haha, I'm definitely looking forward to that.

Mar. 21, 2009 | 10:25 PM WavyGravy says:

I think Kidray is stalking your cock.

On another note; Were you able to solve your "unable to play Portal defender" issue? You're truly missing out man; and you're right. The semester is quickly drawing to a close.

Mar. 21, 2009 | 10:39 PM NEVR responds:

He probably is, but then us mods have to stick CLOSELY together ;P

And yeah, I can play portal defenders now, but it doesn't register new achievements to my account, which is a bit lame. Good game, though. I've played it a couple of times and gotten up to Wadolf, but frankly, it's not quite as fun without the achievements. :/

Mar. 23, 2009 | 4:07 PM WavyGravy says:

"The legend of the 12 golden amulets" <- Creative literature, or a load of crock? :-D

Mar. 24, 2009 | 4:21 PM NEVR responds:

Probably a bit of both, LOL.

Mar. 23, 2009 | 5:58 PM kidray76 says:

I'm telling you BR, if you ever get a chance to see NEVR penis, i swear man, you'll forget your a pussy beater and instantly become a fairy. I mean, he showed me once, and I forgetten that I was engaged and I was ready to give him the best BJ he ever had.

Great, now you gotten me all turned on for nothing. THX BR >:(

Mar. 24, 2009 | 4:22 PM NEVR responds:

I think all that needs to be said here has pretty much been said ;P

Mar. 24, 2009 | 1:57 PM Sensationalism says:

Stay classy? You clearly stole that from MissAllanPoe. And she stole it from Anchorman. I'm staying away from this post, I don't want to be arrested as an accomplice to theft! :P

Mar. 24, 2009 | 4:22 PM NEVR responds:

MissAllanPoe can suck my cock; I stole it straight from Anchorman. I don't deal with middlemen, it's bad for business.

Mar. 25, 2009 | 1:20 AM WavyGravy says:

lmao @ Kidray-"I was ready to give him the best BJ he ever had" GUESS YOU HAD YOUR DOUBTS

<3 you guys. Sorry for all the e-drama NEVR in your personal blog.

Mar. 25, 2009 | 4:00 AM NEVR responds:

E-drama makes news posts interesting ;P

Mar. 29, 2009 | 7:03 PM kidray76 says:

That's the power of NEVR's penis man. I can only imagine what he is doing on campus.

Now, I'll stop talking like NEVR and his penis like they are two different entities.

Also, "Hi Nevr" Hows the first year going along?

Apr. 10, 2009 | 1:42 AM NEVR responds:

Nearly finished, man. Got 2 weeks left of holidays, then back to uni for like 4 exams... then I'm done. Time flies :S

Mar. 31, 2009 | 5:09 PM Clock-Ninja says:

FUCK YOU

Apr. 10, 2009 | 1:43 AM NEVR responds:

I'm guessing that's for when I banned you.

Apr. 1, 2009 | 7:45 AM Coop83 says:

I have formed a new splinter group - The Tibetan Gentleman's Club, where we focus our attentions on the finer things in life - spirituality, philosophy, setting fire to oneself in protest at oppression.

Will you join us?

Apr. 10, 2009 | 1:43 AM NEVR responds:

You know I'm always right behind you, Coop.

In a totally non-sleazy way.

>_>

Apr. 1, 2009 | 3:11 PM BobbaQ says:

Apr. 10, 2009 | 2:15 PM NEVR responds:

I'm kinda bored, hence my incessant posting on the BBS right now.

Apr. 11, 2009 | 6:29 PM thirsty4 says:
