In my videos I tend to put on a facade, which, while it's totally me expressing my opinions and my goals, sometimes my feelings are left a little absent from said videos, mainly because they impair my ability to present, and my philosophy is that if you're not going to deliver an upbeat, and informative video, then why bother?
So, on to the good and bad news...
The good news is, I'm raring to go on the project, I'm pretty stoked at having a new idea and I'm glad that I might actually have the time to implement it in a way which I deem satisfactory, there's no need to rush, and it will be an excellent learning experience.
The bad news relates back to the subject of time, unfortunately I have recently been issued some of my university project work, now while this would usually be a fairly painless turn of events for say a programming or web design module, the work I have been given was for networks, it's a 3000 word pain in the ass that I could really do with out.
At the moment I am working on section 1, the 700 word report to start things off, it has proved somewhat more difficult than expected, mainly because I absolutely detest learning about networks, I cannot abide networks if I'm being honest, I think the way it's taught leaves a lot to be desired and I generally have no time for networking, as I take close to no interest in it.
Usually I will find a task fairly straightforward if I am able to link it to a hobby or interest I enjoy and make time for in my leisure time, unfortunately, networking has no such link, and therefore I'm forced to rough it out guerilla style.
I stayed up till 5am last night, reading the books and mashing away at my keyboard, the deadline is quite a long way off, so you're probably thinking, why on earth did I stay up till 5am working on module work I cannot abide? the reason I took this approach was because I know my own mind, if I were to leave the work till later, I would simply procrastinate until I could procrastinate no more, and would end up with a whole weekend of crippling stress and anxiety, because I have made the conscious decision to do the work instantaneously, I have brought the balance of power back into my own hands, and I'm now able to complete the work, and move on from there.
Why did I mention this in a technical blog? I mentioned it because I want to explain why I haven't touched my GUI project in about a week now, I have had to put that work aside, and prioritise, however, this does not mean I have given up, I am using the project as a metaphorical 'Carrot on a stick', I will be able to obtain said carrot when all other responsibilities are accounted for.
Frankly I'm a little fed up with the work, and I decided to rant on about it in a block, go figure?
Thank you for reading my thoughts :-)
