Lucky On The Second Try. The Time The Time Won't Pass Me By

Devil has updated his blog now. Finally.

Yeah...I know it's been a little while since I've updated my blog but I've been busy. Yeah...I know, I'm always busy but guess what...that's the life of a Devil's Advocate.

Now...because so much time has lapsed since my last blog post, I'm gonna spare everyone the hassle of having to read too much and just post points of the major events that have occurred.

So...here we go:
  • I've revised my target goals for the year and I'm hoping that by the end of the year I'll have a weight of 60kg with a body fat of 6%. It's going to be an interesting journey to get there...but I think I can do it if I stay dedicated enough and have the right people around me (and I know I do).
  • Work has been starting to piss me off more and more and my short temper and bad attitude is making more and more of a regular appearance. Having said that though...it's not all necessarily a bad thing. I mean, tell me...in what other job could your boss' boss come in and ask you to do something...and you tell them to "fuck off"? I can't think of any where you could do that...and STILL be held in high regard.
  • And on that note, all the researchers from the satellite offices were all called together with the researchers from The Centre for a information / training session...and once again, yours truly was the standout amongst them all. The training session required the presentation of some work that was done in the groups. Some groups panicked about what they were going to say and how they were going to say it. The group I was in also started to panic...but when I told them that I would take care of the presentation they relaxed a little bit...until it came time to actually give the presentation and they realised that I hadn't actually written anything down. The look of panic on their faces was QUITE amusing and admittedly I had to try to stop myself from laughing when they realised I was giving a presentation on-the-fly. What can I say...all I was doing was holding myself to my reputation of being slightly odd and eccentric, a risk taker, a quick thinker...and that I love an audience. All in all though....when I wouldn't be lying if I said that my presentation was one of the best.
  • Today we had a test at the university for my photography class. I haven't really had the time to study too much...so I was only able to revise for about an hour or so...in total. The first time I actually opened the book that we were supposed to be reading throughout the semester was last night while I was studying cramming. As it turns out, I scored 27 out of a possible 30. Not bad considering that the only real preparation that I did for the test was to find a pen and bring it to class (yeah...I have a habit of not even bringing a pen to class or taking any notes).
  • The photos that I've submitted for my assignments have gained a bit of a 'reputation' with my lecturer. My style of photography is somewhat "observational" and although the structure and composition is good, I seem to be lacking in the ability to "relate" with the subject / subject matter and convey a clear meaning. It's given me some grief and as one of the girls so bluntly put it: "Just get over it and do it, you'll surprise yourself.
Anyway...that's all I've really got time for right now. I've got an assignment that I need to do...and another weekend to prepare for. Hopefully, I should be back to regular posting. Not that anyone actually reads this anyway.
