Computing coursework

Oh my Spirit I hate the damn subject.
It really anoys me when i do not have enough time to live and do coursework as well.

I have to write a program for D and D that works out what and how a weapon would work on the system.
God Damn i will never get it done on time and I hate that

The damn problem is the fact that I dont know how to program at all
I also have other work that needs to be handed in.
This means i have even less time

SCCCREEEAAAMMMMM!!!!!!!!

The book of the Samurai (Hagakure)

The version that I bought was one of many different interpretations of the book.
This current book has 300 of the originals 1500 Quotes. It also has some other information that is quite useful and helps to put the book into context.
I have decided to try and remember some of the Quotes. This is so that I have something to focus on when I am bored. I have also found since reading some of the quotes that I have become calmer and more relaxed. I don't know whether this is to do with a different look on life or what.
As I mentioned earlier in my blog some of the quotes are unusual and here are a few just to ponder over:

In China there was once a man who liked pictures of dragons, and his clothing and furnishings were all designed accordingly. His deep affection for Dragons was brought to the attention of a Dragon God, and one day a real dragon appeared before his window. It is said that he died from fright, He was probably a man who always spoke of big words but acted differently when facing the real thing. (p38)

You cannot tell whether a person is good or bad by his vissitudes in life. Good and bad fortune are matters of fate. Good and bad actions are a Man's Way. Retribution of good and evil is taught simply as a normal lesson.
(p43)

A faultless person is one who withdraws from affairs. This must be done with strength. (p67)

Bravery and cowardice are not things that can be conjected in times of peace. They are in different catgories. (p77)

If you cut your face legthwise, urinate in it and trample on it with straw sandles, it is said that the skin will come off. This was heard by the preist Gyojaku when he was in Kyoto. It is information to be treasured. (p141)

So as you can see the information varies and is sometimes silly but the best way to find out is to read it.
I found it in Waterstones (shop) in sport (I thought it would be under philosophy). It is only £6.99 so go out and get it!

To Ride or Drive

This is a very important subject for me

I don't know whether to learn to drive or to learn how to ride a bike.
I have a feeling that my parents would prefer the first but stuff them I want to be able to ride down the coast road on my bike and enjoy life with the wind in my hair.
First step to independence is to learn how to escape the confines of ones incarceration.
Freedom could be mine. I am so bored I cannot find anything to do and I cannot seem to find any motivation. I spend most of my time doing nothing but relaxing sleeping and doing homework. This is not the life for a person in his teens. I want to do something interesting.
I would personally prefer to ride but the drawbacks are numerous and are as follows
> No luggage space
> Open to all weathers
> Not as safe (when tools are involved)
> No room for more than 1 passenger

Spirit damn it
Why cant everything be easy

Concerning College

I hate macmillan college they are so bloody pampering
I hate being pampered
The schools bloody computers will not allow you to go on any website that contains certain keywords
e.g. Games, ANY profanity
This means that when I am bored I have to bloody amuse myself by reading or doing blooming homework. I hate homework
All I can say is that in 4 months time I will no longer be a student but a free man
This is when I hope to start to get a job and learn to drive or Ride (see another blog). I need money not much just more than the £10 EMA money I get for staying in college

Oh to the days when I will be free to not have to get up at 6:45 and also not have to wear the worst suit ever. I hate wearing suits.
