I finished my Open Uni the other week. Huzzah! As I was leading up to the deadline I was getting very restless and keen to get on with other things, but now the deadline has passed I've fallen into a bit of a slump.
Things on my to do list at the moment at:
- Wastelands.
- Learning Swedish.
- Applying my new programming skills.
- Fitness.
- Job/career progression.
Lets look at these one at a time.
Wastelands. Despite my current mental slump this is on my mind nearly constantly. The rules are going to go through another revision and I hope to build momentum again and try to inspire my friends to get involved once again.
Learning Swedish. This isn't too bothersome. Rosetta Stone is a very easy to pick up program and easily facilitates 10 minute lessons, which are great to fit in between things or when I get a random impulse.
Applying new programming skills. Having just come to the end of a IT module about Java programming, I feel I have knowledge which, if I can spend some time on it, will allow me to start making little games and pissing about with different ideas.
Fitness. This is very important, as it definitely has a big impact on everything else. The old cliché of "healthy body, healthy mind", is very true. I went for my first proper jog last week in over a year, at first I thought it had gone fine, but for the next few days I was nursing a very sore knee. Still a little way to go before I can really get back on top of this, which means I find myself lacking energy and enthusiasm.
Job/career. To make my Open Uni worthwhile I need to start trying to find IT jobs. I question myself sometimes, wondering whether it's what I actually want to do, but I just can't think of anything else and as I'm studying IT and computing, what else should I do?

I realise this isn't a very interesting post with not much to do with gaming. Sorry.
