Today I learnt that all coursework must be done when it is set, not a few days before the due date, because then it might actually get finished on time.

went for a walk to look around Holton yesterday, it is sooo gorgeous around there. Found a really sweet church called saint Bartholomews it is quite small, reminded me of a church I looked around with some peeps. Their services are at 11am on sundays, so will go next week.

Today i tidyed up my room a bit, and went shopping. In Faith they had some really comfy jelly flip flops for £8 and they were pink! I think I have enough summer shoes now.

The people on my floor have just gone out clubbing, and I just know that they will come back at 2am and keep everyone awake for at least 2 hours, so I wont get any sleep

I have done a few of the online MBTI tests (before you say it, I know I shouldn’t trust online tests, but anyway). The general consensus was that I am an ISFJ. Looking at some of the descriptions it sounds just like me!

(From http://www.personalitypage.com/ISFJ.html)
As an ISFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you takes things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system.
ISFJs live in a world that is concrete and kind. They are truly warm and kind-hearted, and want to believe the best of people. They value harmony and cooperation, and are likely to be very sensitive to other people’s feelings. People value the ISFJ for their consideration and awareness, and their ability to bring out the best in others by their firm desire to believe the best.
ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. They constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems. It would not be uncommon for the ISFJ to remember a particular facial expression or conversation in precise detail years after the event occured, if the situation made an impression on the ISFJ.
ISFJs have a very clear idea of the way things should be, which they strive to attain. They value security and kindness, and respect traditions and laws. They tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they’re not likely to buy into doing things in a new way, unless they’re shown in a concrete way why its better than the established method.
ISFJs learn best by doing, rather than by reading about something in a book, or applying theory. For this reason, they are not likely to be found in fields which require a lot of conceptual analysis or theory. They value practical application. Traditional methods of higher education, which require a lot of theorizing and abstraction, are likely to be a chore for the ISFJ. The ISFJ learns a task best by being shown its practical application. Once the task is learned, and its practical importance is understood, the ISFJ will faithfully and tirelessly carry through the task to completion. The ISFJ is extremely dependable.
The ISFJ has an extremely well-developed sense of space, function, and aesthetic appeal. For that reason, they’re likely to have beautifully furnished, functional homes. They make extremely good interior decorators. This special ability, combined with their sensitivity to other’s feelings and desires, makes them very likely to be great gift-givers - finding the right gift which will be truly appreciated by the recipient.
More so than other types, ISFJs are extremely aware of their own internal feelings, as well as other people’s feelings. They do not usually express their own feelings, keeping things inside. If they are negative feelings, they may build up inside the ISFJ until they turn into firm judgments against individuals which are difficult to unseed, once set. Many ISFJs learn to express themselves, and find outlets for their powerful emotions.
Just as the ISFJ is not likely to express their feelings, they are also not likely to let on that they know how others are feeling. However, they will speak up when they feel another individual really needs help, and in such cases they can truly help others become aware of their feelings.
The ISFJ feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. They take their responsibilities very seriously, and can be counted on to follow through. For this reason, people naturally tend to rely on them. The ISFJ has a difficult time saying “no” when asked to do something, and may become over-burdened. In such cases, the ISFJ does not usually express their difficulties to others, because they intensely dislike conflict, and because they tend to place other people’s needs over their own. The ISFJ needs to learn to identify, value, and express their own needs, if they wish to avoid becoming over-worked and taken for granted.
ISFJs need positive feedback from others. In the absence of positive feedback, or in the face of criticism, the ISFJ gets discouraged, and may even become depressed. When down on themselves or under great stress, the ISFJ begins to imagine all of the things that might go critically wrong in their life. They have strong feelings of inadequacy, and become convinced that “everything is all wrong”, or “I can’t do anything right”.
The ISFJ is warm, generous, and dependable. They have many special gifts to offer, in their sensitivity to others, and their strong ability to keep things running smoothly. They need to remember to not be overly critical of themselves, and to give themselves some of the warmth and love which they freely dispense to others.

This is quite cool really

Anyway, battery is getting low so i have to go.

Did more Objective C yesterday. It is a wonderful language, but I can imagine that it may take a while to get used to the differences between it and plain C. I have written a very basic movie player in Objective C AND IT WORKS!!!! I rock!

w00 - only one room left in my house! Will go and sign my contract this afternoon and pay my £200 to get my room!

last Thursday (22nd) Dani took me out to celebrate us being together for 6th months! We went to the Pink Giraffe which is a really nice Chinese restraunt in Oxford, then we went to see Hot Fuzz at the Odeon. That is a very good film, but I found it a bit scary!

Tonight I am meant to be going out to a birthday thing, I think we are going on a bit of a pub crawl. Sounds really good but I dont know when we are meeting or how I am going to get back to Wheatley!

got to go and have a shower now, ttfn

I found tis on facebook and wanted to share it with you all - it is sooooo true!

YOU KNOW YOU’VE BEEN IN UNIVERSITY TOO LONG WHEN…

You actually like doing laundry at home where the washing
machines work.

Two miles is not too far to walk for a party.

You’d rather clean than study especially if an essay is due.

“Oh shit how did it get so late!” comes out of your mouth at
least once a night.

Parents’ cooking becomes something you desire, not avoid.

You schedule your classes around sleep habits and soap operas
especially neighbours and Hollyoaks.

You know the pizza boy by name and don’t even need to read the
menu.

You go to sleep when it’s light and get up when it’s dark.

You live for getting mail.

Looking out the window is a form of entertainment.

Prank phone calls become funny again.

You start thinking and sounding like your friends and your
accent becomes a hybrid of West Country, Surrey and general
Northern.

Highlighters are the coolest things on earth.

Rearranging your room is your favourite pastime.

Rubbish cheap £1 shops are so cool.

The weekend lasts from Thursday to Monday.

BEFORE I CAME TO UNIVERSITY, I WISH I HAD KNOWN…

That it didn’t matter how late my first lecture was, I’d still sleep
through it.

That I could change so much and barely realize it.

That you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.

No matter how ‘cool’ you were in school, no one here cares.

That if you wear polyester everyone will ask why you are so
dressed up.

That every clock on campus shows a different time.

That if you got good a-levels, so what? It doesn’t matter here.

That I would go to a party the night before an exam or essay
due-date.

That you can know everything and fail a test.

That you can know nothing and ace a test.

That I could get used to almost anything found out about my
friends.

That most of my education would be obtained outside of lectures.

That friendship is more than getting drunk together but that’s
still funny……!

That Sunday is a figment of the world’s imagination.

That Psychology is really Biology, that Biology is really
Chemistry, that Chemistry is really Physics and that Physics is
really Maths.

That my parents would become so much smarter in the last few
years.

That it’s possible to be alone even when you are surrounded by
friends.

Don’t be dismayed at good-byes, a farewell is necessary before
we can meet again, and meeting again, after moments or a
lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.

Off to london at 7:30 tomorrow! Have to get the first bus to Headington and then get the Oxford Tube to Victoria. I will be staying with Dan’s family in Erith again, so will be able to go to Bluewater and go to the bonsai shop there.
