Thanks! I didn't think I could handle study again now with a family. It's a much different experience this time around.Congratulations! Very happy for you! Smart cookie
I suppose I don't have a reason to continue eating these salted nuts now.
You're absolutely right!Does there need to be a reason?

Awesome @Sweetgeek! Congratulations, that's so great and good to know your hard work has paid off and that you are doing the right course.
I remember result days were so nerve wracking. For my last lot of results they were dekayed a day and I stayed up most of the night refreshing the screen and i had nightmares about it all night and then kept refreshing at work all day the next to finally see that I had graduated.

"Today I ..." thought I'd let my ego check in.

Oh, and here is what went into making That guitar.

* A pre-smashed with a falchion 18 gauge round buckler / shield.
* A cowbell.
* The horn off a plastic "viking" helmet.
* A nice lump of ash tree.

* The copper wire out of a couple of metres of 7067 twin&earth electric cable.
* A Bunnings tomahawk axe.
* Three different coloured versions of "Dr Neon" luminescent strings.

* A Drill.
* An Angle Grinder.
* Some Really Rough sanding disks wot can be attached to An Angle Grinder.
* A Ball-Peen hammer.

Basic How2.
* Remove strings from brand new DethTone electric guitar and, after removing strings, detach its neck from the body and remove the machine heads.

* Repeat using edge of non-ball end of hammer.
* Put neck back on body and machine heads back on after sanding "DethTone" (along with the shiny black finish) off the head.

* Pick a suitable branch from an ash tree and lop it at / to a pleasing shape.
* Grind bark off it.
* Bolt guitar to fork in ash tree using a couple of galvanised hex heads.
* Strap it all together even more using some old belts, leather thonging, and copper wire to taste.
* Strap shield on top and add arrows.
* Grind Bunnings axe down to a more pleasing shape and grind some runes into it.
* Spray paint stuffed emu so it looks more like the kind of thing wot would report stuff to Odin.

* Strap / wire axe to Axe and belt through a couple of galvanised clouts to be sure.
* Restring Axe using three different colours of Dr Neon strings.

What kind of real world stuff did you do today?

Turn it up!
Today I have done everything except what I should be doing. Applying for jobs. I've looked at a zillion cat gifs. Watched cinnamon challenges on youtube. Watched screaming goats on youtube and generally been totes lazy.
I really need a job. I'm so unmotivated when I don't have a routine.

ohhhhhh you know real stuff like cleaning furniture, walking the dog, and dinner (i know that part is real cos i aint hungry no more)
What sort of work are you looking for? Being unemployed is the worst.

What kind of job are you interested in? You can still have a routine without having a job. Make looking for a job your job.

Ok then, I thought you might of done something to help your future.

I am kind of different to you in that I can have spurts of motivation. But i really don't need a routine for that motivation to come into being.[DOUBLEPOST=1446120395][/DOUBLEPOST]
I really don't think about my future. Like I have said before I rarely think three hours ahead.

My contract has just finished from my previous job.. Project Administrator... as the whole project finished. I was working sometimes 12 hour days for the last 6 months so i'm happy to have a bit of a breather but ya know.. there's just that part of me that's like "OMG GET A JOB GET A JOB!!!" I know i'll get a job, no probs there, but i'm just feeling really lazy at the moment. Like an unpaid holiday kind of thing. Job applications are such a PITA but yes.. I know I have to make looking for a job my job but i'm kinda dragging my heels a bit.
I'm annoying as all hell.

I have spurts of motivation but i'm too easily distracted. OMG look at this on the internet!!
If i'm not locked into something I have the attention span of a gnat. Yet I thrive on stress and productivity in my working life. I like to be busy but I don't make myself busy in my not working life if I don't have to be....

Hey if you feel you need a break, this could be a time for you to relax... Maybe make looking for a job your part time job.
Columbo

Ha ha yes the internet can be very distracting. The only time when I can really focus is when I am writing or reading. Because i love to speed read.

Do you think you will ever be able to function as an adult, say with a job, bills and a house to look after?
