Playtest

A friend of mine recently got themselves a nice shiny new MacBook, well as shiny as a black matte finish can be in any case. Seeing how he didn’t need his old notebook any more, he kindly passed it on to me over the weekend, so thanks a bunch Alex. Its roughly twice as powerful as the crummy 5 year old desktop I have, so apart from being able to write whilst on the move, I can catch up on some of the games I’ve missed out on over the last couple of years that would have caused my poor old computer to have the digital equivalent of a nervous breakdown.

I received the results of the Course Experience Survey for my class last week at well. At first I was a bit disappointed until my coordinator assured me it was actually a decent score, but from the break down of the individual questions I think the key thing I need to work on is explaining things more effectively.

Last week was full of surprises, notably the savagely bad head cold that came out of nowhere, but they weren’t all bad. Apparently a good friend was in Melbourne during the week as well, only he promptly got sick as well and spent most of the week in bed, so apart from going for dinner on thursday, we didn’t get to catch up very much.

Another friend bought a PS3 because he was ‘bored’. Funnily enough he’s going to Queensland this week to visit family, so my housemate and I get to baby sit his PS3. My housemate is a nut for Gran Turismo, I’d wouldn’t be surprised if he took time of work to play GT5 Prologue uninterrupted!
