Keeping promises

I have managed uber fail on both New Year’s resolutions I made (and wrote about on my only other blog post for this year). I said I would update my blog more often but haven’t written any since my 1st post of the year. After having a Phd application rejected after an interview in February and then doing nothing but looking for jobs + internships, I felt I had not much to write about apart from a huge whinge-fest.

On the ‘finishing games I have bought’ promise, I have done slightly better (which I could have written about earlier but I failed). I have finished Dragon Age:Origins, but still haven’t finished Batman or Torchlight. At least the latest Steam Sale didn’t result in the mass purchasing of the christmas sale (as I’d already bought all the games I wanted then). Dragon:Age I found to be addictive in the sense that I’ve finished it with a dwarf commoner character and yet I still have gone back and started over with a second character to see what the effect of different choices makes on the story line. I also found Claudia Black another reason to play through again as her character (Morrigan) makes me laugh at her comebacks and taunts.

Though I’ve now got less time to get on with working through my games list as I’m doing an internship in Cambridge. Last week was my first week and so far it seems to be good. I spend it doing a lot of reading and cataloging chemicals. Today I turned into a tourist and spend a few hours wandering around Cambridge photoing various buildings. Time to for a geeky activity to restore the balance……
