It has been a long time between journal entries really hasn't it.

Funny really.  I have thought many times  "I'll write a journal entry about that"  and just haven't done it.

Well I think it is about time I updated this and let people know what has been happening.  I know that everybody has been dying to find out.  *eg*

OK.

I left the cushy government job that I had and got a payout from them.  Only about $40,000 all up.  (OK to some people that is a lot [Hi Dad])

I started a job the following monday after I finished with the government.

Unfortunately it was only a casual position and it ended when the company went through financial problems.  (Hopefully when things get sorta out I will get the job back)

Then I became unemployed.   YUCK

The idea of being unemployed didn't appeal to me at all.  (Something to do with work with unemployed people for 5.5 years I think)

So I decided to invest come money and go study.

I am studying Certificate III in IT at the local TAFE college.

Here is my study timetable.
 
 

	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
AM	Study.  Well sort of. I have already done all the work.	Study and learn something new. This is an exciting day.	ALL Day off	OFF.  Study for afternoon classes	I actually study in a group this morning.  This is the best lesson
PM	Nothing.  Do whatever homework for the week	Nothing again.	Still not doing anything	Study a programming language the is easier then all the others I have taught  myself	Go to lessons to bug the teacher because I could teach better then him.  And actually act like I would want to be there.

As you can see I have it difficult.

Whilst doing all this I am teaching myself, Java (Yes I know STILL), Visual Basic and just about anything else.

I have looked at enrolling in more classes just so i can get out of the house.
