It has been 11 days since my last post, well 11 makes me feel better, when it has actually been 38 days since I have posted something useful. Quite a few interesting things to report over the last few weeks actually. Firstly I got got deferred from the Mountbatten NY Internship program, until March 2010, so we will see what happens nearer the time, on what it is I wish to do. 

Secondly, my Final Major Project is due on May 1st, so not long to go, and lots of work to do. This is then followed by a Professional Self Evaluation unit in on May 8th and then I am flying out to New York on May 10th for a few weeks to try to find some work and put things into my own hands.

I guess one thing that I wanted to comment on was the amount of shootings and homicides that have been happening in America lately. It seems that everytime I log into my iMac and check my 'Google US news bookmark' somebody has been shot somewhere. There were 391 cases of homicides in the US in 2007, thats over 1 a day, no wonder it is always in the news. 

I will attempt to post some more interesting stories on my next entry. One being the purchase of a packet of Reeses Pieces form Morrisons the day before last, for a mere 29p. Only to find that you only get an average of 8 per packet, and they are the size of Jelly tots.
