I can do science me!

Ah the final week of Uni before Christmas, everyones rushing around packing, shopping and finishing work with allnighters (i hear the library is packed at the moment). Its a fun time, i mean i'm fine work wise (GOD BLESS EXTENSIONS!) but theres something thats been getting to me.

You see tomorrow is the presentation for my group work (il post about it soon), all semester me and about 16 other guys have had to think up of a game and create a tech demo, storyboards and design documents about it.

Now i say 16 guys but to be honest including me its been about 9 of us doing all the work. Many people decided not to do any work or do the smallest amount, 2 guys we've only seen once! Now seriously THIS IS FUCKING UNIVERSITY! The drop outs and bums were all in High School and maybe college, but at Uni?! On a course full of people that would kill you for a job in the industry?! On a course you pay for?! SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK!

Ok you may not be the best at coursework, but theres a difference between actually working and just lazing about. Your paying through the nose for this, and its gunna get even more expensive (thank you Tories) so why are you here fucking about doing no work, your the one thats gunna have to pay back the money!

Don't get me wrong, im not a nerd who resents people that don't get firsts. Their is the social side of uni which is pretty epic, but if you can easily get the social aspect from just getting an apartment and a job. If your at Uni just at least attempt to do some bloody work! You fought off loads of people for this spot and your just gunna waste, well fucking done!

Uni needs to be seen more as an investment, you need to put work in for it to pay off. If you don't then please get the fuck out and close the door behind you!

You kids today with your rap music and dub step!

Its nearly been a year which is scary, but people have actually started reading this and some say its not too bad which is a bit of a shock so i shall return! Not gunna promise anything rota wise, im a busy guy!

My rant today is noise, noise at night time. Now i live with two music students, they like to listen to music, which is a perfectly normal thing. Listening to it at 3am and then 7am is something totally different!

Now let me clarify, im quite a normal sleeper. I may be a little on the light side but i can easily fall asleep if there is some form of background noise, however if its that loud that i can hear the words perfectly then i have a bit of a problem. Flatmate A has to have his music loud, i don't know why he just has too. Every hour it seems until the early hours of the morning he must play at least 2 songs on the highest volume known to man, i can hear it right now and i have my headphones on! And this isn't good music. The man takes the concept of indie music to another level! If more then 5 people know about the band then he automatically hates them! Right now i can hear what sounds like Bob Dylans crappier younger brother trying to piece together some chords and sing about ye olde days. This even isnt the worse thing, for some fucked up reason Flatmate A must wail, he wails at the top of his lungs to this crap. It would make a cat clucth its ears and scream in pain!

Now obviously i've called him out on this many a time, and he will turn it down. But this is where i have a theory on music students: they cant remember anything! They have to have iTunes to tell them what they like, they need sheet music to remember what to play and they will remember nothing that you tell them the day before. You'd think being told to turn it down 5 nights on the trot and around 2 in the morning would send some form of signal to the brain to remember something!

On to Flatmate B, and this one is a bit different. Yes he likes his music, but he wears the almighty invention known as headphones! Good times i hear you cry, well your kinda right. For some reason the man himself is as loud as a walking band. Now my only theory is that he has a fetish for or can't life without the sound of bangs and thuds. He must slam every single thing that he can. His door, SLAM. His drawers, SLAM. Putting his mug down, SLAM. Even pressing the button to flush his toilet, SLAM. O and he has the most retarded laugh ever, pitty he finds anything and everything pant wettingly funny.

I dunno, i know a lot of people have problems with noisy neighbours in this world. I feel like im just moaning but hey you read it so HA! I guess my question at the end of the day is why do people find the need to be loud, even when they know others wish for them to be quiet? I don't wanna be bigheaded but i view myself as a quiet guy. I make sure im quiet when im up early or late (although why i do i don't know). Are people just that retarded or is it some kind of ear wax alien overlords deafening one half of the world's population so that the other half is driven mad with the increase in volume?!
