Yes it is the time of the year where their seems to be a collaboration of strong emotions from various individuals. What I mean by this, is when going out, or anything, you will find that the people you come in contact with will either be strongly seasonal, cheery and happy. Then there is the opposite which is annoyed, grumpy and rude.
What makes a good blog post? and what do you all like to read from my posts? that is what the questions are that are rumbling around my head, like 2 soft balls in a bowl. Well as far as I am aware, the rants and the inclusions of people in my rants is what people want to hear, or thats what I think. I would like to halt my rants for a moment, and just quickly state to you, if you have not met me, I am not as miserable as I sound on here. Probably the opposite, I guess it's because I leave the ranting to my posts instead of in person.
Whats going on James?
Well, to tell the truth reader, other than what you have just read, and what you are reading now, there is not much news to state from my end that includes work or University work. As stated in one of my previous posts, I am at the stage of University where I am soaking my brain in entertainment and putting my head at ease for a couple of days, and to not think about work. So there is not much to report, so this blog post is going to be my giant christmas and new year message to all that I can think of in my head right now, so lets begin:
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO:

Satisfaction & Stress
Acknowledgment is a wonderful thing. When I post, I don't really know who reads it, I sometimes feel as if I am talking to nobody, but when knowing that some people actually read it, I feel good. These people have acknowledged to me that they have read it. So I would like to type whom so far I know definitely has acknowledged my posts.

Satisfaction & Stress. The two are very different emotions. I am finally feeling satisfied. A good and hard week for me. Typing this out.... it's so easy. You see, in my university work I have been busy typing up a lot of paperwork which I will recap to you.
I have finished:
1,000 word Annotated Bibliography
2,000 word Media Law Assignment
1,000 word Radio Production Evaluation
As typed in the previous blog post, looking and thinking deeply back to where I was and what I was doing a week ago (ish), I must admit I have pressed on with work. I am proud, but I am tired. I feel like a very slight weight is being placed above both eye lids. My shoulders, feel drained of blood and energy. My feet and legs, feel worn. My brain, most of all, feels tired.
Satisfaction.
I am feeling satisfied, to look upon the work and knowing that it is done, it has been checked and proof read, its been printed and its hand in forms have already been completed. All to do now, just go hand it in. If you have ever gone to hand some work in, have you ever looked around at others that are there to hand in work? there is a general sense of satisfaction and relief. You can see it on everyones faces. When thinking about the strains of essays, I mentally compare it as going through a physical test. Im sure the feeling of satisfaction after it is finished are the same.
Stress.
I am not really feeling stressed in all honesty. This section of the post is to do with work. If any of you have a job and have to work for the build up for christmas, you will know how I feel about it. Its tough, I look around and not many people are in the cheery christmas spirit, they are more stressed out because everyone else seems to be going out to get christmas stuff round about the same time as they have done. So when you have to deal with these types of people, you find that they are not very nice to you, this isnt the point though. The point is, you will find that it is not just one person. It is the majority. If you are reading this and you do not have job then god love you.

Close Your Eyes, And Everything Is Slower
That is the best description as to what I am feeling about my situation right now. I close my eyes, and when I think deeply about approximately everything, it does feel like it is a slow left to right pan of events and memories depicted in still pictures. So many things to do and so many things to think about, I do feel like my head gets bigger sometimes when it has to remember more things.
This week has been particularly busy. I have been powering on with University work that I can best describe as like me attempting to run a treadmill whilst tied to weights on each leg. It feels like a big mental block/object that takes up a lot of my head. Once completed, I will be able to remove this block and my head will feel lighter, and I will be able to soak it in entertainment, Im sure this is felt the same for most students.
I won't lie, University work has been colourful, challenging, but none the less, educational and enjoyable. If you are reading this and you are on the same course as me, or just taking the same modules as me, Im sure you must think that is a bit geeky of me, which I admit, it kind of does sound like that.
I state this fact because I often reflect on what I was and what I could of been if not deciding to pursue going to University. It scares me in honesty.
So reader, this is what apart from that, there has been other events for me that have happened in this week. As Im deeply thinking about the occurrences of this week, I think I am going to finish off what I want to type about University. The only real practical work that has been accomplished for the autumn semester has been Radio Production, which strikes me as a bit odd, seemingly because my course is labelled 'Media Production'. James Chew, Marcus Bonnick and myself have also been what I like to label in person 'beastin'' out on the practical work. Three well lit sparks pool together to make one unified beam of natural creative sparked light. That, is, us three, as a group, in a descriptive sentence.
Enough of University. This week for me, I embarked on a small road quest to collect, and deliver a puppy to the Kwak family. This envolved me driving to Dronfield.....(I think that 's what it's called), then driving to Rugby, and then back to Derby. Upon being handed this quest from Queen Kwak, I, Knight Jimmy Chang, requested help for this task. So I managed to find Supreme Commander Kenneth to aid in navigation, and Abi came too. All in all, we missed a couple of junctions, went the wrong way about three times, but.... We managed to see, Chesterfield, Dronfield and Rugby. Not much to report unfortunately, apart from the wonky church in Chesterfield in which the religious reason for being like that was because the devil was messing about on the top and broke it (Basically).
"How's Work?"
A lot of people ask me this question you know, and to be honest I give out the same answer, mainly because I don't want to go into detail with what I really want to tell. With working with the public, comes stupid questions, you would really think that I wouldn't get many, but indeed I do.
Two women come into the front door, show their card, and the woman turns and asks me this:
"Excuse me, what time does this bit *points finger to shop floor* close?"
"8:30"
"Okay, and what time does this place shut?"
"........8:30"
It's probably the single most humorous events that happen when working with the public. Humorous, and yet annoying how people can ask stupid questions. I am sure at some points of reading my posts, if you are an avid reader that is, that I rarely post anything negative about work, I am more merely fed up with it. I study media law, and knowing now about slandering about corporations can get you in trouble, I will not go into detail. But I will tell you this. 90% of my job, is negative. What I post up here is the remaining 10% of the positive of my work. Just a little something for you readers to be thinking about.
I know what your thinking, 'well at least he's got a job' right? true, I am thankful to have a job, but the more I work there, and the longer I stay there, I begin to wonder if it's worth it.
