ProEngineer is rubbish in the strongest sense of the word. I have been sat in front of that friggin' computer all day and still the result is 'nil point'; that means it's even worse than Germany's 2005 entry in Eurovision.

To make things duller, the weather is nasty and that list of things I was moaning about yesterday is still being moaned at. Following a disastrous start this morning (my alarm clock failed to go off leaving me three hours behind schedule), I managed to miss Flash's trial run out on Beacon Hill and have yet to receive any more cheques which means I'm knocking on doors tonight (Yes, me. Do I look like a bailiff?).

But that's my rant over and done with. No more negativity in the blog tonight. I am going to convince myself that I am in a positive mood and can achieve anything - including the degree show bits and wading through six foot of post-it notes - fun. Ok, I tried and failed. You are just going to have to cope with cynicism of Malthusian proportions.

The strangest thing for me at the moment is that I'm caught in limbo between reality and something else. It doesn't feel like all these exams and things are around the corner, but I know they are. The worst thing is the 'something else', as I'm not entirely sure what it is. Have I forgot to do something? Is it just the disbelief that in a couple of weeks the Towers Era is going to be over? Maybe I'm just going mad slowly, provoked by all that CAD I'm failing at. Answers on a postcard please.

Right, back to the rockface.
