Update

I fell that I have been somewhat neglecting this blog somewhat, so I plan on doing a weekly update on a Sunday if I can, or the Monday if not.

But anyway, first things first. I have began to Vlog! So yes, if you enjoy reading my blogs then it might be worth heading over to: http://youtube.com/KaosVlog and subscribing. Not a lot on there at the moment but I intend to fill it with many a shenanigan.

Now that's now out the way, I can start with the actual blog. Lately, I haven't really been sleeping that well. It's not affecting me too badly, like I do have energy and stuff during the days but I keep having these "Half-Dreams" where I am actually awake but still think I am asleep so keep myself awake because of that. It's annoying and I kind of want it to stop. Does anybody have any tips on sleeping well or anything? Would appreciate it if you did!

Work has been okay. I am still in training and still working in Paddington at the moment but it has only recently sunk in that this is it. This is my life now. Yes, fair enough I don't have to be there but if I want to have a successful career, then this is my life from now on. I have to get up at 7. Leave at 7:30. Get to work at 8:30 - 9 and remain there till 5. I think it's just the sudden change, you know? I have been such a lazy bastard for so long as a student, laying around doing nothing but work on the odd occasion that having this full-time job which I am slowly learning is becoming harder by the minute, it's a real shock to the system.

But yeah, I keep learning all this new work that I will need to be doing. Not only do I have my "normal day job" but I also have the work for PDS, the people who run my apprenticeship, to do as well as the work I have to do for my degree (uni work). I mean, I knew that it was not going to be a walk over when I started but I didn't think it would be this much. It's not exactly not manageable but it's just a shock, like I said earlier.

Anyway, moving on! Two weekends ago I went down for another YouTube meet up in Somerset and this is where my vlogging experience began. It was to meet up with Sara Parker, Nathan Wills and a handful of other YouTubers. Here is my video of it:

I apologise for the amateur nature of it. It was my first one. Was a lot of fun and a great day!

I also last weekend went to the 84th GameOn LAN and was one of the best LANs I have been to so far. I did make a video for this but it is more game footage than anything. You can find it here:

 

Was also, a really great weekend and a break from work.

This week, I got sent to Milton Keynes by work (yeah yeah, I realise the irony of the situation when I was bitching about how much work I had to do) to visit the Open University. I may or may not be doing a vlog about this, I do have some footage but yeah, not sure. We were put up in The Hilton Hotel next to the uni and let me tell you, it was lush! Such a nice room :D.

But anyway, I apologise for the long blog but like I said, I hope to be doing more regular blogs from now on!

Starting to sink in & The Meet

So I've been at work now for just over a month and it really is starting to hit me that this is it. Up everyday at 7am. Work until 5ish. Come home around 6:30 - 7. This is it. Due to this past month, it has really helped me appreciate my weekends a lot better, but sadly I still am not doing much with my time!

Although, saying that I did go to London last Saturday and meet a BUNCH of amazing people including: Cory Williams, Kate Elliot, Sara Parker, Nathan Wills and a bunch of other YouTubers and non-Youtubers alike at a meet up for Cory & Kate as they have come over from America.

The start of the meet

Sara Parker

Was a truly amazing day and met some amazing people.

I haven't really been doing a lot lately though apart from that, although I did make a poster inspired by The Hunger Games which I will be sending out to Kate (One of the YouTubers).
I would link it in but apparently, it's huge and will not be accepted by the server.. Hmm.. Ah well, I will attempt to get it into another blog post.

So yeah, there really isn't a lot to be said at the moment sadly, although I have decided to invest in a new camera when I get my first pay check which should be nice. Oh, and I am off to Somerset on Saturday for ANOTHER YouTube meet up with Sara and Nathan (and about two dozen others I believe!). Can't wait :3.

Commuting, Reinstalling and Revision

Not really been doing a lot at work so far other than learning the basics of how Visa operates so there really isn't that much to talk about on that front just yet. Just been doing a lot of commuting which I am starting to get use to and not mind that much. I find that it gives me a chance to wake up.

Where I previously worked as a Lifeguard, it was a five minute walk from my house so I would get up 10 minutes before I had to be there. Sure, that sounds great but I would just be knackered when I got into work! It really wasn't a good thing. But this, it takes me a good hour or so to get to work each day so just gives me time to get myself in order. I prefer going to Paddington or Basingstoke rather than Reading though. The train to Reading is just one train for an hour and get's very boring and makes me very tired (even when I am reading) whilst the other two are two trains at about half an hour each (Basingstoke is more like half hour, forty-five minutes).

I am currently reinstalling Windows as when I first built my computer I stupidly put Windows 32bit on it. Such a bad move. Anyway, I bought a new 2TB hard drive along with an official (upgrade) 64 bit Windows 7. First piece of software that isn't a game that I have ever bought I think. But yeah, I am doing all of this now as I have the GameOn LAN coming up in just over two weeks which I can't wait for!

Along with that, this Saturday I am heading into London, rain or shine to a YouTube meet. Now a lot of people may look down at this but I think that a lot of YouTubers are the most down to earth "celebrities" you can come across. So I am going up to meet SMPFilms (DudeLikeHELLA) and Katers17 (Katersoneseven) and I can't wait!

I got my exam on Wednesday also which I need to get 80% in so will probably drop another blog in on Wednesday evening as it will be a load of my mind!
