*Apologies*

I apologise for my lack of blog postage and update-age... Updateage? Is that even a word? No, according to M$ Word, it is not.

Let me be frank - I've been busy lately. With school, relaxing after school, some study, and now it's about to get worse.

I have an exam later this week - 30 multiple choice questions. How kick ass is that for a mid-term exam? Pretty kick ass ay? I thought so. But I still have 6 weeks of dealies to cover, so I can't really take it lightly. I want to do well this semester, really well. So that means my extra-curricular study has had to suffer. Yeah that's right little man (or woman, as it may be), I've had to stop with Windows and DirectX programming for the moment in favour of University work. Don't hate me.

What little spare time I've had has been spent chatting to my loving girlfriend who starts back at university soon, meaning we'll have less time to talk, meaning I want to talk to her as much as I can now without impacting negatively on my studies. I hate it when people use school as an excuse not to be with someone. It's like "I can't be with you because I have to focus on studies," which should, in turn, become "I can't be with you because of work, " before transforming into "I'm 80 years old and need to tend to the garden, I'm sorry." I will not go any further into this.

Again, I apologise for my lack of updating and keeping you posted on the happenings and goings-on in my programming life. For the moment it can't be helped. I need you to bear with me!

Now for a slight future note :: As I'm going to be working during the summer holidays, I intend to save up for a few things. A DS is a must have, coupled with some games, enough cash to pay for my fees / textbooks next year, and then the rest gets saved for my trip to Canada. ALSO on my list of things to get is a domain thinger, webspace, whatever it's called... A place to have my site on the web, and not having to worry about silly advertising headers, expiry conditions, and small bandwidth limitations. It'll extend to encompass my personal blog (which I shall reveal when I get a new layout done for it), the C.O.P. Studioz blog (and maybe a website), as well as this RufiGAMING blog /note.

I've gone fairly off-topic, covered things slightly out of the area of programming and games, and possibly even bored you. Just a little bit.

Thank you for bearing with me, IF you do in fact bear with me. If you don't then I have no thanks for you. THAT'S RIGHT! NO THANKS! So bear with me if you want thanks.

I'm out.
