my new vice is a product called nasal snuff. not be confused with moist snuff which is used in the mouth and banned in most of europe.

nasal snuff is a fine tobacco dust, thats the ebst way to describe it. it comes in 100s of different 'flavours'. the idea is you take a pinch from the tin and sniff it up each nostril.

now i admit it, hands up I FUCKING LOVE NICOTINE. with a decent cup of tea im off my tits for a good 15 minutes. problem is - i dont like smoking. amongst other things it does cause lung disease.

english nasal snuff currently, if used corretly, is not linked to any disease. the lancet reported that it could be one of the biggest life savers of the 21st century in developed countries. obviously because smoking is the biggest curable killer known to man. snuff gives you nicotine quickly in a way which is 95% safer than smoking. there is obviously the effect on the heart which is equivalent to drinking strong coffee all day everyday.

add to all that it only costs 1.50 for an amount equivalent to 100 fags and its legal to use in public buildings (theres no smoke you see).

ive got 9 flavours so far and ive just cracked open a spearmint affair which is gorgeous and its kicking my arse!

if youre a smoker, try this. its waaaaayyy more enjoyable.

my pc went tits up this morning. the hdd has been going whacky for a few months and gradually programs stopped functioning correctly.
today i just got blue screen all the time, and it took progressivley longer for it to turn on. id press power and 10 mins later it switched on.

no idea what it is to be honest, seems odd. maybe a multiple fuck up of components?

i bought a laptop anyway and use it alongside my 22" monitor. totally converted. it does everything i want it to and quickly. also upgraded to wireless and found the old router was shagged. it had been halfing the speed of the internet for the past 4 years or something. now were getting a full 10mbit!

i started today. its written in my diary so ive got to do it. still a month to go untill uni though, and i read a plan that reckons you can do it in 14 weeks with 16 hours a week working on it!

how the fuck do i fit in 16 hours a week around
lectures
other coursework
extra curricular life

i was hoping to join the martial arts thing this year to but how am i supposed to fit it?

im currently going to do 1-2 hours a day reading up on literature, hopefully my dissertation will be ethically approved by then and i can get a meeting with my supervisor.

anyone got any tips? time management in general would be helpful since i know jack shit about it. ive got a diary as i said and i WILL do whats written in it. my time working a shit job has made me realise this year i need to pull some special magic out the bag and do well. i dont want to end up in somewhere like that again.
