11. Complete all Assignments in Each Module

91. Buy New Laptop
Part 1 : Ordering and arrival
Completed 25th February 2010
Ordered my spanking new laptop on the 11th of February, through Dell.ie.
Order was confirmed on the 17th, invoiced on the 23rd and arrived on the 25th.
Part 2 : Personalization
Completed 27th February 2010
Spent the last few days Who-ifying it! Icons, sounds, cursors, screensaver, desktop background.
Programs were the next step – AVG, Firefox, Thunderbird, R, Dev c++, Open Office, VLC. Firefox add-ons.
Love Windows 7 and it’s features. Snapping, shaking, show desktop. Gadgets. Dell dock. My Blog.

7. Submit IRCSET application
Part 1 : Submit my forms
Completed 00:30 10 February 2010
After about a month of stressing over making my personal statement perfect, and finishing off my project proposal, not to mention the several hours trying to get information from the Records Office about class rankings, finally submitted the forms after midnight on the day it was due! Thankfully it went into before any potential system crashes. Also managed to find myself a couple of good referees :)
Part 2 : Ensure supervisor and referees submit forms
Completed 14:30 24 February 2010
One referee was fantabulous and filled in their part a couple of days after they were notified. However, the other two left it right up to the last minute and caused me much paranoia and panic in the last two days. But now it’s all done and done, and just need to wait for the results :D
Part 3 : The Results

Afraid I was completely unsuccessful in this. I scored 69 out of a possible 100, the minimum mark needed was 80!

101 Things in 1001 Days
Well, it's official, I've been inspired, by my bestest buddy, http://queevs.tumblr.com/ , who was brought on to the idea by a friend of hers, and I hope I inspire one person to also try this.
The idea comes from http://dayzeroproject.com/ , and is that you make a list of 101 things you'd like to achieve for yourself, doesn't have to be crazy or drastic, can be as simple as you like, and you try to get it done within 1001 days (that's 2 years, 38 weeks and 5 days!). But, this is not, as I've been reminded just today, a make it or break it situation. You're free to play around with things, change the unachievable, work with what you have. :)
My list will follow in the next post, categorised nicely, where it can be edited regularly :D
I'm excited.
Expected finish date : Friday, November 16, 2012
