Everytime

Here be Stacey, myself and Lisa in Birmingham, on Wednesday. I caught the train to meet them (along with Mark and Dan) and we spent the day looking round the shops and drinking in Starbucks. I had a nice time, its always good to spend time with Lisa. She’s also invited me to go camping with her in August, which I’m truthfully quite worried about…I don’t know the other people who are going. Well, two of them I know, but not very well. I’m not a very sociable person, I actually like being alone a lot of the time. I guess I’ll just have to get deliriously drunk and hope for the best.

I got my final grades this week:

A — Creative Practice 3
A- — Short Stories
B+ — Focus 3: Responsibility
B- — Independent Study

I’m really happy about this. I tried calculating my degree classification, but honestly, it was a bit confusing. I’m pretty sure I have a 2:1, which suits me fine. Tom reckons I might just scrape a first…that would be beyond amazing. I doubt its gonna happen, but there’s no harm in hoping. I assume we’ll get official letters from the uni at some point, hopefully they won’t take all day about that. In other uni related news, I need to pay off my library fine, or I can’t graduate. My fine is 40p and I have no fucking clue where it came from. I’ve never been late taking back a book! I’m going to barge in on Monday, waving my student card, demanding explanation. I probably will cough up the 40p, but it will be a reluctant payment. If they have a complaints/suggestions card, I will probably fill it in using ANGRY CAPITAL LETTERS.

There isn’t much else to report on…I’ve started the re-drafting process for Chronicles of Nom. Joe said he’d read over the new prologue for me, but I haven’t heard anything yet, so who knows if I’ll actually get some feedback on it. I also had a good shot at re-writing the first chapter…its not as funny, but far more detailed, and I think that’s a good thing. Its going to be a long process, but I’m looking forward to applying myself to something so creative.

RIGHT THEN. I need to package up some hair extensions that I’ve sold to an Australian girl, and check that everything’s ok at overkillhair.com. I have some really cool plans for the “business” over summer, including video tutorials and new designs, I just need to be at home to do it…’cos halls of residence are lame and don’t allow me to access the port I need to log-in. Urgh. Also have big plans for WRAW…and they will happen. Why do I have so many web projects and then never keep them updated?! Haha. I love WRAW, though. I want it to be uber-popular in the future and I think we can get it to that stage, just need to be patient.

I’ll probably be going to the pictures a lot over the next couple of weeks, seeing as there are finally some films coming out that I wanna see…I saw The Hangover not too long ago, it was excellent! Tom and I also saw Transformers 2 today. I don’t think it was as epic as the first one, but I still liked it. Those films really set the CGI-bar high. No other film has such great special effects.

A post of real substance coming soon, maybe…I’d post a preview of the new C.O.N. draft, if I thought anybody would read it.
