What to take and what to leave.

Well, I'm nearly packed to go home for three weeks now! The last things I must pack are; my bedding, my diary, story notebook, novels I'm reading now and my plants. I've spent much of today packing and though I know its only three weeks and then I'm back for like four weeks then, I know that if I leave something behind that I now think I won't need I'll need it! So I must take everything, but what really can be left behind. But it's amazing the amount of stuff I've been hording in my uni room since I started! Non of my friends seem to have as much stuff as I do, so where has it all come from and how as it managed not to clutter up my room and turn it untidy? I don't have the answers to these questions, I just knew that tomorrow I'm luckily my mum decided to pick me up, as it means she'll bring the Town Ace! (For those that don't know, the Town ace is my family's huge eight seater, mini bus like car from Japan. The seats in the back folded down to make a double bed, all the windows have electric curtains, there are three sunroofs, a hot and cold box and one of my fav things is that it goes really, really fast. It's so funny when people try to over take it-thinking its a slow car-and then you put your foot down and shot off in it. I always laugh at their shocked faces.) I love the Town Ace so much! But yeah, hopefully all my stuff will fit in it and be able to come home with me.
Today the only thing I had to go to was my tutorial at 1:20pm. My normal life class lesson was cancelled because of this. So I went with one of my friends who had the time slot before me. We got to the room and though we were only meant to have five minutes each the girl before us took up forty minutes! She must have had something good to say...the only thing we had to say was about the next essay and it turned out we knew what we were doing anyway. Best news though! I got my book signed! Happy! So that's mostly it for today as I slept the morning away due to going to bed at two in the morning.
Last night I suddenly and surprising decided to go to the venue with one of my friends. I decided I would wear my skirt. So that would be the Fourth time I've worn a skirt since 1999 (It's a long story!) It was good really. I took lots of photos and danced, though I did moan about wanting to leave a lot, but that was only because it got really busy with drunk people, the music wasn't that bad most of the time and I guess I just got bored. I'm not so good at dancing and I don't really drink. But somehow I ended up staying till it closed at one. Then I wondered back to my friends where we listened to more tasteful music in the form of Linkin Park! And I read the director's diary/scrap book of filming Twilight and went into a fantasy world about James, because there was a photo of him half naked. (Forget about Edward, Jacob, Jasper etc! James is mine!) So then I went to bed.
So what am I doing now? Well I'm watching Princess Mononoke with friends and hopefully I shall get an early night later. Then I've only three more hours of lesson tomorrow before I'm FREE! Half term here I come!

Yesterday catch up.

I'm balancing a bowl of honey nut clusters on my knee that I'm eating with yogurt. (Though I had milk it seems that someone has drunk it all, though it is clearly labeled 'do not drink because I can't have normal milk due to being lactose intolerant' so it seems they clearly didn't care because they typical students.) I was listening to breakfast news but once again my TV signal is playing up, so I've given up with that now, nothing much happening out there anyway. so I'll find some heavy metal and put that on (hopefully most people are awake now and if not then its revenge for drinking my milk!) Ah, Iron Maiden, very sweet music to my ears.
I would have typed this blog yesterday but it was already two in the morning, so you can sort of see why I didn't bother. It was strange because I wasn't working or partying, I had been talking to three different people-one after the other-and just lost track of time and really what we were talking about, it was mostly random stuff anyway; more student adventures (such as my 2nd friend, who at two in the morning got locked out of her room and had to run to the security hut in just a skimpy night dress.) boyfriends, essays, books we were reading, house plans for next year, the photos I just put up on Facebook, sleeping problems and lost umbrellas.
Wow, just got two text messages at once! one about my friend who was waiting for the shower and the other from my friend who's just got out of class. Anyways.....
Yeah, I did a lot of talking last night and before that I'd spent three hours in the woods with my friends. We've been meaning to go and explore the woods for awhile now and we finally got around to doing it yesterday! And surprisingly for a bunch of older teenagers and two adults, we all had a great time. I took over hundred photos, most of them turned out really great and some of them are just silly. People seemed to like them though-I had twenty-eight emails from Facebook about the comments left on them alone! So in the woods we; climbed trees, rock faces, had stick fights and threw pine cones at each other. Plus one my friends sort of got really hyperactive and spent much of her time running around-she blamed it on the snowballs she'd eaten for breakfast, but really I think the sense of being free out doors went straight to her head.....We only came back because it suddenly got really cold and shockingly we arrived back at uni just before heavy rain hit. I'm so glad we weren't caught in that! And since then it's hardly stopping raining and there are now gale force winds too.
We're meant to be going to Liverpool today too.....not really shopping, just wondering around and window shopping, though I'd like to get my hands on Saxon's new CD! So I hope the weather sorts its self out in the next hour or so. I also need to pack to go home. Can't believe that it's half term on Friday and we get three weeks off! My biggest problem is what do I take home with me? How will I know if I really need something during the break? I'm so trying not to empty my whole uni room, but its hard because I want to sort my bedroom out (I'm one of the population who live in a box bedroom) and its like if I leave it now, I'll only have to try and fit it in somewhere when I come to empty my room when I leave.....I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have between fifty and sixty books in my cupboard right now! (endless trips to charity shops selling books at three for a pound and I had two hundred pounds from uni to spend on stuff I need for my course, but I had a lot left over and so most of that has gone on random books that I might never get round to reading anyway!)
Wow, the wind's so howling through the gaps in my window now.....time for lunch, I think I've moaned enough now.

Friday Night at Home!

I've been having a bad week but things are at last turning around now! First off, of course its Friday and I've come home to spend the weekend with my family! And as I spent last weekend at uni, its so great to be home and being licked and pawed to death by my dog. Clearly she has missed me as much as I've missed her! Secondly, I've now got a place to live next year! briefly because its a long story; I and four friends decided to live together in a house next year, well staring from September, when we go back to uni-so we spent ages looking for a 5 bedroom house that ticked all the boxes for everyone and that everyone liked. We final found one and I thought everything was going to work out....then one of the girl's pulled out and another soon followed her. This was way out of my control and they had good reasons too. So between me and the two girls that were left we decided to look for another house. This failed. so we decided to ask two more people to join us in the house we all liked. so after more talks and messing about, I called the landlord on Wednesday and he got back this afternoon and told me we could live there again! So things are looking great there now. I get the house I want and get to be with the people I really want to live with. Now I'm just praying that nothing else goes wrong.......so the next good thing today is; I've got another 3 essays out of the way now! So I've only like 8 and an exam to do and then I've finished my first year at uni. Wow, that's scary! It's gone far too fast, but I've been having so much fun though and I've meet some great people and made some even greater friends...next good thing then! This time next Friday I'll be on half term for 3 weeks! Of course like a good student I'll be studying hard and doing all my work....AS IF! I'm gonna go wild and try to write some more of my story. and I think the final, well the second final thing is that my aunt's coming to visit on Sunday-as well as it being mother's day. Last thing because I clearly have written a lot and you must be bored of reading this now is that I'm happily listen to all my music on the main computer-my laptop''s busy having problems connecting to my home Internet- which is being shuffled about. so I've just heard MCR and now I've got Meat Loaf. Right that is enough writing for one day! Off I go to poke Facebook now.......

Freedom! (It's over at last)

Done my work now! Another stress out of the way and now I'm free for the rest of the night.....Shame I don't feel like going out of that, but I'm hoping my favourite band: Iron Maiden will cheer me up. Their album Dance Of Death is on and its the one gig I want to see them at. It was way cool, they had a huge Eddie and a tank! I wish I could have gone to see them this year...but there was no way I could get down to London for it! Anyway I hope they play in Manchester again soon.....Listening to Bruce Dickinson also reminds me of the time I e-mailed his radio show on BBC 6. I asked him to play Alestorm's Captain Morgan's Revenge and he played the Huntsmaster instead, though I really didn't mind that.....but he could have got my name right! lol, my friend told me to stop ranting on here, guess its not working...must be one of those days. Strange my Media player has now decided to play Guns and Rose's Sympathy for the Devil right though Maiden....It's not even set on shuffle. But I won't complain about that as it is the end song to one of my favorite films.
Tonight it feels strangely quiet in my hall. Makes me wondered where everyone has gone off to. I guessing the Venue or Liverpool. Places I'd like to go but I fear I've no energy left now. Plus the other problem I now have is that I'm stuck in my bean bag chair....serves me right of jumping right in the middle of it,I guess....man, this is gonna take awhile to get out off......

My first Blog.

So, here is my first blog on Blogger.com and already I've had a bit of trouble starting out. This is mostly to do with the fact I needed to create another email address this time at Google to be able to get on to here. Perhaps there was a way to get around this, but my web skills are limited in that area, so I decided to just do it. I've four email address now!
Okay, so really this is my second Blog. I use to blog at myspace.com but it seems to be become one of those lesser used websites now and well the main reason of me now blogging on here is because my tutor-Andy Remic-of life class (Which I'm taking as part as my creative writing course at Edge Hill Uni! (But more on that later)) asked the whole class to blog on here and then send him the link. Oh and just if your wondering where you might know that name from, it's because he's a published author-something I'm hoping to become one day!
I'm currently listening to Meat Loaf's Hot Summer Night, which seems to fit the weather outside today. It's amazing sunny and warm! (and that's saying something because Spring has only just arrived.) There are like students everywhere enjoying it and here is me stuck inside my room pondering my next move in writing the next question in my 24 hour exam.....
Don't even get me started on it! I mean really, what strange person came up with the idea of giving English Lit-(yeah I take that too, joint with creative writing.) students a paper to do over 24 hours mixed in with everything else they have to do? (such as sleeping, eating, going to class, partying, drinking and sleeping again?) and on a great summer like day today? Still I guess if it was raining I'd be still complaining about it.....but at least I've only one more question to answer now!
Now I'm listening to Dragonforce -Dawn Over A New World. You know the shuffle button is an amazing thing.....
It's nearly four now, I guess I should try and do my question now...
Guess I might come back on here and write some more after. ....Hope my luck lasts!
