"What? You got a job?"

Ha! The title is so true and has been the reactions of my parents and friends over the last few hours. I'm way pleased with myself. But this job might shock some of you so....my new job is a blogger for my uni's website! :) Turns out I'm kind of good at blogging and clearly I was what they were looking for which you know is a good thing because the job was open to everyone! So to be able to have been picked out of such a huge range of people is amazing. I'm more pleased with the fact I can now help more people make the right choice of coming to edge hill and studying in the place which I love. I get paid too, but I'm not really bothered about that-since it won't be a lot really-I'm just taking this as a change to reach more people with my written words, plus it'll look good when appealing for another job! So I'm happy, mega proud of myself and I'm so looking forward to the doors that this is going to open for me! Image all the people I'm going to meet! more possible buyers of my novels!

I'm getting a head of myself now though. I've a new blog....well not me my cactus, so if you want to check that out http://cactusbob9.wordpress.com/ I'll be adding to that later. I've work to do that, I should be doing now in fact! my presentation, which is okay really, done my research now just need to draw up a new plan of action and then do that. So I'm kinda hyper right now...maybe its the Pepsi, maybe its the job or maybe its the heavy metal music in my ears? :)

Tell me where it all went wrong and I'll pick up the pieces

It just sounded like a good title! So the crazy student house now has its own website http://www.auberginecentral.com/index.html This was set up by house mate sam and really does show some of the horrors we've had to cope with! I'll post pics too after this. But things are seeming to settle down in the aubergine now. We made it through the first talk about bill last night! No one put up a fight or moaned over it and everyone is now paying someone for all the bills in october, november, december and though this is a sudden loss of of money to me and Abi, it has to be done. But how we're going to eat for the next month is a mystery to me! But I'm sure we'll find something! So I'm currently in my room, listening to pardise lost, who are a cool band! (But I've read the play/book also) waiting for a parent to turn up and take me home! Not been there in two weeks and no doubt a lot has happened. So I'm looking forward to that.

Other news;

I've a lot of uni work a head of me. lots of things due in the last two weeks before we break for xmas. the 1st december is just over 4 weeks away and so I've 5/6 weeks to do a 10 minutes presention on a 1700 play with the theory of feminism, 1,500 word annotated biblography about the realism in robinson cruose, 1,000 word reading as a writer essay which is on the poet cliff yates, 15 minute stage script with 1,000 word self-assessment and annotated biblography, lastly 4 poems about a theme to be present in a creative style and with the above added things! And then, after xmas 6 poems from class as above also! so I'm busy...very busy...

Too busy to be going out, also moneyless. :( but still you need to let your hair down and last monday night I went to a quiz night and they have prizes for the best team name and my team won. I won't write on here what the name was because to win you had to have a very un-innocent name. but let's just say that jelly babies rule! So I better post up pics of the prizes too!

This is me with the prizes!

So we had new fire alarms fitted and not only was this a pain they kept beeping for 24 hours every minute whilst they installed themselves!

we also had to have door slammers fitted on every door. these are a pain as they bang so loudly they make you jump and we now have to waste time slowly shutting our doors to stop this from happening!

The broken cupboard door, still not been fixed!

Sam's notices is funny tho!

I had a good title but I forgot it.....

I've been busy! In fact very busy, no stop busy really. Things have been happing so fast I can't believe its nearly thrusday already. Where does the week go? So an update is needed I think! So I'm typing from the uni house (The Aubergine still!) my room in my bean bag chair, my laptop balanced on my chair and right now Pretty women from Sweeney Todd is playing on my media player. Also the beeping of my new fire alarm, the one in the hallway and next door keep going off every few seconds. The battaries are changing, but I don't get why they have to beep because of this but they have been doing it since 10am! I've kinda got use to it now. Anyway, tomrrow a poet is coming to poem writting class and I'm reading his poems. I'm also talking on msn and playing my new addiction- cafe world! on facebook. :) Also new with the house is the door slammers, which are a pain, but a must. Still it feels like our lives are being stopped by them, no more can you leave your door open for a friend to wonder in....I've read a novel in four days-Robinson Crusoe-I liked it and really its all about one man's search for God. I read Dr Fastus too and that was good. I wrote an essay about the treament and plot of a radio script I'd pretained to write-that's what you had to do- and I've just remember my other one that I need to print out for tomrrow because its due in friday but I'm not in uni then. So I was going to hand it in tomorrow. Next update: I've wrote no more on R3, I'm rewriting the sad story my friend told me and I've written some more poems. At the minute uni is all work and play! I'm so looking forward to the weekend-I'll take a break from work and chill out with my best friend!
