At Home for the summer!

I’m back at home now! I had forgotten how difficult it can be to settle back into my old bedroom and family life. I’ve not been doing much since I moved out of my student room. Mostly it has been sorting out my stuff and deciding where to put it. I’ve to become more radical with my bedroom though! My room is a box and there’s no way all my stuff from my uni can fit back in. So I’m going to have to get rid of a lot of things!

I’ve also started playing Bioshock 1 again. I’m not one for 1 person shooter games normally. I’ve been known to be ‘another player’ when needed, but it’s not been since DOOM back in the ’90′s that I’ve been known to play shooter games by myself. There’s just something about Bioshock though and I think its got to do with the plot and the actually backgrounds to the game. My creative and imaginative sides seem to like the idea of a future that is actually set in the past under the sea. The world of Rapture was designed to give people freedom from the constraints of normal life. What happens though is it goes to every one’s heads and the Utopia is destroyed. So if you’ve not had a chance to play this game yet I’d recommended it! The 3rd one is coming out in Autumn and the movie next year.

Moving on again, I’m currently trying to apply for my Masters in creative writing at EHU. I’m having some trouble getting references right now. So annoying! But references are highly important because they show from another person that you are able to do tasks, you have the skills, right attitude and a good background also. So choosing who to ask is also important so that person can give you the best possible reference to get that place you’re applying for!

I so have the urge to bake cookies now…..think I’m getting all homely. It looks like its going to rain though. I don’t think it has been doing much else since I got home. I hope the weather changes soon though, I go on holiday in about 2 weeks. No where special really, just down the south of England. Looking forward to that, a nice break and a recharge is needed. I’ve not been working on my novels for a while now. I’ve forced myself to take a break, but now getting back into writing is proofing to be a little difficult! There’s lots of techniques to try out though and one of them is just writing whatever comes into your head and not thinking about. Or else, like I’m going to do, just pick up where you left off writing and just let it roll on.

I could do with starting to look at summer jobs too now. Gosh there’s so much to do!
