General update
I feel like I haven't updated in ages and when I checked it was almost three weeks. So I decided I should write about major happenings.
I am now secretary-elected for sfx. So basically next year I wil be the sfx soc's secretary yay! My friend scooped techie!
I have a house for next year! I'm sharing with three other girls on the same course as me, and we will all hopefully go to Japan next Septenmber for a whole year. (I'm kind of excited, yet nervous). The house is actually rather charming. We keep saying it has character. It's this little Victorian terrace, right on the main road, so it may be kind of noisy but it's quaint and as a tv with freesat thrown in. I'll finally be more up to date with the outside world and I can hook up my ps2 and play Kingdom hearts and ff7, which I am sorely missing (although I haven't actually started ff7 yet...shh! Don't tell anyone).
Speaking of Final Fantasy, I am currently playing 4 on nintendo ds, something I recently purchased to stave off the boredom. It works when I have time, which I have precious little of as its like mid-term essay writing. I ave a philosophy essay due in next week and computing due the week after. I still haven't gotten my mark for the last lot yet.
Moving on, last week I finished a really good novel by Xiaolu Guo called "20 fragements of a ravenous youth." It's all about this young girl named Fenfang and her life trying to become an actress in Beijing, having moved there from the countryside. I guess, I'd describe it as a coming of age/journey through life. I really did emphasise with the character in places. It's well worth reading. I just spotted it in Waterstones, read the back and had to buy it.
Also my parents bought me tons of books and dvds when they saw me this weekend. It meant I also got the two cds I have been waiting ages for 'Zerospace' by the Kidneythieves and 'Chaotic Resolve' by Plumb. They're both really good but completely different genres. I've been listening to Plumb most of yesterday and today. Last week it was The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus who are also fantastic.
They also bought me ff 3 for ds, but I asked them to leave KH: Chain of memories at home as I haven't finished KH yet and can't play it right now *sob.* I probably won't be able to do anymore till the summer. I have just Halloween Town and Neverland left, I think, plus a few tasks on the different worlds. On the topic of KH and FF I also got them to bring Clous, as I purchased Squall earlier this month. I don't think Mum is too happy about me wasting money on 'lumps of plastic' as she refers to them.
Finally, I updated my fictionpress once, if not twice since my last entery. Soon, though the Angel pieces will be over and then I shall begin to post a longer piece, which I'm just editing and writing the final part to. Then I can work on finishing another piece, which probably falls into fantasy. I also plan to try my hand at some KH fanfiction, although the characters are not being very co-operative at the moment.
Wow, this is really long.
I just want to finish by saying hello to everyone I know and don't know who reads this, if anyone does.
