come down to lake pontchartrain

Happy Birthday batfowl!
I hope you have an amazing day, and if you don't put a party hat on Kai and take a photo I will be so disappointed. MAY IT BE FILLED WITH AWESOME.


I now have little under a week to finish all my current university projects. It would've been a lot worse if they hadn't extended our essay deadline to the 11th, so thankfully I'll have another weekend to finish that. And then, I am free. Free. Well, at least till third year when I'll be dying from OH GOD I HAVE TO MAKE MY FINAL FILM AND WRITE A DISSERTATION OH GOD, but I'll have the American Adventure to take the edge off. Fff so excited about that. But first I have to finish all my work.

Here's a little check list so I don't lose track of what I need to do:

FOR 7TH MAY:
✔ 1 Minute Showreel of all my current work
✔ Final business card designs
✔ CD cover design (based from business card)
→ Cover Letter
→ CV
→ Digital Portfolio
→ Self Reflexive journal (idek what this is)
→ Website (OPTIONAL - only if I have time spare)
→ Final Film Proposal with concept art, scripts, thumb nailed storyboards etc

FOR 11TH MAY:
→ Dissertation Proposal including a summer reading list
→ First chapter of dissertation (2000 words)


So I might be a bit scarce from now on sob. After I hand everything in, i'm spending my last week probably playing FFXIII and Rock Band, and going to the May Ball, which Feeder are playing at this year. Plus there's the whole free funfair in high heels, so it should be a blast like last year was. Especially since this year my sister is coming :3 AND THEN I GET TO GO HOME \o\


ALSO I SAW IRON MAN 2 YESTERDAY AND ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT IS DKJNSKDFNKJSNWAEKS<DMNKJDNFSXMSIKJNASZLJNFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFSOGOODGUYS!1!!!!one!!!

I hope you all had a good holiday and New Year! 2010 sounds like a good year :) I haven't really posted in a while because I've been busy with a lot of off internet things since I've not been home in like 2 months and family came to stay from Bermuda and then there was a party and then otilu was here and it's been a little crazy. The house is back to being empty again, and mom's started to take down all the Christmas decorations (it's kind of sad 8( The house looks so pretty with them up) and I've got one week left before I go back to University.

I'm not sure if I'm dreading it or looking forward to it. I have two projects to hand in a couple days after I get back, neither of which I've really worked on since I've been at home, so I'm not looking forward to the all-nighters and stress that is going to go with that, but I do miss my little room and my friends. I dunno. It's weird I guess. Especially since I'm not really happy with my course and the only bits I do enjoy are the social aspects of it. Euugh. Pura make your mind up.

I think the fact that I'm very sleep deprived because I had to share my bed with my sister last night (since our extended family were still with us) and she snores so loudly that I couldn't sleep and i have work in 10 minutes and my shoulder is killing me from walking around London all yesterday with my father and his brother, it's making me grumpy. I just want to go back to bed, but I know that the moment I get back from work I have to sit down and start school work and keep at it as late as I can. Which means I'll be hecka scarce from the internet for like a week. But if I work as well as doing my schoolwork, hopefully I can finally buy my plane tickets for this summer. I've almost got enough money, just another £200 should do it, hopefully. Once those are actually booked, I'm going to feel a whole lot better.

So yeah! I'm not going to be around much at all over the next couple of weeks. I'll probably still be doing tags, but at a really slow pace.

IN OTHER NEWS I got to meet countersparking again the other weekend (Maria you are so cute omg), along with otilu and ormery, and we all went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movies, which I thought was rather excellent and I'm probably going to see it again sometime this week or next. Derp. I'm also probably seeing Avatar when I go back to uni with one of my friends since she's been obsessing over it since she read about it's production, and whilst I'm a little skeptical about the plot, I'll still give it a go.

(I ALSO SAW PRINCESS AND THE FROG, OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT TO COME OUT OVER HERE SO I CAN SEE IT IN HD AND NOT A CRAPPY INTERNET STREAM. BUT IT WAS AWESOME.)

That is all. Carry on.

Going home today, for Easter! I think I'd be more excited if I didn't have to do as much work as I've been given, BUT HEY. DOUBLE BED. fhjsgg. (but seriously, 2000 word essay, and two separate projects.) I don't understand why we have to go back. Basically, we go back to Uni from Easter (I get two weeks off) and then have two weeks of classes/finishing projects and then we're finished. A LITTLE POINTLESS IF YOU ASK ME, but hey what do I know.

I am not looking forward to dragging that heavy suitcase around the London underground, 'specially since London Paddington has a fuckton of steps. ;__; last time I did it, my back was killing me. Cries.


- also, I met a guy last night called Slade. He had bright purple hair and a lip ring. I couldn't take him seriously all evening (which is good since he's kind of a really funny guy) because I kept thinking of TT Slade and what Robin would do if he found out Slade was actually a 20 year-old history student who spends his evenings wishing he was smart enough to build a time machine and bring back Napoleon so that he didn't have to do his essay.
