Sooo, once again I manage to go a week and a half without updating my journal. To tell the truth, not all that much has been happening recently. My days are filled with lots of nothing (no work to do, I've finished all the assessments), so I've been reading alot and playing a fair bit of Call of Duty and Morrowind. Spent alot of time with Kim too, which is great. There've been a fair few socials in the evenings, mostly small little pizzafests, but Deeps housewarming was quite fun (rubbed pizza into Seraphs face, got pizza rubbed into my face, told Mike to throw beer over Seraph (which he did, and now I feel guilty), and last night we had another TagSoc meet with pizza and music. There was also a Apple Pie and Custard TagSoc meet last week sometime, which was quite fun :D
It's a really nice day today, nice cool breeze but warm in the sunshine, so I'm off to play frisbee in about 30 mins, and this evening I've organised a TagSoc social down at the local Laser Quest thingy (Planet Lazer), followed by meal and drinks at the pub. Should be a kickass night.
The really scary thing at the moment is the fact that it's half-way through week 23. Which means that there is only a week and a half left to go before the end of term :'( Uni is great, and I really don't wanna go :/ I won't actually be going, I'm staying here for the full 4 weeks of the easter hols, but everyone will be going, leaving me very much alone :'( I think I'm gonna have to get a job, to occupy my attention as much as get me money.
So yeah, uni is brilliant, but it's soon to end, and that sucks. Plus, in a week and a half I'll be 20, halfway to my midlife crisis. I'll be having a quarter life crisis just as everyone leaves... fun :P

Meh. Project week went by in a flash, and I can't really think what I did to fill it. I finished the DigiSys assessment, which means that there are only two assessments left until the end of term (3 weeks. ARGHH!). Time has simply flown by... before long it'll be the end of the first year, and the summer holidays, and I don't know what I'll be doing. I need to get myself organised.
So yeah, the past few days have been pretty uneventful. Friday eve we had the first TagSoc social, involving lots of pizza followed by Apple Pie and custard (cheers Ben and Kirb). We tried to play Tag but it had rained, so everywhere was kinda slippy. A few of use decided to try and watch the entire series of 24 in one sitting, but the people I was watching it with gave up after 2 episodes (we started at about midnight, so thats not too surprising really), so Kim and I spent alot of yesterday watching it. It's really quite cool.
In other news, I kidnapped a small yellow duck called Bob and posted him off to a friend og mine, Silje, in Norway. Fairly amusing, to say the least. When I get it and the photos back, I may send it to Australia.
Not much else to say, really.... I'm just drifting along fairly aimlessly at the moment. I'm thinking I should probably find somthing to occupy my attention. Something to actually do.

Meh. Another week without updates >.< I'm turning this into a reeeeally bad habit :/
Fencing was good last week, I played really well. On weds, nothing much happened all day (finished the InfoSys coursework), but in the evening a load of us went down to Sophie's old house for a pancake party, which was really cool. As we left that, we saw this really cute kitten, and Kim and Mike had to be literally dragged away from it. We got back onto campus around 11pm, and decided to go up to the Darwin Tower (at this point there 6 of us, Kim and I, Piggeh, Rincey, Dave, Bel, and Mike) and we decided to play Murder In The Dark in the big study room up there. It's been a while since I've had as much fun :D
Thursday passed quite quickly, but on Friday evening me, Tadi and Briony went up to London to the Alberry Theatre to watch a play. It's called Endgame, and it's got Michael Gambon (who's gonna play Dumbledoor in the next Harry Potter film) and Lee Evans in it. It was soooo good, really really enjoyable. Very surreal (it's about the end of the world, and people with no legs who live in dustbins), very funny, an very good. All in all, an enjoyable night out in London.
Kim had gone to London herself for the weekend, so I spent Saturday finishing off most of the assessments I am supposed to do this week (Project Week), so I've basically got nothing at all this week now, as I have done most of the work already. Went to Alex's party on Saturday evening where I got assulted by b00.. I have pictures, but I can't decide whether to upload them or not ;D (they can be found here)
Kim came back Sunday morning, so I spent the day with her. She had a piece of transcription to do, and I helped her a little with that, but mostly I read (finished Stephen King ~ Wizard and Glass!). And ate pizza. It also snowed (again), which was quite cool.
Monday was spent finishing the transcription (Kim wrote 12000 words >.<), and after that we finished playing Atlantis (a really cool old Point-and-Click game). We decided to throw a miniparteh over at my house, which went really well. Alex, Mike, Ozzit, Tom and Sophie all showed up, and after pizza we just chatted and watched funny movieclips and generally had fun. T'was good. Then it got better.
Y'see, Dave and I decided that what we did last Weds, playing Murder in the Dark, was really fun, so we're making a society (called TagSoc) dedicated to playing that and related games. So we decided to have a coupla games of that. Dave and Piggeh came over, as did b00, and the games began. It was sooooooooooooo much fun, running around ParkWood at 1am ducking and diving, runnning and catching people. Sounds childish? Well, yeah, it is. But it's goooooood :D
So yeah. It's a beautiful day today, even fairly warm in the sun, and there is more TagSoc planned for in and around Rutherford College after the quizzeh this evening.

Life is good, and couldn't get much better.
