My September :D

Hey Everyone

Away from TV.com)

Well, I reckon some of you might guess what my big news for this month is ...

I became a full time student again . I am officially coming to you from University . A whole 3 years of it to go . I'll try and survive .

But i still reckon a youtube video is needed to celebrate the occasion :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpwP4wD2EJQ&feature=PlayList&p=BFBB7D945676CF33&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=15

So anyway, back to Uni life . Well after some initial homesickness, I'm slowly starting to settle into Uni life , although all the reading and coursework I have to do is a bit off putting . It's a big change for me compared to the first 29 years of my life, and a bit scary because of it , but I'm sure I'll get into the swing of it all eventually .

Other things that happened this month :

- My Mum had a birthday . I got her a book about bird watching

- My nephew had a birhday . I got him a racing car card game (gotta watch the pennies now that I'm a student )

- I had 4 leaving parties! . I went out for drinks with my now ex-work colleagues . I went out drinking with my friends . I had a meal with my parents and my brother and sister and their families . And I went Go-karting with my Karate group, and it was soo much fun , I've never been go-karting before .

- I joined a new salsa club up at Uni

- I went and saw this illusionist guy who swallowed loads of random things. It was pretty gross

- I got something I wrote published in a film magazine again .

Albums I bought) La Roux by La Roux, It's Not Me, It's You by Lily Allen, The Boy Who Knew Too Much by Mika

Films I Bought) House Party 2, House Party 3, Labyrinth, Fast And Furious

TV Shows I bought) CSI: NY - Season 5, Part 1, The Simspons: Season 12

27 days till Halloween

80 days till I'm with Anna again

My August :D

Hey Everyone

Away from TV.com)

Hmm, now what could have possibly happened, hmm . Oh, now I remember............... Anna came over and stayed with me for 9 days .

Yep . A whole 9 days . Apart from all that lovey dovey stuff , things we did included : Going to the seaside, going to see a musical in the West End , having a picnic in a local park , and going to the cinema twice . Oh and she also got to meet my brother and his family, and my work colleagues, and one of my friends .

I'm currently hoping to go over to Switzerland in December .

Other things that happened in August :

- It was my brother's birthday .

- I got a new display rack for my TV DVDs (You may have noticed that I tend to buy the occasional TV Boxset ). I'm hoping, that with me having to drastically reduce my DVD buying when I'm at Uni , it might last me till the end of my Uni course . It probably wont though , LOL .

- I bought a new ipod . It's a black ipod classic , and it has a storage capacity of 120GB .

- I got a new hi-fi for Uni . It's just a basic thing , but it does come with a CD player, digital radio, and ipod playing area .

- I got a new DVD player . a multi-region one .

- And I got a new TV aswell . A 20 inch HD readly plasma screen, with built in freeview (a cheap, lot less impressive version of Cable, but Hey, It still means I get about 20 extra channels to watch ).

- Oh and there's also the fun of arranging my September farewell parties . Of which there are 4 of them! . More about them in the future though .

On TV.com)

- I did a joint blog with banannie . It was a lot of fun

- But also sadness . Banannie left . I know she had her reasons for leaving, but it was still sad to see her go .
