Meh! [Daniel]
This post is here mainly to fill in the quota of of a blog a week, that I semi set myself. So………… I’ll have to whip up some magic to put some interesting uni experiences down.
The first one I can think of is not really a uni experience just a general life one, I met my best friend from primary school on the train, which was pretty cool. Except as always with old relationships it was kinda awkward we were both still (as had happened at primary school) going in different directions. So I got to find out all about my old friends, which was oddly seemingly the same as what they were doing/ wanting to do when we were at primary school. Not along the lines of a vocalisation of “This is what I want to do,” but as in when we were small he/they acted in a simular style. Surprising that, people becoming what they wanted or acted like when they were small. Then again people can change massively, but when I met up it was as though things hadn’t changed at all.
So that was cool … I watched Henry V on Friday for Homer to Hollywood and have to, as is my duty report that it is a pretty darn good film with the accompaniment of one of the greatest men in television, Brian Blessed. He apart from Liam Neeson, is where all logic fails, they’re just awesome in their respective roles. Ok now that the fanboyism has left I can say in all honesty that it was a decent film. The problem was that I was falling asleep by the end of it. Not because it was boring! (Also note the whole thing about the film was a lead up to saying I’m tired from the week.) It was because my week was electric! and surprising hectic! (10 points for song reference) Resulting in me being a zombiefied mess by the end of week. Firstly I blame doing things (such as uni, moving, living) . Secondly I blame (more realistically) an addiction to watching Buffy (Don’t judge me) and staying up. WHICH IS THE FAULT! Of none other than younger siblings (even though you know in your soul that a vampire Tv series is good for any 10 year old) and a crowded house of people who like watching tv at certain times. But I’m getting ahead of myself. The thing I want to, need to say is that…. Even I a person of introvert origins get tired from too much introvert activities. EVEN THE SEEMINGLY INNOCENT. Anyway things take up a lot of time, ergo it’s really easy to get busy busy.
Which brings me to another thing I’ve done! Some bits of my assignment ALREADY! Yep I’m that prepared or readily wanting to do work. It’s what I did on my day off (lucky Thursday), which while productive fails to properly achieve the spirit of uni, well meby it does, except at a rather explosive rate. But now I don’t have to worry about doing much for the rest of the next week. I mean I haven’t finished but I’ve at least made some headway, mostly halfway up on the scale of all my subjects. So free time I’ve been spending with work, not fun but frees up the weekends or rather days in the coming week because you know in your heart of hearts you’ve made some progress. The only problem with that method of doing things (at least for me) is that you never get enough work done and your free time is swallowed up in a Black hole of studying/working on far off projects. So with reality hitting me squarely on the head, as long as something sometime gets done, I, you, people should be fine.
And Uni, is still incredible for the simple fact that I found out uni Uni members get a lounge, with comfy seats and other awesome extras like Tv, showing semi awesome day time tv! Another awesome feature that I found out was the comics in the Rowden, they are ultra nerdy cool, yep streamlined nerdyness that backflips onto itself to create what will forever be known as killing frees with Batman. He avenges my mentally ravenged brain along with all the other superheros…. Moving away from my attention to Batman, the Rowden is excelent for time out, especially if your mind is either mush or corregated iron. It soothes the mind, with the awesome chill out area and chill out music and chill out but always nerdy (which is a plus for me) comic books. Also the Tv in the Rowden shows some actual TV not mind numbing Passions or Hughey’s Cooking adventures (which in their own rights can be good for you too).
Ok that’s the end of my spiel, now all I have to do is remind myself how awesome Creative Writing is (people critic your work very well and nicely, I am feeling bad about criticing (not meanly) a lot about a certain poem, but I started on a positive).
There we go all done.
Now off to bludge a bit.

It seems we’ve all slowed down in the amount of blogs per week eh.
I’m HOPING to fulfill the 1-a-week quota as well =PP
And union lounge is awesome =D
AND i’ll be checking out those comics, for sure. (fosho)
