One Down; Two to Go

Years, that is :)

Yes, folks, that time has finally arrived; my first year of university is complete!

Okay, so I did complete a year before, but this time I’ve actually passed!

Well, in all pobability I’ve passed.  It’s yet to be official, but unless some major catastrophe has befallen the script I wrote a few weeks back or the exam I sat today (it didn’t exactly go swimmingly, but I’m relatively sure it was good enough), then I shall be moving on to my first second year of uni!

My three core modules – Imaginary and Real Worlds, Prose Fundamentals and Playwriting Fundamentals - went as well as could be expected with solid 2-1s in each.  In fact, considering how the first two started (50% and 57% respectively), nailing a 2-1 in either was a miracle. 

’tis now time to bow my head and apologise for my lack of presence around here of late.  It’s not like I haven’t had the time (technically I should’ve been revising, but my procrastination knows no bounds); I’ve just found it far too easy to switch off and vegitate at the controls of my Xbox.  Nights have mostly been spent watching DVDs with housemates (some of them actually needed introducing to the Alien films (McSpanky, you’ll get your chance)) or partying.

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), there seems to be little to catch up on.  Deej and Mr. E appear to have kept up the good work, and there will, of course, be reems upon reems of Little Miss Gypo’s updates to get through, but the rest of you seem to have been slacking almost as much as I have (though I imagine your comment contributions are considerably higher).

Now it’s time for bed.  A cold has reared is ugly, mucus-dripping head at the worst possible time, and I need to finish my hot toddy and get some rest so’s I can wake up bright and fresh and set about pummelling the little bugger with soup, coffee and as much food as I cram in.

Hope this finds you all well and I’ll be back with more, sooooon…

    Come watch DVDs with me! I’m bored and don’t like to watch them alone :( Still haven’t watched that weird lookin’ film I picked up when I was down visiting you….

    I’ve slacked a bit in the blogging department, but that’s mostly due to not being arsed to type stuff. Meh.

    I’d love to. When are you free?

  3. Deej says:

    It’s about damn time you show up. *mutters* Hmph! Alas, Mr. E has left us and wandered to blogger. Drats and damnation about that though.

    Congrats on finishing up the first year. I think, in some ways, that’s the most difficult.

    To each their own.

    According to a lecturer here, there’s a big leap from the first to the second year, in terms of the effort we have to put in…

    When am I free? Every Friday and Saturday… :P

    It’d be easier for me to come watch with you, though. Unless you wanna come here of a morning, and go home again come bedtime. There’s absolutely no room in my house for guests t sleep I’m afraid.

    You’re always welcome, except this coming weekend (big uni blow-out planned) and the last of the month (friend’s stag do).

    I’m not gonna be able to afford it until after June 12th… all my spare cash for this coming payday (Friday!!) is taken up by a haircut, new trainers, and a trip to Wales. I’ll give you a text closer to the time, because I keep forgetting to check my bookmarks!

  8. Bebbet says:

    Alas, by then I’ll be back in the north east. Contract runs out 7th of June :(

    Oh well, if you haven’t made it to the other side of the world by September, there’s always then…

    Oh gawd don’t read everything I’ve written. I crap on so much. Nothing much has changed except that I’m doing cooler/more fun gigs.

    Can’t believe your first year has already gorn! That’s nuts!

  10. Bebbet says:

    Somehow it feels both like the year has flown by, yet I’ve been here forever…

  11. gypsy says:

    Yeah I felt like that when I graduated…. all the fun makes it fly but then you remember all the flippin’ hard work you put in and yes, it does feel like that long.
