*emerges from a pile of Uni Work*

*tests the surrounding area*

Ok, yeah, seems like I'm safe to come out and witter on for a while. I've just found a whole new set of icons - Spike quotes! Immortalised on clolourful backgrounds! I *heart* them so! Lookit! *points at Icon*

It's getting to that time of year again - portfolios and exams and projects OH MY! And although the workload seems huge whenever people ask me what I need to do and I list it off, I do have faith that I'll be able to get through this somehow.

I feel as though I should join a community or something, here on LJ and in the 'real world.' Like, I really think I could actually have quite a few stories to contribute to customers_suck, for example, but... meh. Usually once I've got home, I'm past the anger stage. I'd join some sort of fic comm, if I thought I had the time to spare, but I don't. Does anyone have any recs? Something to introduce me to new people and maybe even new interests? Any help would be appreciated!

Anyway, this HUGE post has tired me out, and so back I go! 

*submerges back into Uni work*

Yes, I'm still alive - just barely! Have just arrived home for the Christmas holidays after a very few weeks. Constant reading and writing and working and shopping. heh.

It's weird being back, but I guess it does feel like Christmas now - we never got round to putting up decorations in the Uni house. We have lights, but I think they are going to become a year-round thing because when we pull them from the wall the paint comes with them, and I'd like a deposit back please!

I have quite a lot of work to be doing, mostly reading, writing and editing, but I also hope to be finishing the fic I started months ago and maybe start posting that. But, we'll see. Middlemarch is my next Victorian mountain to climb, and I have a feeling it'll be a toughie! I also have to go to work because Christmas has emptied my bank account!

Anyway, off I go to unpack my bags, which will be fun and take ages... home sweet home!

I have a seminar in like... 15 minutes, so this is a fly by update!

I'm gonna get a cover for my iPod mini, aka 'Squeek' as I have named her, and I don't know which type to buy. The really close fitting silicone type, which will hide the pretty colour, or the crystal plastic ones which are basically a fancy plastic box you put it in. You can see through it to Squeek, which I like. I'm torn, torn I tells ya!

We FINALLY have the internet in the house, after about 7 weeks of waiting. It is a good time, especially since all of my course, practically, is online. Hurrah! I can procrastinate online once again! And so the world makes sense!

I need to decide what I'm going to do about living conditions next year - on or off campus. There are pros and cons for both, so I really do not know which one to choose. I'm gonna really have to think about it, but I know I'm not gonna move onto campus again next year just because the Boy is.

I just rewrote an email three times to my friend, because the STUPID mouse kept skipping me back a page and therefore losing all I had written. I have now given up and will have to go back to it later, when I have the patience and, more importantly, a GOOD mouse.

I'm finding it easier to write 1000 word blocks of stories! Go me!

I'm hungry...

My life, in bullet point form.

• I just lost this entry which is... really quite annoying. Stupid mouse button.
• Uni is kicking my ass.
• I'm finding it actually alright writing 2000 words a week, since once I get a good idea and a plan of where it's going I'm going ok. But all original all the time gets a bit tough, and so I am hoping that one day I will be like '2000 words a week? Pah! I can do that in a day!'
• I can't wait until my approaching reading week, as I am going to use it as the name suggests and really catch up with my reading! And get a head start on some stories, I think. Might be good to be a week ahead.
• I gave blood yesterday.
• I almost fainted in a supermarket yesterday. See above.
• I miss my friend who's studying for the year in Florida :(
• I am having a romantic night in with my boy tonight :)
• I have a blue mini ipod called Squeek and I love her so very very much! So much music, not enough time! And she's so sexy!
• I'm going to see Franz Ferdinand later this month and am SO EXCITED! Love birthdays!
• I'm sleepy.
• I still don't have the internet at home, which is a pain because everything is online this year and I am not. Plus I miss just having the net and reading LJ and FIC! I miss fic too.
• I'm done, I think.
