Having nothing to do...

...makes you want to do nothing. It's so strange and really annoying. I got up at twenty to twelve a couple of days ago and couldn't believe it.

I haven't posted for ages so I thought I'd put something up on the off chance that anybody reads it and also because I love to write. I'm writing a story at the moment and I managed to write 8000 words yesterday, I think I must have been on a roll! Hehe!

The end of term is slowly drawing near and it's slightly scary, the thought of being away from Bangor for sixteen weeks or however long it is, it'll be so odd. But the thing I struggle with most when I go back home is the fact that I can't make up my own rules and that I have to do as I'm told. It's such a strange thing when you've got so used to doing whatever you want whenever you want. So I'll have to see how I cope with that!

But before then I've got the summer ball. That's on Saturday! I finally managed to find some decent shoes and I just hope that they're comfy, although I'd be suprised if there was any pair of shoes that could still be comfy after ten hours! Ten hours...I'm going to be dead on my feet. But it should be fun, although church the following day will be interesting; I have a feeling I may fall asleep!

And then home on the 9th June! Can't believe two years is nearly over! Madness!

Hoping for snow!

Well the forecast all over Wales is for snow tomorrow, so I'm hoping that I will wake up to a white world. I've only got to lectures at eleven and twelve, so that will leave the whole afternoon for snowball fights and the like, so it should be good!

Term is going well. Today I've had a particularly productive day and as such am feeling very pleased with myself. I've read and made notes and organised my room, done some washing adn rang up Orange to ask them why my bill is always so high, it turns out they've put all these extra bundles on which cost lots and so I've asked them to take all of them off!

I've got so many books to read this term, I'm going to go blind from all the reading. I've re read Wuthering Heights, and I've still got Paradise Lost, North and South, Tom Jones (not the singer), Middlemarch, Great Expectations, Jekyll (sp?) and Hyde, The Importance of Being Ernest, Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver's Travels. It's madness!!! I'm just hoping they're going to be good books, otherwise it's going to be a long semester!

Well I'm off to bed, because I want to be up relatively early tomorrow! Hopefully I'll manage that!

Have fun one and all!

Tra la la la la

Well I have one more exam tomorrow, which I've revised for now, well very nearly, just got a bit left to do tomorrow morning and then I'm sorted.

I've been watching lots of Stargate Atlantis at the moment, which is good, I feel that atlantis is improving as it goes on, I think it's getting up to SG-1 status at the moment.

The internet is still messing up my early nights, although last night I managed to get upstairs before midnight, and tonight I'm aiming to be upstairs by about half ten, fingers crossed for that.

I can't wait until five o'clock tomorrow because then all my exams will be finished and then I'll have the rest of the week off, well I've got loadsa reading to do, but that's pretty straightforward. Au revoir!

Today

Well I've managed to do some more revision today in the form of reading through Richard the third and noting down all the useful quotes. I have to say, I'm putting a lot less effort into my Shakespeare revision than I did for my early twentieth century literature revision, but oh well! In a few days it will be over.

I'm leading a Sunday School group at church this week, which will be good, I'm making playdough! hehe!

They've forcast snow in bangor next week, which I'm veru excited about, I'm just hoping it comes after my exam because otherwise I won't revise adn that won't be good.

Oh well. I'm going to have a look around the internet now! Yay for me!

Internet is bad for your health!

Now, I don't want to complain about having the internet, because it's great, but now I'm going to bed later than I should, it's very annoying especially when I need to get up and revise.

I've joined facebook now, which is good, my housemate is telling me to put great, but I haven't got to that stage in my appreciation of facebook just yet!

Haven't really got much more to say except that it's been really windy in Bangor today, the lights kept on flicking but, and this is quite suprising, the house is still standing, I was sitting in the lounge thinking; if a tree falls through the roof now, I reckon I'd be able to get out of doing my Shakepeare exam, but no such look.

At least we don't have a tree that's crashed through the roof!

Internet!

A most amazing thing has happened people, and here in Bangor we finally have internet. After three months of waiting, four phone calls and many different dates when we were told our stuff would arrive, tiscali has finally sent it.

I can barely believe it and so now me and my housemates are connected to the rest of the world.

The problem is, I'd quite got used to not having internet around and I'd done lots of much more productive stuff, like reading and writing and the like, so I'm just hoping the internet doesn't take over again. Fingers crossed.

Anyway, I'm meant to be finishing my creative writing portfolios, so I best be getting on with that!

Have fun!

Back to Bangor!

Well I'm back in Bangor now. In true North Wales style it was tipping it down with rain when I arrived last Sunday afternoon.

My birthday was less successful than I'd hoped because not all my housemates were back at that point, but I had a good time in the morning and I went for a gorgeous meal with my family the night before, so all in all it wasn't too bad!

Thank you so much for my presents, they were lovely and I can't believe I'm twenty years old, it sounds so grown up and I don't feel that grown up to be fair.

Being back in bangor is nice though, although my body is having to readjust to the coldness of the house after three weeks of blissful warm indoor temperatures, oh well, I'm sure I will survive. I'm working hard in preparation for my exams, although I'm not looking forward to them, all the questions are really hard, but I'm going to work my way through them and it should be fine.

The return of Sky tv is also nice, although I haven't watched much yet. And shock horror I have been in bed before midnight every night except for one, which, considering I didn't manage that once over Christmas, I'm quite impressed about. Anyway, that's all for now, but stay turned! hehe, that's so cheesy. Have fun!
