Might start using this again :P
I've spent FAR too much since being here... only been here a week and in that time I've bought 3 CDs, 1 game, 3 books, 5 DVDs, and 2 DVD boxsets... Its hard scraping up money for food lol
It's all good, I'll steal from a roommate...
On another note, my course is a fucking joke. If its going to take 3 and a half years before I get to something new... is there much point? Considering how high the entry marks were, and that its such a specialised subject, it surprised me when in my first lecture the teacher asks "Could everyone that has used Excel raise their hands?", what was even more surprising is that only 5 did :/
And 4 straight hours of maths in a day is evil, EVIL I TELL YA!

Ha! Lordi won eurovision, that was absolutely brilliant! It wasn't even a close win, they won by about 40/50 points more than anyone else!
Yeah, I watched eurovision.... sssh!

Ordered the new Trashlight Vision album today... actually had to get the store to order me a copy because nowhere in this damn country gets new music... so should have that by friday, hopefully.
So... whats been going on... erm... I have until next Thursday to choose the two courses I want as my "Firm" and "Insurance" choices for uni... fun fun! :/ Still don't have a clue which to pick for my Insurance, Software Engineering or Computer Studies... still need to deal with accommodation, loans and grants, fee payment forms etc.
It sucks... o.O

I swear some people just go out of their way to make others suffer!
Finally got back my 6th offer (was accepted by the way), but they have went and changed the subject I was applying for. So instead of it being games development and mathematics they have changed it to statistics and computing... yes that sounds fun! You would think that if they were going to change someone's applications that I would atleast have a say in what subject I do!
They have also gone and raised the entry points for every single subject I've applied for... why do this in the middle of the year when people are applying? Why not wait until september when the people that haven applied this year have got their courses sorted and next years students wont start considering? So stupid!
So yeah, now I'm officially fucked, only one subject left that I actually want to do and the points are raised so high (equivalent of 3 A's at A level) that I will never be able to get in!

People are officially stupid!
Someone just called and I have no idea who or what they were looking but the conversation went a little like this
(I pick up the phone)
Them: Hello?
Me: hello.
Them: ...
Them: ...
Them: ...
Them: Is she there? (I don't here this so...)
Me: Sorry, could you repeat that?
Them: right...
Them: Well I'll call again later.
(Hangs up)
WTF? lol I have no idea who it was, who they were looking, or even if they had the right number!
Morons...

Lazy Fucking Wasters
Right, this is something that has been pissing me off for quite a while now; the state of my class.
Never in my life have I seen a bunch of lazy, uncommited people like them! Take Monday for example, I walk in in the morning to find that once again I am the only person there... for the entire fucking day! Today I thought would have been an improvement considering that there was a full class this morning... shame it didn't last long. By the end of first break there were 5 of us left, after our free class it was once again just me... I don't get why this insist on coming in once a week, just quit so I can join the other fucking class...
What REALLY bothers me though, is the fact that they come in on, say, a thursday and when the teacher mentions handing in an assignment due for the next day they bitch about not knowing when it was due... COME IN ONCE IN A WHILE AND YOU FUCKING MIGHT! Then ofcourse they don't hand it in when its due and get an extra week or two to do it while I have had to rush mine to be finished in time... that REALLY pisses me off.
Seriously folks, either come or quit, either way suits me. Just stop fucking wasting peoples time!
Oh and would people stop remixing Duran Duran songs into shit dance tracks? Its annoying... seriously...

My god does Amazon.com not make enough money or something? Was planning on ordering the 3 Underworld books from it because they are only $6.99 each, which works out to be a total of about £10/£11 for all 3 books, then I check the shipping fee. For one shipment you have to pay $4.49 then an additional $4.49 per item... So in total it works out to be $38.93, thats £21.78 for 3 books. Admittedly, if I was to buy them from Amazon.co.uk it would work out to be even more expensive at £33.24 but still... Damn it why doesn't Play.com have them with its wonderful free delivery?? Its certainly a hell of a way for amazon to trick their customers into paying more :P

Well so far I've heard back about 3 of the courses, two Software Engineering and one Multimedia... such great courses to hear back from! Why couldn't one have been a games development course? Just one...
Still I suppose I have some time, maybe I'll get a place in it... Its the only one I really want to do, I can't see myself happily spending four yets doing fucking multimedia...

You know I never thought I would be the kind of person to worry about getting into university... of course saying that, I never thought I would apply to university in the first place. Got 6 letters from Kingston university today, they got my application on Thursday. Now its going to take a couple of weeks before I hear anything, and just as if I wasn't worrying enough I find out that on average only about 4 minutes is spent looking at each application! Then of course I suddenly remembered "Wait a second... mine was SHIT!" :P

I still can't believe The Dead End Sluts are from this country... nevermind live 30 mins from me. They are too damn good to come from this hellhole!
I remember when Sophie used to be surprised that we talked for 6 hrs in a weekend... I spent 6 hrs talking to her last night alone lol Thank god for unlimited weekend calls! :P
Downloaded Battle Royale 2 for the second time this weekend, both versions didn't have subtitles and unfortunately I can't understand japanese... god damn it. I'll just get it from my friend instead.

So tired! In the end I went to the party, even though I spent most of yesterday talking to Sophie on the phone... then the battery died :( Was an odd night, highlight has to be Cameron dressing up as Gene Simmons, walking around tesco and spitting fake blood at people... and I have it all on video! Only got about 30 mins of sleep. Everyone stayed up until about 4am then it was just me, Jordan, and Cameron. We spent about an hour sitting in the kitchen talking about decapitated heads, dead grandparents in cupboards, and guns... then I made pasta! lol At about 5:30 Cameron tried to sleep and me and Jordan decided to go for a walk, ended up losing the house key and sitting on the front door step until about 6am when my friends dad let us in on the way out to work. Jordan went to sleep and I woke Cameron to have more meaningful conversations and playing repeated games of Revels Roullette... "Ugh! Coffeee!" I lost 3 times...
Slept from about 7:15 to 7:45 then woke up, watched Family Guy, then left at about 1pm to go into town.
Finally went to the doctor about my foot too, so its currently sitting in bandages and I have pills to take twice a day and cream to rub onto my foot... fun!
Wow this was a long post... possibly longest ever? I think so!
