Reinvented Blog :)

So I thought that it’s about time my onyx-cceptable blog has its much needed makeover, with that in mind I think im going to post more about stuff that isn’t just my work (paha let’s see how long this will last), but yeah thats happening. Anyway! As you can see, my blog is now completely (somewhat) different, I initially thought that I needed lasers but before I married myself to the idea of it I stumbled across robots and rocket ships, two of the coolest things in the world, and they just seem like a perfect fit for my completely academic blog *cough*

Now that I’ve said I want to blog more for fun and not because I need to I can’t actually think of much to say, managed to get media essay done...? Revision makes me want to die? Just the usual really, but yeah I guess if anything I’m getting more into the swing of uni life again, especially after a whole month off of doing literally nothing around the house in sleepy little Kenilworth. I am pleased to note that things felt far more normal today as it marked our traditional trip to maccies, even though we didn’t even plan on going there, we weren’t even hungry... so good at this life business. So yeah, planning on getting my revision started and continued tomorrow up until the exam. Then its money saving mode im afraid, gotta make sure I don’t need to dip into my savings too much to afford going to Japan, though I’ll obvs be hitting up Bop, the greatest night out ever – which is a common known fact, just like how the park swings in Kenilworth are the best in the county, true story.

All I can think of right now, truth is im just so bored and I really can’t sleep so instead of reading Arbok (yeah thats right, Ekans-ee this going on for a long time) I thought hey why not get back into blogging? It’s a sad time when I need to be hideously bored to want to blog, but this’ll change in no time! Now I know you’ve loved reading this so im sorry it has to end, yeah I know devastating, but I’d like to announce that you’re all gonna be seeing a lot more of my blog nowadays, might be a bit Slowbro so deal with it.

I’ll Raichu another blog post soon x

Nathan Week!

Basically now that I’ve blogged about all the work I meant to do this is my excuse for not doing it the day I wrote the notes! My best friend Nathan, who studies Graphics design in Huddersfield, came to visit us here in Winchester for 5 days. These 5 days have been filled to the brim with Ronalds and so much drinking, I’m not sure if I'm entirely proud of myself...

So Nathan was getting here by Mega bus, he set off at 7:00am and he arrived at Winchester 1:10pm so that’s pretty much a six hour journey on the coach. Me and Henry (Hooves) were to meet him at St. Catherine’s Park and Ride (which is like a billion miles out of town and in the country) needless to say, I was right on Google maps and writing down some dynamite directions for us to get there. Naturally, we managed to set off late (not really surprising) and instantly thought we were lost out in the country. Despite this managed to find him and we eventually got back to the uni.

From this we went into town and this set the precedent of what happens now when we go into town - we will always go to the shops and buy cheap snacks and alcohol and then finish it off with a trip to McDonalds. I can honestly say that we had McDonalds 5 days straight, I’m not sure if this is something impressive but I feel just fine... *passes out*

After this we get ready to go out drinking, we managed to go out Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (well, drinking in the flat Thursday) and Friday which was the Harry Potter Flirt! This links in with what I was going to say next - Nathan doesn't like doing the theme that they tell you to do, im sure many of you at flirt saw a short blonde guy dressed as a Hobbit from Lord of the Rings - that was Nathan, im sure you'll have seen him despite how short he is.

But yeah, that’s pretty much my week this week, I successfully managed to juggle going out every night with being on time and alive for my lectures! Now thats something to be proud of really, needless to say I think it’s time to slow down on the going out - maybe just the two big nights a week or something or else I may actually run out of money! Haven't touched my overdraft yet - score!

Anyway people keep reading and so on, oh and most of all stay classy, Winchester x

Just for fun... (I got very bored)

So I’ve been looking through my blog and it occurred to me that the majority of my posts recently have been all about work and no-one wants to read about it! So I thought I’d break from this trend and post about anything that I can think about (yes, instead of doing my radio piece and yes instead of my law notes *sad face*)

As I’ve made clear to many people recently, weekends are my days off from drinking and are days for doing nothing and just relaxing. So this weekend I’ve stuck to that and not done anything; I’ve got to tell you, it feels phenomenal. Not having to worry about spending my money, albeit it well, on alcohol is a great feeling - especially since I’m running out of money at an alarming speed :( something im not proud of. Maybe it’s down to the fact that the second I got my student loan the money pretty much went straight to my head! Then when the money for housing comes out of my account it’s like kapow. I'm now broke. But don’t worry, I’ve come to the conclusion that I can just like not eat for a few weeks (more like months) and it'll all be just fine... probably.

Devastated to learn on Friday that it was our last precision English lesson! Without the lessons I’d have saved like a whole tree going by the number of sheets we were given and how much I actually wrote! Sorry about that one nature. But it was needed so that I could finally learn how to spell the word Haemorrhage (yeah, its totes right). On the topic of precision English, I’d like to point out that im in fact procrastinating and not prevaricating, thanks Annette. When I think about it, Precision English gave me a chance to show off my "amazing" artistic skills, especially when it comes to decorating a certain "Sun vs. Guardian" sheet, the people in the amazing group of ours (you know who you are and im sorry that you'll never be as good as drawing as me. I've also got to give Ellen a mention for teaching me how to draw stars!) Will know what I’m talking about; along with the fact that you should never recycle robots (totes children’s toys). This "what not to recycle" poster is quite possibly the most informing thing to have on a wall. I'm also fairly certain that a Mr. Horatio Smith knows that you're not supposed to recycle robots (like the mention Tammy?), or maybe it’s just limited to robot fish in his case... yeah, I brought up Horatio, it was really Snow problem ;)

Yet more procrastination to come - instead of again doing work and being studious I managed to end up doing my ironing (what the hell) and tidying up my room... im not doing well it would seem! Yeah so after I tidied my room I took a picture of it, just to prove that my room is capable of being cleaned:

Just, A) ignore Henry's feet and B) don't look at my room in like a day’s time, because it will be horribly messy again, it happens and I just don’t know how.

Another thing I did tonight was rearrange the stuff on my pin board; it’s got some amazing stuff on it now and looks so much better! Going with the trend of posting a picture above I feel I need to add another one:

So yeah, this is my catching up of not blogging about random stuff for ages - enjoy and so on.
Bye and stuff, but mostly stay classy x

Getting on the blog

Yes its blogging time yet again! after being particularly lazy (hanging) over the past two days that I planned to post in my blog I feel it’s time that I actually man up and do it. I’ll be sure to get started on my proper lecture notes soon but for now, enjoy. My student loan finally came through on Monday and needless to say, the money instantly went to my head! After trawling around Amazon for a large amount of time looking for only the coolest things to buy (these ended up to be a kids SpongeBob square pants watch and an Official Sesame Street Elmo belt buckle) it became apparent to me that I should probably moderate my spending. Can anyone guess what ended up happening? Correct. I spent more. As the week drags on, filled with more spending (mostly alcohol, which is acceptable) and nights out we arrive at Wednesday. Wednesday was our day off, so in my head it was something like "Ferris Bueller’s Day off" though in the harshness of reality it was more along the lines of me lying in bed... hung over.

So yes, my day off wasn’t exactly production insofar as it was a day I could have been reading. Instead, I foolishly put it off just to be lazy. I later rallied and got down to some light, light reading before again going out to bop at the SU. After Bop I pretty much pulled my first all-nighter at uni, which im not very proud of, mostly because it was just me in bed unable to sleep - so hardcore. After getting like 2 hours of sleep Thursday morning it dawned on me that I had to be awake and "fresh" for a visit to Southampton to see a friend going there and more importantly, shopping.

UNCOOL.

It was pretty much the best day ever to go to Southampton, because of this heat wave we’re currently having - it was a lovely sunny day but it does have its obvious drawbacks; it’s absolutely boiling hot. While in Southampton we took a much needed trip into possibly the greatest shop in the world - Toys 'R Us. It truly is a magical place - I managed to get myself a super-cool SpongeBob note pad. So clearly our outing to Southampton was very productive!

Keep checking for new posts, most importantly my HJC and short-hand lecture notes and more notes from my man Bertrand x
