It’s been a while

since I blogged!
I would say that it’s because nothing has really happened. Which is sort of true, I suppose, but here goes anyway. A random assortment of things that I have done recently.
The exhibition we put on went very well =] The website I put together (<< looky looky) seems to have survived without breaking (a minor miracle). More importanty the private view was a roaring success. Although we did drink most of the wine and beer before it actually began. So in general all our work was very well received! So that was all rather excellent, and very good fun to organise, in hindsight.
We’ve had a swap of housemates in our house. Someone moved out and has been replaced by someone I met on the Arran trip. We were all slightly horrified to see cascades of mould running down the walls behind our ex-housemate’s cupboards. How he’s been living in such a mouldy hole of a room for a year I really don’t know! Anyway, thanks to some rather wonderful Detol action, the walls are now clean and the room is very fresh. Now she just has to put up with living in a house with four boys for a year =] Poor soul.
I got a lil’ remote control plane which is ridiculously fun. Do you still have yours Toby?
Finished the uni year and got my results a few days ago, I managed to average 70.38 so just scraping a 1st for my FdA Pro. Photography (curses that it’s not a real degree anyway…) =] This means that all of my BA is marked just on what I do next year, no marks are carried over. So next year is going to be pretty damn stressful I think xD
I should be writing drafts of my ‘research project’ (we’re not allowed to call it a dissertation, because it’s NOT apparently.) but I just haven’t gotten round to it… I’ll start soon… once I’ve decied what to do…
Just come back from a family holiday in the Forest of Dean. Pretty good as far as family holidays go =] I dragged the parents out on a bike ride. Oh and there was a place called Puzzlewood, which was amazing. It’s a very very LOTRy forest, all gnarly trees, and there’s wooden bridges, and chasms in the rock, because it was an open cast mine. Very cool indeed. If you like trees. And rocks. And moss. And I do! So bplpl.
Now I’m back off visiting Cambridge for the weekend, but looking forward to the Quasar fest next Sunday! Hopefully seee you all theere? And when else are people around for some sort of coffee-themed gathering? Or house-centred gathering?
Have fun, folks =]
What do you mean nothing has happened?! Pah! Seems like you’ve been v busy to me!! Toy planes are fun. Damian has a toy helicopter which is excellent and, rather ingeniously, doubles up as a fan in the hot weather
I’m please your exhibition went well. Two years of uni finished already?? That’s madness!
I’m glad you managed to find a new housemate, and extra bonus that it’s someone you already know and like – yay =)
and congratulations on your first! I have every faith that you’ll do just as awesomely next year, if not better.
sounds like you’ve been having a very good holiday so far indeedy. I’ll hopefully see you and the others on sunday if I can make it to quasar (need to check with the parentals because they’re already doing lifts for t’other siblings that day)
see you all soon one way or another! (one way…or another…I’m gonna find ya…I’m gonna getchagetchagetcha one way…)

Hey ho John. The website looks really good, nicely done. A new housemate should be exciting, I’m on the reversal of that as I’m the one moving out of my house. Also well done with the 1st, excellent work.
Still got a small plane but its currently stuck in a collapsing cupboard and may well not be airworthy anymore
Hurrah for holidays that are LOTR-esque. Tammy and I recently went away to the Lake District, less foresy but more wet
See you Sunday
