So I know this is a bit late in arriving, but I have been quite busy these past few weeks. The main thing is I've started University, which is a pretty big deal. I'm at Sheffield Hallam doing a Film and Media Production course. So far it seems good, not had many "real" lectures yet but we've had several inductions and been given our first assignment.

The people I live with are really nice, which helps. I have S.A.D, meaning I find it hard to connect with other people and cope in social situations, so, knowing that the people I have to live with for a year will shape my Uni life in many ways, it puts my mind at ease a little to know that I can learn to be myself around them, something that does not come naturally.

I also spent the weekend in London with my Mum and sister, who I hadn't seen since I moved into my student halls a couple of weeks ago. It was very tiring, what with the several galleries and a Shakespeake play at the Globe which I unfortunately missed half of because I wasn't feeling well (it sounds a bit pathetic, but I've had "freshers' flu" as well as a cold that has hung on for about a month). But we also spent a bit of time just wandering around London, which I much prefer than rushing around trying to fit in galleries and get to the theatre on time. Due to this stress I often forget when I'm there how much I like London, but I am reminded by doing something as simple as successfully navigating the Tube (as long as it's not busy, because that's horrendous) or wandering among some of the beautiful archtecture in the cold, clear sun. (Sounds a bit cheesy, but it's true). :)

So that was good. Otherwise I've just been trying to sort out the boring stuff. Opening bank accounts with a free overdraft, trying to get the CD drive of my laptop fixed, etc. I have now got a job, of sorts, delivering catalogues and collecting the orders, then delivering the products to the door. It's the kind of job where you're paid commission; i.e. you get out as much as you put in, but I'm hoping that by doing 3 or 4 stints a week I can make a few extra ££s, helpful since there's a problem with my student loans and I'm quite short of money at the moment.

I've also joined a few societies - there was a fair where groups set up stalls and you signed up to whatever you fancied - including the Music Society (had a social meeting last week), the Amnesty International Society (missed the first meeting tonight because of my job interview), the Animation Society, and the Mario Kart Society (first meeting on Wednesday for chats, games and giggles). I can't think of any others, so I'm guessing they aren't that important. :)

A result of all this crap and confusion is that I haven't managed to write anything much since I finished Salem, which was in itself long overdue, and I've done a few sketches that are as usual not worthy of putting up. Not sure whether I'll have less or more free time as the year progresses; we'll just have to see.

That's it, really. This is a bit longer than I expected, it's late and I still have to put away my washing and make my bed, so I'll call it a day. Night night!! xx

I know this is odd to ask, since its so old, but can you make another chapter for the alien 2.5 thing? I love it! xD Please respond!!
:iconselene-47:
Omigod! I wish I could, been meaning to update it since forever...but I'm so busy at the moment with starting Uni in 3 weeks, and I'm moving house so there's tons to do, plus I was kind of trying to start some of my own stuff instead of fan fictions even though I love writing them...but I will almost definitely try and do something in the future. Promise!
P.s. Thanks for asking :D
