Need to update this thing more often... damn life...
Well here I am again, hope you all didn't miss me too much! hehehe...
Yeah things have been hectic here in the world of unistudent. Family dramas, school work ups and downs and not to mention the housemate circus I'm also enduring. Who would hvae thought the year 2005 would be so damn eventful! It's not even halfway through the year and already I have enough stories to tell. It's so weird, but also good as I am a writer. Though none of the dramas I'm experiencing would make good stories or anything, but hey, we need something to look back on and laugh at... right? Hello? Guess I'm wrong :S
So it's been what, 2 months since I last updated this journal thing? Right, well let's see. I guess I'll start off with WaT stuff, as that seems to take one of the forefront positions in my life. I have completed many fics since March and have managed to cross the 100 MS fic milestone! WOO HOO! I was so ecstatic about that. It shows I need more hobbies and such, but it's still great. I can't believe I've written so much for just a regular old show. But I still have my 20 non-any TV show related novels I've written, so it seems pretty even for me :P I think I'm up to 105 fics with WaT now, and have finished 'Shiver', 'Plea For Redemption' and 'Looking For Time 2', but almost the minute I finished them, along came my little muse (who is now locked in a tower for a few million years :P) and I have recently started 'Without a Clue', 'On Second Thought...', 'Looking For Time 3' and am rewriting the work SamSpade helped me with 'Escaping the Dark' as what we wrote was about a million pages long (I'm not wrong honi, you know us and writing :P) and am simplifying it down. But full credit still goes to her :)
On the school side of things I guess it's still a very busy time. Second year is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have homework coming up to my ears. Editing is hard but it seems easier doing the mock workplace thing. I don't mind it that much. I'm co-author of the book we're editing that's been written already, so my role is to just do a whole lot of signing on "forms". It's a great process and I'm nervous about it, but so far things are going well. My Myths and Symbols teacher still wants to kick me, for what reason I don't know. I had him last year and all I did was mention going out for drinks once (as we were going out for the end of one of our classes to a pub with my teacher and other classmates) and he immediately labelled me the 'Drunk from Hoppers Crossing'. Now he calles me Barnsey (as last name is Barnes) and when we were watching 'Chocolat' for an assignment, he sat next to me and threatened to kick me and my chair numerous times. He's not serious though and it's just all in fun, but still... I don't know, I'm not complaining! I love teachers that are human too :)
Um, still school wise Screenwriting is awesome! The teacher still hasn't read over my synopsis yet, but that's okay. Though she wants our first draft of our script in by the 14 of July. That's about 6-7 weeks to write about 90-120 pages for a feature film script. I think I need my synopsis back to see if it's good enough. I pray it is. So far from what I've told her it's interesting, but we'll just have to see. I'm so nervous! But I'm going to start work on it this weekend, just to get its little feet off the ground. I've never written a script before, so it should be interesting too :) And at Mt. Helen uni things are fine except from the fact I recently failed one assignment. The lecturer assured me it doesn't mean I'll fail the unit as I got a credit on the first assignment (step above a pass) but still, I'm going to work my ass off for the last assignment (worth 50% of whole unit's mark, eep!). And with Fantasy... got how boring. I hate fantasy stuff! I'm not a sci-fi person! I just don't get it! And our last book had a rape scene in it, it was horrible. A lepor raped a virgin. Not a nice thing to read (it's called 'Lord Foul's Bane', really horrible). Now for that subject I have to draw a picture representing the fight our conscious has over doing write and wrong. Any ideas anyone?? I'm totally stumped :S
On the family front things are okay. My sister is still causing trouble by not staying at home. She isn't going to Queensland with the school camp like I did, but demanding the $500 it would cost anyway to spend on crap. Mum's not giving it to her, and I say GOOD. She has no right to ask for that! If she doesn't go, she doesn't go. Simple. Her choice. Mum rings me up all the time asking if what she's doing with my sister's situation is right, and so far I've backed her 100%. I really wish I was back home sometimes to help out. Especially since Dad pulled a muscle in his back. We thought he'd have to have surgery as he's been lying down for nearly 2 weeks in excruciating pain. But he's going to be fine in a week or so. I was so worried about him and considered going home, but it seems things are fine :) PHEWPH says I!
Anyhoo, must get back to... homework, writing fanfiction, talking to annoying friend on msn (aaron you little biatch) and just live my over-exciting life to the full... in this 11 degree weather, bloody cold! No way am I going outside today, no matter what... hehehe... Enjoy life people! xx
