Sorry I've been so absent lately peeps! Aside from the typical college stuff, I'm partially stressing, partially squeeing about my thesis. :P I have a vague concept now (immersion in video games - that shit is crazy interesting!!) but it really needs to be narrowed down. The 3000 word proposal is due four weeks from now, so I'm currently reading as ( Read more... )

Well I got my exam results today! Passed everything, which is a load of my mind. XD I know I should probably be aiming for higher than a pass, but some of these assignments were so tricky and extremely rushed that at this point, I'm pretty happy with a second class honours. =S In case anyone would like to check out two of our finished projects, ( Read more... )

 Holy crap in a basket!!! XDDDDDD I've just finished watching the season finale of Game of Thrones and... FUCKITY-FUCK-FUCK IT WAS SOOOO EPIC! 8D I mean... JEZUS. <3333 I'll admit, I was left pretty damn bereft and disappointed by the ending of the previous episode, but this one. Holy crap, this one MORE than made up for it. :3 I literally had to ( Read more... )

OH YES!! I finally got the last of my assignments in. XD Celebrate. Good times. COME ON!! x33 Though seriously, the video project burned me out something fierce! Making a film is ridiculously hard work. @.@ And being the producer? Maaaan is that tiring. Didn't help that we were a group of four girls with no mode of transportation other than the bus ( Read more... )

 My friend and I have gotten some thorough experience in casting work this week! We're doing a short film for a final video project this year and held auditions Tuesday and today - we didn't exactly get an overwhelming response from either, but we did discover that you get a far better response when posting an ad on an actors forum, rather than ( Read more... )

This week I partook in some serious eye-torture O_o So... little sleep *flops* Wednesday I was up until 3 going to my college's society awards. It was pretty hilarious actually. There was Game Society (mine), esentially a group of awkward looking pale-faced geeks, surrounded by fake tan'd and glammed up Dance Society and Drama Society XD Funny. Was ( Read more... )

I'm starting to get... more than a little annoyed with my project partner >_> She's probably my closest friend in our course, and I'm paired with her for practically all our projects. I'm only now starting to find this to be serious head-wrecker -.- Don't get me wrong, she's really nice, an unbelievably hard worker, and extremely talented with all ( Read more... )

I'm kind of reeling right now @_@ Not just in disgust, but amazement. I mean... I know Ireland is a freaking backwater country for an endless number of reasons. And I'm speaking as a gal from Dublin (a damn well developed city) - can't even begin to image how much worse it must be in the more rural districts of the country. Yeah, the people can be ( Read more... )

Totally loving my analysing advertising class! :D It's a huge one (there's like, three other courses aside from my own stuffed into the one lecture hall), but still awesome. We've been discussing the representation of men, women, and sex in advertising the last two weeks - it's seriously interesting, and really insane how some of the ads they've ( Read more... )

*cries and head-desks repeatedly*

DDDDDDX<

Ok. Sorry... *pants and tries not to hit computer* Just finished typing up a little mini-rant and... Does this ever happen to anyone else? You spend several minutes of your life to type up a much needed rant. Hit the key to backspace or whatever. You forget you haven't clicked on the text, so instead of ( Read more... )
