Is..it? Yes it is! An update! Apologies for the complete radio silence, but time has not been on my side since starting my final year at uni. Yet, i have time to check up on elljay everyday. Strange that :P.
So, 2-3 months is a bit too long to recap everything, so i'll try to be short.
Uni has been insane. In the membrane! I have been working constantly, trying to juggle my personal project, dissertation, group work, degree show commitments and other things. My personal project is going okay...but I am uncomfortably behind schedule. I contribute this to our group project. My group is a great one (half of my friends are in it) and the project we've had so far (TV ident) was an ace brief. Everything just went a little crazy after we were told constantly different deadline dates by a new tutor, Gustavo. The project's all over now, but still...ever so slightly annoying. Back to the personal project, i've just begun the exciting 'making' phase. Set painting, wire bending and latex layering ahoy.
Despite the overwhelming amount of uni work, other things have happened too. Lots of trips to see Isaac, witnessing the Guillemots and DJ Shadow live (both amazing), an awesome final Halloween in Hull with Hayley and Kayum, trips to London and York and a few nights out. Although, now that i'm way into my film, i'm frequently becoming more of a recluse than i already am. Ooh er.
As i mentioned before, I am home for Christmas and happy! It's really nice being around my family again and being abused by Casper. Met up with Claudy today too and it was fab! Chats and shopping occured! I've yet to meet other people, but i think some sort of event may be happening this weekend. Ooh, there's intrigue in this entry!
Also, i'm having a birthday party! My first one since i was 11! I turn 21 soon and my sister turns 19 relatively near this, so we're having a joint birthday party. To be honest, it's more of my sisters affair (i do not have that many friends) but i'm sure it'll be fun. There's bands, food and all other sorts of fancy pants things. I even have Hayley, Adam, Isaac and hopefully Dave staying around my house too. Excitement! The thought of turning 21, however, is not exciting.
I feel proud of my ability to restrain my urge to ramble incoherantly. I'm off to sleep now. Hopefully, updates will be more frequent in the future (as well as photo's of past things when i'm back in Hull)!
