Going Out

Well now, it is well known that it is rare for me to be found out of bed and particularly out of my pyjamas on an evening however tonight I shall be breaking that tradition. I am the President of the South Park society at uni and tonight we are having a social. We are going to the Graduate in Sheffield, a pub. I know, shocking right? I really hope people turn up though, otherwise the shedding of pyjamas and the braving of icy pavements will be for nothing. I'll keep you posted.

Had a lecture and seminar today - Children's Literature, looking at Alice in Wonderland. I'm also happy to report my classes were sorted out and I have been put into an earlier seminar so it wont affect my teaching yey. I'm glad cos I really did want to go to these seminars, I have been really enjoying the books. Today i finished listening to the Northern Lights audio book and I am almost finished The Secret Garden. I am ahead on my reading for uni which feels so good.

Organisational Nightmare

So, I am currently waiting to hear from my course leader about whether or not I will be able to switch seminar groups. Basically i am doing a module called Writer as Teacher where I go into a school once a week and take an English class. I am also taking a Children's Literature module and this is where the problem starts. I am supposed to be in an 11:30am seminar that finishes at 1pm. This would be all well and good if the only time the school were able to take me on wasn't 1:05pm. The school is about 40mins away on the bus so you see my problem. Anyway I really want to be able to go to the seminars so at the moment I am just waiting and hoping.

I have been told I should get adsense on my blog, but I really don't know, I just don't trust giving my bank details to the internet lol. I guess I will think about it.

C was over this weekend and we watched the last Jurassic park (after he managed to talk me into watching the first a few weekends ago and then I bought him to box set for his birthday). The third wasn't great but oh well. We have also been really big on The Office US, which I really wasn't expecting to like.

Anyway that's all for now. I shall attempt to post again and to try keep up the one a day posts :)

So, You Like Games, Huh?

Ok so lets skip the "I'm so sorry I haven't posted" posts and go straight to something I want to flag up. The main thing is a blog for a game currently in development - Forlorn 2. See blog here. Don't be put off by the 2, I haven't played the first one either but I fully intend on playing the second. Keep checking the blog for updates on how the development is going, and they need all the support they can get so go on, follow, comment, show your love :)

Secondly I am going to start trying to find the time to get this going again because last year I did a big push at trying to help new students and I think I am going to do the same thing again, so check back soon for more updates, discussions, insights into student life and my general rambling.
