Well having been back at uni proper for almost a month now I can honestly say that MSc's are seriously mind-bending... and we've only just been set coursework.
Now things that have been established:
Flatmates: Well there are now 8 of us on my floor, for a while ther was only 6 but we've had 2 new arrivals to fill out the no shows rooms, currently ther's me, Laura (who'se Spanish), Sofia (from Greece) Lucia (From the Czech Republic), Yosuke and Kyoko (from Japan), Grace (from Tiwan) and Raul (from India). They're all really nice people and very quirky in their own ways.
Lecturemates: Raul (the guy I ive with), Indris (another indian guy), Aude (an english chick), Tendai (who'se from sunny Zimbabwae... I think thats how you spell it ) again all nice, all mad.
Gigs: well I finally have my site fully up to date and everything, its had a full make over and soon we'll be adding scrolling pictures to ease up on the amount of space things take. If you've not been there already then this is my website. Recently I've seen Enslaved, Zyklon, 1349, Satyricon, Keep of Kalessin, My Dying Bride, Onlsaught, Insomnium, Vried, Brainstorm, Mael Mordha, Spellblast, Machine Men and Omnium Gatherum so there's plenty of reading there. Seeing Red Harvest next Friday too and best of all I secured a 3 day ticket to Inferno 2007 with Immortal headlining! Fuck Yeah!
General: Well I've managed to accumulate 6 in library fines already... Other than that calling the misses was a nightmare, we got a net phone from Tesco only to discover it wa sdefectiive after her mother had thrown out the recipt... So I'm using internaional calling cards as a way of keeping in touch (we can only call freephone numbers from our hall's phone). I've been struggling to listen to all the CD's I got in the aftermath of Golden Lake'[s demise but I'm somehow managing it, got new Xasthur and Amon Amarth too. I also (in case you haddn't noticed on the Black/Death forums) have been plugging and pre-ordering the new Negura Bunget album which sounds incredible from the promo track on Code666's myspazz. I'm also working on 2 new Demo's with my ambient project and trying to actually record the one I finished 4 months ago... My Brother's past his Driving test and got a great new job with Egg (the credit card company) both on the same day too so he's hapier than he has been in ages. Roxy's freaking out about Uni even though she doesn't have to choose her first choice for another 5 months... LOL ah well... I alsofeel intelectually intimidated by more and more people as of late but I'm generally not so dperessed these days.
Work: Well I'm sorted on my Dissertation, I'm doing an anlysis on why people value certain species over others when it comes to conservation, it'll be a simple survey with lots of cool animals and plants involved so that'll be fun... although I have to do 15-20000 words... Other than that I have Statistics, Ecological Methods, Ecology of Threatened Species and Principles of Ecology in lectures (you can have a guess as to what we do in them...).
Currently on rotation:
Amon Amarth: With Oden on our Side
Centinex: Hellbrigade
Shining: IV The Eerie Cold
Skepticism: Ethere
The Legion: Unseen to Creation
MP3's by Negura Bunget, The Axis of Perdition and StrommoussHeld.
Oh and another random Youtube clip, ok you probably know the story here but HIGNFY just makes it all the much funnier... Enjoy:
How is all?
