Rant A Bit, Cope A Bit

Well, that last post was a bit...um. Dramatic.


Sorry about that.


Anyway, people have started moving into Heathfield now. That's my new residence hall, at the university. I still haven't left to Scotland, and probably won't be able to for another two or three weeks. Visa issues. 


Yeah, I'm missing freshers' week. Which I was devastated by, and cried about. I ranted at the unfairness of it all for ages. But I've kind of adjusted to the news, now. My flatmates seem great (I've met four of the five via facebook), and have assured me that they'll post pictures and keep me updated with what's happening.


I also happen to be missing a week of my course. Which is super awful, even worse than missing freshers', really. Because, see, I apparently need to maintain 'satisfactory' progress on the architecture course to keep my scholarship. And missing the first week, when they introduce you to everything, is going to keep me at a disadvantage.


Ah, well, I'm sure I'll catch up. I hear that the very first class is at the beach. Again, disappointed to be missing that. But there are two architecture undergrads across the hall from me, in the next flat. I'll ask them for help, too. Hopefully, it'll all turn out okay.


The university has been super helpful about it all. I was a bit surprised, actually. Considering the experience I have with Cambridge (the high school, not university, duh), where everything seems to be done late, it was a refreshing change. I think I'm really, really going to enjoy myself at Dundee.


In other news, dad bought me a little camera the other day. I have that massive canon one that he's given me too, but I wanted a normal looking one, because I can hardly take the big one with me everywhere, can I? This one's a little black one, good specs. There was a prettier dark bluish-purple one in the store that I wanted, but Dad pointed out that I would be the only one to see the camera, while others would see the quality of the pictures. Which is true. And the black one was better in that case. And it looks rather sweet. A bit delicate, too. I'm thinking of getting one of those screen protectors that they sell for the Nintendo DS.


Oh, speaking of which, I haven't played Pokemon in AGES. MONTHS. Haha, I should get back to doing that. I made such a big fuss about the fifth generation and all, and now look at me. Poor DS is collecting dust, sitting in a dark corner. 


And speaking of Pokemon, just drifting off topic here - I've been watching anime to pass the time. I mean, I should be in uni by now, but I'm not. So I downloaded like 90-something episodes of this anime called Fairy Tail, and WOAH. Love. It. To. Bits.


I'm such a kid.


Gah, I bet this is all just a coping mechanism for my lack of uni life right now. Yeesh.


I'm off.

Just Chill.

Well, this blog post is actually a few days late. I meant to put this up two or three days ago, but I couldn't be bothered doing the crap I'd need to in order to get this video up here.


Basically, Bruno had been pawing at the door and so I leashed him up and took him into the garden. Only, once out there, he decided to plop down into the grass and fall asleep. I looked at him and thought, well, that lucky bastard. If only I could do that too, you know?


And then I figured, why the hell not? No one's stopping me. The grass is green and clean (I hope), it's a hot summer day, why on earth shouldn't I lie down in the grass next to my dog and just chill?


Well, I'm not stupid. I headed in, grabbed an old cushion and my camera, and then came back out and slept in the grass next to Bruno, my head nicely cushioned, the rest of me at the mercy of whatever bugs were out there.

We stayed out there for ages. It was actually quite nice. Birds flying overhead (I genuinely prayed none would shit on me), Bruno trying to do a full turn (he managed it!), and myself just making sure the dog stayed in the camera's frame. 

In other news, exams have been going okay. I'm not failing, at least, so there's that. *grin*

I've got Physics tomorrow, Mechanics on Thursday, and then the final Biology exam on the following Wednesday. I've high hopes for the Physics paper (I have genuine feelings of love for this one. It's just such a nice paper, you know?), not so high for Mechanics, but I'm working on it. And Bio? Bah. Bah, I say.

My fanfiction days have dwindled to nothingness. I blame the exams, of course, and other stressing issues. I fully plan to get back to it as soon as the 1st of June is over. That's the day, after all, that high school officially ends for me.

Also, I've gotten back into watching some anime. Not the usual romantic drivel I used to favour. Nowadays, I'm watching stuff like Deadman Wonderland, The Blue Exorcist and Sekai'ichi Hatsukoi.

Of these, Deadman Wonderland is actually very gore-y, but also very, very good. Really makes you think, wince, feel and all. The Blue Exorcist is pretty funny. You burst out laughing in the very first scene.

And Sekai'ichi Hatsukoi is by the same group that did Junjou Romantica, so I'm watching it out of loyalty to them. And, it's really really cute. =3

And really, I should be studying. But screw it. I can't be assed.

Ta.
