• You know what?
  
  Fuck it.
  
  I'm going to start posting here again.
  
  Not often, mind, but now and then.
  
  I don't have anything big to say, really, but I feel like updating everyone on what's up with me. I don't know why. And, frankly, if you don't want to read any further, then you don't have to. I'll probably never know anyway. So it's allll good.
  
  Right then!
  
  First things first, I've nearly finished my second year of Uni. MY SECOND FUCKING YEAR. In one year's time, I'll be done. Out in the big wide world, waiting for graduation. (Yes, I will have to wear one of those silly robe/hat combos, and yes the photos will be up on Facebook for people to point and laugh at.) That really is crazy.
  
  I've enjoyed this year though. Basically everything I've learnt/written I've gained some enjoyment out of. Which is great. I've written a couple of stories that I'm incredibly proud of. Perhaps I'll post them up over the summer, if anyone wants? That'd be cool :)
  
  Anyway, I'm starting my final year project soon. It's an 8000 word creative piece. It's (hopefully) going to be a zombie story set in a Nineteen Eighty Four-style world, told from the perspectives of several characters. It's based on one of my highest-marked stories of the year, so I'm hoping for great things. Especially as I have a year to do it. Fingers crossed it'll be awesome.
  
  I have no idea what I'm going to do when I leave, though. I'd love to be a writer, but I get the feeling I might not be good enough. We'll see. I want to do a bit of traveling in between finishing and when I graduate, anyway. Hopefully tour America. That'd be cool. I'm going to NYC with a couple of friends for our 21st birthdays, so we'll see what happens, eh?
  
  Home life's cool too. Well, as cool as it ever was and ever will be. I think I'm *too* attached to my family, actually. I could do with a little more independence. It's not them being clingy, I guess it's me not letting go. Probably because I don't really have anything/one else *too* cling to. But hey ho. Whatever Trevor. (I've probably depressed everyone now. Whoops! :P)
  
  I have an iMac now. It's awesome. I'm typing from it as I...type. Yup.
  
  Actually, finally getting a new computer has inspired me to go back to The Nexus. Anyone remember that? It was a massive story I started writing waaaay back when I first started on Xanga. I got the first volume of it done (although, looking back, it's dreadful) and then sort of got waylaid with college and Uni during the writing of the second. The story's still in my head though. I've begun again from scratch, and I think it's much much better already, even though I've only written about two and a half thousand words. Undoubtedly I'll have to put it aside once I get started on my FYP, but we shall see. Oh yeah, and even though that rhymed, I still suck at writing poetry. Whoops.
  
  Anyway, while I'm looking forward to finishing Uni for the summer in some ways, I'm dreading it in others. After Wednesday (and one other day, I think, that I'm unsure of at the moment) I won't have to go back until the 28th September. Woooaaaahhhh. That's a long time, that. I need to get a job, quite badly. I've applied at, like, four or five places so far but no-one's gotten back to me. I don't really hold out that much hope: if graduates are struggling finding full time jobs, how on Earth am I gonna find a summer one? Ah well. Let's see how it goes. At least I can get lots of writing and research done, if nothing else.
  
  I think that's it for now. I'll post back in a few weeks. If anyone wants to leave any suggestions for what I should do over the summer, where to find a job, any of that lark, then let me know. Or if you just want to write a comment to say hello. That'd be nice :)
  
  Take care y'all! :D
