The story of a bored individual...

There was actually an ad in the paper today! Okay, not a 100% what I was looking for, but involves camera work and editing, so I sent an application. It's as a substitute at th local news channel, so I need to tap in to some of my journalism education. It was never something I exelled at, but I'm giving this a shot. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! ;P

So cross you fingers that I at least get an interview. 

I haven't been to good at updating lately, but finally got the editing system working, so have been working at it like crazy. Hmmm, well I left off last Friday afternoon, so I'll take it from there. ( Weekend )

( Monday & Tuesday )

Ok, can't write more right now. I apologize for any spelling mistakes, but am very tired and head is in pain. Will try to write more tomorrow, and that will include my review of The Phantom of the Opera.

 

 

Had a good day, not that I've done much. Just put out the icons for you guys, hope you like them, are in the previous post.

Have gotten positive reactions to the christmas presents I gave this year, which is very nice. :) Isen and beluga  loved their signed copies of "There and Back Again, an actors Tale" by Sean Astin. Knew Isen would love it, as she wanted the book, the sell for beluga  would be the signature. They were both really happy.

Still waiting for some other feedback, but that might have to wait until morning.

I got a lot of cool stuff this year. My parents got me a editing program and a web-camera for the computer, which rocks! So now I'll be editing my films like mad when I'm done with my exams in January, and get the moth off. :)

Got a headset with a microphone for the computer from aunt and uncle in Poland, also much needed.

Aunt in Germany got me a cute sweater, mittens and really soft scarf.

My cousin cave me a funky rock, that you put on this thingy, and it changes color. Very pretty, I like stuff like that.

beluga  got me a very nice top and the first two books in the LiveShip trilogy, muchly appreciated. Love Robin Hobb's writing, and need something to do in London after christmas since I only have one day of school a week. She also gave me some X2 clippings

Ivy got me the Keane - Hopes and Fears CD, very nice and calm music. She also gave me a framed picture of me holding her son, when he was only a month old. Really sweet.

Isen gave me a Glitter Lamp and Schindler's List  on DVD, actually never seen the entire film, so am looking forward to it.

Camelia gave me a Toblerone bar and the Van Helsing DVD. Gonna watch it soon.

I also got a fondue set from some acquaintances of my parents, very cool. Will test it out soon.

 

That's it for this year, very pleased. My parents loved the stuff I'd gotten them. I gave them two pressies each, my mom was worried that I'd spent too much. Silly. Might write more tomorrow, shold actually be focusing all my energy on the second essay this week, so we'll see how far I'll get tomorrow. :)

HAVE A NICE WEEK!

 

First of all, to the people who have requested icons off me. As I told you, you'll get them for christmas, as I have no access to the proper icon making tools right now. They should be up and ready for you on Christmas eve at the latest.

In other news: I'm going home tomorrow!!! YAY!

In other news, I got passing grades on my essays, and the teacher said that no one flunked the presentation part. My grades might not be praise worth, but I'm just happy as long as I pass. I have a great suck-fest of an essay to write over christmas, and really don't think I should be shooting for anything else than a pass, as I barely get the questions... think I need a break.

We were supposed to finish editing our film yesterday, but had complications in the last minutes so I have to go in after class today and finish it. Luckily, we won't be marked down for it as we were never told the correct way to save the stuff we lost.
I probably won't be in for more than 30 mins, is kind of a good bad thing, as it will kill the time waiting until I can go to bed tonight and get off home tomorrow.

Might hang out with Benedicte this afternoon, she wanted to go to Chinatown, am thinking the weather is looking bad, so will see if we can do something indoors.

Still haven't got payed for the video thing, there's a bunch of paperwork to be filled out and crap. And whe the woman who's supposed to help doesn't bother coming in I'll probably not get paid until next year at the rate this is going. Yesterday she was sick, I was in an hour ago asking for her, and they told me she'd call when she got in... that was at 0900... it is now 1007 and still nothing. England really is the land of paperwork and making shit complicated.

Right now the only thing I can focus on is going home, am so sick of this place right now... will write more when I get home.

After my last post I was pretty much ready for bed, was really tired... but ended up watching the last hour of "Kill Bill vol. 1" in the study room with some people. Should rather have continued chatting with beluga .

Thursday was a long day at school we did some editing, actually think I'm about finished, just have to get the teacher to have a look at it, tell me that it's all wrong, and give it another try. :P
In the evening I was not in the mood to do anything special, ended up back in the study room and watched "Kill Bill vol. 1" again. This time there were more of us, and I just love some of the reactions they had. Especially to the last line in the movie, think they were ready to run to the cinema to watch "Vol. 2".
Afterwards Jan, me and Camelia started watching "Storm Riders", a chinese fantasy, film. Jan left in the middle since he had to go to work the next morning. Me and Camelia watched the whole thing. Must admit that I was bored out of my mind for the first 30mins of the movie, but then it got a bit interesting, very simple movie, but I liked some of the effects.

Yesterday I got my period and spent most of the day in bed, was totally wiped out. Tried doing some work on my essay and have about 400 words now... out of the required 2000, still have 17 days to finish it tho.
In the evening Camelia went out, I watched telly: "EastEnders", "My Family", "Friends", "Will and Grace" and "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross". Jonathan Ross was interviewing Clive Owen, who's playing Arthur in the upcoming "King Arthur" movie. He's one of the people who's been tipped as the next Bond. He might actually be able to do it, but I'm not to keen on him... it's not like when I heard Pierce was getting the role and thought "perfect!".

Today I slept late, just took it easy. Had a quick trip out to buy some goodies and top up my phone. So far that's it for today.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to feel good enough to go up to Milton Keys, to CM5. Had half a mind to not go, but have promised Isen to get 3 autographs for her, so I don't want to let her down.
