Not all of this blog is public. Comment if we have something in common or something!

If the thought of reading the blog of an irish boy who's into photography, Scanadanavian/Japanese/South-Korean/good music, travelling & various other 'interesting' things, then do as it says above. Several of my blogs are public, but some are friends only locked.  I love meeting new people, and I enjoy feedback/comments from my blogs, and vice-versa for my friends blogs. I regularly update & comment. Etc etc ;)

is on the cards. I'm almost ready to apply, just got to do my PS. Merely an alternative plan depending on the choices available. Just because I don't have wealthy parents paying my whole way through everything shouldn't stop me from going through with this in September/October, given the huge financial support available. I wont change my choices either, London is essential if I want to progress as best as I want to in my career. Dublin was the alternative initially, but their entry requirements are silly. I'll engage more thought into my choices in the Summer.

I drunk coffee for the whole purpose of venting on here for the next hour, now I'm just so aggravated i'm not going to bother. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe after the weekend I'll declare another to-be-failed hiatus. Oh well.

I apoligise I haven't been commenting your entries, I've been busy. "Pretending to be busy" seems like a far more suitable wording. This will be fixed. I got my film coursework out of the way though. Well, the first piece, there is a second piece Ray hasn't gone over yet. I'm just going to go ahead and plan/do it as well though.

So I'm going to go all fanboy on you. I finally watched Hana Yori Dango Final today, I've been looking for it ever since it begun being shown in theatres over in Japan. I was surprised to see it was the highest grossing production in 2008, so I was curious to see if it lived up to its expectations, and I was pleasantly satisfied. HYD is one of my favorite Japanese series along with Kurosagi. The music  soundtrack is beautiful as per usual. Can anyone recommend any recent dramas? Other than Last Friends, I've seen it already. It was quite repetitive.

It makes me feel better putting it here, so that I can look back.
I'll use the money this month for what resits I have to pay for next month, then next month use the money I get to pay for the 50 quid Britney ticket, although unsure as to whether I'm going yet to that. Given how hard it was to get tickets, I should probably seize the opportunity. Yes.
And well, I have no long jacket/coat. I really want
this. I'm looking through Ebay for cheaper equivilants! XD I hate lacking money above 100 quid though...I feel comfortable when it's always above that.

I should be working on coursework >.< Working on getting 2 of this history modules essays done during my 3 hour break tomorrow & Thursday in time for Friday. That'll put me in head for that, be able to do Film & Psychology coursework polished over the weekend, then get those other 2 essays done on Monday.

*Should stop talking about college-related jargon*

Look here for A Level stuff & moaning )

I'm in a bit of a financial struggle. I wish I claimed the last couple of weeks of EMA and the bonus. I never had my politics work completed to get it signed though, but what's done is done (or rather, isn't done). I'll save this month to get my balance up again. I wanted to get an SLR in March, but that will have to wait till June. I'll need money for resits in March, but I don't know which ones I will be resitting, therefore I don't know how much that will be. I also was planning to go to Reading Festival & see Britney Spears, but I don't know about that now...I should try hard to get to Reading. I have important history exams after Britney, so that is probably a no-no. I'm not even a fan [anymore]. I'm tired of that kind of music. Ugh.

On the up side, I did thin my hair the other day. It was successful..I think. I want it to be abit thicker though.

I'm going into town tomorrow to see Tokyo Sonata at QFT, then he's coming up to mine. I look forward to it, it's the first time I'm doing anything social since the exams finished. Need to start of being more social this year.

Next month long task is to sort out my body. Thy will be done. Now I'm going to play some Shenmue II & maybe some Super Mario Sunshine. :3

Wasn't in attendance for film AS exams on Thursday, going to do them in May/June instead. Nazi Germany was just as indifferent as the last time, didn't get the last question done again. I hate source based questions. I felt more confident with the questions I did do though, but I needed to do more thorough revision.

These exams haven't been what I thought they would be like, but now I know how much pressure is on me particularly from March-May. Still, would like to keep the re-re-sits to a minimum. Looks like when it comes to Psychology & nazi germany these are going to be required, but the remaining will be easy if I just focus now on the work I have infront of me. Going to consume as much content as I can tonight. before bed.  Tomorrow & Tuesday will be mainly practise papers which I should have been doing for all of these.

I've been constantly munching on stuff. This is what I usually do when stressed. I checked my weight a few minutes ago...ugh. In terms of my height I am now classified as overweight. Fantastic. I'm glad these are coming to an end so as I can focus on exercising in February. I gotta go to the library on Mondays, tuesdays & fridays since I finish early on those days. Gotta make a habit of it, especially considering I'm going to have 3 A2 history modules in May/June. Getting 4 A's and a C (gcse maths) is going to be an annoying process. I mean I'm not usually one to aim so high, i'm not going to trail my way through this and settle for less. I did that last year and look at the AS results I recieved. My Film lecturer also said that i should aim higher (he seemed to be under the impression i was settling just for the passing grade, which wasn't exactly true). I also feel that I should for the sake of my mum, she's been very generous to me recently especially with all the shit with my brother Aaron these past few months, and the usual trolling with her Fiance Ron.
