Posted September 9, 2006 It's not that there is booze. I'm fine with booze. I'm just rather taken aback by the minds that seem desperate to fill every facet of life with it. I have nightmares that I'm going to walk into college on my first day and have my body crushed by the wall of booze flowing out of the elevator in a slightly bizarre homage to Stanley Kubrik by the film students. I want to live! I love you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 12, 2006 What bio units are you thinking about? well i only have one free space that is optional as i'm doing it with jap which is 40 points, then 70 compulsory points so i need one more unit to make it up to 120 and i chose genes, evolution and development. thats all the compulsory units for straight biology btw-but i love genetics anywho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 13, 2006 Well, off to Sheffield on Saturday. I think I should start packing.. Ok here's what you do: On Monday night, go to a place called The Leadmill near the train station. before you go text MILL SHAG (in caps) to 85010. this shall get you inside for the measley cost of £1. that's right. £1. Once you are inside, drinks are 60p. that's right. 60p:) oh, and ignore the two main rooms. the biggest plays chav dance, the other plays haircut indie. there's a bar room to the right of the entrance that opens up at about 11:30 that plays amazing electronica and dance kinda stuff. Head my words young apprentice and thank me there by buying me a beer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2006 shag night at the leadmill is awesome. also look out for the bands that play there cos its probably one of the best places in sheffield for live music, apart from possibly the grapes, plug and the octagon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only like the little bar room, but just being in there is making it my current favourite night out. This week was sureal though. at one point I was pretty much dancing on my own to Toxic in a drunken state. ahh, good times. edit: and yes, the music there is great. I have tickets for We Are Scientists on the 212st October. Hot Chip are playing The Octagon on the same night which is a shame as I'd love to see them.

Posted September 14, 2006 I'll be starting at University of Hertfordshire on the 23rd doing 3d games art. I've got in contact with someone who is on the digital animation course from http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk. So we've been chatting on msn and stuff and we'll be living next door in halls rooms aswell. I've not concerned about not knowing anyone really, and because of being a few years older than most freshers, I'll most likely be less nervous than alot of other people who are around that 18/19 age..............but that may change when I get there. Here's the poster from the freshers fortnight at Hertfordshire. Looks like there's plenty going on. I'll def be seeing Hundred Reasons, and hopefully Live Dirty Sanchez if I get tickets.

Seriously. I'm sure we can arrange to meet up at some point. We're going to be at Domino House from this weekend. I've only been once and that was to check the uni out last year. When do you move in? Would you like to meet up for a gaming sesh on the 'cube at mine at all? I've yet to play shorty either, and between us we have the usual tirade of partay games like monkey balls, smash bros, timesplitters2, f-zero... I have a nicely sized telly for this sort of thing!
