Or moderately so... Or... at least doing the whole update thing.
So! Jacob! Me!
First things first, tonight is my last night at uni until October, and my last night living in college altogether. Farewell Josephine Butler college!
My room is all but empty as I've packed everything up, and it's all feeling not like my room anymore, which isn't so hugely fun. But meh.
As I did last year, I've taken photos of my room while it was all in one piece, and I'll upload those as soon as I'm able.
Let's just hope the house doesn't flood on Monday like it did last year, eh?
Next thing: results!
I got my exam results on Wednesday, and overall I got 65% for the year, which is a 2-1, and I'm very proud of myself for getting it. With a little work, I should be able to get myself in line for a first next year. Possibly.
No resits though, so hooray!
I registered for next year yesterday and saw both the slowing moving queue ever (for Physics... which I had to do twice because the guy forgot to sign my form), and the fastest one ever (for SPA... which started at a lecture hall door, wound all the way out of that building's lobby, outside, up the steps, and a good way down the road... and only took like five minutes). The online enrollment process isn't going great (damn you error messages!), but I'm almost there at least.
Third thing: housing!
I went down to the estate agents on Wednesday to confirm I'd been told about the building work that will be going on over the summer, and they showed me the plans for the house when it's done. Wow.
It is going to be *huge*. A six bedroom house split between just three people, and paying no extra for it. It means we get an ensuite each! Bonus!
Fourth thing: PS3!
Has been ordered (along with MGS4) and is on the way! Hoorah!
Fifth thing: fourth edition D&D! (Maybe this should have been the fourth thing... hm...)
4th ed is out, I have my copy, and I've read through a lot of it. It's a really nice system which simplifies a lot of the bloated parts of 3.5 ed, but perhaps oversimplifies (or changes for no good reason) other parts. Bottom line: I'm sticking with 3.5 ed for my ongoing campaigns, but will be running a 4th ed game next year too. Also potentially one online over the summer.
Sixth thing: beard!
I has one. I forget if I actually mentioned this before, but yeah... I have a new photo of myself, and I'll put it up in a little while.
Seventh thing: social!
I went to one. And I wore the full black tie outfit too.
I'm sure you're baffled at this point: "Jacob? At a social?! Madness!"
Well... no. And, in fact, Spartaaaa.
*cough*
It was a fun evening, and it was nice to socialise for once. I *might* have been dragged onto the dance floor at one point however.
Oh, and by dragged, I mean it took three people to tear me off the seat I was on and pull me over there.
There was glaring.
Eighth: Spore Creature Creator!
I've only downloaded the free trial version, but it's still really, really fun. And considering how it's a glorified character generation menu, the whole game is going to be incredible.
I'mma try and upload some pictures of my more... inspired... creations soon.
Whellup, that's all I can think of for now. I'm still baffled as to why my blog stats keep spiking to huge numbers of hits even when I'm not writing, but meh.
