April 27, 2006
Come on now. It's time to buck up…
…wow – this definitely must be my longest hiatus from blogging. What can I say – it's been a funny old month and a busy one. No excuses, really. So back to our regularly scheduled programming with a brief rundown of the last month…
Good:
– Easter trip home to Ireland with beautiful sunshine and more chocolate than is believable
– Volunteering for Oxfam on Warwick St, Leam – come up and see me, make me smile – and buy a camera, goddammit
– Finding out that lovely Warwick is funding me to take a PhD in Film Studies starting in October
– Taking and passing my theory test after only, er, about eighteen months
– Upcoming trip to Holland for a conference
– Upcoming photo exhibition as part of WSAF - very exciting!
Bad:
– Easter trip home to Ireland coinciding with the ever-stupid 'Titanic: Made in Belfast' festival which galls me every year
– Suspicions that the horrible 'Spam Up' T.V. advert contains footage of a dwarf wearing a cowboy costume
– Mega mega mega virus possibly obtained from hunting through bags of old pants donated to Oxfam (N.B. – please do not donate your dirty underwear to Oxfam. For God's sake)
Here's hoping that all you blogging kids with examiniums coming up do well (whilst simultaneously rubbing my hands in glee at the prospect of no exams any more ever). Proper blog entry later (but probably a Staff/student one, so sign in to read). Until then, a little picture of Fleur by the Costa del Bangor which makes me smile…
