Is captain fantastic.
Still yet to finish tidying my room. Sorting through paperwork at the minute. Not that I've been tidying my room without rest for 3 weeks.
The first year of Uni is close to being over. It's gone a lot better to be expected, even if the term "year" is extremely loose, having only spent about six months in Leicester. Yesterday I finished my final poetry assignment (hooray!) yet I still have to sit the exam (boo!) Hopefully, this will be the last assignment I ever have to do on poetry. One can only hope.
I still have 5000 words to write between now and April 23rd, which sounds a lot scarier on paper (or html) than it actually is. I have three weeks off following the week beginning the 22nd of March in which to do it, and I hope to have actually done most of it before then.
Got a lot to update on the resolutions front. Just to refresh;
* Eat a more balanced diet - urm, failed.
* Exercise 3 days a week (Mon-Sun) - Again not quite up to scratch. Hit the gym hard after Christmas and have dropped a lot of weight, down to about 12 stone from nearly 13 over Christmas. Stopped going a few weeks ago due to work, and haven't put any weight back on, and to be honest, without going to the gym I have a shitload of extra time which I'm putting to use.
* Pass first year at University - Not done yet, but well on the way, no chance of this not happening.
* Read 5 books outside of University work - Where did I get to on this? Ah yes, last I wrote, I'd started reading the first Dark Tower book. This has since been finished, and it was good, but urm, you could tell it was written by a young King. Hopefully the series will get a bit more mature as it goes on. I have actually read all the books I need to for Uni, so tonight I shall start the fifth book of the year, which would bring me up to where I wanted to be at the end of the year. No idea what yet though. Got plenty of King, which I wanted to avoid, and thus am pretty much reduced to Barker of Koontz :/
* Be nicer to Mary - I HOPE I'm doing well here. We've seen each other loads, and had all the normal ups and downs, but the ups have been higher than normal. Also for Valentines day I made her something rather than throwing money at her as I have in the past. Hopefully she appreciates the thought and extra work that went into it. Either way there's still room for improvement, but theres all summer for that.
* Manage money more responsibly - Again, probably a fail, not that I've had too much money yet this year. On the plus side it's a fail cus I'm doing more socialising. And I'm always being moaned at for being anti-social.
* Complete at least 5 xbox games - Completed Dragon Age last week, after a hard slog.That was game 3. Game 4 is also very nearly completed, that being Lego Batman.
* Go to a festival - When my money comes through in the next few days I'm ordering my Download ticket, after finally finding other people who are going. Hopefully going to Sonisphere too.
* Find a place to live next year - Done.
* Write 4 short stories - Not even started, project for the summer.
* Tidy room once a week - Hahahaha. I do a bit of it every week. Does that count? In my defense I was referring more to the one at home and not in Leicester.
* Stop drinking - I went two months, and then forgot why I decided I was going to give up.
* Visit Nan's more - Have done whenever I've come home, Vi anyway, can't remember the last time I saw Audrey :\
* Update this fucker more - Yep.
* Be nicer to Sam - Yup. Been a lot more patient with him. Same as with Mary though, there's room for improvement.
* Fast food just once a month - nope.
So uh, not doing too badly. Not really got anything else to say.
