Wow, it's been a while.
Since I last posted I have:
.Gone out and got very drunk
.Been back home for the weekend
.Got lost in the countryside
.Been horribly ill
.Read 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' (pretty good)
.Watched the newest James Bond film (rubbish)
.Done absolutely no coursework
.Got a place on an exchange year in Spain next year (can't wait for that)
.Re-installed Windows (what a fucking bitch that was)
.Rediscovered bacon
...amongst other things.
But now I have a coursework due in on Thursday, for which I haven't decided on a title yet. So here I am, procrastinating once again.
It's good to be back!
