Right, so a slight lack of updates on this blog when comparing to the DK version. Fear not, however, I’ve just been a bit ill with the flu. Before I had the flu this was all that happened: I started back at uni, joined a photography evening class (also at uni) and went for several walks with Martin. Other than that, not so much.
Or actually, at home they made a snowman a few weeks ago. I wanted to upload a picture of it (they emailed me pics, yay!) but completely forgot so here it is. A snow Dalek! Seriously, how cool is that! I’ve been wanting to build one since the first snow fell but I didn’t get around to it while I was home for Christmas and the snow here melted over a month ago. Also, speaking of Daleks, I’ve got a slowly growing collection of them, must take pictures later.
Tuesday night (hours before I was attacked by flu) I went to my previously mentioned Digital Photography class. We were in the studio and took some photos. It was great fun and I got to talk to some of the others. (I’m the youngest in the class and it seems as though it’s quite obvious that I’m a student as opposed to everyone else who’s doing full-time jobs but people are really nice). Didn’t get to take all that many photos as we were about 15 people sharing the light and whatnot but we’re going back to the studio next week so should get some more then.
Of course the next day I woke up with flu, phoned the doctor and was told to stay in bed for a few days. Just great. As far as I know we were supposed to start new projects in all three modules Wednesday/Thursday so it’s not really the best timing but there’s not much to do about it now. Martin came to pick me up so I had someone to bring me soup and take care of me. It helped! I’m very much starting to feel better so should be able to go back to uni next week.

Since last time, nothing impressively interesting has happened. I would have written a little update anyway but my internet died for a few days (I’m at Martin’s just now so it might still be down, who knows?) so there was none of that. Instead I finished a book, watched some films and tidied my room. It needed that.
Went for a walk at Dean Park with Martin yesterday, just because we could. Was lovely and there was loads of squirrels. Later we went to see Avatar. It was amazing. The first thing I said when we came out of the cinema was “I want to see it again!”
Just a week till I start back at uni now so I should probably find out exactly what day I’m going back and what subjects I have. All I know is that it’s sometime in the week starting with 1 February. Actually I thought I knew what subjects I had but read somewhere that they were something else so now I’m not sure which is right. Will have to ask someone about that.
