Satelite 5

So it's 2012 already. Year of the Olympics and the Diamond Jubilee, my baby brother ceasing to be a teenager and me ceasing to be a student. 2011 was a strange, peculiar and busy year, and 2012 promises to be much the same.

I'm just about to enter my last term of university. I have my dissertation to do by April, and two essays due in next Friday. Next term I'll be studying Eco-tourism and Managing A Diverse Workforce. I'm really looking forwards to this, but it's going to be heavy going I suspect.

As a reult, I'm putting all fic on hiatus until uni is done. I'll probably keep updating infrequently, but I'm not going to sign up to big bangs, bingos, exchanges or anything else. If I write, I'll write, but it's going to be a lot less frequent than it has been. Feels a bit weird. Fic has been my life for so long. I have plenty of ideas for when I come back, and hopefully it'll flow a bit easier with a break as well.

On the plus side, pretty much everything else is going on hiatus as well. I need to be more sensible with money, but not having time for trips will help with that, but I've decided that I am allowed to do what I like with my free time this term. Eat what I like, play Sims when I want to, flomp on Lali lots, that sort of thing. Don't know yet how much free time I'll have, but I intend to make the most of it rather than stressing myself out with more deadlines.

So there's that. I'm now going to do some uni work, then meet Lali in town to collect my phone from her and get some more textbooks for yet more uni work. I have left the two essays a bit late, but I get 2 weeks of nothing after they're done.

Probably see you in two weeks, in that case.

Does anyone want to come and see S Club Party with me at Butlins? 23-26 September, £89 per person for a full weekend?

Wanted!

It looks crazy when I put it like that.

I don't get to chat with you all often enough, so this is a chat post. Pull up a chair, grab a plate from the buffet and a drink from the bar and have a natter.

Anyone following the cricket? Are England going to win this one or will the weather force a draw?

Does anyone think that the purple is a bit... purple?
I'm going to try writing my own layout whilst I'm on exam leave. I should have enough CSS nous to do that after a term of web design, surely?
