It's more of a journal than anything else....

Haven' been on GS properly for a while...and I'm still not technically back, but hell I thought I'd make a blog, more for myself than anything....

Uni work has eased up recently, now just revision for some in class exams, and one more coursework, which has a three week deadline and will take 2 hours max! so that's all good. My jobs are going all right, managed to resolve a few issues, the off license still bores the hell out of me.

On a gaming related note, I purchased myself a PS3, thought it was about time I got myself a next gen and thought the PS3 would suit me best due to some exclusives Blu-ray.

Oh, it's also my 20th birthday on the 19th.... not looking forward to it, I have an exam next day so will have to hold off my celebrations, also I will no longer be a teen, and will now have to take resposibility for my actions, and any depression now can not be blamed on teenage hormones

For those of you that have noticed, sorry I haven't been around recently posting on blogs or pm'ing, things haven't been there best family wise recently.

First my Mother was off work for several weeks due to arthritis she then went back to work where she was bullied into retirement by a manager who is now facing a tribunal for this case and others. though it comes to late for my mother. Then my Father had to have surgery on a detached retina that has left him unable to bend over for 3 weeks....so I have been basically doing a lot of housework for everyone, which is something I am not used to!

My older Brother and his fiancee are getting married in June adding more stress on the family with her far wealthier father refusing to pay any of the fees cause my brother is not of the same Christian denomination! Her mother is trying to give as much as she can but she has very little money, and we don't want to put too much financial strain on her....

Work is beginning to get me down I only spend 5 and a half hours a week there now cause uni takes up most of my time, but I still have found time to spark an argument with my boss and some co workers about them taking advantage of my workrate.

My other job is ok, but I can't do more hours a week, and the early mornings are getting to me...

I'm getting stressed, becoming an insomniac, and apparently putting on weight, I'm now 6'2'' and 14 stone....not good!

At least my girlfriend is home for the next two weeks...though how long she will put up with me is another matter, i'm beginning to annoy myself!

I shall finish on a bright note, well done to Wales for the grandslam, I'm glad I managed to see at least one game at the millenium stadium!

Just when life starts heading in the right direction, something happens to alter the course...I've probably had the best few months of my life, and then it all goes downhill...

Things aren't going well in Uni, the early mornings and late finishes due to my commuting is taking it's toll and my work is suffering, I've scraped through the maths and mechanics exams getting the bare minimum and have failed three others, meaning re-sits and more stress...

My job is becoming more and more of a nightmare, i'm being given more hours than I can handle and more responsibility than I signed up for, and i'm not getting the pay increase that other members of staff have for the same responsibilities! I've been told if I have a problem I can leave...but I need the money and there are no jobs anywhere locally...

Tonight was meant to be the last night me and my girlfriend spent together before she went back to Uni, but her friends ended up guilt tripping her into spending it with them cause 'it was the last time they would be together till summer' then they cancelled it at the last minute in favour of thier boyfriends and now it's too late to catch up with her...

I'm fed up off being taken for granted...

I need a holiday somehwere, no hassle, just a beach, some chill out music and a drink..or two...

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Mercury88.
Mercury88 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Mercury88 possibly have for not rating a single film?
