It has been a while since my last blog as I have hardly been online recently due to a rather hectic life.   I have decided to start having subheadings in my blog so you can skip past the bits you don't want to read (I know how tedious it can be to read through streams of text to find anything you may have an opinion on.)

University!

   Since we last spoke I have been up to Manchester for an interview for Uni and it was odd to say the least, as I am applying for physics, everyone I spoke to was a real geek, I know this may be a little hypocritical coming from some one who has 20 games consoles and a load of Star Trek on DVD but at least I have decent people skills, the majority of the other applicants there couldn't hold a decent conversation and the rest were the arrogant, over competitive types that tried at every opportunity to put others down.    The other applicants weren't the worse part, the professors were even geekier, of the three I spoke to one was extremely eccentric and lept out of his seat every four minutes to make overly exuberant gestures using his entire body, another had appalling dental hygiene and you could easily smell his breath from a meter and a half away but the worst was the professor who interviewed me, she was so bad around people that I think that she was more nervous about the interview than I was and she could not maintain eye contact!     All in all Manchester seemed like a great place and all of the students there said they really enjoyed it so I would really like go there next year unfortunately, although they did offer me a place, I need to get AAA at A level which means an A in chemistry which doesn't seem all that likely at this particular moment.

Chemistry!

   As you may recall from a few blogs ago, I was carrying out my chemistry investigation but I ran out of time due to time away in Manchester and a few extra exams I had to sit for my Oxford application, I also decided to change what I was investigating half way through as I wasn't getting any good results.    As a result of this, my investigation has run into my free time, all of my free time, chemistry now takes up all of my free periods, I didn't have one lunch break last week and I can often be found working away after many of the teachers have gone home but I hope to be finished in the next week .

Gaming!

   In gaming news it may not be long until I receive my Wii (depending where I am on the list at play.com) and I am looking forward to it more than I thought I would be but I still have no idea how I going to connect it to the Internet and half its value for me is in the virtual console.

Also, I have picked up Fable:TLC again, despite its short comings, it is still a very good game and one that you can just put on for a few minutes, have fun killing a few enemies and then turn it off.

Bring on guitar Hero II! I just wish I could afford to but it. 

Emblems!

   Unfortunately since I last logged on I have received another emblem, don't get me wrong, I do like having the pretty badges (although I have never gone out of my way to get them) but it looks much prettier when all your rows are filled.    I have bought a load of games over the last few months that aren't on my list so I will update it soon and that may get rid of the 'Good Taste' emblem.    Does anyone know what my new emblem has to do with anything? I haven't yet checked around to see if others have it but  just in case you haven't, here is its description;

"Turkey Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey 2006 Turkey Turkey Turkey "

weird eh?

Speak to you all soon
