Coursework, Dr.Who, Battle Royal and Sunburn

Well since my update last on Tuesday I have pretty much been doing coursework and mowing the lawn which was a hell of a lot of hard work I can tell you. Still on the plus side I've pratically got my private study finished off today, my third draft of Angelus is done and the first draft of the documentary is also complete so I just need to add a couple of finishing touches to the private study then I don't have to worry about that, get the scripts to Peter and then that's them out of the way for the time being which is a good thing.

Then got to start on the theory essay (2500 words urk) and the work experience essay (about the same urk) but I should be okay, I hope leastways. And I'm planning stuff out which is another good thing. *counts the pieces of work on her fingers* Only five pieces? That seems rather odd but it's correct, heh at least it's partially done which is a good thing. Bar the read-up for the theory but that's not too hard to tackle. And I've got to re-watch Paris, Texas as well. Probably do the first draft of the theory and then re-watch it.

Work has been a mix of things lately, some crazy nights of calls and othertimes quiet so I spent six hours of my eight hour shift doing my uni work - whilst taking calls inbetween - which was helpful and it's been pretty okay. Will look to drop my hours down come summer cause I need to for third year.

Also this weekend I saw Dr.Who and that was fastastic fun, a good old fashioned story with lots of things. Hehe *squess* I love werewolf stories - god I am a fantasy freak. Also finally watched BRII and I actually really enjoyed it bar it's a lot harder film to go through compared to BR which sounds ironic but I found the second one a lot harsher and definately more gritty. Some of the stuff was really boarding the line of sickness but being a media student it was acutally quite interesting to watch. Especially since it's more contraversal than the first, not cause of the notorious seen as in my opinion it looks like they're just demolishing the buildings (and there's more than two, there's five in total, just two are standing next to each other), but cos the overall subcontext is an outcry against Iraq and atone point there is hints that a certain country - though they don't explicitiy say which one it is but you can guess - is wanting to bomb the island to stop the threat. Hmmm wonder why the yanks didn't like it too much. I recommend it but be prepared to be horrified by it and put up with the stop start motion.

Also I congratulate it on being one of the few films to successfully kill off half the cast in the first thirty minuets of the two hours and ten minuet film.

Today I've been outside in the garden enjoying the sunshine, once we had re-done the lawns back and front and I had completed my uni work for today, and quite happily continued to read Battle Royal and play fetch with the dog. Only downside is that I've now got sunburn, cause there were no clouds in the sky, but I hope the weather stays like this cause it'll give me a nice break from the coursework. Even if it is just walking the dog. lol
