I’ve been a bit quiet on this for a few month…to be honest its been a really busy time and things have really changed around here…..Firstly I finished my degree, i got a really high 2:1 and im really happy with it. I also found out the Duplicity got 78 (which in degree terms is a 1st…WHOOT!). Duplicity is also being entered into some competitions at the moment. My old course leader has entered it into the regional RTS Awards and personal I entered it into the BIMA Awards too…..so lets see what happens…Ive also got a job (well i class it as a job as its 9-5). Im the Falmouth President of the FXU (Falmouth and Exeter Students Union) in which i represent the views of students in meetings that i attend. My biggest job at the moment is organising all the goodies that is freshers fortnight 2007 and ive also been designing all the logos to which is cool. It has though been a big change, im still living in falmouth but all my old 3rd year mates have gone home. Its going to be a strange year…..but hopelly full of exciting opportunities and loads of new mates….Hope that is enough of a catch up for now…be back soon
Before you say anything I know that its been ages since I’ve written a blog…but to be honest there has been good reason for it…I’ve even been struggling to do my photo project!
Yeah the last month or so has been really hectic. In the time since I last blogged I have been completing my major project for my degree.
If I say so my self its an amazing project…..its a web based murder mystery drama, unique for its time. I designed the website myself but the story was made up by my group Tangent Productions…im not going to say anymore but you should explore it… my tip is as well as watching read the blogs.
Now that the project is all over its time to relax before all this uni life is over. I graduate in under a month, which is really scarey. I know everyone says it but the past 3 years have gone by sooo fast. I’m glad that im able to stay around for another year. I’m not ready to leave Falmouth yet as it’s a great place. Soon though it will be time to move on.
Tv is another addiction of mine at the moment. Even though The OC has officially finished its been on E4 everyday, and with my lovely PVR I have been recording it and watching it in my own time. I’ve also just become addicted to Heroes..its not out in the UK till the summer but ive found it online and its AMAZING…im episode 4…my housemate is ep12…..
That’s it for now but I promise I will be back soon
Now I have some more time there will be more blogs….hurrah!
It has been soo long since I updated my blog with a diary style entry of how my life is going on at the moment…
Well lets just put it this way its been really busy! Ive had a really stressful couple of weeks preparing for my major production that we filmed last week. Im glad its all over now…there is still a lot of work to do now..i think we are half way there thought.
Oh yeah HAPPY EASTER to everyone to…im currerntly in Falmouth having a day of from work. It’s a beautiful day outside but ive had soo much stuff to sort out that I have neglected over the last couple of weeks that I needed to sort some stuff out!
To be honest it hasn’t been much of an easter holiday for me, as ive been filming and working I was only able to pop back home for a weekend to see as many people as I could. It was great to see all the people I could just wish I could spend a bit longer at home to…also I don’t know when im going to be going back as it looks like im going to be in Cornwall most of the summer!
Project 365 is going well…its laking in creativity at the moment but now im a little more free you will see some exciting pictures!

What I cant believe at the moment is firstly the weather…as cornwall is so sunny at the moment and secondly that I only have one term left at uni….well as a student anyway LOL!
Neway enough for now
I promise more soon though!
Found this on Digg.com…and to be honest it is pretty scarey….im suppriesed a marketing company hasn’t allreeady done it!
I found this on the net today…my mates think i use the net a bit too much…but i beleive that connecting with technology for my genertation and others to!
Have a listen…..and dream of a future when this becomes easier
While im writing this im doing that thing everyone allways talks about in relation to Wifi….Working outside of the usual work or home environment.
Im sitting in a little cafe/bar in Falmouth while writting this blog and its great fun. I had some work to do today and i really didnt fancy going home to do it..so i descided to find some free wifi. Luckleyt where i come from there are about 3 bars with free wifi and both out college campuses have free wifi to…its bloody greats..
A BBC article today is talking about users of wifi, the report suggests that people who use WiFi on a regualr basis engage with the Internet more…checking emails and news…and to be honest its great.
Im a bit of an internet fiend i have to say…..im allways online and am allways checking emails…and to be honest WIFI is amazing.
I think more buiness and coffee shops should provide it for free…more people will come along to that business if they know its there!
Neway WIFI…bloody amazing when using the internet outside of home!
I watched this documentary today which really made think a lot more about Alcohol and what it can do to a person when it is drunk in extreme circumstances.
The documentary was by Paul Watson, and called “Rain in My Heart” (2006). It was about 4 people from Gillingham in Kent, who suffered from Alcoholism. The documentary looked at these 4 people from the hospital that they were admitted to. They weren’t just the usual bung drinker, they were drinking about 2 bottles of vodka a night for example. Two out of the 4 die in the documentary.
The documentary kept making me question whether I should feel sorry for these people who were addicted to the drink for many different reasons. To be honest by the end of the documentary I left more sorry for the people who are trying to look after these people, the friends, the parent or the partner.
There were to key parts of the documentary, which made me feel so low and sad. Firstly there was one guy who was having liver troubles, he hadn’t drunk for about 8 years but died due to what he did. His wife loved him soo much and cared for him to the extreme, she was there with him, always being positive. When you were showed his funeral with his wife in tears, I had almost burst into tears myself.
The second most memorable point was watching one guy down tumblers full of red wine and then throwing them back up about 3 minutes after. It was shocking viewing and did put me off alcohol.
The whole thing just made me think about my friends and university life. People go out a drink all the time and get waisted, its when your friend cant go a day without a drink, or has to get really pissed every time you go out. It really made me think…
I would say watch this documentary and remember it. Tell your friends who may b worrying you. It might scares them and make them realise before its to late.
It’s been soo long since I wrote blog, it’s a bit weird as I have forgotten what to write on one of these thing.
The reason I haven’t blogged for a while is because I have spent the last month or so doing my dissertation. It was only about 6000 words but I had loads of reading to do. Every time I tried to do something unrelated to my course I felt bad, so yeah I apologise but no blogs!
So what else has happened in the past 5 weeks…ummm I now have a Freeview box with a PVR (Hard disk) so I have been recording loads of television…there has been loads to record….ugly betty, Skins, the OC, Waterloo Road, Desperate Housewive. To be honest its an amazing thing and I love it!
I also got a car the other day…its great…my parents bought me a cheap car for my birthday…and she is called GUF! She isn’t coming down till my mum comes to visit in march…I am really excited about this!
I have missed being creative to be honest…if you have been following my Flickr 365 project (which is the only thing that I have kept going) I think I’ve lacked a bit of creativeness which I hope to get back in the next couple of weeks……
I’ve spent the past two days making lists of things that I have forgotten to do or have been putting off and its massive so my life is finally getting back to normal after my dissertation.
The next couple of weeks are going to be exciting to. SU elections start and so that is going to be great fun and hard work…I wonder if anyone else is going to go for Falmouth president? I will find out an see..
Right that’s enough for now I think…
Have a look at my flickr to check out my Project 365..which is an amazing project…im only 43 pics in!

I will post some more soon….
Strange Change
June 28, 2007 in 2007, Comment, Life, ME! | Leave a comment
I always knew that this week was going to be a weird one but to be honest I didn’t know how it was going to be. Let me explain the situation, right well ive now graduated from degree (got a 2:1) and its one of those weird times where all your friends move on in life, they move back home, they start a new job etc… but im still here.
Im currently sitting in my empty house, just about to go to bed after spending most of my day not talking face to face with a single sole in a place which is usually filled with conversation it’s a strange feeling. Ive spent my evening watch telli and wanting to run up stairs to tell my housemate what I thought and then I realise that they are not there.
Its sort of a limbo period, at the weekend I move into a new flat with new housemates in Falmouth. Things are going to be different as my closest friends are not around and im not actually going to be studying (And yes being one of the Presidents of the FXU (Students Union) is a full time job). Its like when you leave school after spending sooo many years of your life in education with the same people. You keep in touch with the closest of your mates and some people will fade away.
Change is always hard, but change is also good.
