So my second year at University is over... it's kinda sad really knowing that next year is the big final year, I mean I felt I only just got here! So as its over the summer holidays have started and I have FOUR MONTHS. I am already bored lol (nah I am sure I'll find something to do)
Although I have one big task to do over the summer and thats to sort out my project for the third year. More on that later. As mentioned in the last post I was sorting myself out for the assesment, obviously that's now over and I got my results. Although I did well I still feel I could have done better as in the last test Assesment thing I got a First (This time I got a Two-One) but its not the mark that got me down, it was the negative feed back that came with it. I don't think there were any positive points. But then again I obviously didnt do shit otherwise I would'nt have been close to a First. Anyway after talking to Susie (my Tutor) once again I feel I just need to put it behind me but of course keep it all in mind and get that damn First next year!
The next day after getting my marks was my birthday, 25th May. It was good fun. That night we all had lots of drink, especially me as I think I payed for only 2 of my many drinks lol. although I didnt get that drunk as a couple of friends and overdid it at the chinese buffet before.... regret that ever so slightly. But it was just so good! So now i am 20, or Twenteen as I call it.... I am still a teen right? As for the birthday with the family we went for a great meal at a local pub.... Nice!
And I received a very special gift.... well special to me anyway. It was the oversized hardcover edition of Batman Hush. With art work by Jim Lee, one of my favourite artists. I have only read a chapter as I got distracted by other things but I will read it as the book itself looks fantastic and it was one of those books I always wanted to get as an Absolute Edition. At the moment I am currently reading The Walking Dead volume 5 (finally) and the Manga 'Pluto' which is by my now favourite Manga writer/Artist (Besides Hayao Miyazaki and Katsuhiro Otomo) Naoki Urasawa! wikipedia it, its awesome! May have a post on it later as I am about to start volume 3!Jesus I have lot to talk about. It would been easier to have it all in small weekly blogs like I am supposed to do! Anyway that weekend (May 29th) three of my fiends and I went to the MCM Expo in London. Now I never been to a Expo or convention or whatever, so this was very different for me. I really did like it, I was amazed by people who really went all out on their costumes (although Huw seemed uncomfortable lol) and what they had come as. There was a transformer and a Gundam Wing robot there! And they didnt look cack! The costumes looked good lol. I also spent all my birthday
money there on books such as 'The art of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney' 'The art of Steve Ditko' and DVD's such as Futurama season 2 for £6 and Ghost in the Shell 2.0 for only £1! Bargain! 
But the best thing I believe is the Hardcover copy of "Elephant Men volume 1". Now I always heard of Elephant Men but never thought about trying it as I read alot as it is. But when I saw the creator at his desk with the books I thought mother of god get it!!! So I did and Richard Starkings (The Writer) signed it and drew the hippo character behind the front cover and Boo Cook (The cover Artist) also signed it! So definetly the best time to try Elephant Men and I hope they're there next year as I am sure I'll wanna get volume 2 and 3 and I might aswell get them to sign them to! Anyway sucsess so as I said I will be going next year if all goes to plan.
But not much animation related to post this time but I will start work on the third year project so they'll definetly be some posts of that either here on a seperate Blog. Oh and in my last entry I mentioned getting a PS3.... well I bought one.... but it still isnt here and I bought it online on the uuuuurrrr.... on the 26th May... so uuurrr.... yeah....Anyway heres a bit of Bottom! Skip to 0:33 Ritchie's face is priceless! :D
