Yes, yes, I'm actually alive. Well, I don't really feel like I'm alive. More zombie like than anything else really!
So, I figured I'd stop in and say hi, and update you all a little bit. So much has happened, and its only May. And yet, it's May - where is this year going again?! Gees... each year just gets faster and faster and fasterandfasternfasterand....
Yup, madness!Where to begin?! Well, let's start with varsity. Things are going well, exceptionally busy tho. We did a game with the graphic design department at the university, which went well until one of my fellow Multimedia group members got a job and conveniently worked from 8-5 and was kicked out of the group. So that left all the coding to me! Eeek! Then my graphic designers decided to give me rubbish work and only send me this rubbish work once a week - I needed stuff at least every day!
So I spoke to my lecturers, they agreed the work wasn't up to standard and told me to do the graphics on my own. So I told the graphic designers, and all hell broke loose! They shouted at me and bitched and moaned to the lecturers, only to have it thrown back in their faces because of their lack of decent work. So.... they gave me some semi decent work, I've been coding like a madman all week, and it's due on Friday, and still on finished. 
At the same time, we're doing a project with the Industrial Designers, which started last week. Yikes... D: The teaching is going very well, until today when they told me I'll be working double hours to make up for the mistake they made in the timetable earlier this year. So instead of working 2.5 hours on a Tuesday and Wednesday, I'm working 5 hours on a Tuesday and Wednesday, so that's 10 hours a week! Thankfully its only for 5 weeks, and I have holidays in 3 weeks so I can relax a little bit. But I can say this for sure - in 3 weeks, I will be an outright zombie! 
Definitely going to need those 7 weeks of holiday! And then I'll be working on my independant project - a PC media center, and then a paper about user experience and interface design. Hehe its gonna be a long hard year methinks! But getting through it slowly!So, other than uni, things are good. The photography is a little slow, but trying to stay positive! I haven't drawn in months, its ridiculous. That shows just how little time I have for myself!
I really miss drawing, I can't wait for the holidays to start some sketching again! 
Still with my amazing boyfriend, who keeps me sane when I go nutty from the workload. I think without him, I'd be locked in my room, never to come out again! Well, I think that's it from me for now! Its super late, I've been working too hard and I have a very long day ahead of me tomorrow!
I miss you all so much, hope to be back here someday soon!
