Post Uni thoughts!

I still can’t get used to the fact that I’ve finished my dissertation and have “mental freedom”… it sounds so silly. And I’m technically still a student! (won’t be fully finished until I receive my Bachelor certificate… )  And I know Tony will say “pfft, what freedom”, seeing that I still have the pressure of finding a full-time, permanent job, which is a pain! -__-

But think about it, just two months ago, when I’d be watching TV I still had my dissertation on the back of my mind. Worrying. Feeling guilty that I’m enjoying myself rather than working…. and that was in addition to trying to apply for jobs! But now… I need to apply still, yes, but the rest of the time I can actually do whatever I want and not feel guilty about it! It’s crazy how much you can actually enjoy things, when you don’t have to worry about Uni!! =D

I have loads of friends who are into games. And some actually blog about it and now they have gone into the gaming industry. I was always really impressed at how they managed to balance playing games, blogging about it and at the same time attend Uni full time! I always struggled with just balancing games and Uni!
Now, I can finally enjoy games! There are so many games that I want to play! I think the first one will be Final Fantasy XIII! I know that a lot of people really disliked it! (Including Tony, who is an absolute fan of Final Fantasy and has played almost all of them!) BUT I really like the storyline and I hate starting something and not finishing it! It’ll haunt me forever otherwise! Also, it’s a good introduction I suppose to Final Fantasy XIV… I know Tony will highly disagree with me! And I know that the game play and everything is completely different… but I suppose I just want to have finished at least one of the FF games before I start playing the MMO for it!

In my shame I must admit, until Portal 2 came out, I did not realise that there was a storyline to Portal! I thought it’s just a really, really good riddle game! Since I’ve found out, I really need to finally finish Portal as well so I can go on with Portal 2 (I refuse to go on playing Portal 2 until I’ve finished the 1st one! lol )

I could write a huuuuge list of tons of games that I want to and need to finish, but let’s keep it at this for now! I’m off to play some FF XIII now I think! ^^

New Year’s resolutions

First of all: Happy New Year everyone! Hope you had a great new year’s eve and I hope you will have a great year in 2013! 

It’s still a bit weird for me to think that we are actually in 2013 now! Crazy how fast time flies by! I remember when everyone used to say that you’ll be old before you know it and it seemed so silly to me. I couldn’t wait to grow up when I was little. Now I understand. Peter Pan is the dream! Though I suppose some people have to lose something before they can appreciate it. But it’s ok. I’m a little girl in certain things still and am happy to have found a boy who shares this childishness with me! ^^ ( ❤ Tony ) 

But that’s not what I wanted to write about today! Since it’s New Year’s day, New Year’s resolutions have to be made. I never really bothered with them. Never really saw the point in them, since I knew that I wouldn’t follow through with them anyway. 
This year, I’ll do it differently! I actually do believe that I should follow through with two things: Be more present online and be a bit more healthy/fit – aka do more exercise! So why not make these two things my New Year’s resolutions?! =)

The last few weeks – months even – have been a bit manic! But I suppose the Christmas period is manic for everyone! 
I have finally handed in my dissertation, which took me FAR too long to finish (and yet I’m not happy with the results… let’s wait and see what my lecturer thinks!). And so I enjoyed the last two week not having to worry about anything! For the first time since I’ve started Uni, I didn’t have to feel guilty for not doing work. What a strange feeling! So much freedom! So much time. So many things I can do!!! =) From now on it’ll involve lots of blogging and knitting as well (which I’ve neglected for far too long)! 

For now, Good night and Happy New Year once again! =)
