Long time no see!

Wow! Long time no see!!! I've been pretty busy this whole time with the joys and struggles of Uni life that I unfortunately had to neglect this lovely blog (Ooops!!)

So what have I been up to? Well I moved into my new house with my awesome housemates in September- I can tell you it's fun but freezing! I cannot describe how cold it is- it actually makes me stay in the computer labs to do work it is that cold, and believe me when I say that's an achievement! but other than it being cold, it's actually a great house. Close to everything, and we have 2 yards! Not what you expect to get for a student house here I can tell you that much!
We students are imaginative when it comes to procrastination- literally a sofa bed
Coincidentally, since I'm living in a Student house, kinda means I'm back at uni again. The sweet joys of 3rd year, settling in to new classes, new people (since loads of my year are out on placement), and new, tougher work, which I'm definitely working very hard for....

Yes, very hard...








Gosh! All these math problems are pretty intense!







These graph looks oddly familiar...







So yea I don't do too well now with paying attention, it was just bound to happen! Pity it was always during class.... one class..... affectionately nicknamed Autobots (Assemble) since it's actually called Manufacturing, Automation and Robotics. Bit of a mouthful as you can tell.

Oh! And I've been getting requests for cakes!!!!!

Some haven't been to great since they were last minute asks, and I mean last minute! just a word of advice- If anyone asks you to make a cake, ALWAYS asks when it's for before agreeing or not.


I made a few more but I forgot to take pictures before they were taken away =[

But the last one was pretty bad since all the food colouring started seeping. In my defence, I was also getting ready to go to a Halloween Party though, so everything was crazy... including Dead Red Riding Hood
But the best costumes were my Superhero friends
Watchmen, Spiderman, Black Spiderman (NOT Venom), and Problem? Mexican

So Halloween, my favorite time of the year, came and passed, to let Christmas appear, and appear it did. With...

























 
 ... My AWESOME new graphics tablet, which is awesome! these are only the coloured pics I've done, did I mention the tablet is awesome?

I've even started a short comic








Another little thing I've started, Judo. Being Ditzy is sometimes a bit of a problem when it comes to sports. I mean, I played everything I could get in to when I was younger; Hockey, netball, horse riding, cricket, football, cycling, cross-country running, MotoX, anything! But as I got older, I started to lose some of them purely because of other commitments, when I finally ended up with none of them, which is pretty crap!

But I'm slowly getting some back, plus a few new ones! From September I started Judo (which I love!) even though I tore ligaments in my shoulder in the first 2 weeks... and again 4 weeks after that, but since then I've been doing a lot better! In February I went to the All Ireland Inter-Varsity Judo Tournament and walked away with 2 golds and a bronze! I also now have a reputation as being a bit of a beast, since I broke my friends leg in her first fight, then helped another girl to the paramedics after strangling her to get the win. I'm not mean I swear! I'm just competitive....

Hence why I'm now trying out for a football team, and started cycling again to get ready for the Lap of the Lough, a brutal 85 miles if you don't cycle that often...

So that's pretty much the fun I've been up to! oh, And I turned 21 this year too, So now if I go to America or Canada, I can legally drink there!!! But I don't think I'll be drinking much if I do, you guys don't have any nice cider from what I hear... =P
