An eventual update
I realise I have not updated this for a while, and although Phil nagged me to come and update about a week ago, I tried and nothing was uploaded because I was still sharing my net connection with my friends. Having logged into Blogger, I found that my unpublished post was still saved here, even though it never appeared on my blog. So, just to prove that I DID try to update:
14th November 2006 - Yay for BT
2 weeks, lots of books and one incredibly messy room later (as shown below: PICTURES TO FOLLOW!), I finally finished my Assignment 2 last night.
I'd like to point out that my room isn't this messy any more, I've actually had time to tidy it now (even though personally, I think it looks relatively organised actually). Also, the apple juice and the cotton buds were essential to the completion of the essay :D But YAY! it's finally finished and I can now relax. Coincidentally, if anyone wants to read my essay, I can send it to you (it's only 1500 words).
And another YAY! - I now have an internet connection. Well, currently, I'm still stealing Isa and Sri's one, but I will be connecting mine up tomorrow. But either way, I finally have net access. So I can talk to everyone now (and do research, of course).
In other news, we've been looking for houses for next year (they seem to start early up here in Leeds), and we're going to view Dream House 1 on Friday! I'm also trying to arrange a viewing for Dream House 2 as soon as I can, but I will let you know what we're doing once it's all been arranged. But it's all very exciting! :)
So there you go. Anyway, for this update.
I am no longer stealing my friends' internet connection - while Phil was staying with me, he installed all the relevant stuffs and sorted out all the scary wires and now I have my own internet connection! I also have free evening and weekend calls, so if someone would like me to call them who cannot afford to call me, contact me somehow and I can give you a ring!
We viewed Dream House 1 on Friday, and unfortunately, it wasn't all that dreamy. In fact, it was a complete waste of time. When the landlord asked me to phone him an hour before we were supposed to be viewing just in case he forgot, I thought he was joking. Well, he wasn't. When I phoned him an hour beforehand as planned, he had completely forgotten about us and was unable to meet us at the arranged time. On top of that, the house we wanted to view wasn't actually available for viewing, so we had to arrange to see a different house that was supposedly exactly the same. So, we come and see the house, and realise that actually it isn't anything like the one we were supposed to be viewing. For example, it was minus a dining room. Also, we weren't that happy with the house because one of us would have to live in a box room with 2 foot of floor space, and another would have a room twice the size - a recipe for arguments and problems, no matter how friendly you are. So, after deciding that we really did not want this disorganised and annoying man as a landlord, we came home, rather disgruntled. At least we made him give us a lift back into Leeds because we didn't know when the buses were that late in the day. I have arranged a viewing for Dream House 2 (which better actually be dreamy!!) on Wednesday, so hopefully things will start to get a bit better for us from then onwards.
Last night we went to see Spirit of the Dance.
I invite anyone to watch the video that made me want to see this show: http://www.spiritofthedanceproductions.com/spiritofthedance_index_01.htm.
The show promised "a foot-stomping international production featuring the passionate latino rhythms of the Tango, Flamenco, and red-hot Salsa along with powerful show-stopping Irish Dance". We got: a load of Irish Dancing along with 30 mins of singing from Ireland's Three Tenors (including a Westlife cover, a Queen Cover, a bad Phantom of the Opera cover, and some traditional Irish songs). No latin rhythms WHATSOEVER. Also, the show was 2 hours long, including the interval. Which means, after minusing a 20 min interval and 30 mins of Three Tenors, you get a 1 hour 10 min show. Which, in my opinion, is not worth £10.50 (at the cheapest rate!!). So yes, a highly disappointing Riverdance rip-off.
Well, I'm off for another 3 hours of constant moving and body analysis. Yay for me.
I guess things can only get better, eh?

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Sounds like you had a run of bad luck there with the house and the show. Least you have your own net connection now :P
Glad the internet finally got sorted and now you can phone us for a change!
Please feel free to email me your essay and I will read it through.
Hope Dream House 2 works out - if it does, let me know and I will come up to see it.
