Nearly Christmas - Deadline looming

It is Friday the 4th of December now, and I no more further on with my work than I was this time last month.  My motivation and energy levels just seem to be non existent.

We did our presentation for Humanistics the other Monday.  It was a 30 minintue presentation on the works and influences of French writer, Albert Camus.  Within the presentation, we had to show his relationship and influences with existentialism.  We worked really hard and it showed, we think it went really well :).

Since the changing of the clocks, I had been suffering with tension headaches (due to the lack of natural lighting and having to rely more on this energy saving shit).  Fortunately, they have replaced the fitting on the ceilling with a dual strip tube light and they have replaced all the wall light bulbs so all my lights are the same colour white.  The place is a lot brighter now and I can see to do things..........maybe even writing for my essay :p.

I received a nice gift the other day from one of my mates, a signed Coast CD.  Coast (a celtic rock band who originate from the Southampton are) have been around for about a year/year and a half but on the 21st November 2009 took their career to new heights by releasing their debut album.  It is not their first release but it is their first album, and what an album it is.  If you wish, you can check out more on Coast by visiting www.coastrock.co.uk.  Paul Eastham (the lead vocalist) has undertook a number of projects in his time and is an amazing pianist.  He has performed a track with Duffy.  Check out Paul Eastham too, you won't be disappointed by either, I can assure you.

The Runrig Winter tour has started..........and I can't make any *spud cries*.  I did receive a lovely offer of a free ticket to Sheffield on the 15th December today, but I can't make it due to Uni' committments and transport issues.  Oh well, I saw them at Scone Palacd so I have seen them once this year.

I heard the terrible news the other day that my little friend had died as a result of being attacked by a dog :(.  Little John-Paul spent 9 months at Northern College with his Mummy at the same time as me.  He was a lovely, playful, energetic little man who always had a smile on his cheeky little face.  I really do feel for his Family.  All the kids at Northern College were entertaining and cheered us all up no end.  If we didn't see them running around the dinning room, we wondered what was wrong.  Little John-Paul was very popular with all our fellow students and the other kids too.  He will be missed by so many.  God Bless and keep you safe little man.  Our love for you will never die xxx.
