Um...hullo...?
This thing on...?
Testing, 1, 2, testing...
*ahem*
My name's Bebbet, (aka Michael). I'm a 28 year-old Creative Writing student from Sunderland, UK, currently studying in Cheltenham.
I'm 5'10", 11st. Brown hair. Blue eyes. Slim build. Pasty complexion.
Intersts include writing, reading, films, music, Xbox, eating, Capoeira, coffee, whiskey and socialising.
I have a full driver's license (3 points), plenty of office experience and hope one day to make a living as a novellist.
Okay, now that reintroductions are out of the way; Hi! :)
Yes, it has been some time since I last posted here, beyond the occasional trailer or music vid. It's ironice really, seeing as I now have a social life. I posted more frequently when I was bereft.
So, yes. Here I am, still at university. Not only that, but I'm doing well!
Well, when I say well; I'm doing okay. My results range from a high of 75% to a low of 50% and I'm currently averaging just below a B grade, but I’m hoping my next few assignments will raise that. Annoyingly, my biggest struggle has been in the two modules I should’ve found the easiest. The problem isn’t so much the writing (though what I handed in last semester was far from my best work), it’s this thing called a Reflective Critical Understanding, whereby I must talk about the influences behind the piece (thin, seeing as I don’t read nearly as much as I should) and the processes and techniques I used when writing it (thinner, seeing as I tend to start writing and see what occurs). Fortunately, now that I’m settled, getting the hang of reviewing my own work and have a broader genre scope to work with, the next assignments for those modules should be far stronger.
Elsewhere, things are faring better. I’ve had to take two Literature modules to fill the yearly requirement, but I got through the first okay, and the second’s going well. I’m taking Screenwriting this semester, which is fun (according to our lecturer, the average mark for the last assignment was mid 50s - which, for a class doing its very first Screenwriting assignment, is a good average - and anyone in the 60s is doing excellently. I got 64% *smug* :) and continuing with Playwriting, which I only took because Screenwriting wasn’t available last semester, but which has turned out to be my strongest module (I apparently have a gift for dialogue).
In terms of personal life; I have one! w00t!! It has slowed a little this semester on account of money being scarce, but I’m still having fun.
The future holds more work and more fun and, hopefully, more posting than I’ve managed in the past few months.
At least I’ve gotten back on top of my post alerts (just because I haven’t commented, doesn’t mean I haven’t read :)
