Well, yes, just submitted the revamped version of my Unrequited piece... Just was pretty sick of noticing everything that was wrong with the first version every time I signed in... Not that the second version is amazing, but anyways - on to new things now; the appeal of flogging a dead horse is somewhat limited.

Don't really know what my next move will be yet, probably wont feel the urge to do anything artistic for months. I really should be working on my third year Psychology Project... We're really behind schedule, through no fault of our own to be fair, and have yet to gain ethical approval...

I managed to keep on top of most of my work last term though, thrillingly. I gave three presentations to various classes: one on a paper looking into parental influence on the aetiology of childhood anxiety disorders; one on tool use and -manufacture in a wild chimpanzee population in Central Africa; and one on the potential cardiovascular health benefits of eating Christmas chocolate. And I wrote a pretty damn good essay entitled 'What psychological techniques could be used to encourage people to reduce their carbon footprint' in my contemporary issues module. Copies available upon request! hehe

Besides my studies, I also had another good year in my part-time job as a Sensory Panellist for Cadbury Schweppes, in which myself and a highly-trained panel test new chewing gum and candy products. And I worked in a popular nightclub in town for a few months, until it got taken over by a crap new manager and we all quit...

I split up with my last boyfriend in mid February and have been single ever since [Christ!] but things are looking up at last, so I guess that's something to look forward to in the New Year...

And that concludes my impromptu summary of my year!

If you've read this far then you have a hug from me: , and have a super New Year! Remember - nothing ventured, nothing gained! x
