Well well well. After a bit of a break (well, more than a bit; almost three months), I’m finally writing another blog. Life has been pretty busy in recent months, with university assignments galore as well as my Easter break back in Essex and three more We Will Rock You shows, including two within the space of two days!

I’ll start off with university, the assignments are going very well, with 100% in the first of my Web Design assignments and 80% in the first of this semester’s Java programming assignments. I’m still waiting for results of the second one for Web Design, and the second project for Java is well under way. It feels quite strange to think that in just over two months, my first year at Aberystwyth will be over. It seems like only yesterday I was moving into a completely unknown world. Still, I’m extremely happy in Aber and I wouldn’t have changed the decision for anything now.

Now onto Easter, and my two-shows-in-two-days stint at my spiritual home, the Dominion Theatre. A mini-review of both shows on my We Will Rock You website at www.wwry-london.co.uk, but these were two absolutely awesome shows with Rebecca Trehearn in bloody good form as Killer Queen. My third show in as many week is booked up for this Wednesday (the 18th), so I don’t doubt that I’ll be going back to Aber on Saturday on a high note.

Other than watching We Will Rock You and doing university assignments, I’ve managed to sell my trusty laptop to upgrade to a nice new Acer model. The specs (if they mean anything to you) are Core 2 Duo 1.6GHz, 1Gb RAM and 120Gb hard drive, so it’s a considerable upgrade from my current one.

I’ve also been trying (and failing) to write a track for a band that I’m now part of in Aber. As yet, we’re un-named, but we’re aiming to be gigging by September and so far we’ve got a couple of Queen tracks, some Whitesnake and a few others as well (you’ll have to wait and see for the exact set-list ).

So, all-in-all, its been a pretty good couple of months. Actually, it’s been a bloody awesome couple of months. I’ll try to keep this blog more updated in the next few, but with my first semester exams coming up, I’m not sure if I’ll have the time.

Cheers for reading

With under two weeks to go until I leave Aberystwyth for almost a month over Christmas, the assignments are gradually piling up, though I think I’m on top of things (just!).

I got my Databases Part One assignment back today. 90%!! The last time I remember getting anything in the 90′s was my year 8 Humanities end-of-year test! As you can probably imagine, I’m pretty pleased with it to say the least.

Java is going surprisingly well, having almost completed the group project (due this Friday), which makes up about 30% of my total mark for my Java programming module. Out of the two progress tests we’ve had so far, the highest mark has been 87%, which goes towards another 20% of my total module mark. The exam in January carries 50%, but I’m trying not to think about that at the moment!

So I guess that’s it, I’m really looking forward to going back home – both spiritual (Dominion Theatre, London) and actual  (Witham, Essex) – as well as the Music Marathon I have planned for my first week back:
Monday 18th December – We Will Rock You
Thursday 21st December – We Will Rock You
Friday 22nd December – Iron Maiden: Earl’s Court Standing
Saturday 23rd December – Iron Maiden: Earl’s Court Standing

Now that is going to be one very very good week!
