Spoke too soon?

Well back to college. It's not that great. Photography is a lot of work and I am the only proper second year in my class and it isn't even that interesting but there's nothing else to change it to and I need to do 2 AS's to bring up my UCAS points. Talking of UCAS points I have started visiting Universities on the their open days, Royal Holloway and Reading yesterday. Can't say I was too impressed with Reading as the subject I wanted to do was on a smaller campus away from the main one. Royal Holloway was better, and it would be soooo cool to stay in the castle but I'm not sure the subject is quite right and I'm not sure I'll get in. However I still have about five more to visit in the next few weeks so will have to wait and see what I think of them, not that I really understand how I am supposed to be applying anyway as it is online yet we are meant to hand them into college :-S. I guess I'll find out somewhen lol. Back to the subject of college, Film Studies the other exciting subject I decided to take up this year is actually just pretty much the same as Media Studies which isn't greatly exciting although it does give me a rather big advantage at the moment so I shan't complain about that too much. The subjects I am carrying on from last year are fine I guess. The only really enjoyable stuff going on at college at the moment is the prodution that I hope to get involved in doing back stage stuff perhaps as assistant director or stage manager, and also the college magazine which we are currently producing a Halloween issue of, which means I've written a short spooky story.

On other news, I went to a drama class which is rather good me thinks, well I enjoy it anyway, needed some outlet for my overly dramatic side ;P

I don't actually have anything else overly interesting to say as one 'event' I wrote about in my offline diary this week probably shouldn't be shared on here, I am still without a dress or mask for my 18th birhtday masked ball theme party though, but I'll keep looking, I'm afraid I'm a bit fussy, we also have alot of other stuff to buy for it but it isn't until November so not panicking... just yet anyway. Ooooh one last note to end this probably rather dull blog with the fact I've found out about a Harry Potter conference going on next year, and I will finally be old enough to go! Yay! :)

ps. Looking forward to Halloween, hoping to make/find a Corpse Bride costume so I can buy a black rose I saw in a fancy dress shop the other day.

'Is that you real hair?'

Were the words Dominic Monaghan said to me as he signed a photo of himself as Merry in Lord of the rings (also he is Charlie in Lost if you're still unsure who he is). I don't have really amazing hair that he couldn't believe was mine, nor do I have awful hair that he was mocking. I was indeed wearing a wig. I hasten to add as part of a costume rather than just for the fun of it although it was quite fun. I was at the London Film and Comic Convention at Earls Court dressed as Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. Despite my first reservations about changing into my costume because of the lack of other costumers about at that time and because I was there with my boyfriend and he is one of the few people that I care what he thinks of me, I had a rather good time. Various people asked me questions about the costume, told me it was good and took photos, I have to admit to rather liking the attention. For a once painfully shy and quiet person I was rather outgoing. I met 4 more Potter guests (Colin Creevey - looks rather different now lol, 1st Katie Bell, and Seamus Finnigan) got their autographs, had my photo taken with them and chatted to them. Devon, who plays Seamus, was much friendlier than I'd thought he would be and he is also much shorter than I thought he was lol.

As well as getting the autographs, I got to have my photo taken with the flying Ford Anglia car used in the Potter films, I looked at some gorgeous dresses and cloaks and lots of random cool things, although I settled on only buying some new shiny smaller pictures of Harry Potter, Lord of the rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Doctor Who, Finding Neverland and Robin Hood to go in my shiny kind of newly decorated room. Unfortunately I couldn't find any Pride and Prejudice posters not that I had much money left to have bought one with had I found one.
I also went to the Harry potter talk, and even got up and asked a question, not that they had very good answers to it but I didn't really expect them to.

After the excitement and adventure of Sunday, I am now preparing for going back to college. As I have said before I'm looking forward to it, but it does seem to have crept up on me rather quickly, and there's things I wanted to do but haven't and what I have done as gone by in such a blur that I don't think I enjoyed it all as much as I could have done. I don't really feel relaxed or re cooperated after having a break from college work and I feel summer has kind of passed me by. Having said that, when I think back, I have actually done quite a lot and had a good time. I think I'll spend the next few days relaxing and then perhaps weather depending, I'll do some of the things I haven't yet done at the weekend somewhen.
