Week 8. and 9, 10 and 11 and so on. :-)

Ello! erm yeah - sorry its been yonks. I didn't write any blogs during the last month of term. Or the month after. I have little recollection of what I was doing, apart from frantically running along with the fast pace, often with arms and legs flailing about. (I hope this is a word - its great. I would google it but I know I'll get distracted by other definitions of words beginning with fla... and it'll then be another month before I actually write and finish a blog.)

So yes it was very busy and very fun and I'm sure I have progressed loads even if it sometimes feels like I'm even more clueless than ever. For the solo songwriting module - I completed my 1st 8 songs of the course, and submitted a meaty 5000 critique journal on a few of my peers songs. I listened to one of the songs I was critiquing 159 times. It says so on my Itunes. He found this amusing. I passed this module thankfully. The Industrial Context Module (where we'd had all these fantastic guests in), helped us explore possible options as a songwriter and was what my 3000 essay discussed and evaluated. Another still a pass thankfully :-) The other module which had double credits , was the Songwriting in Context module - which within a weekly seminar, we listened to, debated and evaluated a lovely range of songs which then within a 30 min video we applied to 4 of our own songs. This was really difficult to put together but very rewarding when I finished. Shame I ran out of time and had to leave the sock puppets out thou. :-( Bad times.

So all our work for the last trimester (not semester or nicehamster as i first thought) was handed in mid January. Ooh that was a good day :-) albeit a really long one that carried on from the previous day. But all handed in at 12:02 midday after a slight manic runaround visiting technicians, printers and library books with slightly crazed unfocussed eyes and a red bull in hand.

So with this month passing by with a bit of much needed chilling time, catching up with my 'homies' and extra shifts in the pub, we are back to week 1!! But with all new exciting modules and adventures!!! I've written another blog which I shall probably post after this one and then a weekly blog should start after that one.
Just incase you wanna read!

P.s has anyone actually got used to writing 2010 yet? I feel like I should be writing it from my own spaceship somewhere in the future!
hmmm or maybe just me then?!
