Oh lord, what have I become.

So I quit my bar job 2 weeks ago. My bank balance is -$190 (which is going over the previous -$1800 overdraft I had beforehand); I should get my holiday pay this week but I don't know if it'll actually be enough to push it back into reasonable standards. I just went looking for a new job today; I have spent waaaay too much time lately on the net and WoW (which I'm getting sick of, my guild blew up and we splintered, both halves stuck in the middle of nowhereland).

I enrolled for my second year of second year. Yes, last year went badly for me, grades-wse. I was lazy and an ass. Passed %50 of my 6 measly papers. Am re-taking one of them, along with 6 more (4 english papers in the first semester, 2 media 1 english in the second). I see it as punishment for being a fool last year. Papers are as follows:
-The Novel
-Literary History of English
-God and the Poets
-Realism -> Postmodern Drama (my resit)
-Contemporary Fiction
-TV Studies
-Digital Media Cultures

Some of them (God and the poets, History of language, digital media culture) look good. THe others tend to be too generalised for me to get a solid grasp on something to like about the paper (much like first year papers). Hopefully - hopefully - I'll actually sit my arse down and do work this year. I dislike failing, and last year it was both WoW and my job that prevented me from wanting to do work. So, I quit one and am cutting back on the other (cancelled my account, it'll run out shortly before Uni starts). Warcraft is such a timesink. Especially when it comes to raiding (because apparently, raiding is Serious Business).

Also, I get booted from my house in less than a week. The lease runs out. I have a temporary place to go (which may turn out to be a proper place), but I'm also looking for a new home. Looked at a place close to uni yesterday, the room is a cute little outside-access only room underneath the main house which, quite frankly, seems awesome. Dunno how cold or damp it'd get, but I can always solve that with a big blanky and some damp-rid or something.

Reeve: I went and asked on Gamefaqs about the connection theory. There's a small tidbit in a strategy guide that I'm going to look at, and apparently the Ultimania guide has stuff from Nojima and Kitase about it. I'll look into it.

PS. Can anyone reccomend me some graphic novels? i want something interesting (like Watchmen) but something that I don't have to invest too much faith in at the start before things get rolling.
