  3. See, I never did move into halls. but then, my university wasn't a campus university, so we really didn't have that same experience generally (think 7 sites spread over the city and none of the halls are on the same sites as the campus buildings). and while i think that fun is important and the social side of university is a great thing, surely the main point of paying all that money (borrowed or otherwise) is to further one's education. As a teacher the idea of a university encouraging students to get into 17K plus of debt "for fun" is immoral.

    Chapter 2

    The house was just as it always had been, an immutable stone block on the hillside, overlooking the rest of the centre circle and the huge sprawling mess of the palace. Kiaza had come through the portal on what he liked to think of as the south side of the circle, not that any such trivial direction existed on this plane, and walked towards his house, shedding scales. He scrubbed at his skin with the tips of his fingers, the digits without claws or nails, but smooth and rounded with tiny scales
  5. because I can't seem to edit my original post, there are now two more BCOH stories. 5. Amateur Night - This is very much a thematic offshoot. Nassau, Kiorl and other assorted demons congregated in a pub on Halloween and get to telling stories about the 'good old days'. A new character in this is The Demon Del Deorion, who is not actually a demon in the strict sense of the term, but is actually son of a fire god. He exists as part of a (currently private) universe centered around the supernatural peoples of London. 6. Wicked Boy - Which features Kiaza, the snakey shapeshifter who loves to bring people to ultimate pleasure and keep them there, and Jeremiah, who might indeed be the world's pushiest human. Wicked Boy is currently updating.
  6. I'm good with four things in one week. it was a good week.

  8. Thank you Lisa! *wolfy kisses* It helps that the house, the farm, the mechanic shed, the kennels and the rain are all real. as for the mouldy house... mine and hubby's very first flat was like that. our flatmates clothes all went mouldy in her wardrobe (and unlike us she cared about her clothes and the way she looked) and washing out of the machine would take weeks to dry properly. it was a nightmare Thank you again for your lovely words.
  9. The local university came round to talk to our year 10 kids the other week (you would call these Freshmen). and they told them that "university wasn't just about getting a degree. It was about having fun". Most people i know who went to uni this sept spent most the of the first term drunk out of their skulls and then quit. it's a fabulous waste of resources, time and money.
  10. I spent a total of five years at university. one year foundation degree in Fine Art and Creative Writing. Three year full BAHons in 3D Materials Practice (Wood, Metal, Ceramics and Plastics) - that is the official title. i promise. One year PGCE secondary Design and Technology teaching qualification. and yet, when I ask people on GA what they attend/will attend uni for i feel dumb, because i went to art school and i teach design and food technology and they do all sorts of higher level complex things. Me, i can make a soup bowl and then make soup to go in it. i love education (though i think the system is rather broken), and i think that regardless of your formal education, no one should ever stop learning, regardless of the context of that learning. even if all you learnt today was a new way to get from point a to point b, you have kept an open mind. everyone can learn something everyday. I get my kids (in my tutor group/homeroom) to do this sometimes. "Today i learnt..." and despite the fact they've been at school all day, some of the answers are pretty interesting. My favourite: Today i learnt: that i cannot drink a whole 2 litres of coke before third period and expect my teacher to be happy about my sudden need to go to the bathroom....
  11. I find that these things happen to the possessions of our ex's...thanks for the lovely review hun.

    Chapter 8

    “Come on bro!” “I so do not see why I have to do this.” Socco glowered from his prone position on the bed. He was ostensibly reading, but his book was upside down. It was almost certainly one of Natu’s because to her knowledge, Kipa’s brother had never read a single book that hadn’t been on a school book list, and he hadn’t read half of those either. “Because you promised and because we did.” Kipa sighed. “And because Natu and Dinahei promised to make it up to you.” She shuddered, “Though I am
