Daw, well on one note I've finished my exams. No more formal education ever, or indeed, education of any kind until September when I will hopefully be going to Manchester Uni. (Fingers crossed)

On another note, Dr.Who (revived) series 3 finished on Saturday. And this is probably going to encompass how I feel about it all.
Ok, I'm always sad when a series finishes, but is it just me or has this one been particually good? I think it was up to par with the first definately, series two just didn't make the mark, but this one.... I liked it. When I look at DT now onscreen I think, 'yeah, he's the Doctor.' It's taken me a while, moreso than it had done with CE, because I think he didn't know how exactly he wanted to play him. I hated the thing he had going on with the happy! angry! happy again! Every three minutes. This series he seemed to have calmed down a little and begun to behave as the Doctor should, everything in moderation.
Also, I'm glad they finally ditched Rose. Don't get me wrong, I loved her when she was companion to the 9th, but then it all went horribly wrong. It was a good move to bring in Martha, even though I thought origionally I would hate her, afterall, I find I'm mostly indifferent, but I kind of like her. (I also origionally said I would hate DT for a long time, so I think I'm only making a fuss when I say things like that... although it did take me a series and a half to get used to emodoctah and his gravity defying hair...)
I think it was the last couple episodes that really made me feel as though this series rocked. Though.

Easter Holidays
Well, after much griping about the fact that 'everyone apart from us' had broken up for Easter already, here we are. Boy am I glad to be 'away from it all' too - over the next couple 'days I'll be writing to you from sunny Manchester, having been shipped over to my dads house. There's two main things I'm most excited about in this Holiday. GuildWars, and the TV line up.
I love spring, we see the return of House (series 3) and Dr who ('new' series 3) - basically the only two things I can honestly say I follow on the television, as I'm more a 'infront of computer' type gal, I never can mind much to watch on Tv. But, since Finn introduced me to House I've been hooked, and Dr.Who? Well, lets just say being a fan runs in the family.
After being a little annoyed at missing the first episode of Doctor Who last week (due to a number of things, but mainly due to forgetting entirely), I finally caught up with it last night. My main first impressions were that of being well... impressed :) I think that finally, I'm getting accustomed to the fact that David Tennant is our 'new' Doctor, and new assistant Martha isn't as terrible as I thought she might be, heck, I even quite like her. But that's all down to good writing, the first episode into our new series was pure brilliance. Exactly what I look for in DrWho - I'm hoping it carries on like this. More on DrWho later on this week.
The new series of House started off well - we saw the man himself back on two legs, running, being actually happy for once after the season finale last series where Cuddy put him under treatment to cure the whole leg thing. But after only three episodes I don't get why we've had to go back to square one. Hopefully it'll all unfold as the series progresses, but it's beginning to get on my nerves just a little - what is with all this 'let's not allow House to have his own way because he's better now, oh look he's going down hill lets let him behave as he did before with all the crazyness'. It's as if the writers thought they were going to lose House's character by having him fixed, and got scared, so they put him back into the whole 'grumpy old cripple' act again. Hmm. Another thing that irks me is that, while she didn't before, Cameron is actually annoying. Before she did 'good ethics', now it just seems out of selfishness and 'hey I wanna hog the limelight'. Still gotta love the way Chase is crap though ;D
One more thing in brief - there have been some really cool GuildWars updates recently. But I'll talk about those later ;)
