Procrastination Problems after a weekend of fun.

The LARP'ing was GREAT.
Despite that both my sword and shield broke eventually over the course of the weekend. I had a great time. Don't worry, both are repair-able. But now is not the time for that.
I got a cloak made, and it was verah good.
Had lots of fun, got some msns and even got some hugs IRL at the end of the event. Gooo me.


Now on the course of several other things.
The College application. I got it and the test. I've partially filled out the application and the home-test. Both are due on the 27th when I have the school-test and the interview.

Now on a more worrying topic. I have not studied at all.



Yes. This worries me much. Its only a low-level* high school exam.
I've got a couple of days and then exams start. I really need to start studying.
Cookiemanjaro knows what'l happen if they say I failed and have to spend another year where I'm at now.

Also, summer job. I'l of around two months of summer vacation if I graduate and get into a college. And they're having open applications at a local supermarket for .....damn, what do you call it in english? Dunno....Well its basically filling up empty spaces in the racks and helping customers if they ask you something.
Anyway, so I'm trying to write a sollicitation letter for that. Yay. ALso have to scrap toghetter a curriculum vitae.

I'l probably make another post in the remainder in this month, either somewhere in the middle of my exams or after the 27th and talking about how it went.

Busy!

Mainly with two things, preparing for a LARP event next weekend and exams.

Well more kinda preparing for LARP.... I'm too good at procrastinating school. I've not actually studied...I may have said that I was studying to people.....

>.>
<,<

But don't worry, after the LARP, I will study.

Now, LARP'ing.

I am part of a organisation which has around 200 members. A good 30-50 of them being in Belgium. Now there are two LARP's. Elerion, which is for adults. So 18+.

No. Not that kind of 18+, you pervert.
That one is hosted twice a year.
And then there's the other one, De Bron, which, translated into english means : The source, or the spring. Silly english synonyms.
Its hosted once a year and is for age 14-18. Thats the one where I'm at.

Now a little bit about how I got into LARP'ing, for that we need a bit more on my family.
You see, a part of my family is geeky. One of my aunts, a cousin of mine(her daughter), my cousins fiancee. Now my cousin, on top of playing DnD, also LARP's.
My brother got introduced to it by her, when the Bron got set up. That was the Bron 1.
I was just a ickle little bit to join that one, so I had to wait a year. Me and my brother both played in the Bron 2. My cousin wasn't there, because there was a baby on the way. Isn't coming to this one either, the baby takes time and energy, y'know.

Now my brother is 18, depending on when your birthday falls, you get to be in the Bron or Elerion. Now he doesn't get into the Bron anymore. But he's coming as a, what you would call in DnD, npc. (Have to be 18+ for that). So my brother comes along, but not as a player. This also means that I'l be on the sight earlier. And so that its fair to other players. I'l most likely be stuck in the kitchen, making sandwiches for a couple of hours.

Have I confused the brains out of you yet? No? Then I suppose I shall go on.

Now last year, I rented equipment. This time, I'm making my own sword and shield.
And I will tell you, the one thing that you'l remember most, are the fumes. So those take up some time, I tell you.

I'l probably end up renting a cloak though.

After the Bron 3, I have three things. Upcoming exams I need to study for, my second year at gitp, anniversary thus, somehow will have to celebrate and a letter from Graphics Lyceum coming in, containing a sign up form and a allowance test.

So I'l update my blog about those four things before the 18th, when my exams start.
