Ok not sure if anyone noticed, but I didn't mention anything about the uni I was going to, now people that know me should know where I'm going, but for those that don't I'll just give a run through of everything ^_^.

I shall now be going to The University of Wales, Newport, as the name says in Wales (OMG like so far away) I shall be studying Computer Games Design, mainly due to my love of games, and from this I hope to get into the industry :). The main reason for my choosing Newport was that part of the course is video game history, and being taught something like that is just wow, even though I hope I know a fair bit.

And the other reason why is because it's design but from the art side of things, and as I've recently taken a special liking to art (not like I didn't before) I decided I want to do something related to art.

I hope to do good on my course :) and have a fun three years at uni, I've now sorted out all my forms (I hope) and have a place to live for a year, the net in my room and well I think that's it, I finally move soon and finish work and living here...wow hopefully Rachel or someone will have a party before we all depart, and perhaps I should meet up with Chidgey. And there's also packing ontop of that, so much to do in like two weeks O_o

A bit late but now's a better time than never...

Ok so results day was back on the 17th of August, very nervy time, unsure of if I would get into my chosen uni or not, we set out pretty earlish and there were already quite a few people there, but not our results.

Well the official ones, we were given a little piece of paper with what grades we got as the postman hadn't come with the official results yet. But it was all ok I got what I needed, which is as follows:

Media - A
Art - C
Law - D
General - *cough* E *cough*

Ok so I did as I hoped in Media, and the same with art, was a little disappointed in Law and I couldn't really give a shit for general, they didn't count it so I couldn't care less. So we ended up having to wait an hour or two and then they came and I was less happy than before, I pretty much failed two of my law exams, and I revised and thought I would have done well, but hey that's why I got a D. I was more than happy with art though, although I only got a D for my coursework and well I thought I'd made a darn good piece of work, same with my exam I only got a C but hmm oh well, I can't win them all. I may have got not great grades but in my mind I got great pieces of work out of it.

So with all the stress aside myself and Charlotte later went to a party at Jay's which was cool, I only hope I can meet up with everybody one last time, as I'm gonna miss everyone :(

So yeah any congrats send them my way! even if they are a little late.

Ok so second time lucky, I wrote up this entry a week back, but it had an error when I was saving it and I told it to go back, and it decided to wipe it, so yay I get to write it again.

Ok so I had been interested in a psp for a while after seeing a game called LocoRoco, and I saw one day that on Play-Asia they had a psp pouch up on their site which was LocoRoco related, and I just thought, oh my god I have got to get one for my psp, being in mind this was even before I got my psp.

Then of course I remembered the fact that Play-Asia don't ship any PSP items to the UK or Europe, because of that whole stupid stuff with Sony sueing places for selling anything to the UK before the PSP came out. Anywho that's all old news now so I emailed them asking if they'd send it out as Sony don't care anymore, but I just got an email back saying they can't. So that was Play-Asia out of the picture, I constantly checked the net for weeks, not finding anything checking Lik Sang to see if they were ever going to sell it, but I never managed to find it.

Then finally I found this really expensive site called Toys n Joys, and all I can say really is if I bought it from them, I'd be paying a price of a new game for a little pouch for my psp . So I kept the site in mind and stuck with the fact I'd have to pay that.

But oh no, I was just casually searching on the net a few weeks before it was coming out and I found this amazing site called Yamato Export who sold it, and even cheaper than Play-Asia, plus the good point of shipping to the UK. I spent a good hour or so looking on their site at all the items they sell. It's not so good when you pay with paypal as they have a few problems with it at the moment but other than that it's an amazing site, which I recommend everyone to import stuff from, although there is the annoying thing of when you set the currency on the site to your favoured one it changes when you click on something .

So I got my pouch, didn't take too long, and I'm so pleased with it, I can't wait to order a few more bits off their site for my ds, as some games in japan just won't be coming out over here, and they're cheaper than our retails as well. But I'll be doing that when I have the money and don't mind spending a little.

And the main point of this thread, my locoroco pouch, and here it is.

This is how it came in a little cardboard packed thingy

Also with the pouch I got these two cute leaflets advertising a game called portable island on the psp and a new fist of the north star pachinko game. Not like Play-Asia send you anything like that although you do get stickers which are cute .

Here's the pouch in all it's glory out of it's packet, it has a weird style but it's very cute

And how cute, it even has a little tag on it saying LocoRoco ^_^

There we go, theres my LocoRoco pouch which now sits proudly on my desk, and anyone wanting to get any import games go to Yamato Export
