Update

2) Get a job -  In Progress

Design Engineer at Thales Research & Technology. After many applications and many rejections, I wasn't expecting to get even a telephone interview with one of the biggest (although also being relatively little-known) companies in the world. But luckily I did and then got put through to the assessment centre in Reading. A very long day - an hour group exercise, 90 min written exercise, 15 min presentation + 15 mins questions, hour interview and then 3 aptitude tests. Exhausting but well worth it. Received a call the following day and was offered the job! Now I'm just waiting for the contract to be sent. A massive load off my mind and I haven't been this happy in a long time.

58) Watch 100 films I haven't seen before -  In Progress [79/100]

• The Inbetweeners Movie - has taken me a long time to watch this but it didn't disappoint. Never has a series/film been so cringeworthy yet hilarious.
• The Foot Fist Way - no.1 of small film marathon. I know a lot of people are fans of Danny McBride but he's not for me. Film was nothing special and pretty yawn-worthy. 
• Machete - no. 2 definitely made up for the first. A classic Rodriguez film. 
• Grave Encounters - no.3. I'm not particularly a fan of 'horrors' or 'thrillers'. This built up very slowly, seemed like any other film in the genre and resorted to pretty standard scare tactics. They work though.
• Case Closed: The Lost Ship in the Sky - Typical Japanese anime detective story. I've been watching these since I was a kid, being brought up on  the typical Asian influences. The anime has been around since 1996 and I still can't understand how they can keep devising new plots and 'mysteries' to solve. Because of this, each film seems fresh even though this is the 14th one.
• Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows - Now to a slightly different detective. With Sherlock airing on BBC as well, detective fans were out in force, myself included. A lot more complex than the first but still compelling and exciting. A must-watch.

67) Buy 10 scratchcards - In Progress [6/10]

Another £2 down the drain.

72) Join a society and actually go  -  DONE

I was part of the Hiking Society last year but I don't feel like I made the most of that... This year, I've joined the Photographic Society to actually learn to use my camera properly...  I don't think I've learnt much new but at least I've met some cool people!

90) Read the 7 books I got from Borders 90% off sale  -  DONE (07/11/11)

• Innocent As Sin by Elizabeth Lowell

99) Visit 3 people at their unis - In Progress [2/3]
Edinburgh to visit a good friend's cousin, who is now also a good friend! It was New Year's Eve and we had tickets to the Hogmanay street party. Packed full of people as you can imagine and getting from A to B was a hassle but the live music and fireworks more than made up for that. The former were the best that I've seen, filling the sky and drawing a chorus of 'wows'. Friendly Fires then finished the night off before I headed back the next day.
