"Bored of my DS already."

No, this isn't a wind-up. 24 hours after getting it, I'm kind of bored of it.

There's nothing wrong with the console at all. Really like it. Just for some reason I'm well, just BORED of it. Perhaps it's a few more games that are needed but right now I've got a very desirable Door Stop.

Ended up playing Fifa 2005 and Project Gotham 2 on the Xbox instead...

Unless one's shallow and short, then it's kind of a let down next to the other one. Unless it has good replay value.

2 games, 2 months, sounds normal to me.

First week of it arriving was excellent. Playing Mario 64 alot.
The second week was great too.
Then Christmas I got Feel the magic. Good game but got bored of it quickly so the DS sat there on the shelf alot of the time.

Got back into Mario 64 again now, playing it most nights and suddenly the DS is re-born!

Worrying though. It's has only been 8 weeks.

When Wario ware arrives the darn thing will hardly ever be off for another few weeks.

is it really that boring

Hang on. You're bored with your DS - I want one...

...hm....

Heheh, sounds familiar :)

No I totally agree. I'm studying English Literature and writing a novel at the same time. My novel has so far taken over 2 years to develop and I've only done 3 chapters :)

At most uni's, and I'd assume APU, well I'd hope so, you can go off from your main course and do a different but similar subject. I study literture but I did a course in writing short stories last semester.


Anyway I'd love to be a full time novalist but realistically I'm going for a teaching job and do the writing on the side.

Truth is I'd love to become a writer it's just I know I won't make enough money out of it and I didn't want to make the subject I get my degree in too specific.

I'm also not so keen on writing creatively to a deadline. It's not like a non-fiction essay, some days I feel like writing something, others I don't. You may feel the same I dunno.

Ah right okay, haven't done language since GCSE.

I must say though APU is brilliant for aspiring novalists.

I'm going there in a week to see short story writer Sally Cline.

Nah English Language is more linguistics stuff and analysing how the language has changed over the years. Middle Englishy Beowolf type stuff through to Chaucer, Shakespeare and modern times. Creative Writing is different.. I dunno. Read the prospectus :D They're two separate courses anyway :)
