Gaming

Now I'm not what you call a Gamer Chick and I sure couldn't tell the difference between a Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, but I thought I'd do some reseach and tell you about the latest games that are hitting the shops seen as a lot of students are interested in the subject.

Most student's have a games console and most will spend their spare time playing on it. So whatever the weather I can guarantee the majority of people who have consoles will be glued to them, sad I no lol!

I have a Turquoise Nintendo DS Lite. It was brought for my birthday last year and I have around 10 games for it, my favorite been Theme Park and Super Mario Bros, but I can tell you now I am not addicted to playing it and could never sit and play it for hours non-stop.

There are many different consoles out there, the most popular been the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3, however the Nintendo Wii isn't far behind.

1 year to go!

Yes I officially have 1 year left until I am fully qualified as a Broadcast Journalist! It has gone so fast and I'm in shock that this time next year I will be able to call myself a Journalist and go find my dream job!

On Tuesday we had our last Newsday as Level 2 students. I can't believe that it was our last one, this year has flown by. For the last week I was Presenter with Kelly and loved it. We had so much fun and a few times had to pinch eachother to take it seriously, especially when we had Zub singing in the ear pieces so all we could hear was her voice so keeping a straight face was hard! Everyone has worked so hard over the past year and we have all had a lot of fun times together.

The scary thing now is that we have to begin thinking about what we are going to do after we graduate and leave uni. I often sit and wonder where we will all be in years to come, whether we will have got the jobs we wanted or done the things we always wanted to do.

WaterWorld

Last week I went to WaterWorld for the very first time ever! Even though I had lived in Stoke for almost 2 years I had never been so I thought to myself, I have the day off so why not be a little kid again. WaterWorld is the UK's number 1 aqua park and can be found on Festival Park in Stoke on Trent. This is the place to go and re-live your childhood whatever your age. The waterpark has lots of different attractions to suit every type of person and whether you are a strong or weak swimmer.

• 4 Lane Family Multi-slide
• Twister
• Aqua Splash Jungle House
• Assault Course
• Black Hole
• The Python
• Rapids
• Space Bowl
• Nucleus
• Super Flume
• Outdoor Pool
• Water Cannon
• Bubble Pool
• Wave Pool
• Water Edge Cafe

I had the BEST time and really felt like a kid again. I would really recommend WaterWorld for a day out and here is a top tip: Go in the day when the children are at school and it is empty, so no screaming kids and long queues :D

DEAL DEAL DEAL!

Yes if your a student you can get a cheaper entry at £6.50 and even better you can pay £8.50 and they throw in lunch. Yes not only would you be having a day of fun you get a free meal as well, what more could you ask for!
