Well, Heavy MTL is coming up in a few months. It's this huge, two-day metal festival that always has performances by really great bands. This year, my favorite band is going to be there as well so I am stoked about that. Can't wait!

I assume you mean any kind of event becasue you opened up the thread in the GENERAL section?
Can't really see the sense of this thread otherwise if it was going to go in the direction of festivals because then the old Festivals thread could have been bumped up for this purpose...


Hmmm... Upcoming events? Well, one of my friends is pregnant and she is due in April (birth of a child is a pretty major thing, in my opinion) and then she plans on going with us to the Blind Guardian gig in Zagreb (which is a major thing in itself becasue they are the first time in Croatia :silly: and it will be extra awesome if my friend really manages to be there after the birth)

Major event in August for me will be the local swimming marathon. I swam it numerous times, but I had some health problems etc., so now I'm trying to get back in form and swimming it this year is kinda my goal to keep me focused on getting fit again.

Ooh..I wish I could do that..But I feel all self-conscious whilst in a swimming costume and my asthma kills me when I swim. :S

For me..I get my January exam results in 2 weeks' time (I had 6 exams, most other people had 2-3 max). It's particularly nerve wrecking because I took up an extra subject this year, taught myself first two modules and took 3 out of 4 of the modules in one sitting, so..It's just scary when I really need an A in the new subject and I've done 3/4 of the course in one sitting with no idea what my real grade outcome will be. If I get something below an A, well..Because of the time constraints I have, I can't really re-take.

Also..Around the time I get my results, I have a flute exam too. Grade 6.

March is also when I have to decide on which two universities to pick as my firm and insurance choices - After that, it's just time to work my arse off to get into my firm choice. Likely to be 3 As if my March results turn out well. If not - AAB.

:blink: Is it just me who finds it strange you should mention posting for points when you've started a thread with information that could've been placed into an existing 'Festivals' thread? Hm. I just feel slightly insulted by that last little remark there, considering the nature of the first post.

You're not alone, Envy. I agree with you. I just didn't bother addressing it... I'm also bothered with the \"I wanna read fact not fiction\" statement; as if the thread was for his sole entertainment and that he could dictate what could/should other people post here. Pretty out of place for someone who is new to the forum...
