Things are happening

2008-10-05T04:10:00+0100

I know it's somewhat early, i've had too much sleep recently, and am now going to have to do one of my long days to get my sleeping pattern back into order (bed around midnight, up around 9 am)

Anyway, as the title suggests, things are happening, Firstly, I've moved from Knaresborough to Kingston Upon Hull, as has previously been mentioned here before, I am going to be attending the university here, which I'm getting excited about, my first actual day of being in a class is on Monday, at 16:15 (my timetable is available here) and will last until 17:10, after that I shall head home and prepare for my first speaking lesson of the semester. After that I should get a weekly pattern of things to do, and will be hopefully keeping to the same routine

My holiday is coming up in around 6 day's time, and that is going to be very exciting! More on that when I return.

My darling sister has had a lovely baby girl, and all I'm going to say is that I'm glad I live in hull and she lives in Llandudno.

Also I've had Natalie, my girlfriend, staying over for the last 5 days (she goes home later) to sample the life and city that's going to be mine for a few years to come.

Anyway, I've written enough, time to go and find something else to keep me quietly entertained, seeing as I can't do anything noisy else it wake Natalie.

TTFN :D

Oh, and to clear up my last post: the student finance company have now seen my passport (a trip to Darlington dealt with that) and now i'm just waiting confirmation of it all.

University woes

2008-8-28T18:12:00+0100

I'm confused now, things were going well for uni, and now there's a problem, my mother's income isn't that much (she's a communications support worker for the deaf in a school)
but my stepfather (a mechasnic for the AA) earns more than the 'cut off' allowed by the student finance company, so i could end up getting sweet FA, which i don't want.
The confusing bit is this: I've been away from home (independant from my parents) for 2 years and 10 months (3 years in November) and thus could be entitled to more, but my parents don't think so.; so i may well not go this year to uni :(

More soon...

Summer Update

2008-8-26T07:06:00+0100

I've been meaning to do this for quite a while, but things have been happening fast.

The biggest change is I'm leaving Knaresborough and heading to Hull, to the University there to do a 4 year BA in French, after that I may move down to Cardiff, to do some work for the WAG (Welsh Assembly Government) or to London, to work for Last.fm

In Other News, i'm going on holiday in October for 10 days, 6 of which will be spent on trains in the lovely country of Switzerland. including the Glacier Express, my friends Ed and Gillian will be joining me for this once in a lifetime trip, and i'm kind of excited.
My sleeping patterns are improving, just - i'm managing to get up at 8 - 9 am now, and going to bed about 1 - 1:30 am, i just need to get myself back to 10pm and things will be good :D

And Finally, i must mention that this is my first time ever to have a steam train stop just outside my house here in Knaresborough - The Scarborough Spa Express ran daily during the summer, and has stopped in Knaresborough every day! it runs in a loop from York -> Harrogate -> Leeds -> York -> Scarborough and then back again in the evening.

Anyway, I'll put some pictures and video onto my flickr account

Have fun!
