Much like Mike I too am looking to the future. I’ve finished my course (I find out the class of my degree on Friday and it had better be a 2:1 or I’ll cry – I’m probably not joking there). Not that the class of my degree affects anything other than my pride. In September (the 6th at 9am to be precise) I start my new job at Xyratex in Havant, I’ve got that whatever my degree turns out to be. At some point before that I’m moving to Portsmouth/Southsea with Andrea (and my god aren’t flats expensive to rent down south, talk about North/South divide – you can buy a 3 bedroom semi in my village for 130K).
In between now and moving to Southsea I’ve still got loads to do. I’m hopefully helping out with the Guildford festival thanks to Surrey Union Crew and then I shall be attending about a week of MT Soc tour. I am then heading off on holiday. It’s all booked now so I’m taking flights from Heathrow (via Amsterdam – KLM do cheap flights) to Shanghia. The tour takes us round what appears to be the big things to see (the terracotta warriors and all that kind of stuff). We end up in Beijing and fly back again via Amsterdam. Should be cool. Following that I have about a week to find a flat before my Cousin’s wedding. I’m sure it’s not meant to be quite so busy. Added to which all of this is disguising the fact I’m actually moving out of my parents home for good in around 7 weeks time.
Based on my moving out status I’m currently unpacking from University (it was very odd to leave London for the last time – I shall visit but never live there again). As I’m unpacking I’m also chucking the random junk I left behind at home out. Anyone want a very old set of rock boots (I’m shoe size 10), or some old Linux Distro CDs (go on Gary you know you do)…?
All this thinking is making me nostalgic so I shall go now before I get too soppy (and start professing my undying love for everyone I ever knew). This is all in marked contrast to the reports I hear from my old school which appears to be going down the pan (I blame the new Head Teacher – well head-somthing anyway).
