And So On.
Third Year Has Started
- Nov 07 :- Started Dating a girl
- Dec 07 :- Got a placement job with HMRC. (UK Tax Company)
- Jan 08 :- Returned to University
- May 08 :- Left Flares to Concentrate on Studies
- July 08 :- Started work at HMRC
- Jan 09 :- Seperated with Girlfriend
- July 09 :- Finished Work at HMRC
- July 09 - Oct 09 :- Worked at a Call Centre taking orders for Flying Flowers
- Aug 09 :- Gave Blood with Miss X's support.
- Oct 09 : - Started back at University for my third year.
So that is your short catch up, and no the girlfriend was not Miss X. And you may wonder why guiving blood makes it onto my year summary, well I have a massive phobia (fear) of needles. And I tried to give blood before but they wouldn't take it as I was too nervous. But when I went with Miss X, she made me feel comfortable. I think giving blood is something that everyone who can has a morale responsibility to do. I felt aloy better after knowing I had done such a good deed. And then found out that I have the second most common blood type (A+). Which is good, as it means I can get blood from 86% of the population (of the UK, See Link), which is the second highest you can get, people with AB+ can receive from everyone. And my blood is useful to 38% of the population (of the UK), where AB+ is only useful to 3.4%.
I have now moved into University accomodation, and I have an ensuite (a bathroom attached to my bedroom), which is quite suave (cool), but expensive. It is still cheaper than finidng private accomodation though so I shouldn't complain, but I will. Housemates are amazing (they're reading this), no but seriously they are all really nice.
If you want to find out more you will have to wait for my next post. Which will be soon hopefully. UI will definitely try and post again before the end of this week.

Hi Again
Well its been a while since I've posted on here but I am back. I doubt anybody is reading this anymore but I will write every week from now 0n I promise. So I think we will need to fill in the gap from my holiday. I have been working my bum off to pay off my overdraft eventually did then came back to University and was straight back into my overdraft again.
I am living with two of the people I lived with last year I never realised how annoying they were until it was just the three of us. They never dry up their washing up they just leave it to drain all the time. Also A as he will be known always clogs up the sink drain with pasta and cooked cheese. And complains about doing all the housework when he does none. P isn't too bad.
I did get tickets to go to see Bowling for Soup and it was amazing seeing Bowling for Soup and Bloodhound Gang. Definitely want to see them again next year if they do another Get Happy Tour together. Already thinking about going to Download this year.
I got a job at Flares in Guildford, so I'm working about 4 nights a week getting nearly no sleep and doing only half my coursework because of that. Also have joined the student Radio station GU2, also am Stats man for one of the Sports Soceities. And on top of all this am Secretary for the Departmental Soceity and Tutoring in Woking College. I have barely anytime for myself and I think I'm going crazy.
Details
Moving In Again
I moved into my house about three weeks before University started, not just to get away from home but to settle into my new job aswell. This meant that I had moved to Surrey VERY early as semester starts about a month before most Unis and I had moved three weeks before that. All my friends at home were still in Essex for at least an extra 7 weeks.
Anyway on the day I moved in we had to sign the contract and look at the inventory so A &P were there and it was the first time we had seen each other since last year, so we chatted for a little while. Then once all the paperwork was out of the way I proceeded to unpack my stuff. Then two days later I had my first night at work which was quite fun, the dancing on stage isnt as bad as you think it is going to be.
University
Its really weird being back and alot harder than last year as I have to work and try and get the departmental Soceity more active. And joining more Soceities did not make it any easier. I am meant to be applying for a placement year but cannot find a enough time.
Get Happy Tour
I went to Brighton for a gig, we were late in the usual spirit of me and Dan. But we then didn't have to que. And we didnt bother watching the second act we just grabbed a couple of drinks and chatted which was nice then we watched Bloodhound Gang which was amazing. The guitarist drank a glowstick, pulled an amp acroos the stage using a peice of chain wrapped around a cerain appendage. And later on he chugged a pitcher of beer to regurgitate some then drink it. Also the singer took of his cap and the guitarist regurgitated in that, the singer then placed it upon his head.
Then Bowling for Soup came on and they were really good, but I think I preferred Bloodhound Gang. Then on the journey home my friends friend wanted me to get in the back of the car with her. So I rode in the back and I woke up the next day with scratches and bruises in strange places. Don't worry we didn't do anything to serious in the back.
Tutoring
And klast week I started Tutoring and now I definitely have no time for me. I have just taken the afternoon off and I have loads of coursework to do but I have gone past caring. Stay tuned as a new post will be here next week.
