Titles? Who needs 'em anyway?
Hi everyone. Hope you are all well and enjoying the last few weeks of freedom. I know I am. Amazing how all of my mates are in touch now, and before results day I barely saw any of them all summer. Saw Charlie and the Chocolate factory with Kris, Chibi, OWA and Martin. Was a right hoot, Kris kept laughing out loud and the oompa loompas were great and a bit freaky. One to watch when on drugs we reckon. :))))) Not that I'm a drug addict. I only do them when Boyd is around :o
Other than that I have been up to my eyeballs in work at Sainsbury's . Well, not compared to a real job, but 35 hours in a week is rather a lot when I'm supposedly on holiday. Still I suppose the rewards will be worth it. Still, work really is getting shitter by the day. The other day was on freezers. I hate it, that freezer cabinet gives me the creeps and they didnt provide gloves so I was practically frostbitten by the end of the shift. Today me and Keith (a colleague) sat and decided we couldn't think of a shittier job in Cramlington than the one we were doing. Except working in ASDA! Will be handing in my resignation very soon of course to go to Manchester.
Got my details for the Manchester accommodation. I will be staying in a hall of residence called Owens park about a mile from the campus. Apparently its one of the best, with one of the best student bars and a bop with cheesy music and naff dancing, which is right up my street. Gopt more than I bargained for with the rooms as well. Mine is an ensuite even though i didn't ask for one. Costs more and personally I'd rather have gone smelly for the year. Or at least used the communal showers and saved money :D I'm dead excited now for how different its all going to be. My course starts on the 19th so I'll be arriving on the 17th. I hope my neighbors are nice and we get on. I'd hate it if they are arseholes, or worse, if they think I am an arsehole. I am quite extrovert around my mates but when there are people I don't know so well I get stuck for things to say and i get shy, which is bad if I want to make new mates. All nervous now. Bugger.
Sat down with my Mum and figured out the costs of everything concerned with uni. Won't bore you with all the details but we reckon next year will cost about £8,500, including accomodation, fees and living costs. Scary really and the loan doesnt nearly cover it. Lucky we have savings which make up a fair bit. I can understand now why so many stay at home, it would save sooo much money. Next year I will be squatting in a slug infested drugs den living on no frills beans and lager. Might make it a bit cheaper. I have suddenly become obsessed with money. was looking forward to the next paycheck because of all the hours I have put in, but compared to the costs of the next year, it is chicken feed.
Enough to give me grey hairs. Quick, get me Just for Men. Puts the pressure on passing and getting a job, of which I still have no idea what I will do after uni. Aghhhhh.
Still, I'm here at the moment and so will try and make the most of what's left of summer. My birthday in a fortnight and I might have a party, though I haven't decided yet. The parents and bros are away to kent next week, so I could invite some folks round then as well. If anyone fancies popping round for a cuppa, give me a bell. :) I'll let you all know if there are any developments. I would like to say goodbyes to everyone before leaving.
Anyways, I have work tomorrow morning so sleep is needed. Night. x

Hi!
Sounds like you've got everything organised! Well nearly!
Im afraid I won't be bumping into you at my Manchester music college audition, cos I don't need it any more! I got a phone call yesterday, "Hello, this is Pamela Flannagan from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, would you like to come?" IM IN! HOOORAY!
Now Im also trying to tackle the problem of no finance, no accomodation, and NOTHING TO WEAR before term starts in four weeks! eek!
I hope I get nice neighbours too, preferably ones that can cook, cos I can't hehe! IM GOING TO STARVE!
Although your beans and lager diet sounds workable!
Keep in touch!
:)
