Heavy

So, here I am back in Middlesbrough after the holidays. The journey down was ok, not including the delay outside Edinburgh train station which meant I missed my connection.

So, got my loan through. And I’ve made a couple of big purchases. From amazon I bought the Dr Who series 2 box set. Admittedly, I could have bought that in a shop, but then I would not have got this:

Yay!

How cool is that?

I also got myself a new laptop rather than just getting my old one fixed. Looked around online and finally found one with the exact same spec as my old one. But this one has a biometric fingerprint scanner! So, instead of a password to log in, I just scan my finger. Woo!

Not that I can get online with it at the moment. While I was away, the couple I shared the flat with split up and she’s moved. Because the NTL was in her name, she’s cancelled it. So, at the moment I have no internet, no digital TV and no phone.

So, now that I’m back in Middlesbrough, am I back at college? Well, no. I am no longer a student, and haven’t been since December.

What happened was that the course I was doing was validated by the University. Who I have issues with going back a few years that I thought I had sorted. Mid November, they realised that I was enrolled on the course and told me my enrollment had been revoked. I tried to sort it with them but, due to the fact that the department in question tends to move about as quickly as a three toed sloth with arthiritis, it didn’t happen and I was officially removed from the course in December 1st.

And in the middle of all this me and Shar split up. It’s just one of those things that didn’t work out. I’m still friends with her and we still chat online every so often.

So, yeah, an interesting end to the year.
