Just a little update from me

I've been moving Dai out today and yesterday. I rather gulitily filled his roof cuboard thing with my crap last week, but it'll be moving soon...well as I soon as I go home. I'll be working at fflam the weekend before graduation, so if you come to the bar I could be serving your pint!

First job however is T in the Park. I'm stewarding, and it's going to be LONG shifts, but it's not too long a period, just 5 days. But it's a long way to go from Cardiff. Not ooking forward to the coach journey that's for sure!

I'm leaving Swansea for a while now, I'm going to miss it, but I know I'll be back. Everything at home, by the way, is becoming clearer - looks like we might have the divorce agreement settled soon.

Anyway for the first time ever Dai is in bed before me. I think he's trying to seek my attention so we can watch West Wing on the laptop. Makes a change - normally he's the one tapping away at a computer while I'm falling asleep.

Degree results...

The results were posted. I called my father and asked if I'd had any post from Swansea. He says it came in a brown envelope, so he didn't believe it was my results, but there it was, telling me I had gained a degree of a 2:1 classification - better than I had hoped.

Also included were my graduation tickets. All the ones I requested have been granted! Which means all the people who wanted to come can, hooray!

Suffice to say I am one chuffty bunny!

Moving out..

This is one last post from House 81. We're all leaving tomorrow morning (although Penny has already gone home, of course). It's really quite sad to be leaving, but fortunately I've been too busy moving out and cleaning and moving Bethan into her new house today to think about it too much.

It's going to be very strange. I'll post again once we're all out of here.

It's all coming to an end...

Well today I'm heading home again to take more stuff back. I'm going throuh all my clothes and taking all my posters and decorations down. It's the end of an era. I've lived in this house for two years, and it will be sad to leave. Before we leave, however ,we have to clean it, and the less stuff we have in it the better!

A divorce hearing for my parents happened yesterday. From what I understand, we are to sell our home and business and split the money equally between them. Dad has tried to secure some sort of inheritance for Zander and I, but it failed. I understand why: but I work on the premis that I have no inheritance. I hate it when people are basically waiting for their parents to die so they can inherit. But this decision means that I will have no base, and there will be no 'matrimonial' home. A recent conversation with my mum left me very angry when she implied we were no longer a family. But if she feels that way then that's fine by me. Even if that means I have no mother and have no idea who my biological father is. I'm not sure when the selling will all happen - maybe next year sometime. I think my mother will press to do it as soon as possible.

Anyhow, I need to press on with the sorting. My bike's going to have to go this time too. But it'll be back when I get to Cardiff. Maybe when everything gets sold I could get Dad to move to Wales! Now there's an idea!

Busy...but not with anything useful

The ideas in the pipeline which I hinted about mean that this blog is now just a journal, rather than also a testing-station for my writing....not that anyone reads this crap anyway! But in any case, rumour has it next year I'm expected to blog something everyday, so I'd better get into the habit of being more regular.

The weather here has been gorgeous...this week I've done nothing useful, but I did take some stuff home, and spent a day in Cardiff with Dai, and went to Oakwood theme park - which was a really fun day, except the new ride did something to my neck - and yesterday was a meal and cocktail celebration to bid goodbye to a friend. Tonight is the SUCS (Swansea University Computer Society, funny name huh? Gotta love those geeks...and god knows I do!) beach barbeque. Now I'm not in SUCS, more of an associate, but that doesn't mean I won't be there with firewalls on. Ha. I'm not funny.

By the way, there's going to be a 'Potato Picnic' on the 1st July, starting from Girton Parish Church in Girton, Cambs, to walk to the trial GM potato site. Sounds like a fun, fluffy anti GM thing. Speaing of July, that's a busy month - I've got lots of work on, which is good. And graduation. Despite talking about it all the time, I still can't believe I'm going to have a degree.
