And so the preparations for going back to uni are underway. Well, sort of. I'll do it tommorow, except I won't be having a lie in as I need to be back up there by 11am so Broomy can let me back into the Tower before he goes of footballing. This means no lie in, which is more than annoying considering it's a Saturday.

It's been a good day. I rose late and James called to finalise plans for our trip this summer although he did extort a large amount of money from me (thats shorthand for a grand and a third) but that literally is the price you pay. See what I did there?

I also swung a golf club for the first time in over a year and a half. Surprisingly I hit the ball well. In fact I was so surprised I might even consider taking it up again. I think I became despondant the first time around due to my frustration that I couldn't pack enough power behind the ball, but now I'm as big as everyone else this isn't appearing to be such a problem. However, I do realise I now have totally jinxed the situation by saying I hit the ball better than I ever have, but I'm hoping God is looking kindly on me generally and it wasn't just a one off today. Maybe I should just wait 18 months between each round I play.

Another brilliant thing that has occured is this, the Creative Class 05/06, which I am going to jump on with much vigour. It's been a while since I've entered anything, but this is right up my street and so I'm really pleased it came along as I've been tapping my fingers waiting for things to get stuck into. Funnily enough I already have had contact with IDEASFACTORY, they asked to interview me for one of their features a few years back. The article makes me look like a total egotistical bastard but it was still great exposure for me that wasn't related to my academic work at the end of my A-Level year.

Then there is this. Now I would never, ever, not in a million years consider myself intimidating, but I found out that was the impression I left upon my sister's new boyfriend when we met for the first time. I couldn't stop grinning the whole day once I found out. The moment I heard this I will cherish forever as I think it maybe the last time I ever hear anything similar again. The guy seems nice enough anyway, and I am already indebted to him as he lent me a good whack of CDs the other week before I had even met him.

Yesterday afternoon I drove (the last time before the insurance ran out) to Worcester with mother in order to purchase new clothing. I returned with cut-offs, sandals and a few summer tops so am extremely pleased as I began to realise my entire wardrobe previously consisted of 90% clothes I had designed or been 'Loughborough Stash'.

Overall a good two days, and hopefully tommorow will be as well, and assuming the rain holds off it will be. It'll be due time to catch up with the lads.
