Sorry...

God this last two weeks has flown by! Really not had a mind to put down an entry in the meantime, been so hectic settlnig into this course. Which, by the way, is not going all that well. Lot of work, fairly easy, but often mind-numbing. The good thing is that once you know it, you know it, and it'll be a lot more interesting to apply in practice. Still kind of at the early stages with a lot of it. Litigation is probably quite interesting and sounds good, but the perks are difficult to see when ur falling asleep as a lecturer drones on about deadlines for delivery of pre-action protocols (zzzz). And how many demonstrations of how to use a library do they think we need? God!
Still, this will be the measure of the career I suppose, and it's all part of the learning curve. The trick is not to make work your life, in any profession. That's why I've decided to work full days in school as far as possible but holster it when I get home. Keeps you sane that way. Alright for me though, I don't have exams to work towards yet, unlike Phil, poor bugger. Looking to do community type stuff in Chorlton, tried in vain to find a drama group in Chorlton last week, thankfully heard properly from them today, give it a shot again this week. Also finding a lot of events groups in the area so plenty of opportunities. All be up and running when I settle in.
Feeling pig sick looking at friend's photos from China and Australia. Not raining quite as much in Manchester now though so stick that!
That's about it for now, sounds pretty boring eh? Try and get back to it soon, batten down the hatches for the impending global recession!

First day at school

So, how did it go? Came back with all the books and material for the term, was not fun carrying it on the bus and cycle path but hay-ho. Nearly there with all the admin, lectures start properly tomorrw which is a bit annoying but never mind. We're also tested on Tuesday on business law, gonna b a long weekend with only 160 pages of the handbook for company! Saturday will of course be a write-off! Hit 6 firms yesterday with applications/CVs, probably chase them up Thursday to see they've been looked at.

OK, back home, books to shelve, probably bed byn 10! Ciao x

The News

- That businessman and his family were probably murdered by creditors. Family murders don't happen in Shropshire.

- Russia will come out of this whole Georgia business far stronger than it came in.

- Brown will not be forced out at conference. No one has the stones to challenge him.

- I wish Manchester had a super-cool Mayor like New Orleans.

As for me, course starts tomorrow. Woo!
