Despite a lack of blogging, my absence has not been brimming with amusing anecdotes to relate or personal relevations to change the course of my life. It has, however, featured large amounts of spinach, salad and cous cous.
As I was trying to sleep the other night, it occured to me that, should everything go to plan, I won't be entering higher education in 2006 as I was anticipating, but actually it will be in 2005. Next September. Which means that I need to, very quickly, decide on which courses I want to apply to. So I've been trying to find out about open days for the institutions I'm interested in.
Central England have one at the end of June, and I've persuaded my parents to take me down for the weekend.
Kent is having one in October, and
Norwich won't let me know when they're having any. Likewise, I'm not sure about open days at college, but the end of year shows will be open soon, which will help at least. I also had a look through
Edinburgh's prospectus, as I'd love to go to Edinburgh, but the course isn't for me, I feel. Four options is enough anyway, I'm not worried about trying to find more.
Other items of note: went to the art gallery with Phil today; went to see a band last night with Phil and Tom, the singer's her tutor apparantly, but he'd told her the wrong details and they're actually playing tonight; the weather's still being variable but better than it was in April; I've been trying to eat healthier, thus the large amounts of salad; I read
Timoleon Vieta Come Home, which is wonderful but heartbreaking; I have a large, painful spot on my forehead.
