Yep been in Brum for pretty much a week now and unfortunately I havent used it as well as I thought I would.
Not much has really happened and I havent started any prepetory reading yet which I hope doesn't set a precedent.
The first day or two I texted people like mad and got a nice set of responses, I paid a visit to my department and said hi basically, that day followed with meeting up with my friend Sadia to go around the Bull Ring shopping centre here for a bit, then randomly met up with my mate Altaff at the library, we just scoped each others pads (houses) out and thats it really.
Got most of the mod cons set up in my flat although I havent sorted the tv license out yet, but then I havent watched the tv either so there isn't much need yet.
Mainly been playing horrendous amounts of Morrowind. A game which I completed about a couple of years ago, and deemed "large and generic" but now second time through I am deeming "Stupidly large, very nuanced but buggy". The depths of that game just defy belief sometimes, I'm mostly maxing out my character and its taken me the better part of a week to get most of it done, but it will probably take me another week to do a proper job of it.
I got the power/gas sorted out but through no actual action on my part, the Landlord had sent our details onward and an account was created in another flatmates name, we just await the arrival of the bill now.
Been a bit lazy food wise and been eating out more than I should of, I need to cut down really for the sake of my wieght, I gained god knows how much at uni so far and I will gain more at this rate.
I just need to find lower fat things to eat really, and something with a bit of variety and taste, then I will be sorted.
Other than that, went through Red Dwarf Series 6 after successfully downloading some DVD software from the uni library, an alright series overall, the smeg ups are pretty good and the various documentary type things, I quite liked the interview with the bloke who does all the music, quite interesting I thought.
Thats it for this week, I plan to meet up with my friend Sandeep on the monday, which should be good, go back to MK on the thursday so I can then goto Keswick on the friday in preparation for my mates wedding on the saturday, back to MK on Sunday with an absolute deadline to be in Brum by 4pm Monday as one of my flatmates will need to be let in as he has a resit the next day.
Till next time
