(no subject)
Ok so maybe I should not be calm, considering yesterday I had written a really good entry that disappeared when my computer reset itself. Well I guess in my head I will have to find ways to re-write it anyway.
First off my ex-university (Coventry for those who don't know), messed up any chances of me getting onto the MA I wanted to do there. Considering I rang them in November asking for an application form and prospects, then again several times till they managed to sent me one last month. I am not starved for prospectuses either as they have managed to send me 4, but each time no application form. Apparently they had an open day in February, nice of them to tell me!!!!
As a result of this I am now looking else where, this is no bad thing although I did want to go to Coventry because they offered me the prospect of doing some teaching (first year HTML) at the same time, this would of aloud me to pay my way. So am applying to Manchester and a course in Edingbrough.
Good things... my mum's kitchen is pretty much finished, good because I have missed cooking. Although not good I am taking time to look after my friends who are not feeling great at the moment, I really care for them. I like feeling useful, because I certainty don't here. I made this plan a few weeks ago... I have no idea if it will work:-
1. do an Ma in Coventry (plans can change).
2. do an internship in another country perfidy Canada or the US
3. get a job (research/academic/something to do with usability)
4. buy a house/flat with at least two bedrooms.
Ok as plans go I guess it is a bit crap, but at least it is a four year one. It is funny how often I find myself looking at property prices, and just where there is property. One thing I am almost sure of is that I don't think I want to live in the south. The Midlands appeal to me, I guess one of the main reasons for this is that it has a high concentration of young Quakers (funny reason you might say!).
OOooh, something else I have been considering is getting rid of my mp3 collection, as to be honest I prefer real CD's. It would also free up between 3 and 4 gig of memory too. I could never be bothered to write any of them to CD, and to be honest I have most of them already on CD.
