NC was surprisingly good, considering. My gf's mum died pretty suddenly, so I headed over with no idea what state the family would be in until I got there. The first few days were tough until the funeral, and then things got easier. After that, Mrs. Lego and I hung out, went to visit some friends at her school, played in the snow, and generally...

I've had nothing but trouble from Nokias. The only decent phone that has lasted for me is my Razr.
Driving was ok. I won't deny it was scary, but it got better as we went along. Or rather, I got better. Same effect, though.
Got home, spent the rest of the afternoon tidying my room, then got a phone call with some bad news. I'm already tired of thinking about it and the 4 people I've told about it feels like about 3 too...

I've only driven a hand full of times in the past year and each time I do it's scary as hell haha
Ok, so today I have a day off to take a driving lesson. It's supposed to be the fun one where you get to go really fast on the motorway. Except I get up and everything has been dusted in about an inch of snow... 
Yeah, I'm feeling a little bit antsy about this one...

The last 3 weeks have been about the longest I can remember. I took a look at my brother's blog this week and for various reasons he hasn't updated it since June. Without any sense of exaggeration, it feels like he might as well have updated it on New Year's Eve. The last 6 months of 2006 felt like 3 weeks, and the last 3...

Awkward conversations with customers is never fun. Oh wow Easter is such a long time from now. I bet you are counting down the days.
Ok, so it's been a while. Sorry.
Happy new year though!!
Things that are happening with me:
1. I'm still working at the same biotechnology company. They were going to let me go at the end of December, but the new girl they got to replace me is taking longer to train up than they expected, so they asked me to stay for another month...

Good luck with your girlfriend. That seems like quite a tricky situation. It's like a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing.
I've known this person for a little over a year as well. I'm sure she knows that I like her now but it just feels like I'm being desperate. We'll see I guess.

So this week I discovered I could get a job working in a different part of the same company I'm at, 3 days a week, and possibly earn about the same money as I am from a full working week! I'd even get to choose which 3 days every week! With the addition of some extra work coming my way, I could actually earn more...

So this week:
I finally passed my driving test-- first time, I hasten to say-- with only 9 minors. 9 minor errors, that is-- I wasn't driving a minibus with a small group of children in the back. There was a little incident involving queuing up behind a parked car, but I didn't lose any marks for it.
Having decided that I wanted to quit...

Remember that scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where Indiana Jones gets in a fight with the Nazi guy and throws him out of the window? He then says to the stunned crowd "No ticket" and then everyone pulls out their tickets as fast as they can haha.
Hmm... ok, so I left the site for a bit and then came back, just as it seems my remaining friends were leaving. Seems like I'll have to be nice to people now!
Trying to figure out uploading pictures onto here so I seem a little more welcoming. 200KB seems quite small-- all but one of my pics are too big and I haven't got...

Languages doesn't get you any promiscious sex and free drugs though. You got to keep it real! I'm not one to talk though since I'm most likely going to law school instead of doing the band thing too.

Yay! It's good to be back. I just couldn't stay away.
As for the job, you've got to follow your heart because that's all that'll satisfy.

Oops. Haven't updated for a bit again.
Since I've been back from Hull I've been:
Progressively getting more fed up with the people I work with. This coincides neatly with considering turning down the band idea and applying to work there permanently. Great. The main reason for this is the band beginning to seem less and less reliable, and the potential of me ditching the...

Thank God for an interesting week at last.
Took the train back up to Hull last Thursday to help move the new international students into their accomodation, get them registered, etc., this week.
General synopsis:
I have way more, better friends in Hull than I do in London.
If I had a job in Hull, I'd move there.
On the other hand, some friends who...

I think you should try out for the band. What's more important than Rock N Roll, I mean really? hehe You can always get a stable job when you're old and boring haha. Plus if you're in a band you'll be able to have sex with more American girls. 
Aand another week out of the way.
I'm trying to churn them out so I can get some work experience under my belt and then get on to a job I actually want to do. One that doesn't involve taking the crap for some stupid kraut in a warehouse.
I feel like I should be worried that I'm wasting away my youth, sitting in an...

Aand it's the weekend. At last. It's been such a long week.
It's kinda weird being on here again and working too. I was a student last time I was on here, so I had plenty of time to read the boards, groups and journals, but now I just get a little bit of time in the evenings or first thing after I get up....

I wish I was still a student sometimes.

Yes it's Crist, not Christ. What a sily error hehe.
Yeah I just graduated last semester so I'm taking a year off before I go to law school. My parents wanted me to move back in with them but there was no way in hell I was going to haha.
