So, the week gone. Started on Monday. Ended on Sunday. Things happened. I have this mental block going on now... OH! I know! We had the Graduate Entry launch and open day on Wednesday (open days are really big over here - mind you, it's not like home where you go to the uni you want to...). What was supposed to be this big drama (the Rector of the College was coming to speak and everything has to be perfect!) turned out to go very smoothly. Really, though. With Aidan, Michael & I at the helm - could we expect anything less? ;) It was a good, and very successful day. My banners looked quite good, I'm pleased to say. I was worried that they'd look naff or something, but they looked in character, so one happy camper here.
^ My banner - not flash, but not shabby eitherGiven I was born without artistic bones (I have to remind people of this), and the powers-that-be wanted something "professional looking" and conservative, I thought I did an OK job (thousands could do much better, but remember: I'm autistically, not artistically minded).
Thursday and Friday were just so mind-numbingly boring. Now that I'm rid of the Graduate Entry course (to Michael), I'm left holding the Biomedical Science baby (until Aidan leaves at the end of July, then I take over the Learning Resources team leader job until the end of September). Killing time, what fun.
Wee Sammy and Sydney-Sophie are looking at applying for ancestry visas (bitches). All this talking of staying has made me realise that I, too, want to stay (I've got to jump on the bandwagon). Not sure for how long though...I reckon it would be so cool, very cool, to have a white Christmas ("just like the ones I used to know")...so might look at going to Scandinavia for Christmas! Awesome, huh! Will get off my arse at some point and have a look into how long I can work for (yes, Mr Embassy person, I know..."up to twelve months", but I need more info, thankyouverymuch) ;)
The weekend was a bit grotty. Was meant to go visit Kenley (that just sounds odd...when I go, I might ask them to change the name of the town), but I actually wanted to go on a nice day - not a poxy one. Still got plenty of time for this.
Pete & Mandy sent me their itinerary for their holiday to Italy (makes me envious!) and I'm in the process of looking for a flight to Roma for a weekend at the end of July to catch up with them and see some of the amazing sights over there! Fares are much more pricey than they were a few years back (but still quite cheap). I'm looking at about £95, so that's not too bad :) (especially as I saw one that was £175 one way!).
I think that's about all for this week. I'm sure there was more (but really, I think it was just that I was still getting over that stupid cold I had; and I managed to get a few extra hours at work, so me happy).
I'm loving it over here - granted, could be making more of being here, but I'm happy. There hasn't been a single day where I've had regrets about coming over! After 17 weeks, this is amazing (for me).
Until next weekend (or after, as the case will most probably be!) - 'keep cool 'til After School'.
Seeyabye

Hey - been a while since I've caught up with your ramblings ... glad to see you're still rambling well! Jump onto that plane to Italy - gelato is the staple diet there and *really* good for weight loss (well, that's how I remember it anyway ...).
Cheers
Ange :-D
