Four Weeks and Counting...

So here I am, with about four weeks to go until I jet off to the Land of the Rising Sun. My mother bought me a present today: a new duvet! I think she's planning on getting a lodger whilst I'm away. I think I'll need to remind her that I'm coming back for Christmas. No doubt I'll be sleeping on the floor...

Anyway, I graduated on the 16th July with a first class BA in Mathematics and Computer Science, so I was pretty chuffed. My parents bought me a digital camera for doing so, which was nice of them so hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures at some point.

I've also been getting "hit" by the impendingness (new word?) of the trip, and the reality of it all. I've suddendly started worrying that I'm not going to be able to get sorted in time. Well, to be honest I probably wouldn't if it was just left to me, but I have a wonderful mother and girlfriend who'll help me through.

I've also started writing list of "Things to do". However, these are all boring, and I feel rather unmotivated to "sort out insurance". It just costs more money.

I'd also like to say hi to Steve F. (also Robert, Christie, Lizzie, and Diane), who seems to have made it his mission to make sure I get at least one comment for every post. I appreciate it Steve, thanks for making it all worthwhile. I'm sorry about your posting away from the family. Hopefully the US will pull out of Abu Dhabi and you'll get to go home. On a side note... do you still have the beard?
