Today was my last day at Brockenhurst College. Yay me. 2 years of travelling 13 miles a day to spend 12 hours a week in lessons, and the rest in the library, or trying to get home, is now over. Still have exams next month for all my subjects, though – and provided I don’t [...]

Well, it’s started with a change – Coordinated Universal Time just ticked over to read 2010:01:01:00:00:00 (give or take a few seconds for however out of sync this server may be), so that’s at least one thing that’s different; but just else will be different in this coming year to the years prior?

It’s now officially November; fireworks are already being set off every night, weather is suddenly worse, and it’s dark when I wake and when I get home. So with this, I guess I should round up the past month…
