I got a place reserved on the course I want to do, with a bunch of forms to apply for finance. This was last Thursday afternoon, and I had to get the forms back to the office by Monday. Sounds easy enough, but I had to try to find somebody to confirm that my passport copy was a true copy, and this person has to be a person of status (doctor, lawyer, civil servant...) I couldn't think of anybody who could do it for me with a day's notice! It was especially annoying because that very morning I'd been in a room full of teachers. I went to clean the school on the Friday morning with the hope that the teachers would still be about, but they were all off enjoying the last day of the holidays. I told the caretaker about my predicament, and he said that his wife who works at the post office is classed as a civil servant so she could do it. So! I happily skipped along to see her, got it signed and sent off in the post immediately! Sorted. But nooo... I got a letter this Thursday, saying that they couldn't accept my forms because they don't accept certifications from post office clerks. I thought she might've at least signed it 'civil servant'... the n00b. Facepalm. The deadline has now passed, so I have to wait till February to start the course. Oh well, not long.

rhymeswithbooze is currently staying here and is being bearded by Floyd (faildog) and lovebombed by Didz on an hourly basis. Yay! We've done far too much (knackered) and spent far too much money on beer and food this weekend, but it's been pretty amazesome. Tonight we're staying in, chilling out, reading books, laughing at Muse, ripping CDs and eating EPIC CHOCOLATE CAKE. We saw AFP last night! She is stunning, so talented and omg brilliant. She signed my CD for me. The venue was fantastic too; I want to go there again! Damn gigs and damn London, eating all my money. We spent the day there again pretty much, had a lovely meal at La Tasca and hung out with maxnot and cottoncandy85 and missuschris and smurf_pop. Lol, people from the INTERNET. O HAI.

Thanks hun, I'll be doing English with the OU! :D

And yeah that's what I thought, I was a bit upset but months fly by so quickly so I'll be starting in no time.

Aw no, that's all sorts of poo :( Do you want me to ask at work if there's anything that can be done? I mean - maybe we could certificte your passport, if you were willing to entrust it to the Royal Mail.

But, yes, if you do have to wait for February... we will still be here, waiting for you :)

I'm glad things are going well otherwise! Wave to rhymeswithbooze for me... even though he doesn't know me from Adam, I guess.
