Updates...

Firstly, all the nonsense with the Student Loan seems to have been cleared up. I actually got 2 letters from them this week, from the relevant departments, apologising for their mistakes and clearing up all the grey areas. So hopefully, all is good on that front.

Secondly, that interview... The interviewer said he'd call me in three to four days. It's been seven. That doesn't look so good. What's more disappointing however is that means my hot streak of 4 successful interviews in a row has come to an end. I'm now 4 from 7 overall.

Thirdly, training for the Marathon is getting better. I had a cracking session this morning, completing 2 miles (only 1.5 jogging) in under twenty minutes. I'm very pleased with that. I felt relaxed and comfortable while I was running, which made me feel even better.

So I have some positives and some negatives to build upon over the next few weeks.

Interview!

I have an interview tomorrow! I can't believe it, it's only been a year since the last one...

So it's an early start tomorrow to catch the train because it is over the border in Sussex. I'm quite excited, this could be my chance to leave Thanet far behind me. So cross your fingers and pray to whatever fictional character you believe in that I get this!

Fire!

The house across the road from mine, number 31, caught fire last night! It was so exciting!

First of all, my dad starts shouting "Call the Fire Brigade", so I run out side to see what's going on, and there's a fire in the upstairs window. He runs over to see if there's anyone in there because the downstairs light was on, but the windows started popping out, so I pulled him back.

Then it got really hot and suddenly the whole upstairs was engulfed in flames. Then 2 fire trucks pull up outside and put it out really quickly, which was a bit of a shame, it was freezing afterwards...

I'm joking. Hats off to the fire service who got there very quickly and somehow stopped the fire spreading next door. They done an excellent job.

Fortunately there was no one inside. The lights were on a timer, as the owner doesn't live there and wanted to create the illusion that he did. He's been renovating it for a while, but now his task is substantially bigger...

It Snowed! At Last!

It literally started to snow about an hour after yesterday's blog... What are the chances?

So, I took my 6 year old nephew out to the park and we had a snowball fight. I had an unfair advantage... but I'm not complaining. I got to enjoy pelting someone with snowballs and took very few hits myself!

We also attemped to make snow dinosaurs (I mean why make snowmen? There so unoriginal). His was pathetic, he has no idea at all about making things. He's bad enough at Lego, he cannot visualise anything. My Brontosnowrus on the other, well it was small, but I thought it looked great. I would show you it, but I can't connect my phone to my computer. My phone is like 2 years old and keeps saying that I need Windows XP to make the program work. Damn Windows Vista!

I suppose today was mildly fun, and much better than all the other days of this so far...

First Blog of the Year

So, nothing - I mean nothing - has happened since this time last week. Reports of huge amounts of snow have led to no snow falling in Margate; Football matches have been called off because of frozen pitches; and I still have no job...

It's all getting a bit boring around here. I've got some ironing to look forward to this afternoon, but nothing else...

But, I did get my new highest rating on chessworld.net yesterday, and I also got some more sponsorship money for my marathon bid.

But to be honest, so far 2010 sucks...

Peace and Love

Bring On 2010

What a year it has been... And don't get me started on the decade as a whole!

Ten years ago I was saying goodbye to my PC, fearing that Millenium Bug would destroy it. What ever happened to that Bug anyways? Did it affect anyone?

Ten years ago I was a couple of months away from getting full marks on the 11+ exams, and therefore I was a couple of months away from being the top kid in my year group in the whole town, and in the top 1% of 11 year olds in the whole country. Now look at me; unemployed uni drop out who can't get any work. I'm practically in the bottom 1% of 21 year olds in the whole country, and I've not even done anything wrong or bad to deserve it...

To be honest, this time last year I was fairly with myself and my life, but since dropping out of the disaster that was uni in February, nothing good has come my way. It's all gone downhill this year. There's only really be one highlight, and that being Taylor Swift's show at Wembley Arena, otherwise it's been a miserable year.

Fingers crossed that next year will be better.

Peace and Love

Excitement

I have discovered something amazing - Lady Antebellum! No that is not Lady Gaga's sister...

They are a country music singing group, and they are so awesome that I've ordered both of their albums. Their second album isn't released until next month in the US, so I'm having to import it, but it's so worth it! They are unbelievable, I've heard all of the songs off their first album, and I love them!

I also have a Keith Urban album on the way, and I'm really enjoying to Kellie Pickler, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill online. And let's not forget Julianne Hough and my angel Taylor Swift!

So there it is, I've finally found a genre of music that I can call my own. It may seem to have come as a surprise, but I have been wearing jeans and checked shirts for many years now. I should have seen this coming!

I am also excited about running the Hastings Half Marathon in March, which seems like the ideal event to warm up for the London Marathon, which is in April.

Exciting times... Now all I need is a job...

Peace and Love
