Final Post from Manchester

This is my last post for a short while, because I set off in a little under 13 hours for Cambridge and University. I’m looking forward to it with excited trepidation, as it’s a real mixed bag of feelings. But, I’m straight into the work, so not much time to think to begin with. Still, I hope everyone else has some fun, and I’ll be back online in an estimated two weeks. Farewell! Paul

Cambridge Party

Well, I may not be heading off until a week today, but the fun has
already started with tonight's Cambridge Society Party.

It was a little random, just throwing us all in a room together and
seeing what happened, but as the wine flowed, so did the conversation
and the awkward silences were replaced by the constant hum of
conversation. Still, I met some pretty decent people. OK, so I'm not
going to remembermost of them, but there was a Sarah who was going to
Emma as well doing History. And then two engineers as well, one going
to Kings and the other to Cats I think. And, proving that this is
indeed a small world, the guy going to Kings was one, Stephen Gerrard
- the guy who's job at Shell is now being done by our very own Kyle
Sutherland-Cash! Bizarre, no?

But, after the couple of hours tonight, I'm much more at ease about
leaving - which is always a good thing. I'll leave it for now though,
I can't see what else I can put. We may have a problem in that once I
arrive down there it could be a good couple of weeks before returning
online, so The Friday E-Mail may well be comprimsed, but I shall do my
upmost to keep it running.

Ta taa for now

Introductory Course

As most of you well know, I've been called down early for an extra
introductory engineering course, involving arriving four days early
for what I assumed to be a spot of teambuilding and fun! Little did I
know...

It turns out to be a full-on full-blown four day course of near solid
lectures and work! What's going on? We even have a robot building
competition by the looks of it! Now, if only I had any knowledge of
robots, robot making and electronics! The fact that I'm off to uni to
work, hard, has just hit me hard in the face, and I don't really like
it any more!

This could be more interesting than I first considered.

Welcome!

Well, I know this isn't the first blog to be created, but here I am anyway.

As people are beginning to leave the Greater Manchester area and things finally hit home that University is but a few weeks away, it's getting a little scary yet exciting at the same time. This may well be fun yet!

I'm in the area until Tuesday 27th September if anyone's interested.
