Oh dear, it's been a while. What have I been doing? Well...
I graduated, which was lots of fun and involved swanning round in a fancy gown with a fur-trimmed hood (oh, I love that Durham has Traditions!). I met Bill Bryson, who is our Chancellor, a couple of times - once for the Stop the Traffik campaign stuff, which meant that we got to handcuff him! Heh, he was very sporting and really interested in what we were doing. And he recognised me later on too! After the graduation ceremony, when we were getting photos with him, he was chatting to me about STT. Lovely man.
So I'm officially a graduate. And where has it got me? To an office in Manchester, doing data entry! Although I'm not actually doing anything at the moment (there's no work), and I'm only here to save up monies and run away to New Zealand for a couple of years.
It'll be fun, the boy is coming too and we're just going to do back-packery type jobs and lots of travelling and climbing and other outdoorsy stuff. Yay for Master Plans!
Anyway, now I've worked out (read: asked the boy) how to turn off pics on FireFox so that I can be on SG without getting fired, I can be here and catch up with people. Yay! Although the site is really hard to use without pics - half the buttons are missing, and I can't remember the url for My SG, so I keep having to turn pics back on and being really careful, and then turning them back off again... blah!
So anyway, how have you all been? Catch me up on your wonderful lives, your excitements and disappointments, your highs and your lows. Basically, give me your gossip, for I am living vicariously at the moment!

But congratulations on graduating. That's something to be proud of.
And it's nice to see you around again.
My parents live less than 10 minutes from Rock City, and I grew up going there, so when I read that book it absolutely cracked me up!
Hope you are well!
