I seem to have found someone else's luck, there's no way this is my life going this well. If it's your luck I've found I apologise but you can't have it back. I'm having too much fun. sorry.

So why is life so great I hear you ask? Well I'm sure I heard one of you ask and even if no one did I'm going to tell you anyway.

For starters I seem to have passed my college course. I handed my final essay in last Saturday and the external examiner was in college looking at everyone's portfolios on Wednesday. We were all told that if we didn't hear anything by Thursday at the latest then we had passed. Well it is Sunday last time I checked and I haven't heard anything so I can only assume that everything is fine. Now all I have to do is turn up at college to pick up my certificate, find out what I have to do to let Kings College know and celebrate in grand style.

I am really chuffed and a little big headed because I've managed to do this. It has been really hard work and I've learnt loads. Just getting to class after work was difficult so it isn't something I'd have finished without a huge commitment. The final essay was also probably the hardest project I have ever done and I seriously thought I was losing my mind with stress towards the end. However it's all done now and on top of going to university I have made some excellent friends which would have made the whole thing worth while even if I hadn't passed.

Speaking of friends I am seeing many of you lot later this month and many of you I'll see three weeks running. If you weren't all so wonderful I'd get sick of you. As it is I'm really looking forward to all three meets as I'm sure much fun will be had by all. Hopefully the Brighton meet goes without a hitch, I think me and Miyo have it all sorted but you never know what might happen. The only worry here is if my liver can survive.

Football has also been making me happy. We've been training for just over a month now and turn out has been really good. A lot of new lads have come along so we should be able to strengthen the second team quite considerably, it'd be nice if both teams could have winning seasons.We've just stepped it up a gear this morning an my legs are beginning to ache as the adrenalin wear off. I think it's going to be bad tomorrow. Hopefully I'll still be able to travel down from London and play most Sundays.

Of course all of this football related stuff is just to give us a good excuse to drink and we've also had a couple of really good nights out to celebrate last season. They are a lovely bunch of guys and again regardless of the football I'm glad I've met them, at times they keep me sane when I start to take everything a little too seriously.

On top of all this someone brilliant has wandered into my life who I am sure is far too good for me. She keeps telling me she's not though and I've never liked a confrontation so I go along with her. She's been making me feel incredibly special and I can only hope I've been doing the same too her. I'm sure she's brainwashed me though, I don't seem to be able to think about anything else.

I actually think there's more I should write about but I don't want to overwhelm you all with how great everything is so I'll stop now. It strikes me that all of this good in my life has come from being prepared to let others into my life and being prepared to take a chance or two. Three years ago none of this would have happened to me as I'd have shut it out or worried about what could go wrong until it was too late. with the help of a lot of people my outlook has really changed since then and I can;t get over how much better it's made everything.

Now I'm off to nurse these aches would a steady infusion of alcohol. have fun everybody.
