Scary stuff...this time tomorrow I will be resting in my Battersea student hovel...but at least it will be my hovel. Before anyone says it...yes I'm either a) living in the power station or b) living with the dogs. Nobody has said either of those things to me before...
Sadly, it doesn't look like I'll have the internet in my accommodation. Despite it being student digs...it seems they want to rip you off as much as possible by making you chose a third party to get on the net. Damn them. So I would appreciate it if our South-Eastern members could relay the best of Metropol each day via a series of communications such as semaphore, smoke signals, carrier pigeons and morse code. It would be much appreciated.
But then...who knows...maybe I'll brave it and pay for the net.
I am moving in, very early. My enrolment isn't for 10 days and my course starts a week after that...so a long wait. But I'm paying for it from tomorrow so I'm going to claim the meals that they are generously going to cook for me. I'm sort of hoping I'll be the first person there and be able to run up and down corridors shouting "pants" and jumping up and down in the lifts. But then...even when everyone is there I'm sure I'll engage in some or fewer of those activities. I know it's going to be full of these strange foreign student types who always get to university about 2 years before you do. Still, it should be highly entertaining.
But hey...in all seriousness...let's hope that my second attempt goes better than the first. Am a little nervous (naturally) but not terribly worried and I'm looking forward to it lots.
First person to spot me on the tube gets £10.
