Apologies, University and Merry Christmas.

I'll open as the title suggests with an apology or sorts, I haven't written a blog in many months and that is my fault really; although in my defence reader I have started in a new world of University (at Bangor, Wales). I say started...it would be correct to say that I've just finished semester 1 of studying Linguistics.

One of my own.

In one word, fantastic! In two words, worth it! Three words, totally worth it! You get the picture. University is one of those life changing things (so to speak) that until you've been there, got the t-shirt (or polo shirt in my case) you haven't a clue what to expect. I mean I had plenty of people (mainly teachers) telling me, "It (University life) would be some of the best years of my life", not that I considered them liars, but I just couldn't comprehend how; I didn't know of all the little extras, bonuses and such that came with going to University. Sure my education path had been a pretty fun ride up to this stage, learned a lot of things, made a lot of friends, wasn't Uni just the same? Indeed it wasn't, it was far better than I imagined.

Great shot.

[My friend, obviously this blog is based on personal opinion, but I would very much recommend the idea of going to University.It's great]

The social scene is far better than that of the previous world of the Sixth Form, currently my Tuesday's involve Badminton with a few friends, then a pub quiz later thatt evening. My Sunday nights are rather fun also, involving me going to play a few hours of pool with the pool society (I even have my own cue!)..not that I'm the world's best player mind...all in good time reader. If you don't know me too well, I'm not the sort to go clubbing every night, but the nights I have entered the (student) clubs I've had fun each time.

In case you're reading this getting the suggestion I'm not actually working, well reader you'd be wrong! The Linguistics course has been interesting, fun, and a level of challenge I'm comfortable with, by no means is it easy, but you do have to bring your game up a few levels, it's pretty hard to try and bluff your way through Uni. (IPA Chart, I must know this for my January exams)


Anyway folks it's all good stuff, I'll attempt to keep this going from now on, I'm home (and have been for a week or so now) for Christmas and New Year, and return to Uni on the 9th of Jan....then exams...

Cheers for reading.
