So far I've:
- Left home and started University
- Got a manic timetable
- Learned how to live and be independent
- Got a job at Sports Direct
- Joined CSRFM and being trained up to do my own show
- Started a website called The Broken Biscuit Company (some of may have found your way here from there)
- And made a massive amount of new friends both in my house and on my course
Literally loving life right now, but I seem to have no time left in the day!! My schedule is so hectic and now my tutors are starting to give us more work to do, I'm starting to think I'll have to let something go.
And I fear it may Fencing - we haven't started training yet after all as we can't find a coach :(
Since leaving home, I've hardly had time to miss it, but when family came to visit last weekend I realised I do miss them a lot. It's made me think that those students who see their family often, or Skype/FaceTime them regularly find it hard to get on because they're always dragging themselves backwards.
But that's just my view, other may find it easier to cope with being away.
I also have a job now. Went along to a group interview at Sports Direct with a couple of housemates and was called up the next day with a job offer which is brilliant! After years of failure back home, four weeks here and I'm officially employed.
It's minimum wage, which is fine, and technically a 'zero hour contract' meaning you get your hours the week before and it's based on your performance. So if you decide to go out the night before and then turn up late or not at all, you'll get fewer hours the next week. But I'm looking forward to starting and finally having a proper job with a monthly paycheck and stuff.
CSRFM - Canterbury's Community and Student Radio - broadcasts city-wide on 97.4 and is one of only seven such stations to have a five-year licence from Ofcom. Playing alternative music, CSRFM broadcasts 24/7 365 days a year - and I just joined! I'm thinking of doing a 'Rock Through the Ages' type show where I play songs from a particular year and listeners text/tweet/email their guesses in - makes it a bit more interactive? I'll have to see what the producers say about it but I shall keep you posted on that
And finally I have a website, thebrokenbiscuitcompany.weebly.com. Here you will find film news, film reviews and each week I'll upload an interesting video I want to share with you all. If you have a film you would like me to review, new or old, leave a comment here or on the Comments page on the site and I'll see what I can do!
That's all for now, so much going on!!
