Pre-Spain Planning

My results came through the post last week; made the grade for Spain by a whisker! I needed a 60% average over my first and second years combined and I managed to get 60.3%! Now that is cutting it fine!

I'm currently swamped big time with paperwork for the big move and a truck-load of work in my internship, too. They say that moving house is the most stressful thing short of having a kid and I must say I agree with that opinion as this moment in time.

It suddenly occured to me I've never spent any longer than 3 weeks at once outside of the M25. How little I have seen of the world! Oh and turns out there's not another person going from my university either. It's just me. Fabolous.

I'm thinking I need to take a little piece of Britain with me to educated the uneducated.The pack so far includes a cricket set and my collection of Oasis CDs. I've heard they are shunning the barbarian ways though; rumour has it that one can even buy teabags there now. However, I shall include a hundred PG tips in the BritPack, as it is not a chance I wish to take. I've never been a man to succumb to hearsay or rumour by any means. Likewise they say rugby is popular in the north as it is near to France and the Basque region, who apparently love a bit of eggchasing; nevertheless there shall be a large ellipsoidal mass residing patiently in my suitcase.
