That's what I seem to be running in, fast as my ageing legs will carry me but still far too slowly for my liking. We've been back a week now, and this is the first chance I've had to come back here and explain what I've been up to since my last post.
Well, we have our flat, a furnished, 2-bed, ground floor apartment close to the harbour and in sight of the Maritime Museum. It's also on the bus route out to Tremough, within easy walking distance of town, and has secure free parking. By a long way it's the best place we've seen, so the decision was quick and easy and now we're completing the necessary paperwork before moving in on August 7.
Right now it seems there's so much to do, and so little time. I'm also working on the reading list, which has something like 23 authors on the fiction list alone, never mind the non-fiction, and the textbooks are expensive! Looks like this is going to be quite an experience.
I've also written a short item for the place we've been staying at in Cornwall for our holidays this past five years whilst rewriting the first item for the University magazine - (was to be 300 words, but that's now increased to 500)- so it seems they're short of volunteers (or should that be idiots?) Ah well, that's part of the reason I'm going down early. Facebook is going crazy, for some reason I seem to be picking up new friends at the rate of 2 a day!
I'm also still writing for Pia... just... She's right, I certainly need to pick up the quality, but there seems so much to do right now. Basically I'm buzzing...

Good to hear all is going well, Chris. Busy but exciting times! Enjoy the ride and everything will fall into place.
ReplyDeleteYou'll do well. You know this.
ReplyDeleteTextbooks may not be as expensive as you think! Amazon has a good used book section. Simply get the ISBN number of each text and run a quick search. It saves both C and I hundreds of dollars each semester. Also, ask your instructors if earlier editions of the textbooks are acceptable (if this is an option). They are always less expensive than the latest edition.
