So, it's 2pm, I'm still in bed, when I get a text from my good friend Joanne. She says she's phoned Newcastle college and they said we can go down to enroll, and that we have until 7pm to do so. So we meet at the Metro station at 4, and cruise down. After a long rainy walk through a load of dodgy streets, we finally reach the college (a lot of it is run down) and go to the sports centre where we're supposed to meet a load of teachers etc, get advice and stuff. Only it's empty, and all we can find is a confused security guard, who has to stay there till 10am tomorrow so no-one steals the PCs they have there (last year people knocked the breeze blocks of the building through, and took out a load of computers. Going through the wall meant they didn't set the alarms off. Clever. I think it was Stryke who did it) and all he can tell us is that everyone packed up and left at 4. The bar stewards. Curse them all to heck. So, we had to go home, in the rain again, and we couldn't even talk on the Metro back because it was so packed. So, we have to go down tomorrow... at about 12pm, grr, I should still be in bed at that time!

Only good thing that came out of our little adventure was that I got to see Jo, as although we're pretty good friends, we hardly ever see each other "in the flesh", instead we chat on MSN etc. Ah well.

Stupid colleges, wasting my precious time. Could've been in bed till 5pm today, not wandering around in the rain

Yup. Twas me. But once I got in I found out that they were made in Newcastle, so I dumped them in a river because they obviously not only wouldn't work, but would animate themselves and nick my wallet.
