    Oh, is the uke any good? I was just thinking about buying it.

    Anyway, I've got work, so I'll chat to you soon .
    If you're into more Folksy stuff then it's really good. It's a more relaxed instrument, really.

    Have fun! And hoping you feel better

    I originally applied to Castle but I got reallocated to St. Aidan's. I love it though and couldn't imagine myself anywhere else! It also makes no difference academically at Durham as no teaching is done in each college, so the college is just where you socialise and get the chance to get involved in loads of really fun and different stuff. Each college is slightly different but they all have amazing groups of people in and their own traditions to really instil in you your sense of college pride!

    river island :eek: sounds like my worst nightmare. I hate clothes and fashion and retail :eek: But job's a job eh? Good day at work? I spent like 3 hours applying for menial non grad jobs and 2 hours applying for internships and stuff. ...pretty depressing day, apart from when GB won 3 gold medals!

    Bitchy, really? How come?

    I sort of do - I volunteer at a Cancer Research UK shop, been doing that for over a year now. Have tried to get proper work but this small town has nothing going, and I don't think i'd fair well with a job and Uni, so getting one in Nottingham would be quite impractical.

    It's just..very cold. The staff never treat customers with respect or kindness, the manager's really mean to me (wouldn't let me stay off work todaycause she didn't believe I was ill), and myy coworkers are always bitching about each other.

    Nice! That's great experience. And I see what you mean.

    I get what you mean, that sounds crap! Are you gonna look for work in Durham at all?

    Are you feeling any better today, btw?
