Back to town

I'm back, oh yes I'm back. Back in town, that is London town. I'm writing this from a cosy spot in N21 owned by my uncle, who has very kindly let us stay here while he holidays in Turkey. I'm back down to the NW1 realms tomorrow as I look for a place for term. I'm nervous, to be honest. Nervous of being turned away on my ear at every attempt. Head down, though. Courage.
I need more books for next year as well. Hopefully Gower Street's Waterstones still has that extensive range of French literature it had this time last year. Need to read more..

There's a carrot at the end of this tunnel: we're all going to Thorpe Park on Thursday, should the forecasted thunderstorms keep away. It's my brother's 15th a week tomorrow (today technically now) and he's put in the request. For someone who is only just beginning to warm to rides at a theme park like this, good luck to him. I can't wait to get stuck into the offering myself.

Being a runner, this post would kinda seem incomplete without commenting on the amazing achievements of Usain Bolt. The world record hasn't seen this rate of progression in ages, and it's so exciting to watch it puts the thrill back into it! I'm so happy for Jess Ennis as well; it seems the Brits are unstoppable heptathletes! Once they've got Carolina Klüft out of the way, that is. I need to get my form.
Football's been mostly good too. Mostly, I say. I went to Barnsley on Saturday with a die-hard friend of mine who I've known since Year 7. The day was awesome, despite my dad having to rush back and forth to deliver my railcard to me on time. The match itself left a lot to be desired, with Barnsley playing frankly awful against a Coventry side who walked all over them. 2-0 was almost flattering for Barnsley. Now I said 'mostly', simply because I consider myself an out-and-out Tottenham fan. The joy of seeing us beat Liverpool, a hotly tipped team, outweighed the loss I witnessed the previous day. I like football too much. :)

I'll probably update day by day on Twitter if I find the time.
