So tomorrow is D Day. Well I say that, tomorrow is the day we set off to go to uni! Exciting times right? By now I should definitely have everything packed and sorted and things ready to arrive in force. Well guess what, as a change, I don't!
I spent this morning packing everything into bags and boxes ready to go, as well as sorting out lots of other things, including my Grandma's internet, which surprisingly was on my Jobs list. Not only that but everybody wants to say goodbye to me. I think they must all be really glad to see me leave!
So with my entire room in boxes this has left me with nothing else to do but to write a blog right? No, actually I am procrastinating because I have to photocopy some information to leave for my parents, bits of radio to find and then drop off in all sorts of places and things like that, but I thought writing a blog would mean I have to move the least far distance. Which is true to a certain extent, although it is quite a workout on one's fingers really!
One thing you never really out into the equation when you head off to uni is how much stuff there is actually to do. The thing is, you sort of think it is like moving to a new school: All you would have to do is turn up on the first day and tell someone you were there. Turns out they don't babysit you at Uni.
I have been spending lots of time filling in online forms and registering for this service and that trip to the moon, downloading this app to access my Uni email account and that app to access the pentagon. Only joking, I can't really hack into the most secure place on the internet, although it does sometimes feel like that with the amount of forms I have to fill in and passwords I have to enter. I can't just go for the traditional Password or 12345, my university IT account has to be an unrecognisable combination of letters and numbers. How do you even think of one and then not have to make a note of it? The IT department must get so many emails saying: "Let me in, I can't remember my password." Ok, we have reset it to sunshine again...
But still, while it feels like a military operation, I am quite excited to be moving into my new home for 13 weeks. For one, I have been so bored over the summer I had to tell the internet about my trip to a farm in Yorkshire (which I visited again a week ago by the way, just in case you weren't bored enough already, I will write you another little story about that). So, wish me luck and I will now set sail for Liverpool...

Long Time No Blog
Firstly I would like to make an apology for not posting in a while, but I have been rather busy. Firstly, on monday, as I have explained before, we did the radio again. All day, from 7am - 8pm. Which I can tell you is a bloomin' long day, especially when you are running it. I can tell you that sleeping for about 20 hours was well needed after that.
Although of course, that never happened. All week I have been working crazy amounts of overtime to save up a bit more money for university when I go off in a few weeks time.
This was something I wanted to talk to you about, as I have found out through my own experiences, our student loan will not be enough. Now if you are looking to go to university and things, one of the things you do need to make sure you think about is money.
How are you going to get your way through uni? It is also well known that a big part of going to university is the er... social side of things, and this is something you also have to think about. Do you have enough money every week to last you through the year? If not, then how are going to make sure you do? Do you need to find work whilst you are at uni, or even find work during the holidays when you are home too?
These are all questions that I think need their own post to help answer and for me to give my opinion on them, so stay in touch for the next installment.

Recently I've Been...
So me and my friend enjoy watching a certain YouTube gaming channel by the name of YogsCast. Some of you may have heard of them. Well if you haven't then you should have.
Every now and again we have a bit of a chat about it and get all too excited. This instance happened to be on a walk down to the local shop to get a drink. As it usually is to be honest with you. We were chatting and it inspired me to write a post about it. I have to say it is one of my real enjoyments, guiltily, to play Minecraft A little 8 bit game, with no goals apart from to dig up dirt and other resources and build stuff out of it. It's that simple. But because it is that simple the possibilities are endless.
Now I am a mega-fan of the whole gaining wealth and dreaming about money, as you may have found out from my other blog: http://tomstopmoneytips.blogspot.co.uk/. Subsequently these kind of games that involve building your riches really appeal to me. So Minecraft is a big tick. Now one of the other games which they have just started playing based on it's latest release is Sim City.
Now this game is amazing. In my personal opinion, I may go as far as to say the best game in the world! It just appeals to me so much. Now upon telling this to my other friend, not the one I went to the shop with, but a different one, he said the only the aliens and zombies are good in SimCity. That's to say he is no longer my friend (joking of course).
I disagree with that strongly. I don't really know what it is about it that I enjoy so much. I think it is the excitement of building such great wealth and power maybe? I really do feel the thrill as you start to imagine all the things you can do and build and buy and go absolutely mental with it.
That kind of thing really fires me up I suppose. Like the idea of a growing business empire. So there I have said it. I have told the internet. I am a materialist pig.
Apart from it's not the thought of what I could spend the money on. The lottery really doesn't fuss me. You could put £1 million in front of me and tell me to go and by myself I really nice house and car. Obviously I would take it and do it, but it would be nowhere near as exciting as if you said here is £1 million pounds. Go and turn it into 10. I think it is the creativity and thought which you have to put into little entrepreneurial things that are really exciting. It's almost as if it is the challenge of making money that is what is exciting.
