A Mundane Summer Awaits...

Well, it's just sped by, my first year at Uni is reaching the end already although I'm going to do my best to make sure I go leave in the most positive of ways, although that's always my aim really! In just about half an hour I'll be heading to Flat 10 which is normally a place I normally tend to finish a night off at! This is en route to I believe the Roxy Club in Central London where we celebrated Tim's 21st birthday a couple of months ago. If I'm in the mood I may buy a cocktail if they're on offer!

I had a visit from Tim earlier today actually, who gave me a birthday present consisting of two packets of Haribo Strawbs (other brands of candy are available) and it's probably going to be the last time I see him in London. A visit to North Devon will certainly not be off the cards in the near future! Definitley one of those who has been supportive throughout this year and probably the best person I've got to know here. Welll!

Looking back over the last year I had no idea I would end up doing all the things I wanted to do involving radio, especially in the dreadful first six weeks, but after getting to know a few more people and getting practically involved I feel that I have been at my most productive at anything that I've done. Getting my own show was a first but becoming the head of production was an added bonus. However it's the team effort overall which has kept me passionate and given me the will to keep going. I just don't think I'll be able to cope for the next three months in Canterbury although I'll try to keep the entries in this blog as interesting and consistent as possible.

This is because I have never got the same sort of encouragement from many people in Canterbury (with a few exceptions and few is the operative word) as I have done here, but the opportunities in radio there are certainly not as accessible. Anyone who reads this probably doesn't realise that they are giving me more confidence whilst I've been here and the fact that I'm still speaking to people who have left Uni for pastures new is extra special. Looking at my Myspace it seems my friend space is made up entirely of those who I've met at Uni (excluding musicians and TV presenters of course!)

However it's tonight that's important and I hope I don't end up dozing off in the Roxy like I did in 333 last Saturday!
