Wow.
In 6 days, I'll begin my finals. I've been at Uni for almost 6 years now... and if all goes well I'll soon be Dr. Pillon. Isn't that weird? I'm not sure I like how it sounds to be honest: "Doctor Pillon".
And so, as is my way, I'm rather pensive. I have been for a few weeks now. My life is all abut to change... I'm getting a job! I've essentially been in school for the last 20 years of my life, and so the thought of that is a little scary. Not least cos my job is going to involve being responsible for people's lives... well at least some of the time.
Perhaps more is that fact that I'm going to be saying goodbye to a fair few friends as they move off to other cities to start their jobs. I'm pretty sure we'll still keep in touch, and hopefully meet up every now and then, but it's going to be sad all the same. There are people like Rachel, Andy, Katharine & Nick who I've gotten to know only this year, and they're ace! So I'm going to be going on holidays to Liverpool, Edinburgh, Leeds & Devon I think.
Then there's the student stuff... I'm really going to miss that 10% off thing. And being able to get up at 9am, watch America's Next Top Model and doss about.
Ah well, it's also a little bit exciting, I'm gonna be a doctor!
But I will still be silly, jump about, laugh all the time... just maybe I'll have to do it more in private now!

I'm Not Stupid!
I've just watched Shipwrecked on 4oD. And it's done my head in.
Why do they feel the need to KEEP ON re-capping what has literally just happened. I mean, if I wasn't actually watching the programme, then maybe I'd need to be constantly reminded that "the Tigers have made a secret deal with Mike... and Matt is unaware that if he chooses Tigers, he will be sent home". Though maybe it says a lot about a programme that they think it must be so boring and unwatchable that you won't be paying attention.
I actually started counting how many times the narrator rehashed this really-quite-simple-to-understand premise. He said it 7 times. In 48 minutes.
I actually burst out laughing when in the "tense moment" after the two new arrivals had chosen Tiger Island, the narrator says "and so now, the Tigers must choose who to accept".
So I'd like to make a plea... if you are so stupid that you are unable to follow a programme as intellectually challenging as Shipwrecked, please go ahead and maroon yourself somewhere.
(Phew, rant over)
