More snow!

It’s gone and snowed again! The BBC is currently predicting more snow over the next week or so, too (well, “light snow”). We had “light snow” yesterday morning – particularly so in Dundee – but today I woke up to find it white outside, people making snowmen and throwing snowballs, and all that sort of stuff. Muchos fun. 🙂

I sat my driving theory test in Dundee yesterday morning, and of course, I passed. 😉 34 out of 35 on the multiple choice, and I passed the hazard perception with a mark only a bit above the pass mark to be honest, but it was a pass anyway. So that’s all fine and good. It’ll be at least two months before I can sit my practical due to the long waiting list at Cupar, but hopefully I can get that done in May or June. Would be nice, anyway!

Time is flying and in two weeks, I shall be in North Wales again – the holidays are near. I’m not too sure where this half of the semester has gone – it only seemed to have started, and now it’s nearly gone! I’ve got a chunk of work to do over the next couple of weeks too, particularly as I’m leaving a bit early to attend my brother’s passing out parade for the Navy in Plymouth. I was quite pleased that I was able to book a “Super Advance Return” ticket to Flint – £29.70 return (with railcard), as opposed to at least £50 for a standard saver ticket. It means a bit more waiting around at stations (I have to change 3 times on the way there, although only once back, which is nice), but it’s a lot cheaper! Despite what people say, I personally don’t find the British rail network to be all that bad – at least, the routes I take seem to be alright most of the time! Can’t say I’ve ever really had a bad experience – a couple of minor delays at times, but that’s about it.

I was very tired last night as, after getting back from Dundee, I went straight to the union to help set up for King Creosote, a band who were playing in the union last night. Spent from 1pm to around 1.30am there, working hard for most of it – was fun and rewarding though, if tired. Oh, this is on the Ents Crew, by the way (entertainments crew – setting up sound and lighting, lighting in my case, for the event).

Right, I’m hungry, going to get some food, and then check the forums – not really had much time to check tt-forums this week! And then I really should do some work…
