Now and again Dan Hilton posts some of his thoughts to try and understand himself. Enough said.

Feel back in the blogging mood....

Today saw the resignation of a dear friend of mine. I'm sad that he chose to go, yet happy that he's found a nice way out and new job that offers him new challenges and stuff. Tommorrow sees the lobby of the Welsh Assembly about the devolved powers that they have regarding top-up fees. We (the students) want them (the Assembly members) to not bring in top-up fees that would bring the total fees to around £3000. Also individual institutions would be allowed to charge varible fees and thus create a 'market'. Now while market forces can bring greater cost savings and a leaner more professsional attitude to said instituions, education should never be, and if I have anything to do with it, a comodity. Knowledge should be free. Free as in beer and as in speech. I want people to be albe to chose the University they go to on its merits, not its bargain basement price on English & Politics.


Women are still the bain of my life. Well one in particular. Frustrating. Grrrr!

It's been a while since I've felt the need to Blog and tell complete randoms about my life, now is as good a time as any.
In many ways this term has been devoid of real acomplishments rather the slow and painful evolution of stuff. I'm more boring now than ever before yet also more aware of the few talents I have. The scale of what is to be done is also growing, but reassuringly the skills and belief I have in myself is also growing. Women are still an issue to be resolved, don't know how much longer I can be bothered with certain individuals over the coming weeks, nay days even. Unless some sort of response is received.

I worry that my posts seem completely negative - trust me when I say that its not all bad. The fight against tuition fees is now more than ever at the forefront of people's minds and the result to my mind will be too close to call. (Even though my money is on us!)

This week will see the culmanation of months of preparation and vast quanties of drinking. Its going to be messy. Just watched the fellowship of the ring round at Dave's house. Awesome. Simply awesome.

Doubt is sometimes a dangerous thing. Yet at other times a reassurance of humanity, in the face of impending responsiblity.

Safe. nite x
