MrMaycock.com The blog of a nineteen year old university student

Another fun day.

Woke up at 4.30am today to claim facebook.com/samuel, but was too slow. Therefore, I have http://www.facebook.com/samuel.maycock instead, which isn't that bad.

I then tried to go back to sleep, which didn't happen. Which then set me up to go in to Derby for an Open Day on three or so hours of sleep. Not the best, but it's about normal for me anyway.

Had a letter inviting me to the Great Wyrley Performing Arts High School Oscar's. For my contribution to the arts. I'm not sure where that happened. But I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. Very exciting. Click on the image to the right to see the text of the letter.

Left the house late, so we arrived at Derby late, obviously.

Got on an accomodation tour for Peak Court, as it'd be nice to see where abouts my actual room will be in about three months and a week. Turns out it's very nice. Rooms were very similar to York's rooms, just a bit shorter and a bit wider. Bathroom was identical, and the kitchen was bigger, so it's all good. Not far from anywhere either, which is also nice.

As we were late, we had no chance to go talk to the course leader before the talks started, so we decided to go to the Computing talk for the third time. Thought it was great that my mom could identify Project Natal when others in the room couldn't. Talking to the course leader and some students made me feel less terrible about me probably not getting my target grades. Which is still killing me. Gonna try hard to do as well as possible next week so I can get a few more marks. Maybe even a C? That would be nice.

Went into the city centre afterwards to have a look around, which looks fun. Lots of fun shops. Went home. Now I'm home. And off to revise. So I can maybe get a C.

Farewell. =)
