live and learn

the motto of the university of glamorgan is 'you live, you learn'

i think this was written, not by someone in a marketing department, but by someone who accidently booked into their student accommodation, or tried having lunch in the treforest pub or wondered if it was possible to skate board down the 2000 stairs. or maybe it was written by someone who became an olympic steeple chase champion after studying on campus for a few years. either way. it is pretty apt.

did i mention that all the people here are totlaly lovely? friend and i caught a cab (and i do mean CAUGHT a cab: as in jumped in front of, ran behind and basicaly refused to move till he agreed to drive us to cardiff--20 mins away) and he entertained us for 20 minutes with talk about the cricket.

i SOOOOOO want to come home.

but it's off to drink some welsh tea which, i have to say, is no where near as nice as manchester's but about 212% cheaper

and in case this reads all wrongly, i know tht i am a lucky person, in a privilged position very spoilt to be able to travel to distant shores for little cost. but i'd still like to be home....
