Things are getting sorted out, slowly

Greetings once more. (presuming you've been here before, and you're here now)

You may notice some things have changed a little; things are looking a little rough around the edges. I was frustrated by the comparative narrowness of the active area of the page on the screen. So, I played around with a few of the numbers in the code and widened it, I just haven't figured out how to move the round corners yet. I switched the components from left to right, and vice versa, just to prove that I can - I'm not sure which I prefer.

Anyway, that's not what I wanted to write about.

Some of you know that I applied for an MA in Theology at Birmingham in February. After a slight problem with the arrival of my references, I got an email on the 2nd of June from someone I'd never heard of claiming to be from the Theology Dept. saying that he'd recommended that I should be accepted for the course. That sounded good but it wasn't official.

Last week I visited the university for a bit of a look around and met the bloke who sent the email, which seemed to validate his claim, and he told me I should hear officially soon. Nothing has come yet so I rang them today and spoke to someone in admissions. She said they sent me a conditional offer to my previous address on the 21st of June. (The people at my old address claim no knowledge of any post) They're going to send it again to my new address, the condition they attach is that they want to see a copy of my Certificate from Queen's, not the original just a copy. (And I was trained as a printer!)

So, anyway, I can start making concrete plans now and give my notice at work etc...

I do read your blog, honest. It's just this whole blog malarky is new to me. Closest thing to it I've ever heard is "Captain's Blog, star date..." Or was that Captain's log? Well, whatever it was, this all seems a bit newfangled. Takes me a while to catch up.

So you're off to Brum? Don't forget to have a leaving party before you scarper. You'll be missed here. But it sounds great. Jolly good show wot?

Have fun, caz

Er, thanks 'Caz' (I use inverted commas because I wouldn't usually abbreviate your name, I don't think it to be a pseudonym)

You don't have to prove to me that you're reading my blog although it's nice to think that you are - this isn't the Spanish Inquisition you know. (What did you expect?)

I looks pretty certain that I will be off to Brum now yes. Not sure about the party thing, would Mr Tate come to validate it?
