PP: I'm applying for a student loan. Because I haven't lived with my parents since 2008 and have been self supporting throughout this period, I was trying to get the loan based on my income rather than that of my parents. Unfortunately, I was only able to give proof of my income for 15 of the 36 months needed. I had no fucking income for the other 21 bloody months, I was living off of my savings! For fuck's sake! And because I can't prove I had no income, they won't accept it. So instead my parents' income will be used to calculate my loan, meaning i'll be entitled to a lot less money.

Oh, and also? Because I already have two years on a previous course, I'm not eligible for the government grant I thought I'd be getting, meaning I'll have to pay £8500 rather than £3500. Even if I were to get the maximum loan possible, which I won't, I'd still only be getting £4000 or so. Which means there's another four and a half fucking grand I'll have to pay, which I simply do not have.

So, to put a long story short, I probably won't be going to university this year. I am well and truly fucked.

AP: Lightning storm!

PP: It was supposed to be a meteor shower.

*Stares at Stan*

I know I'm not around much these days, but...

Well, bully for you, old chap.

PP: I don't know if it's just started doing it or if I only just started noticing, but whenever I scroll up or down using my mouse's scroll wheel my computer makes a little buzzing noise. It's quite offputting.

AP2: My TZH book came a couple days ago, and it's nice to be able to see all the little details without getting a headache from getting too close to the monitor.

AP: This reminds me I have yet to recieve my book, which I preordered. It's been so long I'd completely forgotten about it. I assume the same must have happened with Greg and Jenny, I'll send an email now I think.

;_;

Considering I paid over four times the amount of money I currently have for that book, I really would like it soon.

Congrats.  I think I speak for all of the Jager when I say, "Nize hat!"

Nize het indeeds! Oh, and conglaturation.

Interesting. We have both here.

Beer in the grocery stores is unusual where you live?

Huh. 

PP: I was using my drill with a wire brush attachment to remove paint from a piece of metal. It caught my hair and ate the hell out of it. Fucking painful, and I was worried I'd have to get it cut out, losing pretty much all the hair on one side of my head in the process.

Fortunately my housemates were able to untangle it with minimal hair loss.

AP: Made a barbecue today, and it almost looks like a store-bought thing. Also, got some more work done on my cauldrons, just need to attach the handles now.

You know what I want to hear? Steampunk reggae.

PP: I dropped my MP3 player and the lock switch broke, meaning I basically couldn't turn it on.

Fortunately I was able to poke the mechanism with a bent paperclip until the switch turned over, but now it basically has no lock function, so even a little knock can make it skip songs or change volume.
