Random rant of the day

I was just reading the local new (because I'm a complete news junkie) and discovered, to my complete horror, that the local council will be probably be removing the free parking spaces over the summer. What a bloody con! How can they justify raking away the free parking when they completely omit a park and ride from the west side of the city. It's absolutely ridiculous!

If they put a P&R site in, I'd be all for it, but personally object to paying £5 to park for 10 hours! - Especially if there is no real alternative. It's just another way of making money. Pay to park or pay even more for public transport It'd all about the council lining their own pockets. Yeah, yeah, they say its so 'real' park users not commuters get to use but, at the end of the day it all comes down to money. So what pensioners who can't walk well can't park anywhere. Half of them shouldn't be driving anyway. Boo Hoo.

I know this makes me sound completely selfish, but hey could very easliy put some 'Pay' spaces in for those and leave other paces open for free. Then see where all these complaining people park!

AARRRRRGGHHHHHH!

ok, rant over...

Its been a long time...

... but I have been really busy.

The end of the third year is fast approaching and soon I will be out in the real world. EEK. I have had assignments and presentations coming out of my ears, so my poor Blog got forgotten in the chaos that has consumed my life recently.

So, only two more proper assignments left. Three weeks until I'm out in the real word.

So what have I learnt during my time at Uni?

  • Take time out for yourself - its not just a student thing, in all of life you need a chance to do what you want, not just what other people expects of you.
  • Don't do nothing -don't waste your time - as Grissom says (CSI fans unite) "you need a diversion"
  • Take advantage of every opportunity that is presented to you - if you don't someone else will!
  • Take risks - people who take risk often reap the best rewards. (Balance this with being sensible and thinking before you act)
  • Enjoy yourself - and be happy
I'm sure I've learnt other things. liek a wohleload of stuff to do with Business Studies, and other lessons of life that I haven't gone into here, but I'm sure they'll crop up in later postings.
