Current Affairs

Wow, no updates in a week…doesn’t seem that long.

Anyhow, the family are back now, so the house is no longer my own. Nevermind, it was fun whilst it lasted.

I’ve been upto a few things this week. I’ve spent the last couple of days playing around with the plugins system in MyBB. What better way to test than to actually make a few plugins? I’ve run into a few problems but most so far have been the result of little mistakes in my own coding, not bugs in the system…isn’t that always the way. :P

In terms of learning to drive, I’m both happy and very annoyed at the same time. I’m happy that my driving has picked up a lot recently and it seems I’m making much more progress. I’m annoyed because the waiting list for driving theory tests has suddenly risen from a week to damn near a month. That means I can’t book my practical test until well into September, by which time I’ll be starting at university. On top of that, tests go up today to £45.50, or £55.50 for a weekend test. That is a huge amount of money for what is in comparison a very short test. I certainly hope I manage to pass first time or else I’ll feel robbed having to pay for another.

I’ve also managed to find some time this week to get a little bit more composition done. Admittedly not much, but I’ve finally come up with an ending for a piece I started a long time ago. I’ll probably be publishing it on Sibelius Music sometime in the future, so I’ll be sure to link to it when I do.

What else do I need to post about? We’re having a new back door put in tomorrow. Isn’t that exciting? :P

The only other “big” thing happening at the moment is that in eight days I’ll be getting my A Level results. Those are the results which basically decide where I go next year. I’m pretty sure I’ll get to go to the university I’ve chosen, but nothing in this world is set in stone so I’ll have to wait and see. I’ll post more on results when they eventually come through.
