Ch-ch-ch changes

Evening, y'all. It's been a while, yet again, but quite a bit's been going on. Which is both bad, cos it's stopped me from blogging, and most decidedly excellent, because its been (mostly) enjoyable few weeks. Oh, and it's given me something to write about as well, which is always a bonus.

Err, let's begin at the beginning. My holiday in Spain was good right up until the end. It was a great two weeks of sun, paella and go-karts, and I came back thoroughly relaxed and ready for my two weeks of intensive ancient Greek for beginners at summer school.

G(r)eek camp was brilliant. It was at this well posh school in Dorset, an old country estate with massive grounds, all sorts of stuff, and most importantly, a bar. The Greek was difficult, but I got most of it and ended up getting 70% on the final test, which I was pretty chuffed with considering it was basically the first 8 weeks of a university Greek course in 2 weeks.

More importantly, I had a great 2 weeks on camp. The people there were brilliant, and I made some amazing friends while I was there. We had some good parties, some good laughs and an absolutely brilliant time with geeks, Greeks and mole-estation. Something else pretty amazing happened too, but more on that later...

Results came around when I got back. They weren't bad, 2 A's and 2 B's. I managed to get into uni, which is what counts, and I was only 1 mark off an A in History. Which hopefully will change, with a little re-marking by AQA. But Warwick in October, to do Ancient History and Classical Archaeology. I can't wait!

Then I went to the GCSE results day a few days later, to pick up the results of my GCSE Latin. In case I haven't told you, which is likely, I started learning Latin last summer, carried on after schools and at lunchtimes along with 2 brilliant friends of mine, and took my GCSE exam this year. I  was expecting a C or a B, because it was a 2 year course in a year, and because I've never really had a flair for languages. So I nearly passed out when I looked at the sheet and it said A*! To say I was ecstatic would be an understatement ( I may have actually done a small jig in school), and to make it even better, my friend got an A* too! Not that I ever doubted she would anyways.

Now, uni preparations to be done. Lots of stuff to do, and not much time to do it in. But I'm really looking forward to it, meeting new people and spending quite a bit of my time doing Classics without being considered a wierdo. It's going to be amazing!

Finally, I saved the best till last. On Greek Camp, I met the most beautiful, intelligent, caring, kind, generous, funny, interesting and generally amazing girl I've ever been fortunate enough to get to know, and I fell in love. But just when I thought things couldn't get any better, it turned out that she felt the same way, and we're now in a relationship. I feel like a different person, happier, more content, and generally like a new bloke. I won't go into detail, because I wouldn't want to bore/sicken you, but I'm totally and completely in love, and I'm the luckiest bloke on earth to have her. (There we go, awful emotional stuff over, I promise)

Anyway, together with a few parties and other stuff, that's all that's been going on over the past few weeks. It's been good, and hopefully the rest of the holidays and then uni will follow in the same vein. I'll try and update in a couple of days, but till then, I'll let you get on with your lives.

Peace and love
