Aha! So it's finally began to properly sink in that I'm no longer a student. Good stuff. I'm quite excited really, not least because I have what looks like a cracking job lined up. Important things that need doing are:

Get a bank loan
Buy a car
Get lunch

I value my food as much as anything else, you know.

Fortunately, someone I know is selling a car for a grand and a half and the mileage isn't half bad for its age. Unfortunately, the Bank of Scotland didn't want to give me a loan until I start working. The problem is that I need the car to get to work, avoiding an almost two-hour trip by bus in the mornings. Nothing can spoil the buzz of a great new job more than getting there. Well, except maybe for the terrible music they play in the toilets there. So, I need the car _before_ I start work; that way I can get behind the wheel for the first time in four years(!) and work my way up to driving in town.

I considered the whole idea of 0% balance transfers, but that would require getting another credit card for which I'm not guaranteed a sufficient credit limit.

Apart from that, there's nothing much to declare yet. There are no holidays for me yet, since I'm skint.

I'm off to the Mitchell Library now. Partly because I've never been and I think it'll be great to see, and mostly because I can't afford Kent Beck's book on Test Driven Development right now. Oh, and because the weather's been great and it makes me happy.

Food...
