Hi thereJust a quick update as promised - I'm now back in Reading. Sale of the flat eventually went through after many phone calls and times when we thought we were the solicitors!!! A really nice feeling to know that everything went through fine.Hopefully another update will be on its way shortly..................Fi-x-

I've just looked at my calendar and realised that this post comes a week late, but that has been a blessing in disguise as so much has happened in this past week. Just a quick update about me, I’m now settled in a church called St. Nicholas’ where I am receiving some amazing and inspirational teaching. I will be having a meeting with the youth work co-ordinator next week about contributing to

Hey Everybody,The calender organisation of my life seems to be working! I know that my mum will breathe a sigh of relief that it has suddenly dawned on me I don't always need to be late. I'm in the process of looking for a place to live next year, reading Dave's blog has made me stop and think about where and why I will go where I go. Stopping and thinking seem to be what I am doing alot of at

Hey guysIt's been great to read how stuff is going with all of you. I was happily surprised when I checked the blog yesterday and found three new posts! Second year is great, and now that I'm returning as a settled student (rather than a fresher like last year), I'm finding that I'm wasting less time twiddling my thumbs and wondering what to do next.Recently, I have been challenged by a book

Hi all!I realise I missed my turn before I left but I'd just like to share with you the amazing experience I'm having as a first year at durham university. This week has been freshers week for me, and despite being one of the most tiring weeks of my life has been so much fun.

Hi All! Sorry this blog is late I completely forgot it was my turn! Well after a rather uneventful summer I returned to Plymouth yesterday to begin my third and final year!! scary! The end of the summer was the most exciting time for me as I went on a field trip to Iceland with 40 other geography students for 10 days. It was a fantastic trip I learnt so much and although Iceland is an expensive

Hey All,I know that last year i didn't write a single blog and this year i am already late with my first, even though my dates are written on the calender ( which controls my life) ! I do however intend to try and keep up to date or at least be a day late. So here it goes:I'm back in Winchester now and have settled nicely into my new house.

I realise that I haven't written on the blog for a little while and, since I have left my diary in Purley, have no idea whose turn it ought to be today. I know I've probably missed one of mine, so let me fill you in on some nest-flyer detail.As usual, I am sat at my computer typing this in the northwest of England, though not in any Mancunian mansion. Instead, I am in a somewhat austere setting

Hey to everyone,Hope all is going well and has gone well with your respective exams and years so far.The end of the year at Norwich went well and I feel confident I have passsed all of my exams. I have also arranged and sorted the house in which I am living next year. I'm living with 4 other guys, which should certainly make for an interesting and enjoyable time.

Dave here again. You must be getting fed up of me.Writing a note to Paula to tell her that it's time for a bit of bloggage from Canada put me in mind of all things summery and Soul Survivorish (since my number 2 memory from last year is seeing her on the dancefloor in a truly disco-esque wig). For that time is getting near again. On this, the longest day of 2007, GCSEs have for the most part

It has been great to read up on everyones news before i began typing so much has happened over the year. Like many others I had a number of exams in May and I think I should have at least passed them all, which will make the all day library revision sessions very worth while! Towards the end of this term I have had some spare time to explore the wonders of Devon and Cornwall which has really made

Hey everyone, I hope you are all well and those of you taking exams at the moment arent working too hard. I've been finished for a week now after my one and only exam. It's a very strange feeling to think that my first year has gone by already but I come back for the summer with endless happy memories and experiences. I have made some great friends and can't wait to move into my house next year

Some of us, of course, have yet to fly the nest. So we thought it might be good to say what we're doing so that those who have flown off to north, south, east and west can know a little of what we're doing.J is the one who might be closest to flying off. She's at College, learning about working with young children, with plenty of practical experience. The work is hard at times - bending down to

Well, I have been a little disorganised of late, where the blog is concerned. After creating a deadline for everybody else, I have failed to keep my own! So, some 10 days later than planned, here is a little update from Manchester...As the summer term gets its wheels on the tarmac, I realise that there are only a couple of months left until the end of my life as a first-year Music student.

Nat has sent this update as she enters the last few weeks of her Theology degree at Exeter...So far my final year has been a mix of emotions - we've had lots of fun times as it's a year of 21sts so plenty of parties to go. Friendships definitely strengthen year by year, so firstly I would like to thank God for the fact that I have been lucky and take away with me so many friends after uni.

Like students across the United Kingdom and the Western world, most nest-flyers are heading home for Christmas. Thank God with them for the term that has passed: for new friendships made, old ones maintained, things achieved and learnt. Do pray that they would have a blessed and restful break; divide their time wisely between family, friends and revision/work; and grow closer to God over this

Hi, I will take the liberty of posting on behalf of myself and Mr May as he appears to be far too busy to sit at his lap top for 5 minutes. Both of us are having a good time. I went through a bit of a home sick period but this was cured by a quick visit back to Reading and I've felt a lot happier since. I'm finding it hard to get excited about a couple of the modules I have chosen for this year

Yesterday morning was an early start. Ten past five, to be precise. The myth about students always being able to indulge in a lie-in was shattered by the ear-piercing sound of a fire alarm. Nobody was injured, mercifully, apart from perhaps the one whose hand went through the "break glass in emergency" sign. I realised what a consummate musician I'm becoming when I was more interested in
