Never too late to change your mind. It may be a life changing decision.

Two years ago, I wasn't going to attend AR09. I was having way too many issues at home, with my partner of five years. One night the week before at 4.30am, I had a heartbreaking chat with Rictus over MSN. He told me if I didn't come down to Essex and have a break, he was coming 250 miles to fetch me!
So, early on the Friday I got out my gear, loaded up the bike to toddle off on my own, I'd asked him to change his mind to come, but he was far too drunk to even get out of bed to wave goodbye, I'd already taken my eldest to grannies for the weekend, thankgod!
Remember, I loved him rather a lot, but certain things had gotten rather tiresome.
Over that weekend I chatted to friends I'd not seen in ages, made some new friends, and generally gave my head time to breath, to give myself clarity over some life changing decisions.
I wasn't to know a new friendship would turn into what it is now.

Food for thought. Live life with no regrets. My life is how it has been....wouldn't change any of it.

1- Do something more than stay at uni 5 years and have more than a weeks holiday in that time

2- leave with the HND and get job

2- Cut and run from the ex a year before you did

3- Don't drink yourself into oblivion
