I, Mongoose

.. Hope you all had a good night on new years eve, and all the best for the year ahead. Good luck on any resolutions you've made - I'm still working through mine, but it'll probably be something along the lines of loose some weight, exercise more (I say this every year, maybe this year will be the one!) and try to learn a new skill, whether it be computer related or otherwise.
I've also decided I'm going to go to university this year so, providing I get a place, I'll be starting a foundation degree in network security at Sunderland Uni in September, which I'm looking forward to. As I've mentioned before, I'm not a great fan of essays and things, but at least the subject matter should be interesting, and it'll hopefully mean an end to end user support work in callcentres. God, how much do I want to not work in a callcentre anymore! My girlfriend is also hopefully going to uni at the same time to do a nursing degree (bloody nutcase! :P) so we can both be scruffy students together. It'll mean money's going to be a bit tight for a few years, but we reckoned that chunk of time where we're really skint is preferable to being students separately and being a bit skint for much longer.

On the subject of planning what you're going to do with your new year, have a look at this article on Lifehacker about good ideas for resolutions, and actually pulling your finger out and doing them...

Have a good one people.
