I ended my last post with a very definite statement that I would be going to Goldsmiths University to study Sociology and Cultural Studies.
Well that might not me so.
I received and email from Durham University asking if I would be able to go to Durham to meet with the department and Mary's College. Obviously I told them that I couldn't straight away as I'm in France at the moment. I have set a meeting with them for the first week I'm back in London at the end of April. First of all I just set it as a 'why not' sort of thing. But as I have let the thought and prospect of Durham ramble in my brain it's becoming more and more attractive. There is no denying that Durham has a much better reputation than Goldsmiths. I also have a number of friends living in the 'city' and so have a house I will be able to live in for the next 2 years at least. It's also a hell of a lot cheaper than living in London.
However, it's not London and I miss my city.
I have resolved to not make the decision until I actually get a firm offer from Durham and I have been to the department and got a feel for the place. Although I have been hanging around there for the past 4 years, I've never stayed longer than about 3 weeks and I've always been on holiday or working on a play.
In other news spring is still in the valley despite a few snowy days and today I took full advantage with a 4 mile run along the river on the valley floor. Tomorrow I will do the same and perhaps even go for a swim in the afternoon. I do wish the swimming pool was open in the morning, I always prefer swimming in the morning not in the afternoon or evening, oh well. Only 25 more days to go and I will be heading back to London for a right ol' piss up in Soho.
