Knee update!

I now have my knee in a brace to stop it twisting, not really sure why however but it is something to do with the ligaments. More importantly though I can’t drive for two weeks as it is my right knee. I’m quite annoyed about it but on the other hand I’m not.

On one hand I get to hobble along everywhere on foot and save money on petrol (or lack of) but on the other knowing I have a car and can’t nip around to a mates house at any time is just annoying. I wanted to go to Curry’s today to check out some prices but I couldn’t as I wouldn’t have got there on time on foot! thankfully Matt was around and drove but still I love driving and can’t for two weeks!

Uni update: I’m now enrolled on Further Programming Concepts with C++ should be fun. Instead of Mobile computing as it clashed to much. Also I’ve got a hell of a lot of work to do with Cisco! Fun Fun Fun!

Start Uni Year 2 Tomorrow

I start back at Uni today, as its passed midnight, just checked my timetable. Looking forward to it but not as I have busted my knee while having a kick around and now I’m walking around on crutches :(

Not broken anything, but got to go back to hospital to see if I’ve fractured a ligament. So this means I can’t drive and I can’t really walk.

Good times!

Module Change

I won’t be taking Learning and Innovation as the module has been cancelled, not enough people perhaps? Anyway I’ll be taking Fundamentals of Mobile Networks (I think its called that).

I hate the rain!

I had a little bump in the Astra today. A very common accident. I was coming back from the Showground heading on to a roundabout the car in front looked as if he was going straight in, but didn’t he stopped. He said he was but I think it wasn’t very confident with his new car. I didn’t stop in time however, I blame the rain.

Not much damage done to the other car, a 55 Focus just a small hole where a bolt had come out of mine and punched a hole but there is a bit more damage to mine. A bolt sticking out the front, love to know where that came from and a crack behind the number plate and the bumper seems to be sitting at an angle so I think the reinforcer behind the bumper is bent as well.

Great timing really, loan soon so I’m thinking that will pay for my damages but waiting on a quote from the other driver.

I suppose it could have been worse.

On the bright side Uni starts soon and I’ll be a welcome week rep for the freshers week, Training for it starts on monday so going back to Stafford sunday night!
