In the last few days I feel I've really reached a crossroads in my life, in the same way that I did just before I came to Uni. I suggested to everyone in the flat we rebook the forge for next year because I thought it was going well. Turns out Rick and Cippo didn't want to, so we've been looking for somewhere to live. We've got on the bandwagon a little late though so all the good houses are gone. Out of the 6 of us looking to get a place together I am the only one at Collegiate so they won't consider Eccy Road and would prefer City Center accomodation which I don't really have a problem with. Sheff One is sold out, so we found Portland Tower which was probably the next best thing. Me, Rick and Cippo went for a viewing yesterday and absolutely loved it, then Chris and the other 2 lads are going today. Hopefully we'll be all signed by the end of the day and 4-5 of us will have a deposit in place to secure it.
The flat itself is awesome. There is a massive living area, well nicer sofas than the forge, even a large table and chairs for meals. 3 fridges, a well nice oven, dishwasher.. loads of storage space. We have our own utility room with a washer & dryer, 2 large shared bathrooms which all the lads seem fine with, we have a massive window overlooking The Cavendish if we get the flat we're after. Also, because there is 6 of us, Sky TV and Wireless Internet for £3 per month each! £75 per week which is cheaper than the forge, £300 for bills annually (paid in 3 installments), if its any less they give us money back and we don't get charged above £300. 12 month contract also so we don't have to move stuff out in holidays etc. and get a cool place to stop in summer if need be (which will probably be the case as mum and dad are selling my car so I doubt I'll be home much this summer because I won't be able to do anything!)
Its such a massive improvement on The Forge, I will be so gutted if we miss out but fingers crossed because I rang up earlier and its still avaliable and the woman seemed fine with us getting it.

The one pictured is the Penthouse, which Pop's (me and him in Zante) brother and his mates lived in last year. Ours isn't quite as extravagant as that but still really nice.
In other news, the new student night we're promoting at Sheffield Parties is called Therapy, monthly at the 02 academy. It launches on 28th November, and amongst others, has sets from Murkage Cartel and Boy Better Know which should be awesome and I'm really excited for. Should be able to sell plenty for it once I get my new replacement Blackberry through on Friday.
Tonight I'm going out but taking it easy because I've been good in uni this week and we're getting our essay marks back tomorrow. Then tomorrow night its Cris's birthday so we're all going mental and loads of people are coming up which should be awesome!
Uni work has been piling up, I'm going to be doing a fair bit of that this weekend. A lot of work in in the next 2-3 weeks.
