h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It's been 5 years...

Yeah, five years. Five years yesterday. Doesn't seem it, does it?

Five years of friends gained, lost, and died. Of arguments and laughter. Of articles and conversation. Funny to think I joined at 14... and you all thought I was a lot older Yup, while I was here I went through my SATs, my GCSEs, my A-Levels and now my first exams at uni. I met at least 3 of my best mates here [TB, Rimmsie, and Diablos/Skye..though there are more who do not frequent this site as often who I hold dear] and had some of the best times of my teen years with you guys.

Funny how the world changes.


EE

You've a good memory. Aww shucks

I can't recall how long I've been an h2g2 member.

congratz, smartie!

I feel old now!

Can't remember my exact date either, but congrats

The dates are on your u-spaces

Opti, you're 15th June 2003
Pinny, you're 18th June 2002

Wow, we're all June babies!

EE

Thankyou! I thought that bit had gone from the u-space when i updated it!.

13 days to go til my hootoo birthday

hang on a mo. Is that taking into account my original ps?

Yes, the date on your U-Space doesn't change regardless of how often [or not] you update it

Eep you're the age now that I was when I joined and I've been here over four years myself. Things certainly do change

Happy hootooversary

UNC!

Wow, that is a very weird thought... Also, I used to complain back then that hootoo was full of uni students, but, well, I can't talk anymore

How are you, anyway?
How is anyone, for that matter?

Still a uni student

Good sign

It's been nearly two years since I was a uni student , that certainly has gone by quickly.

I'm fine, Milly keeps me very busy, especially now she's walking . I've been helping out at the local school to see if I really want to teach or not. It's great playing with play dough again

Opti, you joined back in April 2003 I think. I'll have to find your old page to see when you joined, maybe the old you is still on my friends list

Anyways, how are you doing EE?

Opti, I'm right, the old you (U225451) joined 20th April 2003

Aaah, I don't think I realised Opti had another account..

Milly's walking! Ooo, things go so fast Bet she's a real sweetie They start getting really cute at that age [in my opinion anyway ] My youngest cousin's just about hit that, she's a real little bundle of mischief, but with such an innocent face you wouldn't suspect anything

Aye, Temporal Bandit took some time out to work in schools.. He's just about to finish his PGCE in secondary teaching. Though turns out he doesn't really want to teach after all If you've still got any mail contact with him might be worth trading experiences or whatnot, though I can offer you second-hand advice Hope it works out well for you though

Frankly, I'm a real mixed bag. Lots of rather horrific things going on: lost both my Great-Grandma [she was only 82, not really that old] and one of my best mates [who was only 18] pretty recently. And other stuff too, which is just messy and complicated, and no fun at all.
Uni's pretty amazing though, and I can't be thankful enough for the situation I'm in. Okay, being in halls is awful, and my course is slow at the moment, but the people I've made friends with are just fab, and I really couldn't be luckier despite everything

She's 15 months old now . Milly has a very cheeky face though when she's up to no good, a little sparkle suddenly appears in her eyes

Yes I remember he was doing a PGCE, but I'd go for primary school teaching. Going back to university would be a big commitment, so I'm making sure I really want to teach before I apply. My parents both teach as well, so I'm getting plenty of advice.

University is fantastic, I remember when times were tough for me near the end of my first year everyone helped. Halls are awful, I remember well the start of my second year when I started sharing a house, I was so thrilled just to have a front door . It's like another step towards independance then too, as for the first time there's little things like gas and telephone bills to sort.

been a while i stumbled back on here....may well stay :D

awwwh! What a sweet thing!

Aye, as I understand [and I may be mildly misinformed] his other half is doing a primary one, so again, might be worth asking What kind of age group were you looking at? I reckon they'd be really sweet until they hit about 9 Either way

I'm really excited about living out next year Have the smallest room but a MASSIVE kitchen, so I get to cook lots of pie

PG - long time since you've been here

tell me about it...that pro is waaaaaaaaaaay outta date....just cba sorting it haha
