No snowstorms where I was. Shame. One of my flatmates spent his New Year on the Grampian Mountains in Scotland. I was pretty bored, while he saved his own life with snow axe and complained that it was too warm. (A whole -5 degrees celsius!)
Isn't MIT in Boston? I was wondering if I could apply to transfer there. Though I'm not sure how I'd get funding unless I find some sort of mega-huge scholarship thing. 
How were your holidays, FwT? And all you other people out there? (I assume that more people see this thread than just our good doctor... 
Anyone want to pull my cracker?

MIT is indeed in Boston (or actually i think it's technically in Cambridge, which is only just over the river and is on the same subway system, so it's near as dammit.)
I am also now the proud owner of a Harvard football...

[Goes to lecture Egon on the value of revision, and then thinks about his own revision habits...]
I'm caught in a moral dilemma...
[Kicks ball back to Egon. Dyspraxically. And pislexicully. ]

Holiday Pah! I was back to work on 27th down t'mines [or Tesco's ] I did have a couple of very relaxing days off, spent watching Blackadder and Monty Python [Ni!].
I do have an interview for BUNAC on 25th though! Plus must apply for a loan and apply for accommodation: note to self!

I only applied for my loan last week, I've been living off my overdraft! Gah! 
Don't worry, FwT! I will ride in and rescue you on my charging steed, while someone plays the William Tell Overture in the background! Yeee-HAAAAAH!

[Rides into Tesco's, looking ready for business.]
Alright, fell beasts of the night! Where is FwT?
Evil Overlord (Manager): This is Coventry. FwT is nowhere near here.
Oh? Erm... Oops, wrong store... I'll, um, just buy this loaf of bread...
- Jordan
(The fact that I actually need to buy a loaf of bread from the 24 hour Tesco's a minute down the road is purely coincidental.)
