3 & a half months!

well, only 3 and a bit months left, and Im getting so excited. Just had a minor panic with some paper work that I wouldnt be home in time to start uni, but it was just a typing error...thank God. And I refuse to be scared by the health booklet thats thicker than most normal books i read! there are whole pages about Bilharzia, S.T.I's, rabies and Dengue fever. Half the stuff I've never heard of before, and the other stuff I think i caught in Ghana. I've never been a hypochodriac (mostly because I cant spell it!) but now I starting to think I have every possible symptom. Luckily I've already got most of the immunisations, so wont have to have too many needles stabbed into me.

Fund raising is still very slow, got a possible idea, but need to clear it with one of the richest men in the world...Philip Green, the owner of arcadia, because I've been thinking of being a "Live maniquin" in the shop window where I work but obviously in huge companies I've got to have clearance from every level, and my manager is so busy at the moment it might never get any further. Just been writing to the proper HUGE companies for sponsorship, like IBM etc, who with many my dad has 'connections' . My fundraising was set back by a massive £50 last week with a snide little man putting a parking ticket on my car for 5 minutes over my time and me running back as fast as possible when I saw him! but thats a bit off track.

hopefully some more interesting things to write about will start soon on the fundraisng front, but at the moment its all just stress, oh except my Swahilli is improving, and I can now propose marriage, and order a chicken sandwich!
