This is the First of July.


I have accepted a place at King's College to do psychiatric nursing in September. Hello. I was on a bus going past the Strand and they have photos and biographies of famous alumni. This means I too, am going to be great. See: 

"KCL have many notable Alumni. They range from the first Duke of Wellington (who fought a duel while Prime Minister in defence of his role in founding King’s), and Florence Nightingale (who founded the College’s School of Nursing), through to current PhD student and three-times Olympic rowing medallist Katherine Grainger, and medical student Lynsey Gawn who has skied to the South Pole.

Other King’s characters on the Strand include five of the College’s nine Nobel Prize winners (among them Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Sir James Black), together with librettist WS Gilbert; Lord Lister, the founder of antiseptic surgery; Romantic poet John Keats; Bloc Party musician Kele Okereke; satirist Rory Bremner; Sir Ivison Macadam who established the National Union of Students, and Dame Cicely Saunders, founder of the modern hospice movement."


I have already picked out which photo they will use for my biography on the window.

Today was busy and long, but very good. I also learnt all about fixed bike racing. I'm so hip it hurts.

Ouch.
