well i did think, nah, i wont bother, but then i changed my mind again, so im relying on u guys to let me know how its holding together down there.....and more importantly how many woolly jumpers i need to pack (no welsh jokes per-lease)

Well seeing as you're Welsh... ok i wont

Yeh i'll be sure to post it up on here about the weather and stuff, and i've heard the surf is better off season anyway, as long as you have a thick wetsuit!

lolololol Dan, you can guarantee i have heard them all before anyway

not a surfer meself, so dont need a wetsuit,more of a beach lover, and i do intend spending lots of time with my head in lots of books, on my balcony overlooking the ocean

(with my woolly jumpers)

Hey that sounds good to me too, need to get my head in a few books if i actually want to get into Plym uni (and out of the crappy landlocked midlands!).

Psychology hopefully, i'm hoping to go on and do a masters, but i might take a few years out before i do that! Didnt realise how much i love newquay and well basically being by the sea, went down for a week this month and it made me realise how crap where i am now is.

what are ya studying at uni?
