So what's up with Paul?

As some of you may or may not know, I am not going to South Africa on vacation later this year. This is because my current contract will not be renewed.

With all that said, I'm thinking of leaving the big city for something a bit smaller. I'm likely going up to Edinburgh to find a job there. It's got a business industry only second to London. I'll hopefully find a job there before I move. If not, BUNAC/SWAP have an office in Edinburgh for me to take a look at job postings. BUNAC/SWAP is the company that helped me get my visa and set up here.

So this means that I'll probably be in Scotland for about 6 months. Doubt I'll come back with any accent (sorry Stacie). I'll probably get my own flat or something.

Regarding school, I'm taking a look at Open University (www.open.ac.uk). It's fairly well respected, and was referred to me by the head of my company's Marketing Department.

There's a pub meet tonight. I think we should have more pubs back home. There's a pub every 2 or three business establishments here. They all end in 'Arms' too. Devonshire Arms, Gloucester (pronounced Glawster) arms, Queen's Arms, etc... I'll probably be heading to the pub meet. Nice place to meet people.

Anyways, I'll be getting nice and pissed tonight. Hope you all do the same.

Cheers
