Pre-uni update

I know I've been really quiet here lately, but I'm doing an update now while I wait for another YouTube video to upload...

So first things first, I'm moving to Uni in around 9 hours now, I'm excited, I'm extremely fed up with packing and, naturally, I'm ill. I managed to catch a cold, presumably from the college meet the new students day, when your doing Q&A with around a hundred students one of them is bound to give you a disease, even if you don't take them behind the bike sheds! To be fair the cold is dying down and I think it might be gone completely by tomorrow, but it was really really nasty yesterday, one of those really bad but really short illnesses.

I've also had my meningitis jab, which I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have been given when I had a cold, but that didn't seem to stop the nurse, maybe part of the reason I felt so bad yesterday.

Oh hey, in case you haven't been watching then I have to announce my first let's play is completed, I found it interesting, I got a lot more emotionally attached to the game and it gave me the opportunity to practice talking which, as you probably know, isn't my strong point. Going back to my first videos shows me how my voice has improved which is a rather compelling reason to continue. And continue I shall, once my cold has finished clearing up I'm going to start on psychonauts I've done a little trailer to introduce the game, which you can find here, its an unsung classic and I hope you'll enjoy.

Also on the youtube front I've made a little tour of my old computer room, I'm all clogged up and the rooms a mess, but its a little slice into my life so I figure it might as well go here, or at least it will once its uploaded...

So, yeah clinic today, nothing like going up to London to waste the hours between 7 and 4! I say waste which is probably a little harsh, I need to go and its for a good cause, but still spending most of the day before I move going up to the capital does seem rather fruitless. Long story short I still won't be getting the prescription I'm meant to be (T-blockers) until I move, whereupon I'll be under a different PCT who the clinic knows will give me the prescription. Its all to do with clinical trials, problem being that there aren't really enough trans people in the country to perform clinical trials, so different PCTs have different opinions on whats safe to prescribe

*sigh* no-one said it was easy being trans.

I brought up the subject of my stepdad too, I mentioned him a little while back, basically mentioned all of my worries about him. They said that they try their best to weed out people who lie and cheat their way through the system, but admitted that some do get through if they are determined enough. Not really the news I wanted to hear, however at least my psych is being honest with me, I suppose that's a good sign right. Well considering how honest I am with him he'd have to be... the things he knows about me... if you think I'm open on my blog then you know nothing compared to my psych!

So that's about it for my last update from this house, at least for 9 months or so, its going to be weird moving out for the first time ever, it's also going to be weird for my dad and brother who are used to having me around. Especially for my brother since he'll have to wait in for his own deliveries now, and take his shoes down to the shoe repairs all by himself!
