I woke up at 8am, or thereabouts. This was a great start to my first day back in the real world.

I didn't really do very much over the course of the day. I spent a certain amount of time doing some audio editing on the computer. I also did a bit of shopping at Tesco and took a friend out for lunch.

My housemate had managed to organise tickets, in conjunction with his sister, for a New Year's Eve bash in Birmingham. He had invited me, after organising the ticket, and I had been uncertain about whether to go. However, I came to the conclusion that I should seek to do more things and that New Year's Eve was as good a place to start as ever.

So I said yes. Maybe that's my New Year's resolution - to celebrate New Year. We went along.

I would even dare to say that it was good fun.
