Yay! I finally have a bank account!
This time, I went with my mum to the bank from which my parents have several accounts. And, despite having to wait a few minutes until one of their staff was available, the process was quick and easy – I was approved instantly.
So, I now have an account with £50 sat in it, and my chequebook and other stuff on its way – I don’t get a debit card until I cash in a further £50. I’ve also sent off the form for my student loan, now that I have the bank details, so hopefully I’ll have nearly £3000 in there shortly.
While in town, I also picked up both CD1 and CD2 of “Alone” by Lasgo, which is better than “Something” in my opinion. It comes with a good selection of remixes, too 🙂
Back home, and I’m doing an experiment. After falling in from pressure from others, Mozilla is now my default browser, replacing IE6. And actually, I kinda like it. Okay, so its Java support isn’t so good (I’ve actually turned off Java… I can always load IE if necessary), and some pages won’t display properly (those which use over-complicated, non-standard compliant DHTML or that block any Netscape browser). But it’s quick and stable, and doesn’t impact the system as much as IE does (I have a lot more free memory than usual).
It’s now only 3 days until my results come out… help me…
