Update

I got a First! Obviously I'm ecstatic, I was so nervous before I found out. The results were posted up on the wall, at midday, in some sort of nod to archaic tradition. I arrived a little late, and people congratulated me, not knowing I hadn't been down to look yet. Once I confirmed it, at the wall, I was little choaked up, so I was given wine by one of my tutors... Raine and my dad were there, I called round all the other key people.

Results day was also my birthday - made for a big celebration. We went to Blackpool. When you have very little cash there's not much to do out here. My parents took us out for a meal - we went to West Coast, and had some really good food. Then we met up with some friends and had a classic night out, everything went well. We stumbled home as it was getting light.

Friday was our anniversary. We don't celebrate traditional anniversaries, instead it was our 1000th day together - with not a day apart! We had a quiet night in, with a chinese and trashy TV. This was also the day our engagement was made official, though everyone seems to know. For a while no one could tell if we were kidding about the wedding or not, but I can confirm we're serious. The wedding day is September 4th (Raine's birthday), we're going to have a big party. We've found a really unqiue ring - we'll both have the same pattern. It's made of several bands of different metals: red gold, yellow gold, titanium, silver. We have to order them soon, so they'll be ready for the day. I have the best shirt in the world to wear, no one even try to upstage this shirt...it's not possible.
