Long story short, since my last post;
(About 4 and a 1/2 months ago shockingly)

• I won an election, voted on by >2000 students
• I finished uni-ish
• I’ve been to 2 festivals
• Started a new job (Bangor Students’ Union)
• Trundled along with my old job (Bar Uno)
• I’ve made squash a new hobby of mine
• Took part in a 24 hour radio show
• Lost some friendships and made some incredible new ones
• Made my departure from some societies
• Suited up more times than I have in my entire time here in Bangor up to now
• Held an Olympic torch
• Said goodbye to some of my friends leaving Bangor
• Moved House
• Driven an LAP of Wales visiting all 4 corners!
• Grown up quite a bit too I’d imagine…

And you all thought I wasn’t blogging because I ran out of things to talk about!  Turns out my new house doesn’t have the internet yet, and I actually have to do work when I’m at work (who knew, right?) But I got paid this morning (First real grown ups full time job pay), I get Furniture delivered tomorrow, and I get the internet on Friday! So things in my life are finally going to start settling down!

This means a few things;

A) I might be able to start blogging regularly again!
B) Now I’ve got furniture (tomorrow), got to host a house warming party!
C) You might find me back on XBL, Steam, or Origin!

Stereotypically fitting song: Bob Dylan – The Times They Are A-Changin’

With the new university academic year starting, and many of us at HB towers sharing a common past or present affiliation to student radio, I felt the need to post this video.

It gives an overview of some of the special broadcasting activity in the 2010-2011 academic year from Storm FM.  Incredibly impressive stuff, and something I hope they manage to live up to this year.

A lot of us on Hooded Badger have spent time in student radio during the last few years.  My time included working on a news show called 7 Into 30, assembling news stories from the week into a 30 minute show.  With that in mind, I’ve just been passed this clip via Facebook, and I can’t help but chuckle insanely to myself, despite it being 3:37 in the morning when I frankly should be in bed.  Let the radio related geekery commence.
