Return To Oldbury

Hello readers, as previously mentioned my first semester at university has now concluded and I have returned to my hometown of Oldbury. I will spend the next three months here with my family until my second semester of university starts in September. Admittedly I was is some respects reluctant to return as I will indeed miss the radical social life and night life that Worcester provided me. On the contrary however, I am happy to spend some time with my family and look forward to a chilled out summer. Another positive aspect to my relocation is that of employment. I am extremely grateful to have been offered, for a third year, my summer job as a reprographics worker in a local school. As well as this I have already undertaken some work in the same school as an exam invigilator and am requested for two other exams next week. My good fortunes in employment will allow me to save up enough money to live on next year and somewhat make up for the seriously low maintenance loan I will receive from this bogus government.

At risk of sounding lame and corny I think there is, similarly to Worcester, a small essence of beauty in the architecture Oldbury and its nearby regions of Warley and Birmingham. Thus I will enjoy this change of scenery, at least until I get bored! Take a look at some of this photos and see if I can convince you to share my beliefs.
