And leaving will be happening in only 7 weeks :( Me sad. I've looked into all the options for funding in Teesside and the sad conclusion is that there isn't any. At all. Even for Masters Degrees in Portsmouth there's no funding, but at least living in a house will be free. Thank God for parents, eh. And yeah - I remember saying that Middlesbrough does grow on you, despite the fact that it's a total hole. Strange, really. I mean, the native-and-student population defend their stupid town to the <i>death</i>. It's quite funny to watch their face actually as you slowly break down their argument: <blockquote>"Why <i>isn't</i> your town a shithole?" "Well, erm..."</blockquote> Silliness! Leaving will suck. And leaving will be happening in only 7 weeks ( Me sad.

“Why isn’t your town a shithole?”
“Well, erm…”

Silliness!

It's strange how a dump like Middlebrough can grow on you over time. It’ll be sad to see you go; are you sure you can’t persuade Teesside to fund you? :p
