Here I am welcoming myself to the wonderful world of Blogging. My main purpose of this blog is to keep a history, timeline, recollection, archive, of all the wonderful and not-so-wonderful things I do and encounter during my life-experimenting expedition to London, United Kingdom.
I'm not going to lie, today is probably the first day I have had any realisation of my move to London. I went and got my name changed from 'Sterjo' (Official birth name) to 'Steven' at the bank, just to ensure that all legal documents are consistent, and that I am not mistaken for any sort of terrorism glorifier.
I start a new full time position tomorrow at albion on a 3-month contract, which should see me out til my date with destiny, May 20 (Yes, my flights are booked for 12.15am take off May 20 - Thurs night/Fri morn). I am also currently undertaking part time work with the Football Federation Victoria in a Media & Events role, which keeps me busy on the weekends.
Cricket is going well, we sit 2nd and are playing two not-so-strong sides in remaining games before finals. It really is my last crack with the boys to get the elusive flag we have been trying so hard for since our last in 05/06.
I need to get cracking with my Visa (Tier 5 - Youth Mobility), which will hopefully be submitted by early next week. This is also a chance to make welcome 'Babo the Hibernating Hermit', where you will find me no further than 3m away from my TV, watching my beloved reigning premiers, the Collingwood Football Club, and of course, my soon-to-be 'first-hand' sporting team (if that made sense), Manchester United. I need to get cracking in the gym as well, although I am moving to the UK, where you can never steer clear of beer (apparently). Oh yep, Melbourne v Essendon in NAB Cup 1/4 final, I best be off.
