Hi, It's not very often that I join internet forums. I have real trouble finding any that can keep my attention for any amount of time. I haven't just jumped in here feet first though. I've looked around and it seems like an interesting place with lots of friendly people so I think I'll be sticking around.
I may as well introduce myself... I'm David, I'm 25 and I live in Selby, North Yorkshire. Right now in my life I am just about to become a mature student. I am starting a university access course next month, then hopefully next year I will gain admittance to one of the uni's in York. There I will be studying a degree in English Literature.
I have a real interest in literature in general but my real passion is 19th century English authors. Jane Austen being a favourite of mine. Don't let that fool you though, I'm not as academically inclined as the average Jane Austen fan. My love of literature and my actual abilities sadly do not run parallel. Hopefully my enthusiasm will go some way towards making up what I lack in other areas. I've been out of the learning environment for some time now. I left school at 14 and didn't gain any GCSE's until I was almost 20 so I've got a lot of catching up to do.
Anyway, I didn't intend to write so much so I'd best cut this short. I could probably witter on for a lot longer but I don't intending on falling foul of everyone through being a bore so early in our acquaintence!
Right, I'm off to read, post and mingle! See you all around.
