Warsash in 2 weeks and more

Sorry I've not been very attentive here, not that anyone is reading it I am sure, but anyway. I have recieved my joining instructions for Warsash Maritime Academy, I arrive there on Sunday the 10th, between 2 and 6, and then the course begins the next day. I went to Miller Rayner tailors in Southampton on Friday to get my College uniform.
This is the stuff we wear when doing practical work at college (I think???)

And this is the college Uniform

Been trying to fit all my stuff into a massive suitcase we got on e-bay, but it doesn't fit so I'll have to use 2 suitcases.
I've spoken to a few other chaps on msn who are off to Warsash in Sept, they are mostly working for Cruise companies, not met any other Clyde marine cadets yet (thats the company who are sponsoring me). I wont find out exactly which company is sponsoring me untill sometime after I start college I think (Clyde Marine only act as a sort of agent for other shipping companies and will allocate me a company for sponsorship), So I am rather nervous about that. I can not decide if I want a cruise company or not, I think it would be an easier life, but I'm not sure I really want an easier life. It may be more fun on the tankers or the container ships.
