    Are you over 23? - maybe you should consider waiting a year - if you are over 23 and you change your address now then you can be considered for a grant in 2011/2012 as an independent mature candidate

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
