Juggle Juggle or face some trouble
Feb 3rd
I had rather slow day and didn’t start very well. I woke up on time and got a bath running to go back to sleep. I woke up realising that the bath was running and managed to get it just before it overflowed. I had a bath and it took me forever to get washed and out of it. I had the task of finding my key to lock the house up with and took me forever to notice it was on my bedroom floor. Once I dashed to have toast and water, it was time to walk to college. Its a forty minute walk and it was twenty minutes till my lesson started. So I booted my laptop up and sent a email. That meant I didnt get in trouble for turning up late.
When I went to the lesson I noticed that hardly anyone turned up. I connect this to the fact that the couple in my class broke up the night before and nearly everyone was bunking to avoid having a awkward situation. I didn’t think that happened, I just got blanked out by quite a few people throughout the day which made break times so fantastic. I should of spent them doing assignments really but I just didn’t feel like it. I rather enjoyed film studies which was a first for me and I was one of the only people answering during the lesson. I getting to understand it now that there ain’t words that I can’t get my head around. I’m quite excited to doing the assignment for it. I havent worked out what it will be though but I feel I will be able to get good grades in this subject.
I rather glad that the college is taking action against the bullying that happened last Monday (the one before Disneyland Paris). I can’t mention much about it on here but basically a tutor on my course forced me to write a letter which sounds not as bad than it was as other stuff happened which can’t be mentioned. I really broke down after the morning was finished. Ever felt so low that when you cross the road, you are tempted to walking in front of a car? I had that temptation the whole journey home. I rather glad that Disneyland Paris happened as I better than I been for weeks.
Juggle Juggle or there will be trouble. I have various assignments going on right now and currently having to spend all my time doing them. I am spending some of my break from assignments writing this blog post.
Disneyland Paris. Part 1
Jan 31st
So lets travel back in time, say Tuesday night, this was when I woke up from sleeping once I got back home. Why was I sleeping at 17:30 in the afternoon you may ask? I decided it was a good idea to get some sleep because of having to wake up to get to my college at 5:15 in the morning. The thing is that I couldn’t get back to sleep easily because I got rather worried getting told off by the college. I had to note down my thoughts on the situation in my hardback notebook. (That I even used to plan this post!) Once I did that I could get back to sleep with the knowledge I will be able to sort it out when I return back.
Time is now Wednesday morning. I put the alarm clock on for 4am. I slept though it. I woke up at 5am. ‘Crap!’ I said loudly when I woke up. I dashed around for a couple minutes managing to down some cornflakes and orange juice. Got my mother to put my contacts in as I didn’t have enough time to do it myself. Then dashed to the college with a lift in the car. My dad didn’t help by mentioning how late I was every second. Thanks. But I dived out the car and the coach arrived. I discovered when I got on the coach that the Witney folk was right at the back and that it was roasting, I hate warm air when I am travelling as it makes me feel ill. So I didn’t say much on the coach as I didn’t have a drink with me to sip on.
Finally we arrived out the Eurostar station in London and headed for the coach parking area. However the coach had to reverse out of the entrance as the floor ramp wouldn’t come down like it meant to. This therefore annoyed road users that was near the entrance. There lots of car horn action going on. But everyone quickly got out and grabbed their bags. To the station! We got in plenty of time and had three hours waiting around.
In some of this period we went into Costa and I brought a overpriced bottle of water. I couldn’t wait to buy it anywhere else. You have to remember I was feeling unwell from the warm air that I travelled with in the coach. After that I sat on a freezing cold metal seat that froze my bum so much that I ended up standing up. After doing that for some minutes, we looked around Marks and Spencer’s food where which I nearly knocked all the stock off with my large bag on my back. I scored extra by tapping some people with it as well. I am sometimes known for being clumsy. I brought a cheaper bottle of water there that was so much more bigger than the one in Costa which made me feel gutted.
I sat down so more and noticed that one of the girls handbag had one of them big willy bears. I found it funny that we were heading to children friendly Disney with that on her bag. Little did I know I would be seeing worse later on in the trip.. 
Finally it was time to check in. When you check in, you have to make sure you have nothing in your pockets and that it get x ray scanned. So the trick is to put it in your jacket/hoodie to put with your bag. However I was concerned it would fall out of it. Thankfully it didn’t. Also I had to remove my belt which meant I have a groovy shifting walk to make sure they didn’t fall down the period I didnt have the belt on.
We were waiting for the train and somebody thought it would be amusing to play my rap. I was rather disappointed at the group for them to play it in front of everybody. I made this clear to them and after I stopped it, they got the message not to mention it ever again on the trip. How I wish I modified the lyrics to the rap now. Its a hit I guess with everybody though. When the train did arrive it was such a trek down the platform to get to our coach. The journey was such a long one. Three hours in fact. It was however made less boring by eating the brownies I love from the coach shop and listening to Spoitfy on my mobile.
Disneyland Paris. Part 2
Jan 31st
When we arrived at Disneyland Paris train station, it got there early, and we managed to arrive at the hotel minutes before we would get there. it was booked with a different company to last year and I so glad it was as it meant that our rooms was ready to go in to straight away which meant we could settle in. I wasn’t too brothered by which bed I was on and it ended up being top bunk which worked well for me. It meant noone else used it but me. No crumbs or anything. 
The room linked with the other guys in my media group which was cool.
I had a day in the park which I managed to went on all the rides in one day which I was seriously chuffed about. First time I managed to do that with any theme park which I am rather shocked about. Wednesday ain’t a busy day for them it seems at this time of the year. I might do a another blog post reviewing each ride I went on. I had to go on one ride with the tutor that got me in trouble which was rather awkward. His advice of never holding on helped me not injure my back which I managed to before last time I went. I headed back to the hotel before the others in the afternoon, had a shower, charged my phone for abit, and called home. I managed to put a different set of clothes on as well for the evening before the meeting. After the meeting, I headed out with my group.
Took ages hanging in the village trying to find a place to eat at as we had loads of different people to please with the menu. We ended up eating in the Rainforest Cafe. It such a lovely place and I regret not eating out last year. (I only ate at McDonald’s in the evenings last year.) I had a chicken burger which I admitly modified to my needs. I firstly drunk a Coke then braved up to drink cocktails. The one I loved was Tropical Toucan which had a blend of Bacardi rum, banana liqueur, orange and pineapple nectar with grenadine syrup. Yummy! I also sampled other peeps cocktails which got me more tipsy.
When we got back after another meeting we headed to the other guys room that was linked to ours and watched telly. We then went sleep in our room where I got woken up by the girls as one of the guys in my room have them a card to our room. Thankfully they just went next door and we locked the linking door after getting the card back. I had rather good sleep due to the drink.
Disneyland Paris. Part 3
Jan 31st
At 7am I woke up to the alarm clock that I set on the room telephone and ended up washing my hair and gelling which made me feel better about my looks in photos. Headed to the morning meeting soon after to be told we be eating together as a massive group which included the Witney lot. There was cheers and clapping. We also had to some filming for the evening screening which I was expecting. I had breakfast where I managed to burnt the toast. Noone warned me that it didnt have a timer and that you have to pull it up manually. After everyone eaten we walked in to the park which was relaxing and was nice views. I wish I walked last year as all we did last year is catch the bus. Another day in the park and also had to meet up to get the camera to shoot with my mini group. Every mini group had a task to do. We had to do a travel doc which went downhill from the start. We made fun out of Russians and after we shooted it we’re regretted it. In the screening it was facepalms for our mini group. We should of noticed that one of the Witney folk is Russian. Dear me. It ended being okay. I was slightly amused that everyone from Abingdon had the sound perfect with the external mic and the Witney folk messed up the sound. After the screening we was awarded for our good behaviour by having a meal out with everybody. I had roast chicken and chips for my main and ice cream for my desert. Rather good it were.
When we headed back to the hotel, all the guys went in the same room and did some channel flicking. I love international channels. It times when you watch it that you wish you knew more than English. We watched Serect dairy of a call girl under the covers when the tutors walked in. We was rather drunk and was giggling as it was a naked scene and they thought we was watching porn. It was so funny. They asked if it was related to anything we was studying and someone said we was researching ‘Angles and viewpoints’ (a thing we did in photography) which I found rather funny at the time. The tutors laughed their way out of the room. I was really really tired and headed to my room pretty soon after that. It was really late.
Now it was Friday morning. I got too drunk and slept over the alarm but it ended up being okay. Woke in time for the meeting and was so great we had to pack up for 11am so much later than last year 9:30am. This meant I had a shower and packed up slowly after breakfast where I popped my coffee cherry. I got such a buzz from drinking it. We shoved our bags in storage and over the day in the park we hanged with the Witney lot which was really nice people and had a laugh with. Rode every ride again. In the afternoon we got our bags back and after spending long time sitting on the station floor, checked in. I prefer checking in there as they had a more chilled out style.
On the journey back on the train, it had to make a stop at a French station to restart the whole thing we meant we had no lights for a period which wasnt that bad as we had a nice view of Paris. I was also amazed that they had double decker trains which I spotted. Also we made a joke with this lonely man with bags was waiting for a bus which amused us whilst we was waiting. When the train arrived back, we had a few people which included the one of the tutors which thought they lost their passport but ended up finding it which delayed us setting off for abit. It wasnt that long on the coach till we was back at the lovely college. It was a shock how colder it was then France to me. I wasnt expecting ice on the ground and slipped over on the way walking to lift home.
Thats my report of Disneyland Paris. You can read someone else trip report now.
