You should just ride a bike and smile.

I really need to get back on to my bike and ride to my collage plenty throughout this week as it only a couple of weeks until I have enrolled in collage and handed 92 quid of cash over to them. I also want to get out of the house and do something. This could be something that I could do and it doesn’t cost me a penny.

Its getting really boring for me not having any mates nearby my house or not having Laura about now. Living with my parents is depressing sometimes when you haven’t met with your mates for weeks, I would of gone to Stoke if it wasn’t with results day, drop in days  and enrolment day clashing with that idea. Why do I have to live in a street that is filled with old granny’s and young families?

I just have to appect that most my school pals are bastards for not keeping in touch with me throughout the weeks of time off. I would appreciate them not keeping in contact if they didn’t have my mobile number or if they didn’t have me added on social networking sites but most of them have me on both. I could of had some good times hanging about and going places but they chosen to ignore me completely, just because there in Didcot and I’m in Abingdon. Its not like there isn’t a bus idiots or that my Dad isn’t on sick leave for weeks.

Mewh - I know that I have met people that I get along with in collage so I’m not that pissed off but its just sad as it would of been fun and would of improved my time off in a great deal. Oh well..

Results day is looming

It has just shot into my head that it is only five days until I have to drive (well let my parents drive) into Didcot for the last time to pick up my GCSEs results and either have tears of happiness or great disappointment. I already know that I have 2 D’s which are for English and Core Science but I may get some C’s as I resat English, know I done well with Tech and was predicted a C for Additional Science.

I’m not that bothered by the results as I know I can go to collage either way with the two D’s I already recivied. It just means that it will take one more year if I don’t get three C’s which one has to be in English, and it would be nice to just do two years.

I sort of getting over Laura going up to Stoke as I have been used to before. It just I’ve never been so brain dead bored before. I really must get a of this house as much is humanly possible. Maybe I get into swimming again or walk the dog daily as which she should be having anyway.

I don’t know.. One thing I do know though is that the 3rd of Spetember is the most appealing and nerves jiggering day ever. My first day of collage I think.

Jack the screaming hamster

Jack the sleeping screaming hamsterOn Wednesday,  Laura (my sister) got me a new hamster probably as she was missing her hamster and wanted a hamster at both places. This hamster is the youngest the one I ever had and I think its like 16 months old by looking at its teeth and by how it screams when it’s upset.

I was only at Pets at Home as I was hanging at Jane’s and we had a trip in her Mini to go to this reptile store that is near my house. She had a long chat with this women in the store to get some advice and then she brought £90 worth of goodies for her turtle. Afterwards buying the things, the women recommended something that they don’t sell but is sold in Pets at Home. Hence looking at hamsters and falling in love with new named Jack.

I was well worried about looking after this chap as I’m finding it hard to relate to the thing as it was brought in a spare of a moment thing. I wasn’t expecting a hamster on that day. I will look after the hamster well though as I had a few hamster before. :)
Today I was well homesick and feeling sorry for myself as Laura went back to Stoke last night. I sent her a text this morning but I suppose she hasn’t reply back as I wouldn’t either if I was as busy as she currently is. I didn’t do much apart from nudging Jack throughout the day when it was awake. I also was building up use of my new daily contact lenses by wearing them for two hours.

Now, most people have a problem with getting them out and you would of thought it would been the same for me right? Seems not as I have great difficulty getting my eyes wide open enough to get contacts in. I can get contacts out quite quickly, I just wish I could get them in just as quick. By the time I got them in.. my eyes are sore from all the attempts.

I think I will have to wear the contact lenses for four hours tomorrow. As I only got a trial pack of five and currently got four left after wearing one pair today, I will have to dodge Sunday as I have to have some to wear for the Wednesday appointment.

My mum says that my contact lenses are bigger than the ones she wore when she had contacts. I suppose things would change as it been like 30 years since she last worn some.

Yes, photos from me are now happening again. Woot!

It wasn’t that bad just ‘bad’

16072008 I’m sorry that I’m posting the day after it happened yet again but here I go. Yesterday something which I was dreading throughout my childhood happened, my mum had a massive argument with my dad then drove off only to return to get changed into her work uniform.

I suppose I had it lucky as a child as some people I know have parents that have divorced or something like their Dad dying though their childhood and I didn’t even have my parents arguing till last night. I knew something wasn’t right about my parent relationship though, I never seen them hugging much, holding hands or even gross.. kissing! This is what I lead to believe of what parents should be doing in movies such as Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging.

I was kind of fazed this morning as when I went downstairs, I thought that my parents would still be fallen out with each other but they was perfectly happy eating breakfast. Maybe its down to my mum night shift and my dad having a snooze. Yeah, I happy for it to be that way but I didn’t quite recover from feeling poop last night, so I was frustrated that it was just being ignored completely.

I’m feeling fine now, I’m just bored as I’m normally am. I can’t wait until I can move out of this place but I feel that my mum never wants to let me go. I also feel that she would go completely bonkers if I left her alone with my dad.

Oh wait, I forgot to mention that I went to Waitroses and Tescos looking for a job but they didn’t have anything suitable for me. I need temporary but everything temporary been taken up at June. I couldn’t of got a job in June as I went on holiday then.. Where is the free newspaper? :P

We could burn things

Yesterday I received my enrolment pack from my college and I was waiting for this packs for ages so I was glad when it arrived. This pack has all the useful information like when the drop in days are, shockingly when my enrolment date is, and other information such as the fees and start of term.

My £95 course fee is same for either media course so if I do well in the GCSEs I can do the BND and if I do okay, I can do the First Dip. I feel that I have made the right choice doing Media at the collage as I felt that my school has left me down in many areas, and going into the sixth form would be stupid. Also the sixith form doesn’t have their own Media suite and can’t offer what the collage does.

Wikipedia freaked me out though as it used to mention that there is more students then media jobs, this has now got removed as there wasn’t a cite to prove this was true. Even if this was true, you could still make money from media from making a website such as Weebls Stuff. They made flash videos that people found funny and it showcased their skills. This meant that companies contacted them to pay them to create stuff for them. A recent example of this is the Cadbury’s Creme Egg Twisted.

One of the things I found amusing in the many documents of the pack is the risk assessment bit. It warns you of the activities you could be doing and what the risk are. I do take it seriously and agree with it but you have to be stupid to do some of the things it mentions like using dangerous props or walking onto train tracks. It not just a list of what you can’t do but advises you how to do things safely like with fires, that you should be over 10 metres away and have permission from the fire brigade.

I chucked the bus information out of the booklet as I will be doing either a 3 mile walk or cycle to the collage. I wish that they included more information about them two things as it would of been helpful. I’m happy with the concept of not catching a bus again as I will be saving loads.

Once I have enrolled, I would need to agree that I won’t take part of any computer related activity that could disgrace the college or make the collage open to legal action. This means that I will never mention the name of the college on here and try not to talk about the collage as much as possible.

I can’t wait until college starts.. I’m all excited!
