Assignment doom and rowing.

A newer version of the one I use

I’ve started getting assignments now. I don’t know why however I am struggling to do them. I did know at the back of my head that this course would be harder than the last one but I didn’t see me getting so upset and stressed over the first couple of assignments. I managed to do parts of one of them now. Its just hard. Doesn’t add much encouragement when everybody starts getting unwell and yourself start feeling ill. However I am unsure if they are ill or taking time out of lessons to battle the assignments.

I don’t like having Fridays off. It makes the weekend feel like a week in itself. And in the week I get this trail of thought that I manage to clean the house, or that all the assignments will be out of the way, or I find the cure to cancer or something, but it doesn’t work will this. I shouldn’t expect this to happen at all as I keep getting sad when it doesn’t happen.

I am so happy that I have a mate to text to all the time as he made this weekend more bearable already I idol him so much. He is supportive of me weather I am at college or by mobile phone. Though I wished I could be more than mates, I know I should be grateful that he is there for me as a close best mate.

The other day at the gym I got checked out by a guy. I was rowing at the time while he scroll past me, to get a dumbbell to put on Bicep + Tricep Curl machine. I never seen somebody do that before so I watched him whilst I carried on rowing. And he kept looking over his shoulder to me. Though thinking now I don’t know if because he was checking me out or because I was staring in amazement to him like a dork. Oh well. Once my time ran out that I set, I just rushed out. I didn’t feel comfortable to chat to him.

Curtains of doom

My room used to have blinds in them which I got along fine with. However they were attracting so much dust and were looking worse for ware. So my parents encouraged me to get rid of the blinds. So today I had to break my 16 year relationship. 16 years worth of dust, mmm.

When I heard my mom wanted to put nets in to my window, I thought of the nets you see when you visit your outdated grannies house. Along with the china and a collection of boring stones and rocks that she is eager to describe the story of. But forgetting where she started so therefore starting again. Anyway enough of my gran. But I was thankful that nets look so much modern these days.So one of the things I got today was nets.

In the same shop I brought some curtains for my room. But you would think that buying curtains would be simple. You would be wrong. You have to measure all kinds of things, double that, divide this. So I did the measurements and got my sister to work out what size curtain I needed. Also I had to buy a curtain rail as when I was younger, ripped the curtain rail off. Anyway have a look below at how my room looks now. The last thing I need to do is to replace the floor with carpet tiles.

Last thing I am going to mention is a moan. There was a person in my old group that was slightly mad. The one which started up a hate campaign that smelt of epic fail due to the video getting pulled down within hours of uploading. It seems that he hates me obversely. I just feel he is so immature posting childish replies to most things I commented on facebook. I did unblock him as I blocked him in hope that he would chill but I had to block him again. Oh well. I don’t hate him myself, if he feels good hating me and doesn’t harm me in the process. Good for him.

I had a good lay in today which was so needed. Hopefully I won’t be as tried as last week as I should be able time the amount of time I need to get up to college better. My driving lesson slot been moved to today as it is my day off and it been push back for a hour. Works so much better this way.

BSM, no longer part of RAC

In today lesson I learnt how to reverse park into slots. Even though my first few admits were wonky, they wasn’t terrible. I was meant to see the lines in the mirror so therefore I think my mirrors wasn’t set up correctly for parking. The hotspot for learning to park is the carpark at Homebase which is near to where Fox FM once was.I found it amusing seeing others doing it so badly. It would of been disrespectful if shown that so I was like so what else are we doing? Roundabouts and more duel carriageways. I like both.

When I finished my driving lesson, it wasn’t long till my mother arrived back from work feeling excused. I don’t know how she manages to do work these days. Especially on Fridays where the NHS compress a full day in the hours of a half day. Anyway, she invited me to go with her to Didcot to pick up dry cleaning. I always get people shouting my name in Didcot but thankfully it didn’t happen this trip.It not like I don’t enjoy iy, it just means I have to chat with people I don’t care much about.

Today was okay I guess, in case you didn’t know today is the day I met up with media folks to watch Public Emeries in a rented out cinema . I woke up more early than I needed to wake up as I was expected to catch the bus but my dad gave me a lift. So kudos to him saving me to wait in the cold for awhile. Last time I had a lift to Oxford for a college thing I learnt to leave plenty of time to travel there because of traffic. Imagine my surprise when I discovered in the normally dread locked roads was empty. This a good thing to most people but it meant I had loads of time before the meeting time in Oxford.

I had a good wonder around the city looking at all the stores that hadn’t yet opened. I brought a hot chocolate from Coffee Republic forgetting that they don’t put plastic lids on their cups. So I looked like a dork with a shaking hand with hot beverage spilling over my arms, tee and jeans. I even had one passer-by giving me the sympathy look.

I received a text from a mate called Sam asking where I was so I looked for him at the meeting point. Once a mate of his soon arrived after I did we did the same wonder that I just did as it was still before the meeting time. During this wonder with them, I nearly smashed into a pole. It scared the lights out of me I tell you.HMV had Beatles day, we went into there. Wasn’t as impressive as thought it would be but I liked that they tried.

Soon the time everybody was to meet up arrived. It was then I noticed that the other groups that were involved in different courses in media was going to act like twats today. One of the tutors joked on how they might of been a mix up on the film that we are watching today and that if it was this independent French film by the same name, he wouldn’t be amused. I felt so much grown up that I reached the stage that I am able to maintain a conversation with the tutors.

I was glad that I didn’t wear a coat when we got in to the cinema as it was really warm like it was the last trip to that very cinema last year. Some of the tutors wanted to speak before they played the film but the other groups was indeed acting like twats as I expected by not shutting their gobs. This was the same case during parts of the movie and they got owned by one of the tutors towards the end when she got proper pissed like I was getting.

The movie ended and I was pretty glad that it did, I had to wait for my timetable then I shot out with my best mate. I think that the heat gets to you in that place, it makes watching any film there quite uncomfortable but I think the fact once you seen one bank raided, you pretty much seen them all. I was getting bored and sick by it. I was cheerful when the lead character played by Johnny Depp was shot in the head as it meant I could go. It supposed to be a upsetting scene I think. Well I had a sigh of relief.

My best mate and his tag along found their bus stop and I said my goodbyes leaving them there as I didn’t fancy waiting for a bus I wasn’t catching. I found a Burger King and ate it on the way to my bus stop. Burning my hands in the process did I mention? I wouldn’t do that again. So that was my day.

I took photos for the blog which is something I forgot to do in recent times.
