Swapping the netbook for a laptop
As the IT Helpdesk decided to act on the wif and turn it off on the laptop the college gave me. It has meant that all research and stuff had to be done on my computer making the concept of doing work whilst being downstairs with others impossible. Therefore for my main Christmas present this year will be a Dell laptop that I will get tomorrow and the netbook I had will then become shared. I can’t wait till my baby arrives. I have ordered it with Ubuntu but I have a guess that it won’t have the 8.10 release on it so I have to see if the drivers will work if I do decide to upgrade it for the 3G support for my Windows Mobile phone.
Among loads of stress I have is a worry that the flipping mobile has got lost by Royal Mail and that I haven’t got proof that I have sent it. I wish that they would send you a text when they noted they got it. I havn’t got a clue if they fixed it and its on the way back or if in some wharehouse somewhere forgotton about. I guesss I leave it acouple of days till I bug them about it.
I have got loads of work I mean’t to started on doing some of the many of college work today but I managed to find distractions thoughout the day. In a way I can’t wait till my mom got the new job so she won’t have Wednesday as a day off. This means that I can plan the day out and be able to follow it. I can’t keep helping you out, do drying or shopping with you when I have this amount of work. Geez!
Fox FM logo looks more like a fizzy drink
Something have been annoying me.. Seeing this blinking Fox FM land Rover stalking me everywhere I go. Last week on the way of doing some drying with my mom at the laundry, the car was outside what used to be Wiggys World. (I loved the go karts that was in there) And today when I was at Tesco, the blinking thing is outside the place. I think the whole idea of the car is to peskter young kids to start listening to the station so they grow up listening to this so called local station.
In the photo I took you can’t really see it but they have attached these stupid flags to the car which look really out of place on it and odd. i like seeing things neat and this just plainly annoys me..
The reason I say so call local station is because apart from the news and the breakfast slot on it, nearly everything else is sourced from its parent network which goes to all of the other so called local stations. The logo is just a template which looks more like the style of what the new Pepsi design looks like than a radio station. I prefer this one, I loved that fox and I was so miffed what they got rid of the poor thing. I blame them fox hunters.
I won’t be too upset when the station gets re-branded to a even more generic ‘Heart Oxford’ as all its proper identity got stripped ages ago which is sad. Saying that I am not a proper expert of Fox FM as my hate of it content has meant that i heavn’t really listened to it much unless its been on in a mates car. I rather opt to KUBE radio as I can keep up to date all stuff Keele, and when on the move Jack FM, sometimes Oxford 107.9 but mostly national BBC Radio 1.
The woes of IT Helpdesk
When I started college months ago at September, they decided to supply me with a laptop. Even though I was unhappy about the weight and size of this laptop that looked brand new, I deicded to be grateful and not hand it in straight away. They told me when I picked it up that it should be taken back every three months and I signed a form every though I wasn’t allowed to look at it as my tutor was in a rush to have lunch.
It turns out that I wasn’t supposed to use the wifi and that they decided to disable it by uninstalling the driver when they logged in as admin. I think that this is ridiculous that I am not able to do research at home anymore on it and it renders the laptop completly pointless for doing coursework. I can’t be bothered to lug that frigging thing in anymore if its only pupose is doing word processing.
Another thing that annoyed me today is that the girls is my group that act like they are twins said that they wanted to find me a girlfriend but I would need a makeover and to act like somebody I am not. I don’t know if they implying that I am ugly or if they were just joking but I was abit offended. I think I rather not have a makeover thank you very much..
How is it possible to use the wall as a handkerchief?
Normal blogging will resume soonish, it just I am bogged down with lots of work I am supposed to be doing. On the way out of the loos just before I was going to English, I noticed this stupid sign. How can people blow their nose on the wall? Does he mean stop drying your hands on the wall? How silly..
One of the things that I wish I could of done is clipped the duck tape so that the length of the tape was even as every time I look at that photo I get bugged.
update: I haven’t been to this loo again since but most of the notices in the loos around the campus have been removed. I can understand why somebody could get annoyed by some of the unthoughtful students but using the word handkerchief is just going to mean that the sign is going to be ignored by most people.
Urgh!
I feel so annoyed on the slow process with the horror in video production today. The other group is editing and have shot all their footage while meanwhile my group haven’t even got much footage. I so want to be in the other group as they managed to just go on and do it unlike the two groups that are so called working together that I am in. The tutor for video lesson reminded the class that today and next week is only time left to shoot before it going to the editing suite. I kept having to nudge everyone to do every single task and it took a lot of effort to get anyone to do anything .
At the end of the day I know that the horror movie won’t be the greatest thing ever.. I just want to get the task done and to have enough time to edit it. i don’t think the group should be wasting time to make sure it perfect, just anything will do for this late stage.
Anyway, I was a zombie for the other group after many wasted moments of some of the group going off to get a lab coat and setting up the camera. It took such along time for them to do anything and was too dragged out than it should of been. When it did get the point of doing the part I was in it involed falling onto the grass which I wasn’t pleased about. Someone whack me forward when this happen and now my nose fucking hurts as it is bruised and my glasses went wonky. Wonky glasses is frigging annoying and take such along time to correct them again to be just right.
I can’t wait till the weekend as its my 17th birthday and I shall be up to stuff. Its all very exciting being at the age to drive however it is scary as I am unsure if I will manage to drive a car nevertheless pass the driving licence. I could do so much more in my life if I could drive.
