Various uni prospectus from Derby Uni.. contains Stoke-on-trent lolly!

Its my second day in Derby and I have to say that things have been rather random. Yesterday I travelled up in the afternoon in my sister car and she packed her car full with different items for the house that she moving into with her partner. I was crammed in myself but the journey wasn’t that bad even though I had a hamster in a cadge on my lappy.

I went to sleep on this camp bed that already has some lovely holes in it. I woke up at 4am because my weight has just tore the whole thing apart. I was so glad they were planning to get rid of it anyway because I have had rendered it useless now. It’s a shame cause it was better than directly sleeping on the floor.

Anyway, moving on to today. I’d got up at 8am to have a refreshing shower and cornflakes whilst seeing disasters that the emergency services have to deal with on telly. Not exactly something I wanted to watch really but the cable video-on-demand didn’t work at the time.

At lunchtime, I decided to help out by mowing the lawn. I stupidly thought that such a task would be simple to archive and that I would be munching on another snack within moments. I was so wrong by thinking this. I had to put this pesky mower together and then I found that every five seconds I had to clear the base of it or it wouldn’t function. Ah well.. least it did the job.

Much later on in the afternoon at around 3pm, I arrived in Stoke where I unplanned went out with some people I knew from the place to the park as they were looking after the neighbour kids for some reason. I discovered that I would fail so badly if I ever wanted children.

I went to the house earlier than the people at the park and went out with my sister in the car. When we returned, we discovered the locked them out. During the time they were waiting, they deweeded the front garden which I was amazed by as the two years I visited the place, not once they took much care for it.
So we went out to the garden centre, for them to spend around fifty quid on plants. Not like you can get much for that price these days.

So that was my rather random day. Sorry if I rambled too much. :/

My road today..

I finished my last post saying that I hope it wouldn’t snow or if it did that it wouldn’t close the college. Well guess what happened when I woke up late this morning? I looked at my phone for the time and panicked rushing outta bed and putting my college clothes on. I then peered outside the window to get blinded by the white stuff, plenty of the blinking white stuff. My parents confirmed that college wasn’t happening and I felt disappointed.

I went to look at Facebook quickly to see what people was up to with the snow and all. Turns out that they were planning to go to the Abby and make snowmans. I was debating joining them but when I stepped outside to take photos for this blog and twitter I thought otherwise. It was really cold and judging how pale they were in the photos, they felt it. They had a wonderful picture of the market square though with snow and it looked quite odd. It was neat how the council gritted the paths though and it turned out to made good sections for different people creations.

Like most of the week though, I was hanging around the house being bored. I was tempted to tidy it but I lacked the effort or the drive to do so. I had a lovely hot bath though and while the bath was running I repaired this sliding fabric door with matching white duck tape. You could call the repair I did was rather dodgy, neat is most certainly not a word to describe job I did.

Anyway, I really do not want it to snow tomorrow. Well I do as I don’t like Friday mornings but I hoping reverse thingy wotsit will work on the weather system like it did on the last post. :P

Everyone alarms in the room went off at 8am like planned and I even programmed the hotel phone to wake us up. I had the shower first then Adam managed to steal it before Sam. Sam had to rush as he only had 5 mins to shower and get out to the meeting point. I was one of the first to walk to the breakfast place and it was alright. I had acouple of bread rolls and lots of hot chocolate. I wanted more but couldn’t be arsed.

Found the group I went around yesterday and catched the bus. I can’t be bothered to type about the rides but I had a good day in the parks. (I will add more at a later point) I had lunch in the park and had a nugget meal, notice how it doesn’t mention chicken. Well it defo didn’t taste like chicken. I enjoyed it though..

In the late afternoon, people gathered into my room and began pissing about. I get all worried when people behave like that as part of my autism I think and didn’t want to pay if they broke the fan. Then the subject of shaving James eyebrowns came up and at first they wanted to do it on the top bunk of the bed in the room. I made it clear to do it somewhere else so they moved into next door which was linked.

I was getting worried when they joked about doing it to someone else and I felt unsafe from the point they said that. When I saw that they did one of James eye browns and was what I thought forcing into it, I panicked and told one of the tutors about it. They was pissed that I dubbed them in and had ago at me. I’m a honest person and I don’t make up stuff for whatever the reason. So when Beci asked me what I was worried about, it just flowed out of my month.

I went to my room and secretly cried to myself. I wanted to just go to sleep but ended up slapping water over my face to try to hide the fact I was upset and went with the group to the bus feeling awkward what happened. When I arrived in the village I saw my proper mates Bradley, Tiffany, and Kay and they asked if I wanted to go back to the hotel with them as they sensed that I wasn’t happy. I ended not having dinner and snacking on Crisps and Coke.

I watched Disney channel in their room whilst we stayed up for the late meeting time. When everyone was late for this meeting, they was drunk. Kiraon kept telling everyone that ‘Big men have big willies’ and somebody kept asking me if I liked their hat. It was funny though.

It took ages for me to get to sleep as everyone in my room and the linking one was hyped up from the night out in the bar. This really pissed me off and Sam sensed that I wanted to sleep. He was great as he kept hinting to James to go back to his room. But still, they all mucked about till like 2am.

Best of: Dragging myself to Disneyland Paris

Waking up at 4am is more easy than I thought it would of been. I somehow managed to get sleep early last night which meant that I have had the same amount of sleep that I normally have. Still I thought I would oversleep the alarm as I normally get up at 10amish.

I was one of the first people at the meeting point at the college. Richard and Bradley beated me though. Richard was in the dry as it was raining but it took me afew moments to realize where he was. Everyone soon followed after me. The A level people wasn’t that social and didn’t mix with the us much. The coach arrived and I was the first person the hand my bag over. I don’t aim to be the first, it just ends up being that way. Didn’t take long to get to London and I wondered about with the group which ended up sitting on the metal seat that felt like that they were frozen cold.

Disneyland Paris stationGetting checked in wasn’t bad but it took me along time to get stuff outta my pockets which annoyed peps behind me in the line. When we was in the seating area I took the camera off my neck as it was heavy and I was so tried that I left it behind. However luckily others noticed this in the group and picked it up for me. I felt well embarrassed about that.

Once we got in the Eurostar train itself, it looked well dated inside with the brownish colours and I would thought they would of tarted it up abit. I didn’t think about getting a magazine to read on board the train and wish I did. Everyone ears was popping thoughout the jounary which I didn’t expect to happen but I suppose it made sense as the channel was on top of us.

When we arrived into Disneyland Paris, we checked our bags into the storage and went into the main park with the group being fellow people on my course and Richard. Richard set a misson for Ryan which he set for his older bother which did the trip last year. The mission was to go on the rollarcoaster starting from the bottom being that Cowboy one to Space mountain being the top.

At lunchtime, I ended up eating in pizza place. It was really bad as the pizza wasn’t precut and you had to use these plastic knife and folk with a cardboard box. I just ended up using my hand completely and didn’t eat all of it. I felt well ill afterwards.

Over the morning and after lunch I done most of the roller-coasters which was really good . It was quick it wasn’t raining but as it was cold, the parks are not that busy. I don’t mind going to theme parks when it cold at all. I rather it be cold then hanging ages outside sweating.

Disney Village at night.In the afternoon we was let into the rooms. I had Sam and Adam in my room and I was secretly happy that I didn’t have anyone I didn’t get on in the room. It was good that everyone a key card to get in to the room meaning that you didnt have to stick together all the time.

In the evening I went into the village with Dan, Sam and Callium which was alright. Ended up eating McDonald’s which was strange seeing how they adapt the menu for the country. Thankfully they had a picture of what I wanted on the counter and I just pointed then paid. On the way back to the bus, I rung my mom and Keane started playing which was ironic as my mom loves them.

At night time, people just went to bed and didn’t piss around much. I woke up loads thoughout the night though and didn’t get a good rest.
