Contact lenses and Bolt 3D

Shot of a signpost in Abingdon town centre.

The photo is one I took when I was doing angles and viewpoints as part of my photography lessons. I finally managed to email some of the photos I took to post here when I’m lacking a photo. You guys love my photos it seems.

After having to get other people to put them in for me, I finally managed to put contact lenses in myself. Not panicking is one skill you have to learn to do, just stay calm and allow enough time to fail afew times. The first one I managed to put in my left one had to be took out as I got it too mucky. The right one is always a struggle but I managed it for once. I’m alright about my contact lenses check up appointment now.

Today was good fun. I went to the bus stop waiting for ages for the 35a and it reminded me of how many hours I must of waited for this bus when I went to school. I was about to call my Dad for a lift into Didcot but as I was going down my contact list, the bus arrived. As I got into Didcot, I noticed how much more windy it was and had a look in Next hoping to see one of my sister mates working in there. It seemed not.

After feeling awkward coming out of Next, I went in the direction of the cinema but ended up looking around Broadstreet which is a street mainly fulled with charity shops and more importantly, has a Subway. I glaced at the prices to make sure I have enough money left to have lunch there.

I looked at the time and wondered if the cinema would be open yet but thought I give it another few moments. So I headed to WHSmiths hoping to get a drink. Well that was till I looked at the price which was something like £1.79. I thought to myself this place is going to be next Woolworths disaster if they don’t lower their prices. I ended up getting a drink at Wilkinsons that was a only 89 pence to get the same drink of Diet Coke.

Bolt the Dog (C) Disney animation

It was ten to midday and therefore I thought as Bolt 3D started at ten past that it might be open. I really should of looked at the opening time before walking into the door. That hurt badly and I felt like a idiot. I recovered the situation by looking at the opening times and sighing. What to do for ten minutes I pondered to myself and then thought when I went into Argos with Dan for some reason.

The memory was when I finished my mock GCSE exam and did it in a different room to most of the year that had Dan and MJ among others. I left my phone on their desk as for once handed it over like you meant to but I forgot to pick it up. So I dashed back to the school and then chased back to Dan as I wanted to say goodbye properly. He asked when my bus was and said I could help him look at pool table stuff in the Argos till it came. Anyway back to the post, it ended up that I spent ten minutes acting like I was looking for stuff in Argos as it was warm place to wait.

When Cineworld did open up, I was first in and got my ticket with some rather expensive popcorn. I was expecting some cardboard glasses for the 3D movie however I had some neat ones which look like the safety glasses they have at schools. I rather enjoyed Bolt 3D and the effects was okay. Amazing would be over doing things but I can understand why Disney want the rest of their animations to be in 3D. I say be at least three rows back from the screen to benefit the most.

When I got out, I headed straight to the bus stop to check how long it will take for the bus to arrive. I had enough time to buy a Sub and therefore ate one whilst waiting for the bus. The bus was late but I wasn’t complaining because I had times when it never arrived before. On the way back in bus I saw a nasty crash with a ambulance and police that was sad to see.

Overall I had good time today. I didn’t feel so bad about being alone after all and it felt good that I could feel my independence. I’m hoping to go to gym soon but it all depending if my mom can give me a lift. :|

Mocks are almost over

Wall textI had alright week really, only having to attend at mornings to do a mock exam, though in reality (for at least for me) it been a full day as I had to catch bloody buses. I sometimes detest living in Abingdon as I can’t just easily visit a mate without planning it.

Did anybody do any revision when they were suppose to? I know I didn’t. I rather go around a mate house or discover parts of Didcot that I haven’t been to (or mix them two things together).

I went past this fab graffiti bridge on the way to one of my mates house. I had to go back to this bridge at a later point as I wanted to take photos as I loved the graffiti and some of the stuff written on the wall. For example ‘ <— Sorry No view We alpolise for this inconvenience : 0′.

Update (3rd December): I have more breathing space to get Art stuff done as the mock Art exam has been moved due to it clashing with a real exam. :)

'No, chucking youre mobile off the roof would be a great idea.. its poo'

This is the 200th post on ThatGG, woot! I never thought that I would bother to update this blog that much or people would want to view the content but it seems they do..

The end of the holidays is near and well I’m ready for it. :smile: I cannot wait to get this new school year over then moving to ideally the collage nearby to have more of a social life than I currently have.

I went in to Oxford for awhile just to think about stuff and take a break being stuck in Abingdon. I wish I went to Shakeaway though, as I missed going there as I rushed for the bus. Dam these buses coming ideally.

My provisional GCSE for Science came though the post a few days ago, the grade is crap as it dated June 2007 when I did the tests I missed out after that date so I won’t believe that score too much. I liked the heat spot in the corner that turns to white when get warm. I sadly broke my heat spot due playing with it too much. :sad:
