I have travelled up and been in Stoke since Sunday as its half term. Yay!
I supposed to be doing some college work whilst I’m up here but I keep getting distracted by fun things that I can do more easily up here like go shopping or badly doing radio shows. I will live to regret it though when i comes Saturday when I be panicking and rushing work.
The internet in this house is dodgy to say the least, well the wifi is. I went into the control panel but the crappy BT Home Hub is way too simple even in the Advance so I couldn’t do what I wanted to do. Oh well.
I’m writing this blog post on a Mac which is a first. I never been on a modern mac till now and its strange whilst exciting. I’m slowly figuring things out on it and I can see why people are Mac fan boys now. The word press control panel mixes well with the whole Mac look..
I tried to go swimming today however the both times I tired (first alone and second with housemates), they weren’t open. This council sucks at somethings, I slowly love Vale when I’m over here.
I did another gym induction over here so when I visit Stoke I can do gym. Its a good logistic isn’t it. I joined the Keele gym and I’m not use to space as the Abingdon gym uses the most out of the small space it has. This Keele gym also have more modern models of the the equipment. Only fault I have with it is that they lost my form this morning however they let me go in and they found it by the end of the session. Its all good.
Anyway I better get off this Mac before I get addicted to it. I just want to stroke it and admire it. 
Tomorrow morning (if the snow or the ice haven’t closed the college), I have to do my radio show in my group which will be graded by the tutor. I am the producer of the show which basically means that I am the leader and also that I do the mixing desk. I wish I didn’t say we go first as I haven’t had a chance to play with the suite due to the college being closed the whole week. When I wake up I need to get some songs and print things out but I’m too knackered at the moment to do that.
On Saturday I went to the gym and for the first time did my routine without a person assistant which felt good. However I forgot to do the stretches after the warm up which was silly of me. The water that they sell there really annoys me as the label keeps coming off and the plastic is thin. I will have to remember to bring my own for Monday.For some reason I get a rush from the gym and feel alive. its really strange.. I felt warm for most of the rest of the day as well.
Today I went to see ‘He’s Just Not that into You’ and I’ll give it four stars. I thought it was funny, had a good soundtrack and you felt cheerful and smiley at the end of it. I loved their version of ‘Somewhere only we know’ by Keane as they remixed it to work with the scene. I liked how you thought you could guess the storyline but the result was a tad different to what you taught was going to happen. I suck at reviewing movies but that my badly written view.
Talking about Keane, my family is going to see them at The O2 this Friday. I’m a tad worried on if the weather will muck things up and if my sister be able to get down from the North. I emailed their customer support to see what happens if you can’t attend due to extreme conditions however they didn’t want to comment in time for this post. I don’t think I should of mentioned my blog when I contacted them.
I couldn’t manage walking to college today so I booked a taxi a night before as I haven’t yet seen a back expert to click everything back into place yet. Thats tomorrow afternoon thats happening. Anyway back to the taxi journey. The taxi arrived on the dot but I didn’t realized the difficulties it had getting outside the house. The snow on the road made it a car ice rink. When it got to the main roads it could go back to normal speeds. It wasn’t that expensive though.. Six quid. 
Like you might of heard in the news or seen yourself, it snowed well today in the south east England. Its rare to see any snow where I live in Abingdon, so having the amount we got today was impressive. When I arrived it wasn’t soon till Dan and James wanted a snowball fight with me, and I tried to join in but dodging the balls was painful.
Radio was fun as I done most of the work already. I need to go to the station over the week though to get used to their mixers and get the timing of the show on spot. I only have one run to do the radio show with Micheal and S and as the producer I really don’t want to muck things up. Looking forward to doing it though as it shall be fun. Me and Micheal played around the interview as we was bored and produced a remix of it. It is rather strange:

English went well for achange. It was basically wrapping up the poem lessons so you could do a lovely essay on it. I had to complete a big A3 sheet which was fun. I say that with sarcasm. But it did really fly though the whole hour and a half I had in there.
I spent most of the breaks inside as I didn’t want anymore snow ball fights nor did I want to get cold. I really enjoyed today though and finished early at 4pm.
I woke up atiny bit earlier that morning as we found that we didn’t allow enough time last morning to get up. However it took me to have a shower first again to encourage Adam and Sam to get up. Breakfast was more easy as I knew the ranks of it all now. I had orange juice plenty of times and I was drinking it just I after I poured it from the machine. The glasses was really small though. I had my useal of hot chocolate and bread rolls aswell.
I went around the park with slightly different people and started in the studio park for a change. I started on Aerosmith and went on it like five times after each other. Each time moving slightly more to the front of it. It much more better at the front of it. I worn my glasses this time as James told me that you could and was strange how you didn’t loose or break your glasses on it.
I was feeling really ill at lunchtime and just wanted a drink but Sam encouraged me to have a meal. At first he thought I didn’t have the money and offered to pay which I thought was nice of him. However I said I just didn’t feel good and paid for it myself.
I had my group photo shoot at 2pm and the group found me and Jessica. We ended up going on this ride where you drive a lawnmower car around a fixed track. I had a faster car than the car in front of me which was annoying as I wanted to go flat out.
At the end of the day I managed to lose both of the group and panicked catching the bus to the hotel. I met up with some people I knew there though. After doing this quiz and the photo shoots outside, we hanged about waiting for the bus. I was on the floor facing the other way and when I dashed for it, I managed to damage my neck and back. I didn’t feel the pain at the time.
At the station, it took ages for check in to open. I was the first person in to it though but ended up having to line my bag up and waiting for a sniffer dog to smell all the bags. This meant that everyone else in the trip went on and I was stuck there till the dog was happy.
The jounary back home is when I noticed I injuryed myself when I sat in my train seat. I couldn’t be as social as I wanted to be as I couldn’t move very much. I went to the cafe though as standing up felt better. I had the last chocolate brownie, a bottle of water and a hot choccie. I loved that brownie when I ate it.
The coach was waiting for us within the Eurostar station and jounary to the college was alright. My mom was already at the college when I got there and got home quickly thankfully.
