This morning was thirlling. Driving 60 miles an hour down some nearby country roads that had curves. I loved every moment of that lesson. It was the most fun I had since Disneyland Paris. Well in thrill sense. The only boring part was doing some hill starts. I used all the gears during the lesson aswell. Big thumbs up to the driving instructor to trust me to do some of that stuff.

My dad brought me a Sub today from Subway of course. I had the Sub of the day which was the Meatballs with melted cheese. I have to say that was the nicest sub that I have had in awhile though I never had one which has dripped. Once I finished the sub I discovered that there was cheese all over my jeans! It was a pain to clear with the one tissue left in the store. Oh well. Good times. :)

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. :|

Dell fixed it!

DellI nearly forgot to mention that my laptop is now been fixed by Dell. It turned out that the motherboard was broken and that why it wouldn’t charge. I sent it off the day before I went to Disney and when I came back it was magically fixed. What a good turnaround!

I still think that Dell needs to rethink if having email is a good idea as it just slowed things for me and calling them was the way I sorted the problem out. I also think that they should get people with a more clear voice as I couldn’t understand what was being said half of the time. I don’t care where it is based along I can understand.

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.
