Since the last post I called up the phone insurance company which promptly sent out a brand new phone to me for the old one. I found this rather neat as the phone I had were a refurb meaning I didn’t have any of the wires or charger even. I had to send so many emails to get that charger.

Anyway. Lets talk about Friday. Well, I didn’t have a phone so therefore it ended up meaning that I didn’t have a alarm to wake me up resulting on me oversleeping and waking up 10 mins before the lesson.

Thankfully I kept hold of the postcard the media people gave me which had the tutor number and called her up. She told me that they were in a different room and when I reached the college, I stepped into that room but got a shock when I found it was grannies on computer. I tried explaining I got the wrong room and I was a student but they couldn’t work Word out. I quickly told them about it and dashed out wondering were the class was. I worked it out in the end and managed to caught up with the work.

In the afternoon, it was video production. Gah! I thought I would of loved this subject when I joined the course but the only thing I don’t mind about it is the editing which I still only know the basics of. In the subject, everybody group is making two adverts. Well the adverts I made suck. I mean, come on.. I’m mumbling in the adverts! Then to rub thing into the womb, Tiff and Key flipping join the group which I can’t argue about as Tiff is the girlfriend of the person I’m working with and they done crap all!

Towards the end of the day, they suggest leaving early and as we managed to get away with it last time. I just went along with it as I wasn’t really enjoying being there.

So yeah that was Friday.

Ugh!

I’m fed up with nearly everything college at the moment. The stress, lack of time with assignments, and the lack of help the tutors provide. I kept on hinting to my tutor that I was struggling with a assignment that she set and just said some nonsense to get rid of me.

Then a couple of days later I receive this email on how not many people done the assignment and how we are letting ourselves down. Well lets stop there for one moment.. If nearly nobody in the group have done it then maybe just possibly we are struggling and need a prep to encourage us to do it. A email that gives a impression that you are a bad person cause even though you spent all the free time you got and stressed to extremes but you didn’t manage to hand it in time. Well sorry.

Also another thing that pissed me off about my tutor is that after my mom managed to injure herself again, my mom contacted the Media department to inform them about it and one of the thing they done is contacted my tutor. My tutor hasn’t contacted me in college or called to check up on me.

I’m super upset about it all. There is too many up and downs going on for me at the moment and I’m never too sure how a day at college will end for me.

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. :|

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.
