This week has been okay I suppose. For those who doesn’t understand the whole England holiday system, every so often after like what seems ages, you get a week off which is called half term. At college you supposed to crack ahead on assignments but it didn’t turn out that way for me or anyone else who spoke to me. Anyway, I spent most of it at different locations around England as I think my mom wanted to have trips with me before the whole kidney journey begins, which is fair enough.
The first day trip was on Tuesday and was spent at Milford on sea and Mudeford . Wasn’t looking forward to it as I felt a bit old to spend days out with parents but I was wrong. It turned out okay as I had food outside a cafe with a beautiful sea view and that special refreshing air you get at beaches. The tide was in the whole time I was there so I didn’t bother going on the rocky beach. Only issue I had was my dad being a pain and wasn’t making any effort to include himself or even stay awake in the car. Him snoring in the car really pissed me and my mom. Plus on the way there his directions was wrong. My mom was driving the right way and he told her to go towards Southport or something. I had fun directing back on route. Not. Thank god for Google maps.
On Wednesday and Thursday was spent up with my sister that lives in a village near Derby. I am still amazed how massive the Westfield centre is. For those who don’t know what one of them is, its a shopping centre on a seriously large scale. You wouldn’t believe how spacious it really is till you looked at it yourself. I had a evening getting a few things there which included Croc trainers (which are really light and easy to clean) and a new jacket. I shouldn’t forget I now have a bath bomb from Lush to use. It smells nice.. I am saving it for a moment when I’m feeling in the dumps.
I had my dinner at Pizza express which I loved. I had dough balls which I been dreaming of eating since my last visit and shock horror, a pizza. They like glass bottles for drinks such as Coke which is nice to pour in the glass but it is a shame they don’t have taps as it be great if they offered bottomless refills. I get so thirsty when I’m waiting for my food there.
I spent the night sleeping on the sofa bed. I had a good sleep on it actually and used this amazing cushion that turns into a duvet. I love the Swedish people at Ikea, they come up with some good ideas sometimes. It kept me at a good temperature over the night and the zip was at a location that didn’t contact bother you whilst sleeping. The only problem I had was the gerbils eating their cage overnight causing a annoying sound. I said shut up to them and liked how they was frozen still for enough moments for me to nod off.
I have college tomorrow which I actually don’t mind. I am putting my fingers crossed that the new timetable will be more to my liking. One can only hope however. I guessing he will just do different lessons in the same slots as before which will be dull. Anyway least I will have a hour gyming things up. I better sort my bag out now for everything. Toodles.

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.

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.

This week has flew past. I should say that it been the quickest week yet but that would be incorrect and it would make people cry like babies. I don’t want to flood England with tears somehow..
The highlight of the week has been the photography as it involved playing in the dark room with the groovy red light. The dark room is massive and isn’t a poky small room like my grotty old school one was like. The tutor clams that their dark room is the biggest one for a college in the south. Size does matter it would seem. I might scan in some of my masterpieces I have made.
I have gotten in the flow of college now and is more relaxed about the whole thing. It is nice that there is some faces from my old school but not too many. I don’t feel so home sick if you know what I mean if I have few faces from the past. Yeah, the college couldn’t afford the whole body and only brought their faces.. Oh well.
David is a greatest person ever. For people who don’t know who David is, he is somebody who was in my form group at school and now is in Didcot Sixth Form. He invited me to Ultimate Events but now he have sent me the yearbook I forgot to pick up. They have some great photos of me in there however I laugh at a typo in the book. They mistaken a photo of a group of people I was with that it was in France however it was in Convent Gardens.
Wait I got it wrong. NAGs are the great people ever with the greatest radio show that your ears will thank you for. I listened to their unofficial show and named a dog, to find that it was good enough to win a whole month worth of flapjacks. Don’t have a frown on your face that you didn’t win, and that you are lacking a box of flapjacks. You can win some every Tuesday when you listen to their show, its true!
