Car Park which I shot a film in the next day.
After taking a break from everything the past couple of weeks I decided to post something on here. Since I last posted a few things have happened, my sister got married and I got enrolled on to my course. Well today is my first day back to college.
God that was boring today. The people in the new group seem nice, a mixture of couple of people in the old group I had plus loads of newbies. The group is so massive I haven’t yet got the chance to know everyone. So big that they will spilt people up into two groups by the end of the week. Anyway, back to why it was boring. Maybe because it everything I did the first week of my last course. Sigh. Oh well..
I am so less gutted about not achieving the mark I wanted in English. Turns I was 15 marks down from the mark I wanted and was because of just one paper I messed up on. Talking to my teacher has removed the worry and stress I had about it. Turns out my coursework grades was one of the highest apparently and that all I need to do is revision for the exams in Feb and then turn up again for the exams. Trust me, I will be revising so much in exam techniques so much over this year.
I haven’t got that much to say so I will just post this. Hopefully with be on a roll of posting this week. Not going to look at my stats as they will be dreadful right now.
It was the first day back to college and it went okay.Today I woke up feeling really active but as the day progressed, I felt more like death. As I was walking there, I got really raged as I got caught be hide this old couple and I felt bad if I overtook them but I couldn’t if I wanted to as they took all the path space.
The timetable has now collapsed apparently for lessons however it doesn’t feel like it. You still have to attend the lessons as timetabled but the only thing different is that the only thing you supposed to be focused on is the Final Media Project. However that is not the case as I have English, Animation, and Meg’s terrible lesson to also focus on.
I didn’t get anything done today though which pisses me off now but for some reason I wasn’t engaged to the work at all. I really should of pushed myself to do something but I just blanked. I saw everyone else typing and I was there just staring at the screen like a plonker wasting the limited time I have left. I have to do a folder worth of paperwork and I only done a page so far.
English was the most dreadful lesson of the day as its in the room I really don’t like and you feel every second that have gone past. It’s a real drag to get to the end of the lesson. I wouldn’t be doing the lesson if Sam stopped doing it. He the only reason why I’m doing it as if I left, he have nobody in the lesson he knows which would suck for him.
I hope tomorrow is much more better than today was.

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 had such a day today, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t that great either. I had Radio as useal which hurts my brain as it was paperwork such as a Radio Clock. Drawing one manually takes Maths skills that I haven’t got so thankfully Shopie did that and though it looked dodgy still, its better than anything I could do. It be fine once I done a computer version..
After that I had my Morning break filled with a last moment Disneyland Paris meeting that mainly was about not to act like a fool and suppiled me with a checklist. I got told who I am sharing the room with and I am happy that they won’t act stupid. I have to bring my passport (so they have a photocopy incase I loose it) with the signed letter in tomorrow. I was annoyed afterwards though as some people I wanted to hang with went back to their ICT course by then.
After that rather short break I had English which was okay as the learner teacher was on today which meant it had a alright peace and wasn’t too dull. Also I got out early which meant that when I went to the cafe I caught my tutor getting pissed off with acouple of people in my group cause they didn’t go to their Maths lesson.
Next up, Research. What is this lesson, I thought to myself as this was a new thing on my timetable and first Monday of the term. It turned out to be time that I start the paperwork for my final media project for this course. I wish they would of given some warning so I could of got my head in gear beforehand.Mewh!
