I’m rather confused by my lesbian sister of mine as I recently discovered her blog by typing her username in to Google like you do. Whilst I won’t mention her real name, she calls herself Jay on this blog [not related to the one in the blogroll] and I really can’t understand why as she links to her Facebook which contains her proper name. I would never link to any of my profiles myself as I don’t want to encourage random strangers visitors.

I managed to get myself wet today as I was searching for a trolley at Tescos and it took awhile for some more to arrive. For a change I went to their Cafe which isn’t amazing place but I was upset as their coffee machine wasn’t working.

Since the 2007 flooding that happened I was worried since when it rained but today the heavy rain didn’t really fraze me much. I don’t like the rain but it not that bad I suppose.. at least I don’t live a country where there is volcanoes or earthquakes which damage places. I don’t think this country is that crap as it made out to be as there is much worse places to be at.

The college has treated me yet again even though I haven’t even had a full week yet. Media department has decided that their media students are going to go to the cinema. Maybe we will go behind the scenes? I’m quite excited about Thursday.

I thought I couldn’t post today as it took lots of trys to get Firefox working. I refuse to use Internet Explorer.

My temperature is just like my current visitors chart, sometimes its high (like the 64 visitors) and sometimes I’m shaking as it soo low. I’m not feeling the greatest today as I couldn’t sleep last night and today I’m showing signs of a fever. Not the best thing that happened to me as I get enrolled tomorrow and I don’t want to be in a bad mood. I may have to go to the doctors if I don’t feel any better tomorrow.

I have been taking steps to recover though such as having some extra sleep today and trying not to move about too quickly. When I first tried to get some nap, I got a call from a nationwide pet store responding to the job application I submitted a couple of weeks ago. They want me to do a few hours of work on Thursday doing all the different things I would be doing on the job to see if I still want to work for them. This cheers me up.. I just wished that I asked what I supposed to wear.

Anyway I better get something else to eat before I decide to go to sleep again.

Yesterday I received my enrolment pack from my college and I was waiting for this packs for ages so I was glad when it arrived. This pack has all the useful information like when the drop in days are, shockingly when my enrolment date is, and other information such as the fees and start of term.

My £95 course fee is same for either media course so if I do well in the GCSEs I can do the BND and if I do okay, I can do the First Dip. I feel that I have made the right choice doing Media at the collage as I felt that my school has left me down in many areas, and going into the sixth form would be stupid. Also the sixith form doesn’t have their own Media suite and can’t offer what the collage does.

Wikipedia freaked me out though as it used to mention that there is more students then media jobs, this has now got removed as there wasn’t a cite to prove this was true. Even if this was true, you could still make money from media from making a website such as Weebls Stuff. They made flash videos that people found funny and it showcased their skills. This meant that companies contacted them to pay them to create stuff for them. A recent example of this is the Cadbury’s Creme Egg Twisted.

One of the things I found amusing in the many documents of the pack is the risk assessment bit. It warns you of the activities you could be doing and what the risk are. I do take it seriously and agree with it but you have to be stupid to do some of the things it mentions like using dangerous props or walking onto train tracks. It not just a list of what you can’t do but advises you how to do things safely like with fires, that you should be over 10 metres away and have permission from the fire brigade.

I chucked the bus information out of the booklet as I will be doing either a 3 mile walk or cycle to the collage. I wish that they included more information about them two things as it would of been helpful. I’m happy with the concept of not catching a bus again as I will be saving loads.

Once I have enrolled, I would need to agree that I won’t take part of any computer related activity that could disgrace the college or make the collage open to legal action. This means that I will never mention the name of the college on here and try not to talk about the collage as much as possible.

I can’t wait until college starts.. I’m all excited!

Red sharpie pens don’t mix with skin

sharpie

What a day today has been.. Really strange and mad could be one way of to describe it. I had people crowding around me pressing their pens against me to sign my shirt and people decorating me neck and face. I had quite alot of different of designs on my face as I kept washing the ink off not to mark the skin. This went so well until I forgot about the last time they drawn on me and I left the ink on my face and neck.

When I arrived home, I thought it would wash off easily but after hundreds of attempts it really didn’t. So I decided I look search how to wash it off on google. The main things mentioned to wash permanent ink off was toothpaste, nail remover and alcohol.

First of all I decided to try dabbing nail polish remover over my neck. So I basically poured half a bottle of the stuff on bog roll then onto my neck. It stung like anything and my neck started looking and feeling like you got sun burn. It really wasn’t a good idea at all. Also the smell of the stuff was making my eyes water and I started coughing. I was on the floor with pain. It did sorta work though but it didn’t remove it all off my neck. (Edit: Do not try this at home.. my neck is still red and its months after i written this post)

Next thing, alcohol, or to be more approx.. Cider!! It didn’t really had any effect apart from making my neck sticky, making me smell like a alcoholic, and making me sad after I wasted half a can. So I moved on to toothpaste.

I had no idea why toothpaste would do anything but I wasn’t going to question it. I dashed to the bathroom and started squeezing the tube all over my neck and rubbing it in like sun cream. All I archived with this is that my neck started stinging again and I smelt like a obsessed teeth cleaner.

So yeah, thats the last time I’m trusting Google!
