One is taking a break

I have travelled up and been in Stoke since Sunday as its half term. Yay!

I supposed to be doing some college work whilst I’m up here but I keep getting distracted by fun things that I can do more easily up here like go shopping or badly doing radio shows. I will live to regret it though when i comes Saturday when I be panicking and rushing work.

The internet in this house is dodgy to say the least, well the wifi is. I went into the control panel but the crappy BT Home Hub is way too simple even in the Advance so I couldn’t do what I wanted to do. Oh well.

I’m writing this blog post on a Mac which is a first. I never been on a modern mac till now and its strange whilst exciting. I’m slowly figuring things out on it and I can see why people are Mac fan boys now. The word press control panel mixes well with the whole Mac look..

I tried to go swimming today however the both times I tired (first alone and second with housemates), they weren’t open. This council sucks at somethings, I slowly love Vale when I’m over here.

I did another gym induction over here so when I visit Stoke I can do gym. Its a good logistic isn’t it. I joined the Keele gym and I’m not use to space as the Abingdon gym uses the most out of the small space it has. This Keele gym also have more modern models of the the equipment. Only fault I have with it is that they lost my form this morning however they let me go in and they found it by the end of the session. Its all good.

Anyway I better get off this Mac before I get addicted to it. I just want to stroke it and admire it. :P

Crazy CD Buying

For some people Internet banking helps people make sure that they have money in their accounts. However for me, when I see I have some money in my account I am tempted to spend some of it. For once I managed to save some money for couple of months which was good. This have gone out of bank and transformed into CD though now as after months of temptation I decided to spend half of it. Sod it I thought, its my birthday soon so I am going to treat myself. :P

I will try and get some more details on the Subway development and maybe some photos. This will have be some time next week as I am travelling to good old Stoke for half term as I felt I would be more bored right here and spending some time with people more towards my age would be nice for a change. I love my parents but its not the same.

I shall not buy tickets too far in advance in the future. I am forced to pay £10 extra as I want to change the date of when I am travelling back. Not too bad. I was scared that my ticket said I couldn’t change it at all. I have to see how it goes when I try to change it.

One day left

I have only one day to do then its half term for me, well. I always have Wednesday off from college and I don’t have go in on Friday cause they are doing some wonderful training or something. Thursday won’t contain much effort as it involves taking photos around my town centre.

Today was crappy for me. In the morning I wasn’t awake ( wanting to sleep in lesson), and the task wasn’t exciting. One thing I told about is that some people think that Star Wars isn’t a sci-fi but a western based in space. In some ways it is I suppose. I think that you could say that it follow more conventions of a western then a sci-fi, however I can’t remember Star Wars.

In the afternoon I was holding a piece of paper for white balance when we were moving around filming leaving half of the group behind and that was of the brain deadening I’ve done. The group was too massive and most people couldn’t have a role.

Next time in that lesson though, we have been spilt into groups of four and I am okay with the people I am with. We are going to make a documentary and we already have some ideas. I hope the group can get to Didcot! *hint hint wink wink*

Then it was English. Now a week ago I thought it would be a good idea for some stupid reason to try a couple lessons in another group. I totally regret this and I will have to tell them to move me back to the overcrowded group I was in before. Neither groups are perfect but at least I prefer Shakespeare comedy over tragedy.

My music tease has managed to get really bad. I am sick what I am listening to. Maybe I should start listening more to Radio more often. Well I am defo going to listen in to my sister show tomorrow lunchtime.

Category Year round up

Please note: Photos in the post I have linked to may be broken due to the many server changes this blog had.

2007 is nearly ending and what a eventful year its been for me.

It started off with some snow fun and having great time in TGI Fridays. Apart from them two things I didn’t really do much that was exciting at the start of the year and the blog had its first ever Hiatus.

The next eventful thing that happened to me was going to my first ever gig which happened to be Keane. At school I got my first ever DT which was at the PE block. I took a photo of me wearing a red nose (now password protected) with the Walkers ears.. I later regret doing this as I uploaded it here which then meant other people saved it on their computers. The cold weather were damaging the cars at my house and caused problems for me.

In March, I was the first person to use a Key on my bus (not official but true :P ), everybody around the school had red hair but I didn’t as I had a brain to know the school wouldn’t like it and Virgin Trains didn’t cock the trip to Stoke at least.

In April, I nearly got sued for saying how crap a local band was. I decided that I didn’t get on well with the people I hanged around at the time (I didn’t like the bitching and the judging they did) and made a big choice. I buggered off and accepted the invite by Tom Loader and hanged around with his mates. My friendship with Tom Loader probably wouldn’t never of happened if Miss Buchanan didn’t force me to sit with him at form time.

‘I used to felt that I’m generally the one that now stand there in a group of ‘friends’ and has nothing to say that could relate to the conversation… I’d try and join in abit I felt a fool and small/silly for sayin’ something cuz I thought that it just didn’t fit in. Sometimes I used to just wanna sit in the corner and hide. I don’t feel like that any more with my new group of friends, yes I call them friends, and I’m talking and laughing all the time.’

In May, I was forced to talked about my dislike of some foods (I was a tiny bit mad) and ended up talking bananas. I was struggling with the coursework given to me, and wasn’t handling this in a really good way. I was basicly sorting my life out in this month. I changed drastically and felt more happy by the end of this month.

The same sorta thing was happening for afew months. There isn’t much worth mentioning till it gets to June. It was the month that my first ever own computer died. I started getting my arsed into gear in PE and started taking part in PE. In Science, I decided to ignore some good advice and exploded a glass tube which had a rather loud noise. I went to The Feeling gig also.

At July, some major events happened that effected everyone. I went to London when they found bombs and Abingdon flooded which meant I stayed in Stoke for awhile.

August nothing much happened apart my mum handbag got nicked and I went to a folk festival in
Cropredy. September is pretty much with the same as in not being eventful apart from Lulworth Cove.

In October, I was invited to the school on the first day of the half term holidays to do some English revision. I sided on some ice and injured myself, and saw the work happening on the school grounds.

In November, my age increased as I had a birthday and I discovered a thing called a razor. It didn’t shred my skin..

And now we have reached this month. December.. Well apart from seeing loads of movies at Cineworld and going into Oxfords lots.. I haven’t done much this month. I wonder what 2008 will turn out like?
