I had a gym review today. It was one of the most excusing thing I’ve done in a while. I got weighted which is these strange scales that you have to have bare feet so it can find your body fat. It turns out I have gained five pounds which is going forward to one of my goals I’m committed to. They altered my plan which wears me down much more but it could be also that I was incorrectly doing some of the work outs before today. I’m honoured that my file now has gained a place in a different folder system. Its mean I don’t have to bother putting it in which day I plan to go now and getting told off if I don’t attend that day. 
One problem I had today is that person I was going to interview this evening has been hospitalised. I hope she gets well and still wants to do the interview or I will be stressed out again as I will have to find another subject to do. It means also that I wasted my efforts this lunchtime walking to the college to pick up the recorder. However I’m not annoyed as I wouldn’t want to be in the situation having to have a bowel transplant.
I’m looking forward to Ultimate Events which is happening in May. For people who don’t know what Ultimate Events is, its a day out at Alton Towers (a theme park) and then a music festival in a large carpark. The thing I love is that even if you don’t listen to Christian music you can still enjoy the whole event. Another thing I like is that I haven’t got a clue who I’m going with apart from David and I think whats his name. Its bad when you forget a name of a person you know of for years.
Tuesday will be something new, going to London with my media folks and being in the audience of Loose Women. Not like you know I’m on it as you never see the audience. You might hear us. Thats one thing I’m on edge about. I wouldn’t put it past some of the people I’m going with to shout something rude out and getting the group kicked out. I’m not that sure if we be let in anyways.

At the start of the two weeks off college I thought that I would be able to get all outstanding work finished by the first couple of days and the rest of the week doing what I want. It turned out that I did nothing work wize and just lazed about the whole time off. I just didn’t have the motivation and was so stressed when I finished the term. I feel alive again and I’m sure I get back to speed with the work over the weekend.
My final major project idea has already changed. I was going to do a radio doc on Creative Commons music but now I hope to one on bowel transplants and to interview the second person in Oxfordshire to have a bowel transplant. Exciting stuff..

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.

The replacement laptop charger is arriving tomorrow. Only problem about this is that I won’t be in to collect it from the UPS guy. I like how speedy Dell was on getting it to me but its shame they couldn’t waited to a day to send it. They will try again on Wednesday if I am to believe the email which is good. I don’t know if they looked at the laptop yet but the guy on the phone said it would be back within 4 days which means it will arrive when I’m in Disney. Fantastic, my dad will be too keen and fiddle with it meaning he mess up the first boot setup thing.
I helped out interviewing a assietent director today which meant I held a Zoom in the middle of the table cause the stand didn’t work. It was for the interview feature of the radio show I shall be doing when I’m back from Disneyland. I’ll need to make sure I’ve done all the paperwork and check with the others.
I am really excited about going to Disneyland Paris now. My bag is all packed with the new clothing I got because the other stuff I already had didn’t have the right pockets to keep my valuables such as my mobile phone or wallet in if I go on a roller-coaster or to keep the pickpockets out. I just hope the weather won’t drench me too much in France though I do realise that it won’t be hot. I love trains (not as sad as a train-spotter), so catching the Eurostar is a whole excitement in it self. 
Oh, I nearly forgot: Please do the latest poll in the sidebar.. I just wondered how many of my readers are into theme parks.
