Since the last post I called up the phone insurance company which promptly sent out a brand new phone to me for the old one. I found this rather neat as the phone I had were a refurb meaning I didn’t have any of the wires or charger even. I had to send so many emails to get that charger.

Anyway. Lets talk about Friday. Well, I didn’t have a phone so therefore it ended up meaning that I didn’t have a alarm to wake me up resulting on me oversleeping and waking up 10 mins before the lesson.

Thankfully I kept hold of the postcard the media people gave me which had the tutor number and called her up. She told me that they were in a different room and when I reached the college, I stepped into that room but got a shock when I found it was grannies on computer. I tried explaining I got the wrong room and I was a student but they couldn’t work Word out. I quickly told them about it and dashed out wondering were the class was. I worked it out in the end and managed to caught up with the work.

In the afternoon, it was video production. Gah! I thought I would of loved this subject when I joined the course but the only thing I don’t mind about it is the editing which I still only know the basics of. In the subject, everybody group is making two adverts. Well the adverts I made suck. I mean, come on.. I’m mumbling in the adverts! Then to rub thing into the womb, Tiff and Key flipping join the group which I can’t argue about as Tiff is the girlfriend of the person I’m working with and they done crap all!

Towards the end of the day, they suggest leaving early and as we managed to get away with it last time. I just went along with it as I wasn’t really enjoying being there.

So yeah that was Friday.

Mmm. london

Today was different as I randomly decided on the weekend that London would be a good place to find a laptop bag. So this morning I set my search with my Dad.

Didcot carpark has upgraded their ticket machines and now you can use any debit/credit card that has chip and pin. I love new ticket machines as they look so shiny. The car park used to cost so much but now its a flat rate of 4 quid which isn’t bad for a day parking.

Once the delayed train took me from Didcot to London, we headed for Convent Gardens as I didn’t have a proper look at it the last time I went to London. On the underground, we didn’t go directly go there but went to a nearby underground station as my dad is silly. As soon as we got out, we looked for coffee as we needed a drink. It turned out to be a Starbuck we ended up going to.

I was annoyed as I didn’t ask for cream but yet they proceeded on adding cream on top of my drink. I love their simple mugs with the Starbucks logo and I was tempted to sneak a mug out but I was scared of getting caught.

We carried on the quest to head to Convents Gardens when we noticed a massive bag shop. I went in and my dad proceeded to buy a red bag I looked at even though I was thinking of looking else where before going back. I wish I looked closer at the bag at the time, as went i got back home I noticed that the zip jams at the top.

After that shop we managed to arrive find the place. However, Convent Gardens wasn’t as exciting as I thought it would be because it is filled with cafes and girlie shops. And I still couldn’t find that shop which sells the Mountain Drew that I live for. One coffee shop was handing out samples so I drank some free fruit tea. It was sweet so I didnt mind it but Im not into tea that much.

After we finished looking at Convent Garden, we popped over to see something court road that is the underground station nearby. We mainly went there to see how overpriced the computers are and I loaded this blog in as many shops as I could. I find it amazing that they decide to hook the Internet to the laptops. One of the places had this television rotating around and I thought that it was pointless. How could you watch it without getting dizzy?

After going there, we didn’t have much else to do. We wondered around London and went to places such as Chinatown (where I got this funky free Chinese newspaper)

Due to the high running costs of running a self hosted blog and the lack of benefits from it, I have been forced to move to Wordpress.com till future notice. I’m current having problems moving the domain to Wordpress nameservers but I’m on with their support. Now I moved on Wordpress servers, it means that some of my posts may featured on the Wordpress dashboard which is good I suppose.

I had a smooth long day at college and it started at 9ish and finished at 4ish without many breaks. I don’t like long breaks though as they can’t get boring even if you are hanging with some people that love chatting. I love chatting but I have to be careful not to talk too much as I seem to talk shit and look like a total twat. I don’t want to look like a twat nor I don’t like dog poop.

I been introduced to the world of Wimamp and I love it. I didn’t download and use it for  awhile as the last time I used it, I thought it was a pile of rubbish that nobody knows what to do with. Thankfully AOL has done their unknown magic to the software to be quite good.

Ryan randomly handed me some money that he apparently owned me however I can’t remember ever lending money to him. I won’t refuse people giving me money though unless they are mentally ill which I don’t think Ryan is, and I spent this quid on a McFlurry. It was cold and nice.

Results day is looming

It has just shot into my head that it is only five days until I have to drive (well let my parents drive) into Didcot for the last time to pick up my GCSEs results and either have tears of happiness or great disappointment. I already know that I have 2 D’s which are for English and Core Science but I may get some C’s as I resat English, know I done well with Tech and was predicted a C for Additional Science.

I’m not that bothered by the results as I know I can go to collage either way with the two D’s I already recivied. It just means that it will take one more year if I don’t get three C’s which one has to be in English, and it would be nice to just do two years.

I sort of getting over Laura going up to Stoke as I have been used to before. It just I’ve never been so brain dead bored before. I really must get a of this house as much is humanly possible. Maybe I get into swimming again or walk the dog daily as which she should be having anyway.

I don’t know.. One thing I do know though is that the 3rd of Spetember is the most appealing and nerves jiggering day ever. My first day of collage I think.
