As you can see in the photo, I gathered all things I collected which has memories for me and stuck it on the wall just above my desk.

Ever since being off college I have meant to done so many things but failed to do so so far. My motivation nose dived pretty much after the first week having such freedom from college. I haven’t been feeling that well either which haven’t helped matters at all. I been coughing for the past few months in fact. I want to get a gp appointment but its finding a time that suits one of parents to get me there.

I did try keeping in touch with my bestest best friend Sam over the break but I think the fact of the amount of texts I sent to him have sort out of put him off replying to me anymore which is kinda sad. I have however been invited to a LAN (network games) party from a friend I knew from school which is exciting but I don’t want commit to that if I find out to have something that I could pass on to others.

I need to stop splashing out all my money once I get it. This month I have ordered two tees from different American websites. One of them arrived today and I’m looking forward wearing it tomorrow. I don’t know that is sad. I love unwrapping packages though. And the smell of new clothing. They should bottle that smell up for me. :P

I’m so tempted painting my ceiling white. It been blue for years and I think it makes my small room feel even more smaller. I shouldn’t moan about the size of my room though. I have been offered the room which was my sisters but I personally like being in the room next to the bathroom even if I have to listen to some unpleasant sounds. lol

Chalk graffiti

I spotted that Woolworths has had some graffiti drawn on the side of the empty store. Rather random. I know from experience that chalk is hard to remove from walls. I wonder how long this will last on the wall and how long it will take for something else to take the space in the store. I expect that it will take forever with the current money climate..


Contact lenses and Bolt 3D

Shot of a signpost in Abingdon town centre.

The photo is one I took when I was doing angles and viewpoints as part of my photography lessons. I finally managed to email some of the photos I took to post here when I’m lacking a photo. You guys love my photos it seems.

After having to get other people to put them in for me, I finally managed to put contact lenses in myself. Not panicking is one skill you have to learn to do, just stay calm and allow enough time to fail afew times. The first one I managed to put in my left one had to be took out as I got it too mucky. The right one is always a struggle but I managed it for once. I’m alright about my contact lenses check up appointment now.

Today was good fun. I went to the bus stop waiting for ages for the 35a and it reminded me of how many hours I must of waited for this bus when I went to school. I was about to call my Dad for a lift into Didcot but as I was going down my contact list, the bus arrived. As I got into Didcot, I noticed how much more windy it was and had a look in Next hoping to see one of my sister mates working in there. It seemed not.

After feeling awkward coming out of Next, I went in the direction of the cinema but ended up looking around Broadstreet which is a street mainly fulled with charity shops and more importantly, has a Subway. I glaced at the prices to make sure I have enough money left to have lunch there.

I looked at the time and wondered if the cinema would be open yet but thought I give it another few moments. So I headed to WHSmiths hoping to get a drink. Well that was till I looked at the price which was something like £1.79. I thought to myself this place is going to be next Woolworths disaster if they don’t lower their prices. I ended up getting a drink at Wilkinsons that was a only 89 pence to get the same drink of Diet Coke.

Bolt the Dog (C) Disney animation

It was ten to midday and therefore I thought as Bolt 3D started at ten past that it might be open. I really should of looked at the opening time before walking into the door. That hurt badly and I felt like a idiot. I recovered the situation by looking at the opening times and sighing. What to do for ten minutes I pondered to myself and then thought when I went into Argos with Dan for some reason.

The memory was when I finished my mock GCSE exam and did it in a different room to most of the year that had Dan and MJ among others. I left my phone on their desk as for once handed it over like you meant to but I forgot to pick it up. So I dashed back to the school and then chased back to Dan as I wanted to say goodbye properly. He asked when my bus was and said I could help him look at pool table stuff in the Argos till it came. Anyway back to the post, it ended up that I spent ten minutes acting like I was looking for stuff in Argos as it was warm place to wait.

When Cineworld did open up, I was first in and got my ticket with some rather expensive popcorn. I was expecting some cardboard glasses for the 3D movie however I had some neat ones which look like the safety glasses they have at schools. I rather enjoyed Bolt 3D and the effects was okay. Amazing would be over doing things but I can understand why Disney want the rest of their animations to be in 3D. I say be at least three rows back from the screen to benefit the most.

When I got out, I headed straight to the bus stop to check how long it will take for the bus to arrive. I had enough time to buy a Sub and therefore ate one whilst waiting for the bus. The bus was late but I wasn’t complaining because I had times when it never arrived before. On the way back in bus I saw a nasty crash with a ambulance and police that was sad to see.

Overall I had good time today. I didn’t feel so bad about being alone after all and it felt good that I could feel my independence. I’m hoping to go to gym soon but it all depending if my mom can give me a lift. :|

Best of: Thank god its Friday!

I woke up atiny bit earlier that morning as we found that we didn’t allow enough time last morning to get up. However it took me to have a shower first again to encourage Adam and Sam to get up. Breakfast was more easy as I knew the ranks of it all now. I had orange juice plenty of times and I was drinking it just I after I poured it from the machine. The glasses was really small though. I had my useal of hot chocolate and bread rolls aswell.

I went around the park with slightly different people and started in the studio park for a change. I started on Aerosmith and went on it like five times after each other. Each time moving slightly more to the front of it. It much more better at the front of it. I worn my glasses this time as James told me that you could and was strange how you didn’t loose or break your glasses on it.

I was feeling really ill at lunchtime and just wanted a drink but Sam encouraged me to have a meal. At first he thought I didn’t have the money and offered to pay which I thought was nice of him. However I said I just didn’t feel good and paid for it myself.

I had my group photo shoot at 2pm and the group found me and Jessica. We ended up going on this ride where you drive a lawnmower car around a fixed track. I had a faster car than the car in front of me which was annoying as I wanted to go flat out.

At the end of the day I managed to lose both of the group and panicked catching the bus to the hotel. I met up with some people I knew there though. After doing this quiz and the photo shoots outside, we hanged about waiting for the bus. I was on the floor facing the other way and when I dashed for it, I managed to damage my neck and back. I didn’t feel the pain at the time.

At the station, it took ages for check in to open. I was the first person in to it though but ended up having to line my bag up and waiting for a sniffer dog to smell all the bags. This meant that everyone else in the trip went on and I was stuck there till the dog was happy.

The jounary back home is when I noticed I injuryed myself when I sat in my train seat. I couldn’t be as social as I wanted to be as I couldn’t move very much. I went to the cafe though as standing up felt better. I had the last chocolate brownie, a bottle of water and a hot choccie. I loved that brownie when I ate it.

The coach was waiting for us within the Eurostar station and jounary to the college was alright. My mom was already at the college when I got there and got home quickly thankfully.
