Don’t look back

My HatEver since I handed in my college application form in, I been unsure if I am going the right way by choosing media. Don’t get me wrong I love doing media however I see ICT I think to myself ‘well I also like that’. Well I suppose if the media doesn’t turn out how I want it to, I can always do a ICT course at a later point in life.

On Thursday it was fun as the tech received the brand new batch of cameras and therefore for some reason we decided dressing up and taking photos of each other. Yeah, it was rather random but I really enjoyed all the posing and flashing going on for some reason. When I got back home (as its a half day), I chatted to Dan which was slow as its always is when I chat to him on messenger. I say something and it takes him a age to respond. Later on in the evening I chatted to Louis which is another mate when I was at school. He sent me this flag that he says he made in Photoshop but had the looks of being drawn in Paint bless him.

On Friday, I felt really tried as I was awake too long before going to sleep meaning I couldn’t sleep until early morning. I knew I should of checked the timetable to check what time the day started at college as a lesson was cancelled but I just remembered 10:30 from a conversation from last night so I went for that. I was delayed getting there ‘early’ due to frigging black ice slowing me down then when I finally got there people just laughed at me which was nice. It turned out the lesson started at 10am. Great. What made that lesson even more great was that the teacher wouldn’t sign me off meaning that I have to come in in my free time to do work I have completed. Logical I know..

The day did get better though as the double video production went smoothly mainly as its paperwork that nearly been completed anyway. I somehow came out at the same timing as Dan and some people know from knowing Dan. I like how people I already know from Didcot change their walking speed to match everybody else, it something that annoyed me from people I only know that from college as they seem to be like ‘Nope, I’m not speeding up.. tractor speed is fine for me’.

It turned out that I ended up hanging in town with them which some of was outside Nationwide as one of them is a smoker that needed a tenner but her card was out of date and they didn’t send her a new card for some random reason. Anyway it was good as I catched up with Dan chatting about all kinds of stuff,

I had chips in a cone the decided on walking back home and meanwhile of doing this I saw my mom in the traffic and dashed in to her car which was going back into town as she heard about the Woolworth sale. It wasn’t that worth it! You get what I did..

Graffiti bridge about to go go

I just read about what known locally as Graffiti bridge in Didcot about to be cleaned away. Its sad as I have many memory’s that I match with the Graffiti I saw in that bridge. I can understand the reason on why they are doing this as it does encourage Graffiti around the Ladygrove area but I rather like some of the characters drawn by some people.

Today went alright but it did have some downfalls. The laptop that I recently got given by the college looks like it has a wide-screen and it is generally a bulky heavy thing to lung about. I am about to order a new bag that will suits my needs better. The other downfall is not knowing when to shut my month and when to talk. I’m cringing at some of the nonsense I said today and the amount of moaning I did. It was really childish of me and it something I will need to adjust over time.

I was nearly late today as I didn’t realized that a more heavy bag will slow you down. I should of set off abit more earlier than I did but hay ho. I wasn’t late though. I hope I have met the standards and won’t have a warning letter. I gone in on time and sometimes early, I haven’t chatting too much in the lessons, and I haven’t been nasty as normal. So unless I am missing something that is strange, I think i have met their high standards.

I just went out to a pub as it was my mom’s birthday today. I feel guilty that I haven’t really made her day that special today however I might think something I should do with her on the weekend that she like doing like painting a plate or something like that.

College boy

Its my second day of being at college and its the best decision I made so far. It is different type of learning than it was at school which I really love. I’m not overloaded with all kinds of different subjects and I can just focus on three main things: Media, English and Photography. The college grounds is a nice size and it was easy to get used to the layout of the place. They have decided to paint every wall in the college and spent lots of money for all these buckets of paint.

It was really strange with groups on the first day but its getting better already. I disliking the breaks at the moment as I’m stoned bored. I really need to find some good mates I can have a laugh with as the current people I hang with just act like nobs. Hhmm

Today wasn’t good as the group I was with didn’t work well with this chav who wanted to be director but didn’t really direct or manage the group really well. He needed to tell what people was meant to do and planned as a group before we started filming. I would of done a much better job at it! And to top it off, it was outside filming with heavy rain so my afternoon dentist appointment looked really glorious to me.

There is a lot of sexy people at college which is good eye candy for me. :P It been like the first time I been properly attracted to girls. I had to control myself not to drool over them. I just wanted to cuddle everyone in reaching distance. Well within certain conditions that they wasn’t old.

I’m one of the eight from my college to first get the NUS extra card as I was a early ordering the card and ordered the 2007 one by mistake, however NUS noticed though and corrected it for me. NUS has aload of website bugs to smooth out before uni students get their hands on the website.

I will be taking more photos within the few weeks. I got tomorrow off so I’m going into Oxford. Haha!

I don’t give a dam..

Banbury StationThe picture is a view out of the windows at the grotty Banbury station as I recently went there to wave goodbye to my sister as she returns to Stoke. I was having a laugh with my Mum on the way out of the station about this advert saying I won’t pay the fare as the fine is £20 (much cheaper than the fare to Stoke) when a member of staff at the station overheard and took it too seriously. I never walked that fast to get out of a station before…

My ICT teacher has really pissed me off as I was wanting to know what I needed to do to finish my folder off weeks before school finished and I even asked him for a check list but he couldn’t be bothered to find out for me. So that have meant that I had to go into school on a day couple of weeks ago which was a day without exams. You would think that would be the last of this nightmare. Well I was wrong thinking that it was all done, when I had a call from him yesterday saying that I haven’t done the Record of Evidence. I couldn’t give a dam really as it only him with a problem if ASDAN looks at my folder and sees that I don’t have it. It only that he wants me to cover up the fact that nearly all everybody haven’t done the blinking coursework and wants to hide this fact by showing them selected folders of the few which have. I don’t give a hoot about anything ASDAN related as my collage doesn’t take it. I be more bothered if this was GCSE ICT which I wanted to do in the first place…

My bedroom feels much more higher up from the ground every day as I can’t be arsed to tidy it. It’s dangerous as I nearly fell over getting out of the bedroom today meaning that I will probably tidy that up tomorrow. I nearly chucked up yesterday as I was cleaning my kitchen up when I found a seal food tub. I couldn’t work out what was inside it, so I badly decided to open the thing up when suddenly this green mist of dust came flying out and where I discovered this really gone off piece of bread in the middle of the tub. It was really rank! On the subject of tidying, I really hate it how my parents just dump all the tidying and washing on me.. I wish that other people in the house would help me.
I’m excited that I’m planning to do some video blogging soon. The main problem is that I want to have a room that I won’t be embarrassed to show everybody on places like YouTube so I will either have to shove lots of posters on my wall or something as I’m half way of repainting the bit under my window ledge but I never got to finish doing it.
