Ever 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in town with them which some of was outside Nationwide as one of them is a smoker that needed a tenner but her card was out of date and they didn’t send her a new card for some random reason.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..
Today I was taking photos around Abingdon and it started off meeting in the college. Now I woke up and I was cutting it abit for getting college on time. My mom offered to give me a lift. no I said, it would be busy I said. Why did it have to be completely empty. Bloody sod law. I was worn out before we were even started, cause I had to run most of the way there.
When I got in the room, I got handed back this working in a team booklet which I did at the start of college. Why am I the only one to remember we did this? Anyway, I didn’t need to fill anything in as I bothered to fill it all in the first place and pass the thing.
Sue (our tutor) asked for some people to pick the cameras up from Richard so I joined Sam and Ryan as I was bored stiff. I got told that the cameras have some expressive new rechargeable batteries and to murder anyone who tries to chuck them away.
Once we reached the town centre and paired up in groups.. Time to shoot! Even though I had my own camera, the group told me I could use the college one as nobody else in the group wanted to use it. I didn’t really stick with my group. People were saying that ‘Eddie you’re not in your group’ taking things way too seriously. Along I stuck near with other college people, there not really a problem is there? I can’t be arsed to talk about the rest of the college trip out but it was a nice change to the normal Thursday.
I moaned to my Mom that my hair needed a haircut and she managed to blag a slot at the hairdressers. I am a happy bunny now as I have my spikey hair look again. I think I will bother more to spike it up than I did before at college.
This week has flew past. I should say that it been the quickest week yet but that would be incorrect and it would make people cry like babies. I don’t want to flood England with tears somehow..
The highlight of the week has been the photography as it involved playing in the dark room with the groovy red light. The dark room is massive and isn’t a poky small room like my grotty old school one was like. The tutor clams that their dark room is the biggest one for a college in the south. Size does matter it would seem. I might scan in some of my masterpieces I have made.
I have gotten in the flow of college now and is more relaxed about the whole thing. It is nice that there is some faces from my old school but not too many. I don’t feel so home sick if you know what I mean if I have few faces from the past. Yeah, the college couldn’t afford the whole body and only brought their faces.. Oh well.
David is a greatest person ever. For people who don’t know who David is, he is somebody who was in my form group at school and now is in Didcot Sixth Form. He invited me to Ultimate Events but now he have sent me the yearbook I forgot to pick up. They have some great photos of me in there however I laugh at a typo in the book. They mistaken a photo of a group of people I was with that it was in France however it was in Convent Gardens.
Wait I got it wrong. NAGs are the great people ever with the greatest radio show that your ears will thank you for. I listened to their unofficial show and named a dog, to find that it was good enough to win a whole month worth of flapjacks. Don’t have a frown on your face that you didn’t win, and that you are lacking a box of flapjacks. You can win some every Tuesday when you listen to their show, its true!
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. 
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!
