Various uni prospectus from Derby Uni.. contains Stoke-on-trent lolly!

Its my second day in Derby and I have to say that things have been rather random. Yesterday I travelled up in the afternoon in my sister car and she packed her car full with different items for the house that she moving into with her partner. I was crammed in myself but the journey wasn’t that bad even though I had a hamster in a cadge on my lappy.

I went to sleep on this camp bed that already has some lovely holes in it. I woke up at 4am because my weight has just tore the whole thing apart. I was so glad they were planning to get rid of it anyway because I have had rendered it useless now. It’s a shame cause it was better than directly sleeping on the floor.

Anyway, moving on to today. I’d got up at 8am to have a refreshing shower and cornflakes whilst seeing disasters that the emergency services have to deal with on telly. Not exactly something I wanted to watch really but the cable video-on-demand didn’t work at the time.

At lunchtime, I decided to help out by mowing the lawn. I stupidly thought that such a task would be simple to archive and that I would be munching on another snack within moments. I was so wrong by thinking this. I had to put this pesky mower together and then I found that every five seconds I had to clear the base of it or it wouldn’t function. Ah well.. least it did the job.

Much later on in the afternoon at around 3pm, I arrived in Stoke where I unplanned went out with some people I knew from the place to the park as they were looking after the neighbour kids for some reason. I discovered that I would fail so badly if I ever wanted children.

I went to the house earlier than the people at the park and went out with my sister in the car. When we returned, we discovered the locked them out. During the time they were waiting, they deweeded the front garden which I was amazed by as the two years I visited the place, not once they took much care for it.
So we went out to the garden centre, for them to spend around fifty quid on plants. Not like you can get much for that price these days.

So that was my rather random day. Sorry if I rambled too much. :/

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..

When I go up to Stoke-on-trent I always feel refreshed and clean. I think it because I go to a place where I don’t care what people judgements of me are or that I meet people I don’t meet often slash never again. But also when I go up there, I have more thinking space. I sometimes don’t have anyone to chat to, so I have a brainstorm to myself.

As part of one of the many hard thinking sessions I had whilst up in Stoke, I realise that there some things that I used to do no longer fit in with my new lifestyle I now seem to be changing to. My college grades are doing alright but I’m not putting as much effort as I could be putting into it. I realised now that the effort I’m putting in to writing blog posts could be better used with writing essays and the such.

The other thing which I thought about which scared me is that the information I’m handing out on this blog isn’t safe and also means that random people I don’t want anything to be involved with is reading about my life. That isn’t good.

Yet another point is that my mates read this blog which isn’t bad but it has gotten to the point that I can’t mention things as part of a conversation as they already read it on line. I don’t feel secure that people read my life as a book anymore and I want to close that open door.

I don’t know what this means for this blog then. I suppose what this means is that it won’t get regularly updated as it once did. This could also mean that the content may change to something different. I just think that when it gotten to the point where you are upset when you viewership for the day has dropped by one that it isn’t no longer a healthy activity to do.

This blog isn’t all negative though. I changed as a person reflecting on the past and being able to see what I did wrong. It improved my writing skills which has helped with college. If the 2006 posts wasn’t deleted, you would see a very noticeable difference. It has also meant that i was able to tell people things I would of never had the guts to say in real life.

This isn’t the end of the blog. It just the end of what the current content is. I haven’t got the time or effort to be active blogger or webmaster anymore. It doesn’t appeal to me now. I loved blogging and to a point i still do but I don’t love what the current effects of the blog is.

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..
