I’m fed up with nearly everything college at the moment. The stress, lack of time with assignments, and the lack of help the tutors provide. I kept on hinting to my tutor that I was struggling with a assignment that she set and just said some nonsense to get rid of me.

Then a couple of days later I receive this email on how not many people done the assignment and how we are letting ourselves down. Well lets stop there for one moment.. If nearly nobody in the group have done it then maybe just possibly we are struggling and need a prep to encourage us to do it. A email that gives a impression that you are a bad person cause even though you spent all the free time you got and stressed to extremes but you didn’t manage to hand it in time. Well sorry.

Also another thing that pissed me off about my tutor is that after my mom managed to injure herself again, my mom contacted the Media department to inform them about it and one of the thing they done is contacted my tutor. My tutor hasn’t contacted me in college or called to check up on me.

I’m super upset about it all. There is too many up and downs going on for me at the moment and I’m never too sure how a day at college will end for me.

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. :|

Surprise trip meeting and final project planning

I had such a day today, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t that great either. I had Radio as useal which hurts my brain as it was paperwork such as a Radio Clock. Drawing one manually takes Maths skills that I haven’t got so thankfully Shopie did that and though it looked dodgy still, its better than anything I could do. It be fine once I done a computer version..

After that I had my Morning break filled with a last moment Disneyland Paris meeting that mainly was about not to act like a fool and suppiled me with a checklist. I got told who I am sharing the room with and I am happy that they won’t act stupid. I have to bring my passport (so they have a photocopy incase I loose it) with the signed letter in tomorrow. I was annoyed afterwards though as some people I wanted to hang with went back to their ICT course by then.

After that rather short break I had English which was okay as the learner teacher was on today which meant it had a alright peace and wasn’t too dull. Also I got out early which meant that when I went to the cafe I caught my tutor getting pissed off with acouple of people in my group cause they didn’t go to their Maths lesson.

Next up, Research. What is this lesson, I thought to myself as this was a new thing on my timetable and first Monday of the term. It turned out to be time that I start the paperwork for my final media project for this course. I wish they would of given some warning so I could of got my head in gear beforehand.Mewh!

Fed up of emailing Support

Woolworths truely shutI do apologise for the lack of updates on this blog but all the effort outta college at the moment is spent on emailing Dell about my laptop battery being dead. I managed to kill it by leaving my laptop on standby over the holiday break and it drained the battery completely. Somehow because of that doesn’t retrain charge any more. Luckily its under warranty as I got it last November but Dell isn’t that keen on sorting the problem out. I need to call them up really but I have to fit it in somehow.

Meanwhile when I was walking though town the day aftter Woolworths closed in my town, I peeked though the window to see the staff was clearing all the shelfs and signs away. I took acouple of photographs but I felt bad as their all lost a job so didn’t hang about too long. I’m unsure if anything will be moving in to there too soon though as the town is rather dead anyhow in terms of shops.
