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. :|

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.

Mad love for Pepsi Max

Pepsi createI converted into drinking Pepsi Max ever since I started college as I noticed it had QR codes on them. Ever since I noticed this fact I tried collecting each different bottle design as they had artwork from different artist. I failed really badly at this as the college only stocked two of the designs in their shop and venders. I much perfer the taste of Pepsi to anything Coke sells.

If only I was paid to create this post, I was only inspired to post about Pepsi as I got money from parentals to get a create of the stuff from the sad Woolworths closing down sale that is going on. Mad that I paid a whole £18 quid for 24 bottles but I am making a saving somehow as it normally a £1 a bottle in college.

How is it possible to use the wall as a handkerchief?

Polite message

Normal blogging will resume soonish, it just I am bogged down with lots of work I am supposed to be doing. On the way out of the loos just before I was going to English, I noticed this stupid sign. How can people blow their nose on the wall? Does he mean stop drying your hands on the wall? How silly..

One of the things that I wish I could of done is clipped the duck tape so that the length of the tape was even as every time I look at that photo I get bugged.

update: I haven’t been to this loo again since but most of the notices in the loos around the campus have been removed. I can understand why somebody could get annoyed by some of the unthoughtful students but using the word handkerchief is just going to mean that the sign is going to be ignored by most people.
