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!

I feel ill..

.. and its my enrolment on Wednesday. :[

Today post photo is from the bike ride I did a couple of days ago which was a failure. It was a failure as I was trying to cycle the whole way to the collage and I only went half way. It was also a failure as I nearly went into five cars (one of which was a cop car) and mu bum was numb by the end of the ride. I need a gel saddle..

I’m glad that I didn’t go out today as I planned as I would of probably been sick on some random child. (Not like I watch The Inbetweeners.) I woke up today and I just wanted to go back to sleep staying in bed. It been awhile since I ever felt like that. I think I got up at 8amish went downstairs to say ‘Hi’ and then went back to sleep to wake up at noon.

I feel complete since I got given my results. It felt so good knowing that I will never have to go near Didcot if I don’t want to and this feeling also meant the relationship which I had feels closed now. I’m so relieved about it all. I couldn’t stayed on at the sixth form even I had place there as I had such a urge to punch the headteacher.

Currently my legs feels like I want to stretch them constantly, my head feels like my heart is located in there with the beating I’m feeling, I want to eat the whole contents of a supermarket as I’m so hungry no matter what I eat. I hope to recover before I enroll at collage as I want that to be one of the happiest days I will remember. Mewh!

Yesterday I received my enrolment pack from my college and I was waiting for this packs for ages so I was glad when it arrived. This pack has all the useful information like when the drop in days are, shockingly when my enrolment date is, and other information such as the fees and start of term.

My £95 course fee is same for either media course so if I do well in the GCSEs I can do the BND and if I do okay, I can do the First Dip. I feel that I have made the right choice doing Media at the collage as I felt that my school has left me down in many areas, and going into the sixth form would be stupid. Also the sixith form doesn’t have their own Media suite and can’t offer what the collage does.

Wikipedia freaked me out though as it used to mention that there is more students then media jobs, this has now got removed as there wasn’t a cite to prove this was true. Even if this was true, you could still make money from media from making a website such as Weebls Stuff. They made flash videos that people found funny and it showcased their skills. This meant that companies contacted them to pay them to create stuff for them. A recent example of this is the Cadbury’s Creme Egg Twisted.

One of the things I found amusing in the many documents of the pack is the risk assessment bit. It warns you of the activities you could be doing and what the risk are. I do take it seriously and agree with it but you have to be stupid to do some of the things it mentions like using dangerous props or walking onto train tracks. It not just a list of what you can’t do but advises you how to do things safely like with fires, that you should be over 10 metres away and have permission from the fire brigade.

I chucked the bus information out of the booklet as I will be doing either a 3 mile walk or cycle to the collage. I wish that they included more information about them two things as it would of been helpful. I’m happy with the concept of not catching a bus again as I will be saving loads.

Once I have enrolled, I would need to agree that I won’t take part of any computer related activity that could disgrace the college or make the collage open to legal action. This means that I will never mention the name of the college on here and try not to talk about the collage as much as possible.

I can’t wait until college starts.. I’m all excited!

Stop the sirins

My eyes are currently twitching as I lay tried in my bed. Would you like to be woken up by random sounds? Well, as it’s November, my nearby neighbours has decided that buying fireworks is a good idea. It isn’t as my dog is having a manic fit of shaking, houling and barking, and also as my top bedroom small window doesn’t shut, it keeping me awake. To add to that, I’m near to the police sation, so I’m hear sirins every so often.. great!

I just finished watching Britz, which I thought was great though I felt the last part dragged on abit at towards the end. It changed my one sided view on the London bombings and makes understand their reason of doing it.

Recently I have decided that I give it a go to do the exam with everyone else instead of going to sixith form room. I hope it doesn’t muck up my results due to being in a different enviroment. I cannot back out of the idea at the moment as the paper work has been filled in though I can after the English ones are over.

Thinking about Monday, wasn’t that year photo really stupid. They took too long putting everyone in height order and once we was on the stage metal thing, they was taking too long moaning about uniforms. My leg was really acking by the end of it and the waiting trigged silly behaviour to mainly the chavs. I was quite glad when that was over.

I’m been getting strange looks these days.. Why can’t I skip around my neighbourhood? (I don’t.. I’d made that up.. oh wait there is a photo.. Hmm) No, the reason I been getting strange looks is because I got a different Prefect badge that I found on the internet. It seems to be foucs point when a chav is trying to shove their way into the block I’m in.

Afew people in my set is trying very hard to get Miss Broadhurst sacked. I hope she doesn’t though as she been a great teacher that have taught me since joining the school. I know that she is different than what she used to be, but so be it. The change is alright by me.

God.. acouple of days of not blogging and I produce a post this long. Yikes!
