Radio Ga Ga

Tomorrow morning (if the snow or the ice haven’t closed the college), I have to do my radio show in my group which will be graded by the tutor. I am the producer of the show  which basically means that I am the leader and also that I do the mixing desk. I wish I didn’t say we go first as I haven’t had a chance to play with the suite due to the college being closed the whole week. When I wake up I need to get some songs and print things out but I’m too knackered at the moment to do that.

On Saturday I went to the gym and for the first time did my routine without a person assistant which felt good. However I forgot to do the stretches after the warm up which was silly of me. The water that they sell there really annoys me as the label keeps coming off and the plastic is thin. I will have to remember to bring my own for Monday.For some reason I get a rush from the gym and feel alive. its really strange.. I felt warm for most of the rest of the day as well.

Today I went to see ‘He’s Just Not that into You’ and I’ll give it four stars. I thought it was funny, had a good soundtrack and you felt cheerful and smiley at the end of it. I loved their version of ‘Somewhere only we know’ by Keane as they remixed it to work with the scene. I liked how you thought you could guess the storyline but the result was a tad different to what you taught was going to happen. I suck at reviewing movies but that my badly written view.

Talking about Keane, my family is going to see them at The O2 this Friday. I’m a tad worried on if the weather will muck things up and if my sister be able to get down from the North. I emailed their customer support to see what happens if you can’t attend due to extreme conditions however they didn’t want to comment in time for this post. I don’t think I should of mentioned my blog when I contacted them.

It ended up snowing..

My road today..

I finished my last post saying that I hope it wouldn’t snow or if it did that it wouldn’t close the college. Well guess what happened when I woke up late this morning? I looked at my phone for the time and panicked rushing outta bed and putting my college clothes on. I then peered outside the window to get blinded by the white stuff, plenty of the blinking white stuff. My parents confirmed that college wasn’t happening and I felt disappointed.

I went to look at Facebook quickly to see what people was up to with the snow and all. Turns out that they were planning to go to the Abby and make snowmans. I was debating joining them but when I stepped outside to take photos for this blog and twitter I thought otherwise. It was really cold and judging how pale they were in the photos, they felt it. They had a wonderful picture of the market square though with snow and it looked quite odd. It was neat how the council gritted the paths though and it turned out to made good sections for different people creations.

Like most of the week though, I was hanging around the house being bored. I was tempted to tidy it but I lacked the effort or the drive to do so. I had a lovely hot bath though and while the bath was running I repaired this sliding fabric door with matching white duck tape. You could call the repair I did was rather dodgy, neat is most certainly not a word to describe job I did.

Anyway, I really do not want it to snow tomorrow. Well I do as I don’t like Friday mornings but I hoping reverse thingy wotsit will work on the weather system like it did on the last post. :P

Lazy and gentle

140120091101I’m just about to go to bed but I felt like I should keep my blog updated. It made Blogs of the Day last month (34 I think) and I didn’t notice. :P The photo is something I made a couple of weeks ago when  I passed the old flower shop and thought what I could do in Photoshop.

Yesterday I went to the chiropractor which made my back and neck click back into place after I strained it on some of the rides in Disneyland Paris. It still not quite as the same as before I went to Disney but I suppose it will take a acouple of days to settle down. Atleast the pin and needles has stopped now which make me think I had a trapped nerve.

I didn’t really do much over the day or yesterday as I took yesterday off and today is my day off. I suppose I cleared my room up yesterday and today I just moped around the house. One thing I noticed today is that if i straighten my back and neck like I supposed to, the mirrors are not at the correct height. I could step backwards but I don’t have enough room to do that. Its annoying me now since I noticed it.

I really do hope that there isn’t any snow tomorrow or if there is, that it won’t mess college up for me. I need to go in dammit. If I find that it is closed I will shall be gutted and will be sad all over tomorrow. I got photography tomorrow which is exciting stuff. I need to read the booklet over breakfast as I meant to read all of it by now. I haven’t even filled my name in.

Taxi slide

I couldn’t manage walking to college today so I booked a taxi a night before as I haven’t yet seen a back expert to click everything back into place yet. Thats tomorrow afternoon thats happening. Anyway back to the taxi journey. The taxi arrived on the dot but I didn’t realized the difficulties it had getting outside the house. The snow on the road made it a car ice rink. When it got to the main roads it could go back to normal speeds. It wasn’t that expensive though.. Six quid. :)

Snow covers roadLike you might of heard in the news or seen yourself, it snowed well today in the south east England. Its rare to see any snow where I live in Abingdon, so having the amount we got today was impressive. When I arrived it wasn’t soon till Dan and James wanted a snowball fight with me, and I tried to join in but dodging the balls was painful.

Radio was fun as I done most of the work already. I need to go to the station over the week though to get used to their mixers and get the timing of the show on spot. I only have one run to do the radio show with Micheal and S and as the producer I really don’t want to muck things up. Looking forward to doing it though as it shall be fun. Me and Micheal played around the interview as we was bored and produced a remix of it. It is rather strange:

English went well for achange. It was basically wrapping up the poem lessons so you could do a lovely essay on it. I had to complete a big A3 sheet which was fun. I say that with sarcasm. But it did really fly though the whole hour and a half I had in there.

I spent most of the breaks inside as I didn’t want anymore snow ball fights nor did I want to get cold. I really enjoyed today though and finished early at 4pm.
