Loose Women

London EyeYesterday I had a fantastic and gob smacking awesome time with my media group in London. It took along time to get to South Bank, London from Oxford though. On the coach journey in the way in, James pissed off a white van man by taking a photo of him without turning the flash off, but as the traffic hardly moves fast in London.. He got out and started banging the coach window. It felt like something out of The Inbetweeners. I found it funny for some reason.

Once we arrived to the South Bank, we had a hour to spare which mainly was spent taking photos and drinking soft drinks at the bar. It was the first place I found which serves eggy bread. I was so tempted to order it but I didn’t have anytime to spare. I love to have a life style that involved going out to these places regularly.

When we arrived at the studios, there was guys with headphones with a mic. I had laugh with them when a posh sliver car nearly ran me over. Once we checked in, it was a case on waiting outside in a line right against the studio building. After half an hour outside, we got in. I didn’t think that we would walk though different sets but we did where one of them had the car from ‘Back from the Future’.

GaffitiBehind the Loose Women set had loads of duck tape to repair it as got wore out after the much usage it gets. I didn’t know how much lights that are involved for shows. It makes the set looks really different without the lights on. It was really good show and I really enjoyed doing the clapping etc. During one of the breaks when they do Q&As, somebody wanted to steal a mug. So when the show finished, a runner quickly carried the mugs away in a basket. BTW, they don’t drink tea or coffee, they drink bottle water.

The rest of the day was good aswell. Walked right next to the London Eye to get a McDonalds. The express line was really fast aswell. I was surprised how far down you have to walk to get to the toilets though. The rest of the day was mainly buying fast food. lol

Anyway, I need to do gym.

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..

‘Boo.. That’s not The Who!’

Today I didn’t have to go to college but was forced to meet up at Oxford to go to the cinema. Before leaving the house, I decided that having breakfast would be a bad idea as I was unwell last night resulting in being sick.

To get there I managed to get a lift with my Mum. She thought she would try to avoid the traffic by going a different route but it didn’t really do much difference as we clashed with the school run. However, I was one of the first people to arrive at the meeting point. It was raining lightly which was a pain but it didn’t stop me not diving for cover. I am manly dammit! The market was there and it was selling some real crap that you normally see in charity shops. Also there was these random dull coloured stones on sale which was pointless.

Once every media student from each of the college campuses arrived (some I never saw before in my life but they wasn’t that social to us), we walked to the cinema to the displeasure to some vechiles on the road which had to wait for a whole crowd to cross the road because we could. Go us! It wasn’t a complicated walk as it was a straight line but some of the paths was narrow which sucks when you are in a massive crowd.

There wasn’t any waiting outside when we arrived at the Phoenix cinema and went straight to the seating as the college rented it out. We was there to see a movie called ‘The Wackeness’ that had lots of scenes of drug use, boobies and bare bums. Mmm, It was alright I suppose but it could of moved faster in parts as it felt really long. I felt like I entered the place as a 16 year old and left as a 50. It didn’t help that I had a piece of paper stuffed in my back pocket that I forgotten about that made sitting on uncomfortable and that the room was stuffy.

I left with the shock of sun light, walking back to the city centre with some people I met and some mates managing to go a different route to the main group of students. We laughed at the market again when we saw this cowboy jacket and some lame dresses. I stared at some movie posters but it ended up with me leaving them to it as I got fed up with their slow speed.

I decided to skip lunch in Oxford but should of brought a drink when I dashed to the bus stop. I couldn’t make my mind up with what bus I should catched. I know which two I wanted but it ended up with me going on the slow one as the express bus wouldn’t take my tenner as she already gave change for a tenner. Dam her.

I got in Abingdon for late lunch at Dominos which I ate on the jounary walk home. I had great pleasure eating the pizza whilst walking and staring at the traffic. I’m multi talented.. what can I say? I couldn’t eat my dinner which consisted of fish and chips as I was feeling sick again. I’m hungry now though so I think its a case of microwaving it. How yummy is that.. Not! :[

I have tomorrow off but it will be a case of slumping around the house feeling unwell yet again feeling starving as I don’t feel like eating as I hate being sick. I need to eat something though as I’m slim currently.

Corr.. I don’t like being in 27c weather

I’m a really great day today. Its still Spring but you wouldnt be blamed for thinking that its midway though summer as it reached 27 degrees today. I’m not one enjoy hot weather as my fair skin burns quite easily, so I’m forced to apply sun cream quite often. When I got out of the huts from my last lesson of the day, I was blinded by the amount of light.

My wallet is going to upset with me. I’ve been draining the amount of money I have by going to places like theme parks which seem like monthly. I think that I fund the munchbox at my school as I buy something from it daily. I was upset that they have given up with the microwave garlic bread idea as I really liked them. :|

I had a mega happiness boost from going to Ultimate Events over the weekend, which I will blog about once I can be brothered. I didn’t get to go on many rides though due to the mad road traffic and busyness of the park. I really enjoyed myself though talking to people and dancing madly in the concert. This will embarrass me if they ever show the shots of me on God Tv. I never watched God tv.

I just noticed that its midnight. Must go to sleep.. Sleeping (well more like lying at..) at David house has really messed with my body clock. I’m sure it will sort itself out soon enough!
