Since the last post I called up the phone insurance company which promptly sent out a brand new phone to me for the old one. I found this rather neat as the phone I had were a refurb meaning I didn’t have any of the wires or charger even. I had to send so many emails to get that charger.

Anyway. Lets talk about Friday. Well, I didn’t have a phone so therefore it ended up meaning that I didn’t have a alarm to wake me up resulting on me oversleeping and waking up 10 mins before the lesson.

Thankfully I kept hold of the postcard the media people gave me which had the tutor number and called her up. She told me that they were in a different room and when I reached the college, I stepped into that room but got a shock when I found it was grannies on computer. I tried explaining I got the wrong room and I was a student but they couldn’t work Word out. I quickly told them about it and dashed out wondering were the class was. I worked it out in the end and managed to caught up with the work.

In the afternoon, it was video production. Gah! I thought I would of loved this subject when I joined the course but the only thing I don’t mind about it is the editing which I still only know the basics of. In the subject, everybody group is making two adverts. Well the adverts I made suck. I mean, come on.. I’m mumbling in the adverts! Then to rub thing into the womb, Tiff and Key flipping join the group which I can’t argue about as Tiff is the girlfriend of the person I’m working with and they done crap all!

Towards the end of the day, they suggest leaving early and as we managed to get away with it last time. I just went along with it as I wasn’t really enjoying being there.

So yeah that was Friday.

Not receiving the love tonight

Took near the Abby

I don’t like valentines mainly for two reasons. One reason is that I am single and its always been that way for me though I suppose I’m in the early stages with the whole relationships thing. It rubs in your face that you won’t be kissing anybody tonight. The second I just think it a fake day made up as a excuse to go out and I don’t see why you need one. You can have a romantic time at any time of the year and I don’t see why you should be forced into it by the shops on a certain day. But I suppose I’m not that positive because I don’t have a reason myself to be about it.

I went to see Keane last night at The O2 which is in London for the international readers out there. They were fantastic and I had a really enjoyable night out with my family all together for a change. We was intending on getting there by train however we wasn’t sure when the last train was, so we took the Oxford Expresss which a coach that took us to Victoria station. From there we caught various Tube trains to get arrive there. The rest of time there we be posted in a separate post sometime later on when i’m more awake.

This week I will be over at Stoke-on-Trent from tomorrow evening which will be a mini holiday for me. I will be on the student radio, eating out, and doing all kinds of exciting stuff whilst I’m up there. I am taking my laptop with me however the wifi in the house I’m staying at is quite dodgy.

Anyway I need to get my sleep as tomorrow a long long day. :P

Today was different as I randomly decided on the weekend that London would be a good place to find a laptop bag. So this morning I set my search with my Dad.

Didcot carpark has upgraded their ticket machines and now you can use any debit/credit card that has chip and pin. I love new ticket machines as they look so shiny. The car park used to cost so much but now its a flat rate of 4 quid which isn’t bad for a day parking.

Once the delayed train took me from Didcot to London, we headed for Convent Gardens as I didn’t have a proper look at it the last time I went to London. On the underground, we didn’t go directly go there but went to a nearby underground station as my dad is silly. As soon as we got out, we looked for coffee as we needed a drink. It turned out to be a Starbuck we ended up going to.

I was annoyed as I didn’t ask for cream but yet they proceeded on adding cream on top of my drink. I love their simple mugs with the Starbucks logo and I was tempted to sneak a mug out but I was scared of getting caught.

We carried on the quest to head to Convents Gardens when we noticed a massive bag shop. I went in and my dad proceeded to buy a red bag I looked at even though I was thinking of looking else where before going back. I wish I looked closer at the bag at the time, as went i got back home I noticed that the zip jams at the top.

After that shop we managed to arrive find the place. However, Convent Gardens wasn’t as exciting as I thought it would be because it is filled with cafes and girlie shops. And I still couldn’t find that shop which sells the Mountain Drew that I live for. One coffee shop was handing out samples so I drank some free fruit tea. It was sweet so I didnt mind it but Im not into tea that much.

After we finished looking at Convent Garden, we popped over to see something court road that is the underground station nearby. We mainly went there to see how overpriced the computers are and I loaded this blog in as many shops as I could. I find it amazing that they decide to hook the Internet to the laptops. One of the places had this television rotating around and I thought that it was pointless. How could you watch it without getting dizzy?

After going there, we didn’t have much else to do. We wondered around London and went to places such as Chinatown (where I got this funky free Chinese newspaper)
