I have travelled up and been in Stoke since Sunday as its half term. Yay!

I supposed to be doing some college work whilst I’m up here but I keep getting distracted by fun things that I can do more easily up here like go shopping or badly doing radio shows. I will live to regret it though when i comes Saturday when I be panicking and rushing work.

The internet in this house is dodgy to say the least, well the wifi is. I went into the control panel but the crappy BT Home Hub is way too simple even in the Advance so I couldn’t do what I wanted to do. Oh well.

I’m writing this blog post on a Mac which is a first. I never been on a modern mac till now and its strange whilst exciting. I’m slowly figuring things out on it and I can see why people are Mac fan boys now. The word press control panel mixes well with the whole Mac look..

I tried to go swimming today however the both times I tired (first alone and second with housemates), they weren’t open. This council sucks at somethings, I slowly love Vale when I’m over here.

I did another gym induction over here so when I visit Stoke I can do gym. Its a good logistic isn’t it. I joined the Keele gym and I’m not use to space as the Abingdon gym uses the most out of the small space it has. This Keele gym also have more modern models of the the equipment. Only fault I have with it is that they lost my form this morning however they let me go in and they found it by the end of the session. Its all good.

Anyway I better get off this Mac before I get addicted to it. I just want to stroke it and admire it. :P

Took near the Abby

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

The woes of IT Helpdesk

When I started college months ago at September, they decided to supply me with a laptop. Even though I was unhappy about the weight and size of this laptop that looked brand new, I deicded to be grateful and not hand it in straight away. They told me when I picked it up that it should be taken back every three months and I signed a form every though I wasn’t allowed to look at it as my tutor was in a rush to have lunch.

It turns out that I wasn’t supposed to use the wifi and that they decided to disable it by uninstalling the driver when they logged in as admin. I think that this is ridiculous that I am not able to do research at home anymore on it and it renders the laptop completly pointless for doing coursework. I can’t be bothered to lug that frigging thing in anymore if its only pupose is doing word processing.

Another thing that annoyed me today is that the girls is my group that act like they are twins said that they wanted to find me a girlfriend but I would need a makeover and to act like somebody I am not. I don’t know if they implying that I am ugly or if they were just joking but I was abit offended. I think I rather not have a makeover thank you very much..

I can’t hold chopsticks

I’m currently watching the X factor and with the housemates sitting on the floor to eat Thai. Well I am not eating Thai because I don’t want to look like a fool if I don’t like it and I can’t hold chopsticks. I hardly can hold a pen so being told its like holding two pens is alittle bit silly. They decided that they doing a Come Dine With Me style thing and they recording the cooking so they can cut it all together. I want to eat some fish fingers and chips but I feel I look a tad out of place and I feel embarrassed by my food diet. I am sooo going to eat loads of stuff I never tried before this week.

I feel my single relationship status when I see other people cuddling and being romantic in general. I miss I am so glad that I haven’t added many people from my college as some of them would be surpized with some of the stuff on it. I been thinking how odd and sometimes painful it is still meeting up and being friends that you no longer hooked up with and seeing them snog and hug someone else. Dan that is, I so wish I blogged more about him.

I haven’t seen Megan in ages and she only lives behide the house of mine. That another person I went out with however with her I think I made her have a great hate for me. I don’t know why, maybe cause I didn’t feel much love for her. I never kissed with her. I did offer to go out again with her and she was like, fuck off.

Anyways, my fingers are hurting already as I’m writing this on a small keyboard of a Acer One. I nearly paniced as the wifi stopped working after a upgrade but a backport sorted the problems out. Haha, I said backport, I’m a proper geek.
