What I have been up to since last time…

Post length: 569 words, about 2 and a half minutes.

I know it’s been a while since last update, but there isn’t much to say really.

I’m getting on with college, and I have declined a couple of my grades so I have to sit them again – in Physics I am taking the Waves and Nuclear Physics module in January again, after teaching from my nice tutor at home, and Maths I don’t know when I am taking things, but I will be doing, still to work that out.  Talking of my Physics tutor, I am really getting on better in it now with him doing it, he is really, really good, a lot of the things I never really understood with the other tutors I understand with him…which can only be good, lol.

Finally back to college!

Post length: 387 words, about 1 and a half minutes.

It was really back to college today, finally, but as always with our college, it was a bit of a waste of time…I went in at 10, and met Kevin at the front who told me that we were in a different room because they had found asbestos in our old room (hmm, nice to know after I have been using it for a year, lol).  So I was there by myself at 9.  I sorted out what I was going to do, and my new timetable by about ten to 10, and then went up to a meeting with Charlie at 10.  That was about 10 minutes long, but that was supposed to be the time we were in college for (no one had told me we were supposed to be in at 10, and not nine).  So after that we all, as a group, went back down to our room, and went though all the things that I had already been though – a total waste of time for me.  Anyway, he kept us until about 12 then let us go. I could have gone at just after 10, but anyway… [read more]

College, Party in the Park, and a bit more

Post length: 1,000 words, about 4 and a half minutes.

So its September again, and September in England to students means that its back to education.  So it should be back to college, and it will be on Friday…but no one bothered to tell the second years at college that we start again on Friday.  I don’t know where I got it from, but I have written down in my diary that we start back on the 2nd, and when I spoke to other people from college, they thought the same…but apparently not.

25th August, 2002

Post length: 615 words, about 2 and a half minutes.

Yey, well, I havn’t written for ages again, and, again, that’s because I havn’t done anything!

Hmm, so this last week the days have been broken between sleeping, being on my computer here, and being with Natalie.  I think the two main ones there are Natalie and sleep…and a bit of sleeping with Natalie, lol.  Actually, I only stayed at her house last weekend and this weekend, no other time, which is a little surprising for us.  I think its been probably because of the hours she has been working – they have been all over the place, and I havn’t known when she was and wasn’t – and also because we have been trying to get used to not being able to be with each other all the time, like we have over the holidays.  Its going to be really strange to go back to college in those terms – I miss her when I’m not with her for a day or two, and when we go back we wont be able to see each other for ages at a time, then not for long when we do get to be together – I don’t honestly know how we will manage, for a while at least.  Have to I suppose.  I just don’t want to think about if we end up going to Unis over the other end of the country from each other (I suppose if we are together then, but I hope, oh, I do hope).

Survey about Natalie

Post length: 488 words, just over 2 minutes.

Well, I stole this from Amber without her permission, and ruthlessly changed certain words 😉

  1. Do you have a Girlfriend? Yes…
  2. What is her Name? Natalie.
  3. How did you meet? First time, about four and a half years ago, at Jaffa’s…after that at Theatre School, and finally in Sociology at college.
  4. Why do you like her? Hmm, I can’t say.  It sounds silly I know, but I can’t say why, I don’t know.  I like everything about her.
  5. Do you remember what you were wearing when you first met? No, not at all, not the first time…not any of the ‘first’ times.
  6. Do you remember what she was wearing when you first met? Again, no.
  7. Do you remember a song that was popular at the time you first met? Hmm, B*Witched – C’est La Vie.
  8. Do you have a special song? No, we don’t really…
  9. Do you have a special movie? No.
  10. What is the age gap between both of you? 6 Months, 22 Days.
  11. Do you like being older/younger? It’s not so much of a gap, so we don’t really notice.
  12. Do you know her birthdate? I hope so having said how much the gap is to the day, lol!  11 June.
  13. Do you know where she was born? Halifax.
  14. Is she a star sign that are you compatible with? Apparently we should be very good together, and we should have a hot, passionate relationship that can last too! lol.

  16. Have you told her about her annoying habit? I would, but tactfully.
  17. Do they snore? Um, yes, but only when she lies on her back.
  18. Do they hog the bed? By about 5 in the morning I usually wake up because she is lying in the middle and I am pushed to the side, but its only in her bed I have a problem, when she stays here we are ok because we sleep in my double 😉
  19. Do you have similar interests? Yes and no – some things we do share, and others we don’t, which is fine.
  20. Do you have similar tastes in music? Yeah.
  21. Do you have kids? No, and don’t intend to have them – we both hate them!
  22. Do you know what she is doing now? She’ll be in bed at this time (then so will most of the population of this country).

  24. When did you last kiss? Just before we set off from her house today on the way to her work.
  25. When did you last hug? Sort of in the bus station today, but properly, after she got off the phone to Helen.
  26. What color are her eyes? Murky blue.
  27. What color is her hair? Blonde, but she has a dark streak on the left by her ear.

Exam results

Post length: 390 words, about 1 and a half minutes.

Exam Results came out today, and, hmm, well, I am happy with some of them, but I have to admit that I am not happy with the rest :-\

Here we go then (starting bad, getting better, lol): Maths & Physics – E 🙁  Sociology – C, General Studies – B (I got 100% in one of the papers, I don’t know how, the examiner must have been drinking, lol), Computing – A.

I’m happy with the last 3, but its the first two that are a problem.  I knew for a long time that I wouldn’t get a good mark in Maths, but I wasn’t sure about Physics…I thought a C maybe, but…well.  OK, so I know I didn’t do work this year, I know that I should have done work, I know I should have actually taken it seriously, and I know I have no excuse for what I got, I know that.  Still, I have to do something about it, and I will do.

I suppose I can say that until the cows come home, but I will do, I will do something about it – number one, do some actual work this next year in college!  I don’t know what else I am going to do about it, but I only got the results today, and I will think about it tonight I’m sure, and see what I can do about it.  I suppose I can resit parts of the exams which let me down, that is a possibility with the AS levels, however much I don’t like the idea of them.  But not to dwell on the bad things, I got 100% on one of the G/S papers, which was impressive (very impressive), and I did better than I thought I would in Sociology, hehe.

My parents are going away in about 3 weeks, to central Europe…that will be fun to say that most of it is underwater, hehe.  They are going to the two places that are the worst hit, hopefully their holiday wont be totally messed up, but we will have to see.

That’s about all I want to say for now.  I’ll think about college things, and I’ll let you know what I decide, whatever, I’ll be OK, and as Natalie said – I still have her, and we love each other.

Oppps…been a while…

Post length: 518 words, about 2 and a half minutes.

With all this doing nothing, I haven’t been here to update!  Well, here we go, not all that interesting, but worth a quickie…

So whats been up, not much to be honest – I have been seeing Natalie a lot, I stayed over at her house on Wednesday because it was her dad’s birthday and her parents wanted me to(!!), and I stayed last night too because her parents went out for a meal for her dad’s birthday, and we looked after her brother (who is 12, but its a good excuse to stay over there, lol).  We watched ‘Meet the Parents’ which was quite amusing…we were going to watch ‘What Women Want’ but it was on at 8 and we weren’t really wanting to snuggle down by then, so we waited until 9 (this was on Sky Premier).  Today we didn’t do anything really — stayed in bed until late, then we were going to go for a walk but it rained and then when we were going to wander to the shop (just for some sweets and to get out), her mum panics because her brother wasn’t back from swimming 7 hours after they went (he just spent the day out in the end, then went to his friend’s house after, but she was worried).

Pointless Entry

Post length: 360 words, about 1 and a half minutes.

I wanted to go out today, but its just been stormy all day.  I suppose that we had to expect it after the nice weather that we have had, but it was the one day I wanted to go out.

Hmm, so what have I done?  Not much, in fact this is going to be a pointless entry, but that’s just the way it is, lol.

I got up at about 10.15, and came on the computer, in fact with all the time I spent on it today, I have nothing to show for it at all.  When the storms started I came off to stop my computer from getting fried, and I watched the Commonwealth games.  It is alright to watch every so often when I’m bored, I saw some swimming, some bowls and some squash…good fun 🙂  Then I went over to the workshop and drummed a bit, just because I had nothing else to do.  When I came back I was just washing my hands, when the rain suddenly came down in torrents.  When it rains the back drain blocks, so I put on waterproofs and went out to clear it.  Good fun.  Came in, had some food, went to bed for a little sleep, then came on here.  Good fun.

Hmm, so that’s me, lol.  Ben and Emma are…well, I don’t know.  After their split up, Ben said they were back together…but apparently Emma says they are not (that’s what Nat said she said).  Today Emma was supposed to go to Ben’s, and ring him at about 1, but she didn’t, so he is confused…sooo…as I say, I don’t really care anymore, I am going to sit back and watch and enjoy myself.  When they come to me all upset, I’m not going to care, I have had enough, I’m not going to be supportive, I have done that enough, and they keep pissing, about.  I know it sounds awful, but I have had enough, let them be silly, and I am going to watch…and I’m not changing my mind…that’s what I am going to do!

There you go, a pointless entry.

This Week Just Gone

Post length: 1,221 words, about 5 and a half minutes.

Wow, well, a lot has happened this week, its been a busy week (umm, this is last week I am talking about, lol).  It started off quite nicely with just rehearsals for the show we are taking to Epping on Tuesday, but it has had a lot of things go on since.

I don’t remember if I have written about Natalie’s birthday party in here before, but I can’t remember and so I will put it again (if you read it already, you can skip this paragraph 😉 ).  We were planning on going out to the Dusk ’till Dawn restaurant (the place Emma had her party) with people from theatre school and a few others, then come back here.  That should have been Thursday, and I went off to White Rose on Saturday to buy clothes with Nat and her mum on Saturday (I know I talked about that).  Now, Emma said that she would book the place, and had said this for a few weeks when, on Tuesday, she told Nat that, apparently, couldn’t afford it and that she was working (she works at McDonald’s.  Its quite funny, she works at McDonald’s and Ben, her b/f, now works at KFC, so wherever we go to eat we can get a reduction, hehe) that night so couldn’t come.  That also meant that she hadn’t booked the place and for some reason best known to themselves, it also meant that Ben couldn’t go either (do you see any logic in that?).
