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.

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]
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.

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).

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

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?). [read more]
Hmm, well, I haven’t done much really – just been with Natalie most of the time, which has been nice 🙂
I went with her and her mum to the White Rose Centre yesterday to get her some clothes for her birthday which is on Thursday (same day as Ben’s birthday actually), and we got Ben a present for his too (actually, we only got a keyring which says ‘Heaven doesnt want me, and hell thinks I’ll take over’ but it was a start, and we thought it was quite appropriate as well). I meant to get him a card today, but I managed to forget, drat, we will have to go and get one tomorrow. Because we had to get the 10.30 bus to White Rose, we thought it would be better if I slept at Natalie’s on Saturday, so I did…or tried. I don’t sleep well in other places, and I’m not used to having a lumpy girl snuggled up to me – not that I’m saying its a bad thing, it isn’t, far from it (nor am I saying she is lumpy, shes nice and soft but you know, lumpy as in…well…there), but I’m not used to it, and I find it hard to sleep unless its dark – her curtains are thin, and yellow, and mine have blackout linings, I’m just not used to it. So I didn’t sleep very well that night. I was planning on sleeping in today, but I didn’t, mainly because I stayed at her house last night too. Her mum offered, and it did seem like a nice idea, so I did. I slept a little better, but I’m still tired. I will sleep tonight for a while I hope…sleep in tomorrow. Actually, she is staying here on Wednesday just to look after me while my parents are away for the night. I was wanting to have a nice romantic night in, but we have rehearsals for theatre festival that night now, which might spoil that a little. Never mind. Oh, then on Thursday night we are going out for a meal for her birthday, so I don’t know what will be happening there, probably come back here like we did after Emma’s party. Then on Friday I am going bowling with her family (for her birthday, lol), so I will stay there that night, and Saturday, Ben is having a party, so I guess we will be staying there that night, and if not, there here sounds like a good option, its closer.
Talking about today (I was a while back, lol), I went to get Nat’s presents. I got her this twisted silver bracelet from Samuel’s, which I like a lot, and a teddy thing that is holding its arms out wanting a hug, its really sweet. I got her a card which is ‘To Someone Special’, with Tatty Teddy from the ‘Me to You‘ collection, which I like alot as well. So thats what I got her, and I will give to her on Thursday morning.
Ah, I need to go and wrap it all, so I will be off. I know there was more I wanted to say, just I can’t be bothered to find my dictaphone which is it all recorded on.
Well not much has happened – I haven’t done much because there hasn’t been much to do.
Natalie has been working a shift from 12.30 – 3.30 last week (Monday to Friday anyway), and is this week too, so I can’t see her in the week, and I don’t have much to do in the week…but we spent the weekend together, which was nice, very nice.
My parents went off for the weekend to this sort of relaxation weekend in the North Yorkshire moors, and so I was alone with the cat at home. Natalie first invited me to stay over at her house when her dad went out for the night on Friday, and her mum and brother were on holiday with her grandparents, but I couldn’t because of the cat, so she came here instead. It was a really nice evening. I met her from work, and we went to her house to let her get her stuff and have a quick clear round before her mum got home, then we came up here. We were going to go for a walk, but after that, and having something to eat it was quite late and we wanted to watch the final of BB3. We watched the first half of it from the snug, and then moved upstairs for the second half, and watched it in my room, all snuggled up in my bed, it was lovely. Saturday we got up really late. One of her friends rang her on her mobile, and they were talking for ages, so I thought I would potter outside and cut the top lawn while they talked, but just as I was about to start she came out. Anyway, I cut it, then we sat outside in the sun, and I gave her the present that Emma had given me to give to her for her birthday (lol, late I know, but its been in my room for ages). We sat out in the sun with the cat for most of the afternoon, and never got out for a walk like we planned…but it was nice, and I think it would have been too hot anyway.
Sunday I went to her house. It was nice weather again, and this time we did go for a walk. We went down to the school fields a little way from her house, and lay on the banking in the sun, it was nice, but we had to go because the dog was getting too hot and she didn’t have anything to drink. Still it was lovely. When we got back we had a barbecue. I don’t eat anything off them, but her mum made me an omelette which was nice, and then I had a doughnut. We also washed up in the end, after a lot of convincing Nat dried.
They have a swing-ball game, and its great fun…especially because I am actually quite good at it. I hadn’t played it before then, but I beat them all, which was very satisfying, hehe… I’m feeling it now though, I ache in my arms and my back. It made me want to play tennis again actually, but I doubt I will get chance any time soon.
Today I went into Halifax with Ben and Scott…then came home, hung the washing out for my parents, then went back to bed. I was really tired because I went to bed late last night, and then had to be up early today to go to town and meet them at the bus station for 10. Still, I did get about an hour or so this afternoon, so I’m alright now. I will get an early night tonight too, because I don’t have much to do tonight, and I think that if its nice weather I will go for a cycle somewhere tomorrow…but I think they forecast storms for tomorrow, so I will see. Wednesday I think I am going to Ben’s, so then I only have Thursday with nothing to do, before Friday, and I hope I will get to see Natalie – we are going somewhere on Saturday (to be decided), so I think one of us will be staying at the other’s house then!
I don’t know why, but I’m so tired today! I slept in for ages, and it wasn’t as if I got to bed that late (hmm, must have been about 2…), and I slept yesterday afternoon, but I’m still tired, don’t know why. Anyway, I’m going to be in bed by 12 tonight (that was the plan anyway, lol) – its back to college tomorrow, and although I don’t have any lessons until 12.45 tomorrow (because of this new 2 day timetable thing), I still have to be in at 9 for what will be, I’m sure, a total waste of time meeting. I don’t know what I will do with the rest of the time I have to spend before tutorial.
This holiday has gone too quickly. I suppose its because of the very long weekend at the beginning of the week (the Jubilee), mainly. But anyway, I can look forward to only 6 more days of college (how good does that sound, lol)…spread out over 3 weeks (slightly less good)…meaning only 17 1/4 hours of lessons left (heh, how sad is that, counting the hours 😛 ).
Yesterday I met Natalie in Halifax, and we came back here. In the afternoon we went with my mum (my dad was going to come with us, but he didnt get back from the other house soon enough), to the Halifax charity Gala. It was better than most years, but you know what that sort of thing is like, its not great. I suppose it is a nice day out of the house, and the atmosphere is good, and I got to have an ice cream (I have been after one for ages, but I havnt been able to get one because wherever I went the vans were either just dissapearing over the hill, not working, not there at all (like at the market, grr), or there when I was going past on my way somewhere else!). Anyway, I got one, lol.
The other notable thing was that I saw James. We were friends at primary school, but he changed schools (from the one I was at, to a private one, a few villages away). We didnt see each other much after that, but we did occationally. The thing is, James always wanted to be a paramedic when he was at school, and yesterday I saw him – now a memeber of St John’s Ambulance. I was really happy. Sadly he was ‘working’, so we didnt get to talk to each other, but we passed, and smiled. I think thats great 🙂
So today, I have done very little. The most notable thing being that I made some cheese scones…they are very nice, but no where near enough cheese, so I will remember that for next time.
