A little improvment

Things seem to be improving a little a college, I think I’m finding my place there again.

My poetry is also improving, I’m just writing all the time whenever I have the time… I’m just loving writing again.

Today I journeyed to Burger King with Koshie and had lunch their… I love Burger King… I think I have an addiction.

I got to go home from college early today because my last lesson was technically cancelled. I might have next Thursday off college because of some teacher strikes.

I’m worried about when Scott and Stacey come to stay in Cambridge, because I don’t want Stacey to get up set about me and Scott being together (like physically)… I think I would in her position… So I don’t want things to be awkward for her, but at the same time I want to be able to be with Scott properly for a change especially as we will actually be able to be a proper couple, well at least for a few days… So I don’t know what to do about that….

Anyways, early night as I need to get enough sleep so that I am able to go to work at the weekend…. I have no weekend this weekend I am going to be so dead next week.

Just one of those days

Today I’ve been in a really odd mood, I’m thinking about things way to much that I would normally think about. It really isn’t like me to be like this.

I was really worried this morning because I woke up to a text from Joe saying that our ICT exam was today and not tomorrow. Turns out it is actually tomorrow, I figured that out after 20 mins of panicking.

Once I realised I was actually going to be home all day I decided to just chill out completely all day, something I haven’t been able to do in a while, I ended up doing some data entry work (earnt £9.10, I’ve worked out that this month i should earn over £200, will be pretty cool if that happens!!) and I’ve spent hours playing on zoo tycoon, so basically I’ve wasted the day.

I have spent quite a bit of the day talking to Scott which has been good and will really make up for the fact I can’t talk to him for practically the whole day tomorrow as I’m in isolation all day…. I’m really not looking forward to it. I’ve discovered that he looks REALLY good in a proper shirt, I think he should wear them more often.

I’ve been looking at starting driving lessons again but I really do think it’ll be way to expensive for the time being, especially when I’m trying to save for uni.

Me and Scott have started to have major problems again tonight. He had ago at me for being upset, which I can’t really help if that’s how I feel, I thought he would have been there for me but instead he had a go at me. I don’t think I’m allowed to have feelings anymore. He posts all our problems on facebook and that kind of annoys me because our relationship is private, I don’t want everyone knowing all our problems like that… Plus I found out that the chain I got him for us being together a year, he never got fixed after it got broken, that kind of hurt me a little bit because that was supposed to be something special, but it can’t of meant that much to him if he’s left it this long. I wish things like this would stop happening between us…

Milly has invited me out with everyone for a Chinese, but I don’t think I’ll be able to go as if I do I won’t be able to afford to do anything with Scott and Stacey when they come to stay in Cambridge.

Plenty to do today

Today has been quite a busy day.

First thing this morning I spoke to Scott on skype, we had a really good chat so it was a nice way to start the morning off!

Then I had to bike to work which is 3.3 miles from my house it only took me 30 minutes to get there though which was a lot faster than I thought it would take me, it meant that I arrived an hour early for work! I had issues with my bike lock as it didn’t even work… It wasn’t too bad arriving to work early as Bethany arrived about 15 minutes after I did so I wasn’t on my own for long, we had a nice little chat and then went into work on time, checked the rota and waited for everyone to arrive.

We all walked down to the play barn apart from Rosie and Scott as they were working in the shop, as soon as we got in the door at the play barn Bethany got a phone call from May saying that I needed to go down to the shop, so I walked all the way back again.

Once I got in the shop I had full till training on the new till, there was a few people arriving to begin with but as we had bad weather it wasn’t that busy. As there wasn’t many people to admit into the park me and Rosie ended up bagging animal feed to sell, we had quite a good chat while we were doing it too. Then May cam and asked if I could help clean the fish filter with her so we spent quite a while making sure that was totally clean and hosing it down, it was quite funny as May kept worrying about me getting my shoes wet. Then I got asked to catch a guinea pig which was quite easy, it got taken out to an event. When I came back into the shop Rosie was going home because she felt ill so then I spent a while selling tickets and various other items in the shop.

I got to have my lunch at 2pm and went outside with Megan and Bethany and ate my lunch while they had their fags, as their lunch finished before mine we went in early and I finished my lunch inside. When I finished my lunch break Bethany had come down from the play barn to help out in the shop. We spent a while filling up more bags of feed to sell as the shop was really quiet. I was then sent off to go do litter picking which took ages as people seem to find it really difficult to put their rubbish in the bins! Once I had done that I did various other little jobs in the shop, tiding up and things like that. Then May showed me how to clean the outside toilets round the park and the ball pit that took quite a while today and isn’t the best job to be given at work! When I had finished that I went back into the shop and helped Bethany to make some keyrings, then I got to go home!

My Dad came to pick me and my bike up so that I didn’t have to bike all the way home which was pretty nice. My phone started playing up so since about 6.15 I haven’t been receiving texts properly, I think I may have sorted it now but I don’t know…

Scott has been to hospital again, he’s cracked his knee cap… I really hate it when he’s hurt himself coz it really worried me especially as when we’re so far apart I can’t do anything to help.

Been collecting some more software onto my laptop, I now have mac’s photobooth on my windows laptop and I also have sony vegas pro.

Not a lot else to say really, just watching Manchester United in the champions league final and then I’m going to bed because I’m really tired.

Day out with the grandparents

 

I haven’t posted anything recently as there hasn’t really been a lot going on.

Yesterday – Exam Day

At the moment I am on study leave which means I only have to go in for the exams.

Yesterday I had my business exam, at 9am, I really wasn’t awake enough to sit an exam. I don’t think I did as well as my last exam for business (I got an A)  but as long as I pass I will have the chance to re-sit it next year.

The exam was supposed to finish at half 10 but we started it late which meant me and Matt missed the 10.50 bus, we decided to walk down to Waitrose to buy some food, (I got a chicken and stuffing sandwich, I love them) then we walked all the way back to other bus stop to meet Sophie and Jonny (It was Jonny’s Birthday) and got the 11.50 bus with them.

Once I finally got home I watched neighbours and just chilled out all afternoon.

Scotsdales Garden Center Ltd

TODAY – Lunch in Scotsdales with my grandparents

Today, me and my Mum went out with my Nan and Granddad to Scotsdales and had lunch in the garden centre and had a look round. It was really nice to see them as I haven’t seen them for ages, because I’m usually at college or work whenever they come over to our house.

I saw an advert in the paper this morning for a sale on a laptop at Argos with a 6GB RAM which is really unusual, my parents have agreed to pay for it tomorrow and I’ll just pay them back £150 of it, as the rest will be for my 18th birthday present. I can’t wait to get it as then I’ll be able to start getting all the software that I want and not have to worry about effecting the pc for everyone else. Can’t wait for tomorrow!

Waterloo road tonight, I love that program.

Sometimes Life Is Busy...

 

Friday Night – Work Outing (Lucky Star & Bowling)

240248_10150184060062779_529442778_7001189_7113919_o

Friday I ended up coming home from college early as I didn’t want to sit through endless optional revision sessions.

225473_10150192777009347_644029346_6659184_7519372_nI spent the afternoon at Bethany’s having a catch up, we then went to the station to catch (and meet everyone else on) the train. Originally for our work evening out we were supposed to go to Nando’s but because we were going to have to wait 50 minutes for a table big enough to fit us all 226482_10150192776769347_644029346_6659177_565402_non (9 people; me, Bethany, Lucy, Megan, May, Scott, Josh, Lucy and Rosie) we decided to go to the Luck Star instead which is an all you can eat Chinese Buffet. We all ate loads of food 227907_10150192777094347_644029346_6659187_3447492_nand as Bethany put it – went into food comas. Lovely May paid for everyone’s food too! We then went bowling although Josh and Scott didn’t come as they were going to a party instead. Bowling was hilarious as May wanted to get us all drunk, plus we were all terrible at bowling. It was 250380_10150192776689347_644029346_6659175_7967812_na really great evening generally as it was good fun and everyone was just really relaxed. We got a taxi home at about half 11, the taxi journey was really funny as we were all a little bit tipsy.

 

Saturday – Work

This morning was quite a struggle to get up due to the late night, BUT I did manage to get up and out of bed at 7:30 am which I thought was pretty impressive.

I started my day this morning talking to Scott on Skype, which was really nice way to start the day off. Especially now that everything is good between us again, we had a really good conversation and had a good laugh together too.

Today has felt like a really long day as it was really busy at work. I’m starting to feel more settled in the job because I’m becoming more familiar with everything. There are new tills though which are slightly more confusing than the old ones but I’m sure it won’t take too long to get used to them!

I’m starting to come down with a cold but I think that’s because of the lack of sleep I’ve had over the past week or so. I’m planning on having an early night so that I’m prepared for work tomorrow!

1 out of 4

I managed to finish the massive list of entries I got assigned by my data entry boss people in my free today which I was quite chuffed about!

My business lesson at college was pretty boring today we got feedback on our mocks from our teacher individually which meant once your 2 minutes of advice was up you had to sit and revise. As usual in these kinds of circumstances I got side tracked and found plenty of other things to do other than the revision that was in front of me.

Lunch was a normal lunch really nothing exciting happened in particular.

I had half of my free as I had my Media exam today (the first of four exams). I don’t think I did very well in it to be honest as I didn’t understand half of the paper that was worth 50 marks, which could effect my grade quite considerably.

Me and Scott are slowly getting back to how we used to be/ should be , it really is a case of giving it all some time to sort itself out.

I’m really looking forward to Friday, going out with work and getting to see Bethany, it will be good to have a catch up. Then I’m working with her on Saturday as well. Plus I’m working Sunday… This week is turning into a pretty good week for earning money.

I decided to work on the last few parts of my little project so that I would be able to launch it, turns out where blogger was down the whole thing was put back to where it was 3 weeks ago or something stupid so I’ve spent most of this evening rebuilding it, the launch is now being put back by a few days while everything is being sorted out…

Today hasn’t been that interesting really.

Bit of a boring day…

There hasn’t really been much happening today, I was at work.

Work – well it wasn’t too busy, just busy enough so that we didn’t get too bored doing nothing, although we did get to come home an hour early as there wasn’t anything to do. I’ve been invited out on the work thing on Friday, a meal at Nandos and bowling, if I go it means I’ll get to see Bethany, she’s the one who got me the job. I’m working Saturday and Sunday next week, it could be pretty tiring. I didn’t manage to get any pictures of any of the animals because I only had a half hour lunch and I didn’t eat it outside, next time maybe…

I’ve entered the new pepsi competition a zillion times and haven’t won anything, by the time (if) I ever win I might as well of just saved the money and I would have £300.

Got college tomorrow, a full day, not really looking forward to it although I’ve only got this week left then I’m on study leave.

Me and Scott haven’t really spoken much the last few days. Things are okay between us, but they aren’t great/ how they used to be. I guess I’ve just got to give it time and see what happens. We didn’t really talk last night, then we ended up having an argument. We’ve not going to be able to talk properly tonight because it’s his Dads birthday on Tuesday and Scott’s family are having a party for him. In some ways it feels as though we aren’t as close as we used to be, I just wish we could have a ‘normal’ relationship without the distance because sometimes it really strains things and makes things seem a million times worse.

I had a great conversation with my ex Louis just talking about loads of stuff last night/ first thing this morning. Its nice to catch up with someone when you haven’t seen or spoken to them in a long time. I also had a really nice conversation with this guy called Joe who is in my ICT class, Joe is lovely and is always a laugh, he’s the one who cheers me up whenever me and Scott have an argument, plus he’s just a really great guy.

Bout it really…

Eventful but really good day

I was confronted with one of these today, it was a really exciting moment. I’ll come back to this in a bit though.

I woke up at 5.30am this morning because my phone was going crazy, Scott was in Hospital. I had no Idea why, turns out he fell down some concrete stairs and split his head open. Needless to say I was really worried. But he’s okay now.

I had my trial today, I was really nervous. (kind of like that picture). Anyways I arrived slightly early and the people who greeted me were really nice, plus this girl called Rachel who I used to play football with had a trial too so we had a little bit of a catch up. I spent the morning in the ticket place selling the tickets, programs/ park guides, animal food, stuff like that and learning how to use the till, this is when I encountered my first £50 note, it was pretty exciting! Then I had lunch, which was just a boring packed lunch. Then I went into the play barn where the big cafe is, I spent all afternoon there doing random things like washing up, cleaning tables, serving food, taking orders that kind of things. The day went really quickly, I got paid £25 and got asked to go back on Sunday, and I can't wait to go, looks like my uni savings are on the up!

Today was a good day.

Tomorrow I’m going to Cromer because my Dad won some stuff on ebay that he needs to pick up from there. I like that place I have a lot of memories there.

Me and Scott are good now, really good. Which was a bonus to the day.
