So Demotivated Today

Thursday was a full day of College, has been since the strand choice decision came in to swing. First lesson was great, I tweaked my Tic Tac Toe game even more to fix bugs and such. Was funny as me and Paula (my teacher) spent like 20 minutes trying to figure out how we could stop the process from repeating so you couldn't place a nought or cross over a square which has already been pressed and then she finally worked out all we needed to type was "End Sub"! Happens a lot in programming, takes the longest time to find easy solutions.

But the main core of this blog post was for me to blab about my day in general at college. 2nd lesson was Advanced Databases and I came in alright (had Sue my tutor moan at me previously which was annoying) and listened at first to learn about Forms but then lost interest. I feel bad because John puts so much effort in to doing the teacher and no one bothers to listen, this has a knock off effect on me too so I end up day dreaming and not doing anything. I am not too bothered because I can do forms with a wizard so I'm sure I will be fine. I didn't finish off my Task 6 though due to the lack of motivation, oh dear.

Lunch time was cool. Pound Land got me £1 worth of Maryland Cookies (I am tempted to have some now but I won't as it's bed time! lol) and then £2 on a Chicken Tikka baugette with Aaron was a tastey lunch.

Lesson 3 was terrible as I actually spent the whole 90 minutes doing nothing but checking out random stuff on Wikipedia and doing no work. Did you know greeks used to believe that yawning is a sign of the person's soul trying to leave their body? I thought that was interesting as well as the research I learnt about scars on your body and more. That lesson ended and fourth with Wahid started which was bad again. On came the video and me being tired already just couldn't take it for long so after 20-30 minutes I dozed off for 10 mins or so. I somehow always managed to wake back up though and when I did it became more interesting (history of computers) so I paid more attention and was actually disappointed when he stopped it to do some talking which I REALLY was not motivated for. He finished 10 minutes early but that last 20 minutes went sooooo slow.

Anyway I'm not quite sure why I decided to write so much, I think it's because I know I've been lacking and feel like I need to actually bother with doing a blog as it's my New Year Resolution and all. I'm doing quite good though, most people give it up after a few weeks. I'm about 2 months in so I'm happy with my commitment at the moment.

Half Term Is Soon Ending

I'm at the weekend now and then it's back to college on Monday. I've really enjoyed the time off but I want more! Thankfully Staff Training Day (or whatever they call it gives me Tuesday and Wednesday off and then it's back to college.

I haven't been up to much apart from playing Xbox 360 really (read about that in my other blog). Never know what to put in this blog anymore as I can never be bothered to mention what I've done in a usual boring day. Meh.

Time To Sleep With Tay Tay

It's been a rather long exhausting day full of events. The day started off lame as Taylor decided she would take ages getting ready, meaning she eventually got to my house at gone 2PM, much later than I anticipated. Afterwards we watched 40 Days and 40 Nights, a pretty good romantic comedy film which I enjoyed. After that she left again to go and get ready to go out for our meal which was a shame for her as I was moody at the prospect of having to be charged £25 for some indian which although wasn't horrible it wasn't anything special.

Now we're at my house settling down for a good night sleep together. She's waiting for me so I will hurry up and finish blabbing now, bye bye.

I Made Tic Tac Toe & Time For Half Term

It's been a long week but it's finally ended and Half Term is coming. Didn't know if I was going to bother going in to college today but I'm glad I bothered and sent it as I got more work done on my Key Skills assignment (which I now enjoy as it's skateboarding related) as well as making Tic Tac Toe program! Was really happy with myself as I didn't think I'd be able to do it but I proved myself wrong and got it going. Third lesson was giving my presentation on skateboarding and I enjoyed that, fourth lesson was bad as I did nothing haha.

Just very grateful that I have time off to relax now, I need it.

Bus Broke Down

So I was minutes late to my first lesson today, a rare occurance. It wasn't even my fault, the bus was playing up. Arriving 10 minutes late the bus driver then (for reasons unknown to me) stoped for 15 minutes as something was wrong with it. After waiting for help (was none) he went to Market Square (main stop in my town) and rested again there for 5 minutes. By now it was 30 minutes late and the next bus in the schedule (one comes every 30 mins) overtook us! I was rather frustrated but thankfully my driver decided to continue the journey and got me to Bedford with minimal time left to get to class on time.

Not done much in the evening apart from have a nice time with Taylor and a bit of Xbox.

Beat Taylor to 2,000 Killswitch

So we had a silly little bet, who could listen to Killswitch Engage 2,000 times first. She only had 180 plays to go and I had something like 380, she had the advantage.

Thanks to me listening to them basically from rise until dawn yesterday I managed to catch up and beat her by a few tracks right at the end!

Day of Drama

So I posted this morning saying College was called off because of the snow. Well I have gotten up to lots since then starting off with the little snow fight me Taylor, Chloe and Caitlin had. We took some photos and my Dad came out for a bit and was amusing. We tried to make a snowman but that attempt went bad and we gave up quite quickly as Caitlin ruined it.

At one point when I went inside to get the camera I ended up smashing my head really badly as I jumped down the stairs and clipped my head on the ceiling. I flew to the floor in a heap covering my scalp in pain. I had to sit down for a bit then and get my thoughts together (I'm suprised I didn't get knocked out) and have Taylor laugh at me when I told her the story (she is so evil!). I still have a bump on my head which you can actually see and I plan to tell people I got hit by a snowball and see how many people I can fool lol.

The last piece of drama in the day has come recently when I found out I could have saved £7 if I got Skate 2 today instead of yesterday (ShopTo are selling for £27 now). I explained better detail in my Gaming Habits blog so check that out for all the details.

No College Again Today

I had a horrible night sleep, just tossed and turned for ages and I woke up before my alarm went off and I was just waiting for the dreaded sound. I got up, turned it off and prepared for a boring day but then boooom I see the snow outside! I been checking online and it seems like Bedfordshire transport is closed so I'm not going to even bother going college, would much rather have a day off and snow fight with Taylor. :D

Dull Day

Today has been a rather boring dull day as it has mainly consisted of me playing on my Xbox 360, kinda like yesterday. Snow seems to be going but will apparently fall again on Thursday and Friday. Taylor will be at her mums then and hopefully we can go have a snow fight. :D

Had some yucky curry earlier which I really didn't enjoy eating, was the icing on the cake of this relatively crap day.

Woo It's Snowing

Haven't seen anything like it in years. It really is snowing and we're getting inches of it! This meant that College was weird and everyone decided to leave after first lesson and I followed suit. Had a small snowball fight with my mates outside and then decided I'd go home.

Not done much since I've been here, just played PS3, some Xbox and not done any work, whoops!
