Enjoying My 4 Day Weekend

I must say I do quite enjoy having a 4 day weekend. I'm actually have more time off than I do at college and that's great. Not having to go in 4 days a week and instead only 3 saves me 2 hours of travelling on the bus which is great.

College life is getting back to swing and it's just how it's supposed to be, alright and fun. Been messing around quite a bit in Gordon's lessons looking at funny pictures but ultimately it's no big deal because I know with Gordon he doesn't ask for much in his assignments meaning 100% attention in his lessons really isn't needed.

I'm a bit peckish now and fancy making myself some lunch but he said he may bring me food back which will be much more yummy than what I make myself here. Must persevere and wait!

Back to College for Year 2

Yesterday my alarm woke me up at 6:45 for the first time in about 100 days. It was the first day of the 2nd and final year at Bedford college and I was able to get up, eat breakfast and be ready and out of the house in time to get the 7:30 bus.

The day progressed quite slowly and was quite a bore thanks to my new teacher Phillipe. It shall take some time to adjust to her I'm sure (especially considering I have her for 4 and a 1/2 hours on Wednesday for 3 different units!) but it should't be too bad as she seems a nice lady.

Key Skills has gotten off to a flying start for me thanks to the great topics we're doing this year. I didn't like doing a sports day for a primary school last year and I hated having to find holiday prices. This year thankfully I am able to write article/letter and do a presentation on why Tony Hawk is an inspiration to me as well as doing Maths Level 2 on finding whether the Xbox 360 or PS3 is the most cost-effective games console. I'm currently getting myself ahead in this lesson with my friend Alex in a bid to be finished in just a few weeks, an immense achievement if we manage it.

I was very tired on the way home on the bus yesterday and had a half nap when I got in. Thankfully today I have coped better, 3 days in a row of getting up at 6:45am is going to take some getting used to!

Went to the Doctor's

Went to the doctor's in Little Paxton today to get my ankle checked out. There was no new news for me to hear, wasn't very helpful either really. I'm hoping to see a physio tomorrow who will give me exercises to do and give me a recommendation as to when I should go back in to skateboarding.

As for now my plan is to not skate until October and just pray it will fully heal.
