okay i can't think of a reason why i haven't blogged on here for about half a month. oh well.

well, it's been extremely cold for the past week and a bit, it's snowed more i've ever seen, it's really unbelievable how thick it is.

i took a few of photos of the snow, used my flickr for the first time in a while. i'm only allowed 40 more photos on, so i best wait if i'd like to add any more photos.

i would say i enjoyed taking those photos more than any photography project i'd done the previous 2 years, because i wasn't trying to fit them under a criteria or anything like that. just wanted to remember the snow in a nice way.

downsides of the weather, making it hard to get to college.

monday i didn't go in, because i didn't know if the bus was going to get me there in time, but i felt pretty shitty for doing that because i probably could've went in.

tuesday, i was telling myself i'd go in, but i'd never felt so ill with the cold before. i only needed to be there for a couple of hours as well, there would've been no point waiting so long to get to places.

i was 30 minutes late on wednesday, then i was stuck outside the classroom because the teacher thought it was clever to lock everyone inside. when i finally got into the classroom, there was under 10 students, i don't remember how many exactly. but it really shows how many people had been effected.

second half of the day, even less people turned up, and that was supposed to be the class that everyone has to go to.

friday my group went to shoot stuff for our programme. ended up being the earliest there, even though i got the impression i'd be the last there. i ordered my food and ate it alone, then everyone came later and ordered theres, people in my group weren't happy, others were content. i was just sitting silently.

i basically spent all afternoon there filming stuff in the snow, i think it was pretty productive, we got about 3 minutes recorded of shots, then i don't remember how much interview we got. need to go back next year.
waited over an hour for a bus home, and it took an hour to get home. it was an awful journey. not looking forward to travelling tomorrow.

so it's almost christmas, bought some presents for people, still need to get loads more. it's quite worrying thinking about it, but if i've already bought stuff it shouldn't be that hard.
really looking forward to spending time with my family though.

also looking forward to seeing megamind on wednesday, been waiting for that for a while. i haven't been to the cinema for a few weeks now, but there hasn't been much on anyway. apart from that disney film which was only on for a week and liv called the cinema trip off < / 3

but i'm excited for next year and i can see all the new films and be excited especially THE GREEN HORNET. YES SON.

i don't even know what i'm saying anymore. i had so much more to say in my head.

i hope i do my next blog sooner.

OH WAIT BLINK-182 NEXT SUMMER.

CAN NOT WAIT.

this sums up my day, almost.

well my plans for today basically got cancelled, and i'm glad because this morning i was just not going to go ahead anyway.

my day was still pretty nerve-racking though, because i had to do a presentation. i decided to do mine on wes anderson. everyone else had done more than 5 slides, photos on every slide, clips longer than 1 minute, and loads of information on their pages. mine was totally dull compared to everyone elses.
i included 2 of his adverts in the presentation and i got no complaints about it.
i made loads of mistakes when i was speaking too, i said that jason schwartzman is an arthouse actor most of the time, and i meant to say indie. i feel like an idiot thinking about that mostly.

oh and i was like "luke wilsons in his films too because he's obviously owen wilsons brother".

someone asked me a question about the royal tenenbaums, and i got really into the question, went to lean on the thing behind me, ended up sitting on the computer keyboard and making the computer go crazy.

then my teacher asked which my favourite film was and i went "OOOOH" and stared at the list of films on the list for ages, til i basically read them all out. i must of looked like a right sod.

really looking forward for tomorrow, basically because i get to go to the cinema after college, and probably watch a film before that. actually i dunno.

the rest of today i've just been looking for jobs. um.

i want to watch the simpsons and i want a doughnut. OH IT'S 6 GONNA WATCH SIMPSONS OKETRERJKB

i wasn't looking forward to today, but it actually wasn't that bad!

in college we were told to go in early cause we have a new temp teacher and he doesn't have time to be in all day.

he wanted to introduce us by saying our name, where we're from, and favourite film. everyone seemed to be finding it difficult to pick a film, which is something i've never really understood about people i suppose.

once i mentioned edward scissorhands he said "tim burton fan huh? that film is a bit girly" then a lad interrupted him and said "we were just saying how it was mint, it's not girly.... i like football"

then my teacher was talking about his favourite films and he goes on about different genres til he said "but wes anderson is my favourite director. rushmore, life aquatic, royal tenenbaums, y'know" and i nodded my head, and he glanced over, but no one else seemed to care.

then we had a ridiculous 2 hour gap, which i sat and looked on facebook through, went to the reception to ask about my bus pass, then go on facebook again. boring.

after that, in class the teacher made us all seperate into 4 groups to do voxpops, i had no idea where to start deciding which group i should join. but i was invited to a group, all people i get along okay with.
i ended up standing talking to julie about drunkenness, as we normally do.

but yeah, we had to ask people about handcuffs without letting them say wrists or police. awkward.

but i did my first ever directing role. it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, even though i forgot how to count at one point. whatever. i could be the next stanley kubrick if i wanted to be.

can't be bothered to talk about what else happened in college, but it wasn't that much else.

on the way home i walked into my mam and my sister, which was weird since i decided to walk the route home i don't normally walk. KREEPIE.

got home, watched the darjeeling limited, which was the second time i watched it, and there was stuff i noticed and was like "AWWW ♥">

and i had a nice bath.

i really don't know what to expect tomorrow, but i'm not as worried as i was this time last week.
at least it'll be a break in the chain of repetition like the previous college days seemed to turn into.

the first few days of this week weren't good at all. i don't even know what it was specifically put me off enjoying monday at all, but i figure it may be down to my sleeping pattern.
in college i had to sit on a stool like what i had to sit on in science in high school, when i was walking out that lesson i had horrible back pain.

i thought tuesday would be better cause i was travelling to college with my mam, cause she had a meeting at central station.
i guess my mood was caused by someone in my class, but i don't even want to go on about it because of how stupid it is. ugh. i might mention it in a later blog, but hopefully not.

wednesday i landed the job as tv presenter, which i wasn't that worried about, til i read the script. i didn't want to to it, yet i wanted it out the way. my teacher being nice made everyone change roles cause he knew i couldn't do it. i ended up being floor manager.
i guess that lesson i discovered who in my class i don't think i could work with. one of being one of the people that annoyed me the previous day. at least i found out someone else in my class who agreed with me.

then at lunch time lauren said she couldn't meet me, and i couldn't be bothered to search for people in my class to spend lunch with, so i venutred to the closest boots alone.

i got to my class a few minutes early, but for once i wasn't the only one there.
i was annoyed/confused by something.

after that, i think my day kind of went uphill.

we watched sunshine by danny boyle, which i'd never seen before. when i think about it, i think i liked it more than i thought i would.

however, the discussion afterwards meant that i'd be late for meeting liv and alice at starbucks. i literally rushed there, and i think it took about 20 minutes to get there. before i even sat down, patrick came up behind me and said hello and asked me if i bought a drink yet. he bought my drink for me, i think that basically settled that the bad chain of events were over.

although i ended up missing my teachers leaving do, i thought my evening was better than what it could've been.

yesterday was pretty good too, despite some arguments and stuff. but my sister decided to be nice to me. she bought me the foundation i'd been waiting for for longer than 4 months i think. fuck man, poopie. she also bought me a nail varnish that she said she'll give me for christmas, which was very nice of her.

a couple of days ago i bought a sims expansion pack for only 75p, and it kind of encouraged me to play it again. for some reason, it kind of messed up yesterday, so it gave me a chance to uninstall it, and reinstall all the other expansion packs i bought years ago. it took me 2 hours or something silly like that to get them all on. and i spent about 1 hour on the game in total. that's great.
but i have a feeling i'll end up on there later.

i forgot what i was going to say, other websites are open in other tabs and i'm paying more attention to them.

anyways, going to make some cookies any minute now. luvley.

i'm guessing this daily blogging thing won't be as easy as i thought. i mean i'm only doing this now cause it's my day off and i have nothing else to do.

yesterday was pretty good.
my bus was late again, but i ended up getting to college on time. no one was waiting outside the classroom, so i figured everyone was inside, but only the teacher and another student was in.
we watched one flew over the cuckoo's nest, this was the third or fourth time i'd watched it. i think i enjoyed it the most this time, because i was fully attached to it, and i feel like i fully understood what everything actually meant this time. it's a fantastic piece of work.
we had a very short discussion after that because we were forced out of the room.

liv was late, so i decided to go along to the cinema and buy the tickets before we missed the film.

i was served by the guy who looked like seth rogen again, and when i asked for my tickets he said "student tickets, right?" then he said "have you got 2 student cards, i can't sell 2 tickets if you don't have 2 cards" then he said "normally i wouldn't let it happen, and i'd probably get wrong for doing it but i'll let you off this time"
what a nice duuuude.

i was so thirsty, i never bought a drink at college even though i insisted i would before i left the house because i had no time then. as soon as liv walked up to me i was like "GET ME A DRINK"

and she bought one from in the cinema, i felt bad about it cause they cost loads. the drinks at the cinema are the size of a bucket though, it's perfect, i'll love anyone forever if they buy me a bucket size drink :o

so yeah we saw "the kids are all right"
it generally looked like something i'd enjoy, plus the cast looked pretty reliable.
it wasn't as great as i was expecting. i felt like there was loads missed out of the story, and the ending was bad.

i don't really remember my day after that. i'd intended to watch a film since that morning, but the 2 i saw were enough. i think i had an early night, but it probably wasn't.

now today i have nothing much going, so maybe it's time i put a film on now.
my internet broke halfway through typing this, so i made a tray of rocky road biscuits, they'll probably be good to eat now, but i think i'll sort them out for after tea tonight. lovely.

also i still have my germany blog to finish cause i stumbled upon that before. honestly, i've forgotten most of the order now, i still have loads to write with that. oh dear. i hope it's this year i actually post it! i like how at the beginning of it i mention i'm going to complain to weatherspoons after i finish the blog, and i still haven't done that!

this is my favourite song right now, it's not like anything else i listen to i suppose, yet i don't see it as a 'guilty pleasure'. i just can't help but repeat it!

fashioning in plastic heads

today was a bit stressful to end up with, but overall pretty good.

i don't know what's up with my bus, but the past 2 days it's been late. i'm going to have to get up earlier tomorrow to catch an earlier one, which i'm not excited for.
well today i was expecting to be late, so i wasn't even as worried as i was the first times i was late.
i still ran to my class. i thought i was going to collapse, my lecture room is up 4 flights of stairs, not forgetting the flight you have to walk to enter the building.
i just don't like using the lift though.

i walked in my class late, the teacher didn't seem to notice so i didn't apologize.
i don't recall much specifically from then, i don't think i've ever been so tired or dizzy. it was stuff i can catch up on, so not all bad.
then we were set off to print off the career essay.
not only did i consume time by waiting for a computer since every single one in the building was taken, but when i eventually got a 15 minute log-in one, my word format wasn't accepted onto the computer, ended up going back to my room 10 minutes early empty handed.
someone in my class called darren was waiting by the room with his laptop, i'd never had a proper conversation with him before, but he ended up letting me use his laptop to get my essay to somehow work to prove i did something. his settings were in spanish, i just thought it was the most random thing ever, but i finally got it working. i had no time to print it off, so i sat with his computer through that lesson.
i felt sorry for the guy sam i had to work with. he was marking it, and everything had the squiggly lines underneath saying it was spelt wrong, and it was spelt right.
i guess that lesson i felt pretty confident about my work. i think that's the point of that class, it's weird feeling like my work is good. i know that when it comes to essay i always try my best.
i'm just really excited to read other peoples in my classes essays tomorrow cause it's the film review ones. i'm a lot more confident that that particular essay is better than my career one.

after college i met my sister at central station, and we went to the metro centre. boots staff got double discount today, so we intended to buy christmas presents, but i ended up getting nothing, basically.
my sister is obsessed with perfume, the full time out revolved around that basically.

i can't think of anything else that cool to point out.
i got post today, which i do enjoy. and i got a message from my teacher whilst i was typing this saying i don't need to be in til 1 tomorrow!

okay, i feel thoughts are important to my blog now because i really can't wait to see them next year and be like "YES I STILL THINK THAT"

so the past few days i've been listening to lagwagon a lot. i feel i got into them too late, and they basically have the sound of a band that i'd love. i feel like in the future i'll like them a lot.

my favourite song from one of the albums i bought when i was in germany.

okay i'm also going to mention, i'm such an awkward person to buy presents for. i thought about this cause i was asked to make a christmas list.
to me, this is the first sign of maturity. yet, i kind of feel like i'll always be a child or 'teenage'.
i thought i knew what i was typing, but i really don't remember. i'm so tired, but the idea of having a later start tomorrow kind of lets me have a later night.
