Day 280 - I'm still alive!

Well this is the biggest fail in the year since I skipped a weekend. I skipped a long weekend, but I did finish work and I wanted to full enjoy some days without doing anything at all. Not that anyone reads this, not like anyone was let down by me not posting anyway haha.

I can't remember if I even posted this but my last day went really well, everyone was nice and I got to leave early. Then I spent the weekend doing nothing, and I mean nothing, because I've had no god damn internet!

I'm back home right now seeing some family, and the internet haha. Decided to watch some It's Alwas Sunny in Philly, got shown it a few weeks ago and both me and Johnny loved it straight away, can't wait to watch some more tonight, fed up of watching the same shit on my laptop over and over.

I want to say that I'll start blogging properly again when I'm back home and I have a decent internet connection but it still could balls up knowing me. But we'll see, I'll try and keep in top of it.

Day 276 - One day to go.

Today was my second to last day at work, people have started to say bye and I've cleaned up my desk, I want to tell you it'll be emotional when I leave but I can't wait to get home and sleep for as long as I want, it's going to be awesome up until I remember I have no internet and I get bored of staying in the house all the time but it'll be awesome for the first few days at least.

Went to see Guardians of the Galaxy last night and it was awesome! Marvel really stepped it up for comic book films, they didn't go down the usual comic book movie path and made it a little more light hearted. Plenty of jokes, which some people think is a little lame but I thought it was great. A big break for Chris Pratt as well, he nailed it and I'm sure he'll be turning up in lots of other movies soon. If you've not seen it, go see it!

After the movie me and Johnny mooched over to Dan and Harry's house, first time I've been over to theirs and it's a nice house. We had some beers and listened to some music with them. Got pretty late by the time I got home and I thought t was going to be hell getting up in the morning but I was totally fine. 4 hours sleep and I did a full day without moaning, not bad!

Johnny has band tonight but I think when he is back we'll try fit in a few beers before we bed it, he leaves in the morning for Ireland. But then I get Terri back for the weekend and I'm going to finally try and make a curry. Should probably look into a little more before I buy anything, but everything should hopefully turn out fine.

Last day tomorrow, let's hope it's an easy last day!

Day 275 - Guardians Of The Galaxy tonight

Thought I'd get this post out the way early so I don't forget. I am super busy at work today, plus I'll be super busy tonight, so it is for the best that I remembered to blog during my lunch break, rather than at 11PM tonight when I realised that I'd forgotten to blog. So here we go.

I'm actually going to make use of the "schedule" tool on blogger and get it to post later on today, around 5/6PM is my usual post time*. It is a little annoying I have to use PST time and I can't use GMT though. 

*when I don't forget

Yeah, it has actually been pretty busy at work today, everything in general has died down though. At least one day a week everything seems to go wrong and I have to run around the entire campus to make sure everything is back on its feet, but it is nice to have something to do during the day. I just hope it doesn't keep me late, planning on leaving a little earlier tonight so I'm not late for the cinema.

Like I mentioned yesterday I'm meeting up with Johnny, Danny and Dan at the cinema to watch Guardians of the Galaxy, Johnny has seem it already and has said it's a great film. Really hoping we don't fall into the trap of getting a few drinks after we've seen it, really don't fancy waking up at 8AM with a hangover and then having a full days work. Me and Johnny were originally planning on going over to see Harry and Dan at their place to have some drinks, but we thought we'd be sensible and save it for the weekend...well hopefully we can keep to that anyway. I know me and Johnny, one word involving "town" or "drink" could throw us down the nasty but fun path of going out and getting stupidly drunk. Wish us luck tonight.

Two more days left in front of this computer. It is going to be strange when I have nothing to do during the week, hopefully I can find plenty to do. I say that, I know what I really need to do, and that is focus on my final year project, I have a stack of books waiting to be read. I'm sure I'll be able to get through them before the real work starts in September. Shit, that is next month... 

Day 274 - Slowly picking up classical guitar

So I didn't blog at work, it has been pretty busy and I did want to run off as soon as I could so I could be at home with a cuppa, that'll all change soon as this week is over. I'll still be drinking tea but I won't have to wait until 5pm to have one, which is an amazing thought right now.

Starting to have a pretty decent plan for the rest of this week as I slowly come back I to student mode. Tomorrow Johnny is back for a few days and we're meeting up with Danny and Dan to go to the cinema and watch Guardians of The Galaxy. I've only heard good things about it, not watched any trailers, don't think I want to be honest. Rather just get the full force of the movie. But straight after seeing that we're going over to Harry and Dans (this is another dan, we know a lot of dans) house, we're gonna have some drinks with them. Then the day after that Johnny will still be around, but it is his last day here before my last day at work, so we're going to celebrate a little and we may end up out, we may not, we shall see. Then on Friday Danny is coming over for the weekend and we're gonna playing some xbox, now I'm a free man! Plannnnnn.

Seen as though I'm a free man next week I'm heading home to see my Mum and my grandparents are coming up for a few days, it'll be nice to see them all again. It's been a while since I've last been home.

I have been picking up my guitar a lot recently and have been just jamming a few riffs I have come up with. Last night I thought I'd give it a go at recording a little solo video, I did and I'm pretty pleased with what I came up with, I don't think I'm going to post it anywhere though. I am slowly picking up these new techniques and I am really enjoying learning all these new shapes and styles.

Tomorrow is the 3 day marker before I finish. My mood is changing now I know that this year is slowly coming to an end. I say slowly, it's felt like 10 minutes since I started.

Day 273 - Internet-less

Today our internet went down. The landlord said it was going to happen soon because the last tenants didn't pay the bills, which is a shame for me because I'm in the house on my own with no internet. Luckily he said he will sort it out as soon as possible, which is good news.

So it's the first day of the final week in work. Weirdly I have been pretty busy today and expect it'll be be same tomorrow. Starting to come up with some plans for the next person who's taking over. Might write them a coded message explain to them how much of a boring year they're about to have. Maybe someone else will enjoy it more than me?

Seen as though it is my final week I'm planning something pretty special for the Thursday and Friday. Thursday is the last night Jonny is here for a good week or so until he moves in, so we're planning on getting pretty drunk on the Thursday, we may end up out, we might stay in and eat Burger Time. Then on the Friday I'm gonna get Danny round and we're gonna do it all again! Really looking forward to have them days to do nothing but be a student again. Then in no time Johnny will be back and we can go crazy all the time.

Going to start blogging at work for this week until my internet is back up, at least I'm going to try and remember to do it. 4 more days left!

Day 272 - Sleep. Please.

Ended up staying all night last and watched the first and second Matrix film. No idea but it was awesome to watch again after so long.

So now all day I've been stupidly tired because I was up all night. So now I'm getting to bed early with the office and hopefully I'll fall asleep soon.

Good night. Final week starts tomorrow!

Day 271 - Back on my own

Terri headed off this afternoon after a few days here, had both her and Johnny here  for a few days and it's been great. Still looking forward to the day Andy is here as well and we're all fully here.

Thought I'd have a slow day so I ran to the bus stop to make sure Terri didn't forget her bank card which took it out of me that's when I decided I'm doing nothing more this weekend. And that is what I did. I got in out the Simpsons and on and didn't stop until I got hungry, had some food an carried on.

Thought I'd change t up a bit now, sat downstairs and listening to some vinyls before I go watch some more tv, wow what a weekend haha

Day 270 - sleep time.

Keeping this short, might make up for it tomorrow but I don't normally do much blogging on the weekend.

Was dead tired again this morning and it messed me up for the day, ended up napping for 20 when I got in from work and then I had an epic sandwich and got in the bath.

Now I'm watching The Simpsons, golden era episodes though, none of the modern ones.

Need to decide what I'm doing tomorrow, probably be a boring day on my own like.

Day 269 - Meh

I know it's a bit of a fail but I don't fancy blogging today. Been a boring day and I'm just getting to fed up of doing the same shit everyday and then saying it all again when I have to blog. I think if I found out two things this year it's been, I don't want to work in IT and I can't/don't really want to blog. I know it sounds harsh and stupid saying this whilst blogging but at least I've given it a go and I will carry on until I've finished the full year up, as I will be doing my placement. But they are two things I will most probably not doing again.

I do still have just under 100 days to post for, but seen as though I only have one more week of work, hopefully the posts will start to pick up a little. Maybe them final weeks will help me enjoy blogging again like I did in the early days, but it's just so hard to keep on top of a daily blog and talk about the same crap you've posted about for the past five days.

When I write stuff out I like to at least thinks about a potential audience and what they might want to hear, and most of time I even bore myself with what I write, so no doubt anybody else reading through these posts would find it even more boring. But I guess that is what life is like for a placement student, doing the same shit each day just to make money, it's the exact life I do not want.

Day 268 - Not long now

It hit me today how little time I have left in my placement even though I've been constantly counting down the days to when I finish. But it's now 7 full days until I actually finish. It really does only feel like 10 minutes ago I was starting and feeling excited about trying something different, here I am now so thankful I made it through a very boring year.

Didn't blog at work, Terri came and met me outside work and we picked up some food because she is over for a few days. She'll actually be back in Huddersfield full time again very soon, she got accepted on her course which is great news. She's back in Huddersfield with a friend from first year who is coming back.

Keeping this one short, still super tired from the past few days. But tonight I am getting into bed early and getting lots of sleep ready for 2 more days of my second to last week. Hooray!

Day 267 - Today has be interesting with very little sleep

Had Dan and Harry come round and it was great, it only means I got very little sleep and had to be in work the next day.

This morning was very hard. This is been the one morning I have considering staying in bed that little bit too long, but I fought past all the pain and got ready for work. I have no idea why but I soon as I got outside I was just in a good mood enjoying the walk down. Barely anyone out and about, really clear day so you can see all of Huddersfield on my way down to town, and I just got a really nice feeling of being back in Huddersfield with everyone we know, and plenty of company. It's a great feeling.

Really I should be dead grumpy about having no sleep and being up early, but I got into work and the day has suddenly disappeared. Literally got an hour left of work and it feels like I've only been here an hour, honestly. That's all good, the sooner I get home, eat food and go to bed the better.

Was fun last night though, they came over about 6pm and we just spent the entire night just talking drinking beer and having music on. We got some epic stories as well about there travels to Amsterdam, which me and Johnny really want to visit soon. We're thinking of all going together, and that way we have someone in the group who has an idea of what they're doing. But I guess half of the fun is not knowing where you are and finding different places. I think we're going to pay the Netherlands a little visit next year when we all have some money and extra time from uni work.

Other than that I've been sat here thinking about the clock slowly ticking away. Think I'm meeting Johnny so I'm not walking on my own looking like a fool taking in the fine Huddersfield air, or at least I'll have someone to do the same thing with haha.

Day 266 - I did it!

I've finally remembered to blog at work. That means I can actually do a proper post rather that a crappy mobile one.

I say that, they're not actually that different, but anyway...me and Johnny tried to plan out the next few days, seen as though he is around for a while. We're thinking of maybe heading to the cinema this Wednesday to see How To Train A Dragon 2, not that I've seen the first one but I'll try check it out before Wednesday. The only thing I've heard from it, is that T.J. Miller is a voice actor in it somewhere, no idea who, but I do like T.J. Miller, so I'll keep my ear out for him.

Wasn't expecting it to be this warm today so I braved it and walked to work in the work clothes and it was the worst idea. Glad I did bring my shorts just in case. Don't know how I use to do it some days. Working up a massive hill in jeans and a shirt. I'm just waiting for the day until shorts become formal wear, that'll be the day.

Got some friends coming over tonight. Harry and Dan. They came over to visit a few times in Leeds and we had a night out together but we've not sat down together in ages and had a catch up. And now we live so close to each other we might as well, no doubt we'll end up on many nights out with them over the next year as well. Me and Johnny met Harry in our first year of uni, and he was good friends with Dan so we instantly all became good friends.

Ebayed some stuff over the weekend, and its finally come to post them. I'm a little nervous it's the first thing I've sold myself on eBay. Well I say that, Terri put it on for me and she packaged everything up for me. She is pretty damn good at it though. Made some money though, depending on how much postage will come to.

Well, I'm leaving a little early to get over to the post office and I want to clean the house up a little seen as though we have company tonight. Hopefully I'll remember again to blog at work, we'll see.

Day 265 - Another late one

Yeah it's another one. Pretty sure this weeks posts have been super late, well not super late. But you know.

Got up dead late today actually, me and Terri has a massive lie in and it was great, even ended up going back to bed for an hour after we had a giant bacon sandwich. Had to take a picture it was packed that beautifully with meat.

After I got up for the second time Johnny was up and we chilled a little and listened to some music. Ended up getting in touch with some friends that we've not seen in a while and they're coming round tomorrow for a catch up. That'll be a good laugh, not seen them for a while. Glad I randomly text them haha.

Anyway, I've made some late night food and I'm gonna watch some random crap until I fall sleep. 2 more weeks left of work!

Day 264 - I love sleep

Woke up dead early this morning but still felt good to still have at least an extra hour sleep haha.

Me and Terri picked up enchiladas after she finished work and they were pretty sweet, we stuck on Total Recall but ended up turning it off, it seemed a little OTT. Might check out the orginial at some point, just reminds me too much of Bladerunner which is actually an amazing film!

Keeping it short, Johnny is on his way home and I think he wants I get a takeaway when he gets in so I'm staying up for him like the good friend I am haha.

Day 263 - It's been a bad week for blogging

Yup, again. Don't think I've ever forgotten an entire week. Damn.

I'd love to tell you that it's been a crazy week and I've not had time, but honesty, I just keep forgetting. Maybe I'm getting old? Nah I'm just a lazy student who can never find time to do everything in one day. Which mainly is trying to fill my day with, doing nothing but calling it productive, eating, sleeping, playing games, seeing friends an drinking. Trying to fit that around a 9-5 job and a daily blog is difficult, let me tell you that.

Finally for round to watching I Love You Phillip Morris. Great film. It is a little "heavy" in places but I really enjoyed it. It's almost like a gay version of Wolf On Wall Street. With less drugs. I think me and Terri tomorrow are gonna give Total Recall a go, which is a bit of a change from the previous film haha.

Went back to a classic food tonight and went for a waffle pizza, sold a few things on eBay (a few t shirts...) so I thought I'd celebrate hahaha. Not been a big seller in the past but I think I might start selling stuff rather than throwing it. And I had so many clothes I needed to get rid of so I might as well of sold some.

Time for the weekend now, starting it with a bath and then I'm gonna watch some more tv til some stupid time in the morning I think. Yay.
