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.<div><br></div><div>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!</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-40716673911860428562014-08-14T09:27:00.001-07:002014-08-14T09:27:27.977-07:00Day 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.<div><br></div><div>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!</div><div><br></div><div>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!</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Last day tomorrow, let's hope it's an easy last day!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-52461078677694579422014-08-13T09:03:00.000-07:002014-08-13T09:03:00.481-07:00Day 275 - Guardians Of The Galaxy tonight<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">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. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">*when I don't forget</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">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... </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-16157286226022600142014-08-12T10:53:00.001-07:002014-08-13T06:00:55.834-07:00Day 274 - Slowly picking up classical guitarSo 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.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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.<br />
<br />
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.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
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.</div>

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.<div><br></div><div>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?</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-48488166423304983352014-08-10T14:34:00.001-07:002014-08-10T14:34:01.648-07:00Day 272 - Sleep.

Still looking forward to the day Andy is here as well and we're all fully here.<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-84296909372746960712014-08-08T15:36:00.001-07:002014-08-08T15:36:17.223-07:00Day 270 - sleep time.Keeping this short, might make up for it tomorrow but I don't normally do much blogging on the weekend.<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Now I'm watching The Simpsons, golden era episodes though, none of the modern ones.</div><div><br></div><div>Need to decide what I'm doing tomorrow, probably be a boring day on my own like.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-2261291380613034042014-08-07T15:28:00.001-07:002014-08-07T15:38:21.458-07:00Day 269 - MehI 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.<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-29123667445388066012014-08-06T13:41:00.001-07:002014-08-06T13:41:06.049-07:00Day 268 - Not long nowIt 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.<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-48804389218981927742014-08-05T06:50:00.000-07:002014-08-05T06:50:46.343-07:00Day 267 - Today has be interesting with very little sleep<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>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.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-13988877713687992012014-08-04T06:52:00.001-07:002014-08-04T06:52:13.694-07:00Day 266 - I did it!<i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've finally remembered to blog at work. That means I can actually do a proper post rather that a crappy mobile one.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">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.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-90789255984641288792014-08-03T15:18:00.001-07:002014-08-03T15:18:32.144-07:00Day 265 - Another late oneYeah it's another one. Pretty sure this weeks posts have been super late, well not super late. But you know.<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-52167430009462196372014-08-02T16:01:00.001-07:002014-08-02T16:01:21.584-07:00Day 264 - I love sleepWoke up dead early this morning but still felt good to still have at least an extra hour sleep haha.<div><br></div><div>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!</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-71885054694805612352014-08-01T14:22:00.001-07:002014-08-01T14:29:10.352-07:00Day 263 - It's been a bad week for blogging<i>Yup, again. Don't think I've ever forgotten an entire week. Damn.</i><div><i><br></i></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-61250660261119091852014-07-31T13:05:00.001-07:002014-07-31T13:05:43.837-07:00Day 262 - I'm a good blogger<i>Forgot again, surpirse surprise.</i><div><i><br></i></div><div>Terri had her interview this morning and she got up at the same time as me...well I say got up she was awake and layed in bed at the same time as me as I was up getting ready haha. Good to see I'm not the only one a little grumpy on a morning haha. Apparently the interview went really well though and she finds out in a few days, I've got my fingers crossed for her because she really want to get on this course and she's put a lot of work in to try for it. I'm sure she'll do fine.</div><div><br></div><div>I left work a little earlier so that's why I didn't blog, but it was a good call because I picked up some epic buscuits me and Johnny always destroy after work with a cuppa. I've probably mentioned them before but they're the cheapest biscuits but they're so good. Honestly next time you're in Tesco buy a pack of chocolate chip digestives for 80p, you will not regret it. I always pick up two packs to be safe haha.</div><div><br></div><div>Even though I did forget to blog at work I have found a little bit of quiet time to properly blog, I think haha. Even though I have been on my own most of time in the house when we have a full house it is really nice to have some time on your own, even though I am really looking forward to having everyone in the house soon and being able to chill together, it'll be a lot of fun. It did sort of hit me today the amount of work I am going to have to put in to get a good grade at the end though, I just need to stay positive and push myself as much as I can, as soon as this placement is over I am going to flood myself in books and academic studies. On top of that I have my other modules, but I think with the personal skills I have learnt this year they'll help a lot.</div><div><br></div><div>Cooking for Terri again tonight, that isn't a complaint because I love cooking for other people, even though it is only pastabake but I put my own twist on it. As much as a twist you can put on pastabake anyway. Next week I'm planning on making a curry for both Terri and Johnny, it's something I've never made before but, again with enough research and stuff I think I'll be okay. Going to try my best with making it from scratch.</div><div><br></div><div>It's looking like a weekend on my own again, so I think I'll come up with a list of films and blast through them. Still got so much to watch. I Love You Philip Morris, Total Recall and a few others I'll come up with on the spot haha. Come on Fridayyyyyyy.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-87449995197556188012014-07-30T15:15:00.001-07:002014-07-30T15:15:00.559-07:00Day 261 - Well, it's going wellWent and forgot again didn't i haha. Oh well I'm sure I can rustle up a few words before I go to bed.<div><br></div><div>Terri has got her interview tomorrow for a teacher training kind of course and she's been hard at work with her presentation. She's put the work in and I'm sure she'll nail it even though she's a little nervous.</div><div><br></div><div>Johnny returned to the house again today, he's back for a day or so, heading back home and then he'll be coming back again for a week. It'll be nice to have him back almost full time. It's a shame that I'm still working because we could enjoy it a little more, no doubt he'll have some work to do though as well. Plus we can get some practising in that week and get fully started on our new project.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, the later the posts get the shorter they'll become.

I'll get back on it tomorrow, I'm sure I will haha</i><div><i><br></i></div><div>Got another long ass sleep and just managed to catch up, finally. So today was much better, even though it probably wouldn't stop me from asleep at work.</div><div><br></div><div>I honestly bore myself just talkingn about it, so I best stop, even though I have nothing else to talk about haha.</div><div><br></div><div>Got Terri coming round after she finishes work and we're making bangers and mash which we haven't had in ages, so I'm a little excited for that haha. I have been on pasta for most of the weekend what with me being a student an all. That's one thing I do want to try and do though is cook some more crazy food, but the problem with that is finding crazy food that Terri will eat haha.</div><div><br></div><div>With Terri coming round we usually put a film on, and tonight we're going for the remake of Total Recall. I've not seen the orginial to be fair, but after Colin Farrells performance in Saving Mr Banks I can only hope for the best, I've heard a few good comments about it. Guess I'll give my opinion tomorrow, hopefully at the end of work when I remember to blog this time haha.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-59876133426406262242014-07-28T12:20:00.001-07:002014-07-28T12:20:38.475-07:00Day 259 - Tired Monday<i>Even though I had a ton of sleep I still felt tired this morning.</i><div><i><br></i></div><div>Got an insane amount of sleep last night but because I'm so behind on sleep I was still tired and almost fell asleep at work which never happens. So tonight I'm actually getting into bed really early and making sure I get caught up. </div><div><br></div><div>Started watching the Cannonball run and was really enjoying it but ended up falling asleep. Going to try finish it off tonight but I don't see it happening. I'm flagging now just writing this. Still managed to get an hour of practising some guitar though, trying to get at least an hour in a day so I can be fully practiced before we set off for a tour next year. It is like learning a new instrument, I thought a lot of things would cross over from electric but they really don't. Even so, I'm still having a lot of fun learning something new. Decided my next instrument will be piano, after listening to Tubular Bells I really want a large list of instruments I can play to a high standard. It'll be tough and expensive but it'll be worth it for sure.</div><div><br></div><div>Did a classic move and forgot to blog at work didn't I? So it's another classic phone post for Monday. I am coming to the end of this year though, can't actually believe I have managed it, there have been times that I've felt like it's a bit pointless and thought of stopping it, but I said I was going to do it for a year and here I am 200 odd days in, so I'll finish this. I definitely started it at the wrong time though, because all I do really is moan about work and how hungover I am on the weekends. I should of started in final year, even though nobody read these I feel I would have much more exciting things to talk about. Anyway, I'll have two months of final year posts before I finish up filled up me moaning about uni and how hungover I am all the time...</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-28024474008095294622014-07-27T14:23:00.001-07:002014-07-27T14:23:36.273-07:00Day 257/258 - Weekend post<i>Didn't really get time to post yesterday, me and Johnny sorted the house out and we ended up going out. Man I'm hungover and wasn't expecting it at all.</i><div><i><br></i></div><div>We had a load of left over stuff left over from the last people that had the house, so we decided to make some room and strt shifting it. The main thing was a big old tv, which is useless. But we didn't fancy breaking it because we'll probably end up getting charged for it.</div><div><br></div><div>After all the work was out the way we had a chill out for an hour or two and played some guitar. Started writing a few songs and started to think of some names to ca ourselves when we're out and about. We have an idea for an album cover which is pretty sick in my opinion but we have to wait until we're in Europe to do that. Don't want to give it away yet either, so we'll see if it happens.</div><div><br></div><div>We met up with some old housemates of ours from second year, we'd not seen them for at least a year so it was great to catch up, it was honestly like we never left, I think this year is going to be fun. We had a few drinks in a bar we use to always go to in first year, which then lead to another bar. Revs...terrible...terrible place. If you like your bars with overpriced drinks and scumbags that think they're classy then go for it, but it's not my place. But after that we went on a little adventure and found a bar that sold vodka and mixer for a quid, so we went crazy in there for a while, and headed back home. I didn't think I was that drunk until we got in, because it was 7am and I woke up at 10, still pretty drunk haha.</div><div><br></div><div>So yeah, been in bed pretty much all day playing games and watching shit. Gonna get in the bath and watch the Cannonball Run, I don't know why, I've just heard good things and fancy a comedy to watch.</div><div><br></div><div>Back to work tomorrow, three weeks to go.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-30238159782049152422014-07-25T11:05:00.001-07:002014-07-25T11:05:27.710-07:00Day 256 - I've missed FridayWell I woke up in a terrible mood this morning. Usually I'm just a little grumpy until about 9am and then I'm fine but today I was on a war path. Woke up, and slammed my head on the ceiling, guess that's what I get for being the tallest in the smallest room in the house. After that I was so under prepared for the morning, I usually like to have everything set up so I can pick up and go, but not today, it was a right battle trying to get everythingn sorted out. Which annoyed me even more.<div><br></div><div>Work was boring as, like always. I was sat in a boiling hot office all day, well is at all day, I finished all my work early and got out of there as soon as possible.</div><div><br></div><div>Here I am at home after a walk around the park near my house with Terri. We have pizza and the unlimited possibilities of the internet so we're all set haha. Going to try and pursade Terri to watch The Prestige. We watched Saving Mr. Banks last night, and to be honest I was expecting much from it at all but after I really enjoyed it, it was so well filmed and the actors into are great. Colin Farrell was truely amazing. I know it's totally different but I might give Total Recall a go next time I have some spare time.</div><div><br></div><div>Time to start the weekend, got some drinks to be had with some old friends and then it'll be jam time for me and Johnny.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-69825603682165667512014-07-24T07:29:00.000-07:002014-07-24T07:29:51.458-07:00Day 255 - That was a quick day<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Had plenty of work in today, which means the day has flown by and I soon look forward to going home, and cooking loads of foooooood.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Got Terri coming round tonight and I'm cooking her something up, can't remember if I mentioned it or not...I'm making smoked bacon and tomato spaghetti. I've never made anything like it before, so it could go either way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Johnny couldn't make it over to the house last night so I had my final night on my own, I honestly thought I'd be able to deal with being on my own in the house fine, but last night it hit me pretty hard. No idea why, just found myself a little down about the fact I was on my own in the house. But tonight is different because I have both Terri and Johnny round.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Got talking to some of my old housemates I lived with in 2nd year, we're planning a little drink together over the weekend which I'm really happy about. Pretty much not seen them for a year because we've all been on placement in different areas so it has been tough to stay in contact and see each other, but I have a feeling this final year is going to be different. We're all back in Huddersfield and freshers is only a few weeks away and I think we'll all be back together again going crazy like we use to in final year. Really looking forward to it, like I said before it was perfect having that year away from Huddersfield, it is almost as if I've moved back again starting a new.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Had my meeting today and it went totally fine, must of lasted about 20 minutes tops and they loved what I've done with everything. I have like one or two tweaks left and then it'll be fully signed off. Then I pretty much have one final task last to finish in three weeks then I'm all finished. Hoping to get it finished next week, then I can have an easy 2 weeks on my final days of my placement. I scared myself earlier because I thought I wouldn't get paid for August, turns out I am though. So I will be able to pay my rent, then the loan will be coming in haha. Although I'm planning on saving most of it for when I actually finish uni.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's Friday tomorrow, and I have no work for the weekend. I think we're planning on having a chill one rather than partying too much like we normally do. Plus side is no hangovers, hooray.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-86802816649484259662014-07-23T07:48:00.000-07:002014-07-23T07:48:05.149-07:00Day 254 - What the hell can I talk about?<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Seriously been the most boring day of my life. Working, and also waiting for work to finish...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Made my way into work early this morning, I had to take some photos of campus before everyone for graduation shows up. Which means I had to be on campus before 8AM, I'm sure you can guess the mood I was in walking around at that time. It would also be the one day that it's crappy weather in the morning. To be honest though, I prefer going around taking some photos rather than being sat in an office all day, at least it breaks my day up a little.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other than helping out with problems around the office I managed to find some time to pick out what I'm going to cook Terri on Thursday. I'm going for smokey bacon and tomato spaghetti. I've made either thing individually before, but never actually put them together. It also has the Terri seal of approval so I'm going to give it a go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Boring talk coming up. I recently re-modeled the website for the uni, and they really liked what I did. So much in fact they wanted me to present it to the head of Estates, which I did last week. But now the head of Estates wants me to show it people even higher up, tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about it, but I always get a little nervous for these kind of things and it ends up going fine. I'm hoping it is only a quick one though, I have a shed load of other stuff I really need to be doing. I'm hoping in final year their are a few more presentation type tasks, because I do really enjoy giving them now, that is one thing I've always been pretty good at, but this year has taught me a lot about it so hopefully I've improved with some industry work...using that term lightly though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other than that it is going to have to be a short one. Maybe tomorrow I'll do more exciting things, or not...</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-72889309809300344542014-07-22T07:43:00.001-07:002014-07-22T07:43:50.719-07:00253 - Everything hurts<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>I still have a total surplus (I think I'm using this word right?) of injuries right now, everything from a bad back to gammy fingers...all my own fault of course</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's happening again, I'm finding it harder to get up, even though I practically live 20 minutes away from where I work I just can't fathom the reason why I get so lazy on a morning. I always find as well that my bed is just so much more comfy when I know I have to get up, but on a weekend if I wake up at 7 I can do it easily. All will be well in three and a half weeks when this placement is all over. I honestly don't know how people can have the same job for years and years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The one thing that is getting me through today is that I know I have cheese at home, and a selection of films I need to watch. So it'll be a grilled cheese sandwich or two with a new film. And then of course I have my book to finish, I really need to finish it soon so I can start on my books for my final year project, I just want to be picking bits from them, I want to know them inside out before I start writing this final year report down. I think I've made the right chose in doing a reason based project, because I know what my final product is, I don't have to further research into that, I can just crack on with my essay when I need to...which will be all the time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The worst thing about working in a office is when it's sunny. It gets far to warm, and I have my computer next to a window, so I can see everyone outside enjoying the nice weather, but I'm inside, coding HTML. Not long now, which I keep telling myself over and over.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Johnny is back round tomorrow, which is great news. Slowly been going insane with the notice that nobody is at home when I get there, it shouldn't be for much longer though, but I've always found myself missing human interaction a little bit, well maybe not human interaction just interaction with friends. I got so use to having someone at home when I was in Leeds, and then we could just chill, talk about the day. Was usually just us moaning about how much we hate work/trains/rude people/how experience everything is and so on. The list would never end, but we always had some great laughs, and it is strange to now have that. But like I've been saying, it won't be for much longer. Johnny is back for the weekend, I have Terri over on Thursday and before I know it we'll all be in the house full time with a shed load of uni work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We're thinking of coming up with a checklist of goals we need to achieve this year so we don't miss out on the full uni experience, I mean don't get me wrong we have some stories already, but I think we have more than enough room for a few more for our uni days. Then it'll be the European tour stories!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05570665537365917002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026989039394381288.post-75187023651930916992014-07-21T08:01:00.002-07:002014-07-21T08:01:52.113-07:00Day 252 - Terri's Graduation<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>It was Terri's graduation today, she was a little but got through it. Very proud!</i></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been the usual boring day at work so it was nice to have a change to go see Terri before she graduated. It was great to see her all dressed up in the robes and hat. Good thing I wear a shirt to work or I'd of looked a right fool in a black top in front of all these formal looking folk haha.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She was a little nervous but I think it's pretty normal for someone to be like that. I met up with Jack who sings in my band and even he was nervous about it all.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm kind of looking forward to mine and having my family come down and see me graduate. Seen as though I'd be the first in my family to do so, but I have another year before that happens, hopefully I can manage this year and graduate.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, here is a photo from today that Terri's friend took. I do rather like it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I actually took another little break to carry on reading On The Road, I just find myself wanting to know what happens next on this crazy journey, I'm only 3 chapters in and the craziness hasn't begun yet but I know lots of things are brewing from what I've been told.</span></div>
