End of College

Still on hiatus but…

I thought I’d blog seeing as today was my last day of college *cries* It’s been an amazing two years and I’m really going to miss everybody, hopefully I’ll be able to keep in touch with the best people though ;) For some reason I find it really difficult to keep in touch with people I don’t see/don’t see very often, even with MSN and email and stuff. Ugh. I don’t know, I think it might partly because I tend to think, well they know my site address and my contact info., they can easily contact me if they want. That works both ways though I know…I think I’m going to try and get into the habit of physically writing letters regularly, it’s always fun to get post :P Depending on where the nearest postbox is to me when I move to Nottingham *fingers crossed* of course :)

Okay, so what’s been happening with me? Here’s a summary of last week:
Monday: Went round to Em’s with Tom
Tuesday: Em took me to dance aerobics
Wednesday: Driving lesson and babysitting
Thursday: Babysitting
Friday: Tom and Em came round
Saturday: Babysat and went to the girl-next-door’s party (aww so cute, she was 1)
Sunday: Went shopping with Tom and Em.
Since I had college every day as well, it was pretty tiring.

It began to catch up on me on Monday, when I got really stressed out from exams and stuff, and I was just generally tired I think. My driving lesson didn’t help this week either; I had really had enough of the idiot, so I’ve got a new instructor called Mark. I’ll be really pissed off if he’s an idiot too because I really like the name Mark and I don’t want him to ruin it for me lol.

Oooh, but good stuff! I won an auction on ebay for a green ipod mini, I can’t wait for that to arrive! As I’ve said to people who’ve asked me before, I don’t listen to music walking down the street, or when I’m with my friends (I think it’s really rude and I hate it when people do it to me), and I cant work and listen to music at the same time, which are the reasons why I didn’t get one before. But seeing as I’m going to university, I thought it’d come in useful since I don’t want to lug my CD player there and it + CDs would take up a lot of space…

Oh, and also, yesterday I went shopping with Em totally by chance and found out that Sophie Kinsella is going to be at a local bookshop to launch ‘The Undomestic Goddess’!!! (She’s the author of the amazing ‘Shopaholic’ series by the way). Not only is she signing, but she’s also chatting, you can get discount off the book, food and drink, AND it’s the only one she’s doing in the country :) She’s going to be 8 and a half months pregnant though too lol. I’m soooo excited :)

So anyway, back to today. First lesson (War Literature) involved the teacher setting up ‘trenches’ in the room using chairs, and playing war games on the Internet in our ‘battalions’ haha. Unfortunately, we found out we’d be no good in a real war. Although the game was made so that Misson 4 couldn’t be completed, which is really annoying. Grrr :grr: Then we gave the English teachers this small notebook we made covering the past year with quotes and stuff, which was highly amusing (they thought so too) :P Then I had Geography, and I made the teacher bring in his guitar and play for us. He played a random mix of Kelly Osbourne, Shania Twain, Oasis, Green Day etc. which was sweet and also amusing :P Then History, we got our mock exam papers back, and I did pretty well so I’m happy about that :) We also bought the teacher a book (between the three of us) on the period of history he likes the most, and that seemed to go down quite well. Then I had a 50 minute break, and then my last lesson of college ever which was Language :(

One of the worst things about leaving college is that it’s a big reminder that exams are not far off. My first one is on Wednesday, but it’s only Key Skills I.T so nothing much to revise for really, especially since it’s done on the computer with a certain number of pre-created files :P

So yep, that’s the past two weeks ;) All comments from the last entry will be returned over the next couple of days, as well ones from this entry if I get the chance :P

    Wow, your college is OVER! I know what you mean. It’s really hard to keep in touch. I have that problem… and that resulted in my losing friends from when I lived in Korea, alabama, and 2 places from Virginia =(

    *ish jelous* I really want an iPod…but I’ve got my MP3 Player which gets on 60 or so songs on & I don’t really need any more songs! I have trouble of filling it up with 60 even though I have like 600songs on my computer…Okay so I’m wondering off the point.

    Argh! I only have a year left of school, I’m going to miss everyone so much. But then again, I’m hoping to go onto sixth form – so thats three years. Bet you can’t wait until you go to University! I know I can’t (if I get there *crosses fingers*)

    Good luck with your exam on Wed!

    Aww I miss your crazy blogs, there tres amusant!

  18. Loze says:

  20. Xiu says:

    Wow, it was your last day of college! That’s great that you won that auction =). My brother recently got a silver ipod mini and has been obsessing over it ever since. I think it’s become his new pet. That’s cool about Sohpie Kinsella; I’ve never read her books but I hear they’re good. Aaanyways, good luck with your exams =).

  21. Milly says:

    hey that’s so cool about the Ipod! I have one of the big ones and I love it!:love: I was also wondering, when would you be able to set up the advertising?

  22. Good to ‘see’ you again Jenni:D

    I am kinda in a hurry, so this will be short.

    Sorry about it being your last day at college:sick: I hate parting with people and places I’ve known for a long time, such as schools and similar. I have three more weeks left at my school now, never to go there again, which is both a relief and a nightmare:hmm:

    Good luck on your exams, may the grace of the Valar be with you:love:

  23. Jane says:

    I know it is hard to part with some where but I am sure you will move on and enjoy yourself just s much. Hope you do well in your test! I’ll keep this short because I have hundreds of pages to do on my site!
