Hellooo everybody! Well, it's Wednesday already is it? Oh my god - time is going sooooo quickly at the moment? I was particulally annoyed when I got home from having my hair cut (see pic) to find that there was a time of 14:30 being displayed by the DECT phone in the hall. Concerning, because the appointment was at 12:45.



I had a pannick and looked around for another clock, discovering the one on my phone to discover it was in fact 13:30. All good. But it made me realise how important time is to me at the moment!

So, because I haven't got much time, here's a rough, speedy, round up of the week's events so far:

- Monday was uneventful particulally because I woke up feeling like cack and didn't go to college. Waking up at 8 o'clock, I hadn't really given myself much choice either.

- Tuesday I got up, went to college and had lots of the funs. Mike put suggar in my hair, a sin for which i will kill him, and he told me I was wrong and he'd told me he couldn't go to Laura's party on Saturday because he had to go to a Cricket meeting. I say he said Rugby. I just looked, and I'm not saying - but I think I got it wrong :$

However, he has developed a skill I am familiar with:

[16:34:01] [:D]BuZbY[(6: ive perfected being asleep on the inside but awake on the outside

Saddler?

Tuesday also brought me some fear. Because I have a feeling that Andy Morton (English teacher) may have found my blog. He mentioned that some of us in the room "may be web designers, with a blog" - so urm, ye. If you did mean that, then Ye - I picked up on the hint!

Another classic quote is that someone told me they "sail" the Internet, rather than surf. That's gotta be a classic.

I'm going to have to add a section to post a quote of the day I think.

So onto today, Wednesday.

Today, I walked down to the bus stop and found there were no buses. I realised, thanks to a woman walking past, that the stop had been closed. Without any warning, obviously. So I walked up to the next one, to mis the 49 by about 15 seconds. I hate you TWM.

I did, however, catch the next 49 and didn't arrive that late to college. We talked about text messaging and checked our personal texting idiolect, in English, so that was allll good. I also mentioned the advert from the same people behind the horrible stuff coming out of veins ad, which I personally thought was really good. You can see ithere. It's a powerful ad.

However, on the bus I did a sneaky thing and listened into a conversation that two old men were having. They were talking about freeview. Now that's something that I've been interested in forever. Which is a little sad I know, but heh. They were, particulally, talking about the common problem with old people. And the conversation went a little bit like this:

OLD MAN 1: "I was looking around on that freeview thing last night. ITV3 and 4, and there's nothing new. It's all old stuff. Repeats.!"
OLD MAN 2: "I know. And if you wait another day you can watch it on normal television anyway. Why do we need more4 to watch programs before?"
OLD MAN 1: "I dunno. TV's been fine with 4 channels up until now so why do they need to change it?"
OLD MAN 2: "Well, the picture's much better i suppose, and you can see more - there' some more at the edges of the picture as well. And I love that interactive - I've been watching it for the Ashes on the BBC."
OLD MAN 1 LOOKS BEMUSED.
OLD MAN 2: "That's what annoys me. Sky buying all the rights to everything and not letting anyone else have it. I don't like sky at all..." OLD MEN GET UP AND WALK OFF BUS.

That conversation interested me because it wasn't what you expected! How very rare. I don't plan on making a habbit of listenin to old people though.

So, I think that's it. Off to do the ironing to the background sounds of Radio 1. I would quite like it, by the way, if anyone has copies of the live lounge on tour tracks by Lilly Allen that they get in touch: pop me a message on myspace or on MSN if you feel the divine need.

and before I go, some news for the telecoms communication geek (ok, just me) here:

In true Nic traddtion, I started this blog with thinking - "Shall I go and get a coffee?". The answer was yes.



Indeed, you may be shocked to see me blogging properly on a Thursday. Well, you're getting this week's...

... episode in two parts. Mainly because today is the only night apart from Monday when I'm not working. And on Mondays, nothing's happened - and I've just been to the gym!

But enough with the boring stuff - I'm having a down time in between getting back from college and returning once more. Aha - most of you would call this the time when you sleep, but not me. Because yes, I am going to college again BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

Aren't I good heh?

Nah, this is just a quick blog to basically tell you that my feet hurt. And that I need to get some more comfortable shoes.

Saturday night I'm off into Bromsgrove for a Chinese with Max & Josie. And not with Mike. Cus he wouldn't come. He's saving money or some shit.

Anyhow, to entertain you - a few quotes from this week. All, infact, from English.

Oliver, my sitting-next-to-person, was talking about the Metro because it had an interesting cover on Tuesday. It was basically a white paper with a search box in the middle advertising Windows Live Search.





It got us into a conversation about whether we keep our copy - I personally do. I never get chance to read it, and it's worth giving a second glance when you're sitting on the loo or doing something not so interesting. Plus, it gives the family something to read for free.





However, I digress. Oliver started a sentence with: "I was in this old person's house, and they had two copies of the same edition." Isn't it just something that is comical about that sentence?

And again from English, Dr Death made a nice speech. Looking confused and stoned as always, he was asked - "Are there any workshops tomorrow for us?"

His answer, succinct as ever was: "Yes, if you want to come it's upper sixth english literature." And he wasn't saying it as a joke. Bare in mind the fact we're lower-sixth, English Language students...and you'll get the point.

I guess you have to meet him.

Oh, and because I never forget. I have to mention Max's drunken antics. Last Sat he had Mike at his house. They drank vodka (although with Red Bull because Mike doesn't like it straight ;)) and Max was still drunk the next morning when they were playing rugby. Mike, however, was sober.

So there ya go Max, you haven't escaped :P

Now, back to college. I'm exhausted! I did a 14 hour day on Tuesday :P
