College Dropout?

Well I was thinking today how I receive information at college and how cynical I can be. How instead of trying to listen, a lot of the time I sit on my laptop talking to people telling them how bored I am. I think this is purely due to the fact that I don’t listen most the time. I am finding that my essay grades are fine so I am not motivating myself to do better than that. The sad fact is that if I actually tried it could not just be fine but great....is this the norm? In twenty years time looking back am I going to be saying yeah I tried but I could have done better? I bloody hope not! Sorry everyone I realise this is a bit melodramatic.
I have just been thinking a lot about everyone else and how there motivation inspires me lately. My uni class are amazing; if you’re reading this you truly are great. I don't actually think id be this far along if it wasn't for their support so shout out to you!

(Bit random but blogs are for head diarrhoea aren’t they?)

Snowboarding Lessons....

Well as a result of speaking to my friend last night who is an avid snowboarder, she has persuaded me to go boarding later this year. There is but one problem.....I cant Snowboard! So I am going to be taking lessons. There lies another problem the only place I can find is in Milton Keynes....which isn’t exactly on my doorstep and being as a group lesson for an hour is £30 and then paying for the train it mounts up a lot. I could pay about £200 to learn in a day....freaking eh why is snowboarding so expensive lol. Not really a student sport. Oh well when i have learned ill be able to get right onto the snow and impress my friends who think I have no balance! I do think it will be awesome ive been skiing before but ive never been snowboarding so im sure it will be an amazing experience, which ill enjoy i just hope i dont end up injuring myself.....

A Collision with confusion on the subject: Men

And Men well Men confusing little tykes! Men, if you don’t have a girlfriend do something nice for a friend in your life, buy her some flowers.…I was reading my friend Sarah’s blog and she summed it up “Where have all the good men gone?”. Where? I mean if there are any good ones left please show yourself back into society....come out and open a door for me or let me get on the train first before you push me halfway back onto the platform. Dare I say treat me like a lady. I have to admit I do live in Romford which isn’t the best area to search for gentlemen believe me. But anyhow after my little rant....I’m off. Have a great week.

An Expensive Ticket & a Poetry Cafe

Friday night Splem and I were discussing the Foo Fighters Concert and whether to buy the Average tickets or the amazing gold circle tickets...well as you can probably guess we chose the decent gold area ones! Oh the excitement. They were so expensive but we both have nice families who give nice birthday presents... (Thank you to my nice sister Sarah). Anyways its on the 17th June and i cant wait...Queens of the Stone Age and Motorhead (I think) are the supporting acts so you know its gonna be brilliant. Woo Foo Fighters here I come.

Last night for the first time I went to a poetry cafe which was an experience. It was completely different to what I was expecting. I expected it to be a smoked filled dive. I was pleasantly surprised to find in fact it was quaint and lovely. Also the poets were amazing talented people who kept me engaged the whole time.

A Trip to Centre Parks and a near Broken nose

Hello well.....I told you there would be intrigue and suspense and I keep my promise's. I have to start with the fact that i went to centre parks this weekend and it was so much fun. There were a number of events that happened with a lot of them being accidents and I’m afraid to say involved me!

One of the nice things that was discovered was Taba's (taba is in my class at uni) fiancée Chris, who is amazing. Ahh he was so funny and put a whole new meaning to the phrase high five. Also the girls put their massaging skills to the test, I say girls because the boys really didn’t have a clue, although Splem and Telf (also from uni) had no problem with receiving them. I did so many face and head massages and I think I even gave a foot and hand one too.....hard life for the boys eh.

Oh the intrigue....Well lets start from the beginning, first I’m relaxing and having a glass of wine only to spill poor Splem's red wine all down his tee shirt, but i then go on to spill his wine about another three times! After that i go swimming, we are all going down the rapids and I feel someone trying to grab my foot, so my initial reaction is push away only unfortunately I push my foot full pelt into his face and nearly knock him out whilst nearly breaking his nose and bursting two blood vessels in his eye....Not a good start, to a friendship. But nether the less he found it quite amusing, fortunately for me.

I also hit Telf with a mini golf club when swinging for the ball....not too pretty, no one was hurt really though, so that was fortunate. He even managed to film it, so real life comedy on tape.

All in all it was a great weekend with us all cooking and cleaning. We went kayaking on the lake together, some got wetter than others and after that we worshipped God together. Most of all we got to know each other better and that was amazing. I feel like God really did work in all of us that weekend.

And Dave (who is also Splem for people who dont know), if you're reading this.....opps hope you nose feels better soon....it’s kind of like a whole public apology.
