Fifth edition of the 'How was your day?' thread.
Haha Abi, I can't ring up and do that.. I'd feel cheeky lol. But apparently they have more vacancies at Christmas so I'll try then.. in the mean time, I'm jsut printing off millions of cvs and putting them in every shop possible! Someone must want me! :(
Why not?! If you know full well that they have a vacancy, you might as well try and get it!! Worth a try.Quote:

Been a fairly laid back day. i live with two girls down south for uni, and my best friend (one of the girls) has had to go back to London for a couple of days so i've been kind of bored, all the other girl does is sleeps. she got in at midnight last night and went to bed, she got up at 10 for a nutella sandwhich (i swear she's obsessed with the stuff!) then went back to bed, she's still asleep now!
all i've done is baked some chocolate brownies! i followed the recipe but they've come out the ozen and the bottom bit is all gooey, i know brownies are meant to be to a degree but this is practically liquid! bit disapointed with that! i might mush it all together and put it in the freezer! haha :lol:
had my first day of work at the student union shop yday, was so busy as all the freshers students (2000+) were milling around for the student fair so all were coming in to buy things, was rushed off my feet but i suppose that is the best way to learn! i alone sold about £750 pounds worth of stuff in 4 hours, thats mainly due to the uni hoodies costing £21 each, and everyone was coming in to buy them!
Even if you don't do it Kirsty, then as you say, Xmas is coming = vacancies!

I'm getting ready to leave Manchester. Not for good as I'd planned, though, there's too much here now...
A young blind lad got on the bus today while his mam stood there to see him off. he asked the bus driver to tell him when he was at the right stop then rang his mam about two minutes later crying to say he was alright :( he must have only been about 14 or something. I actually had a tear in my eye, it totally makes you realise how lucky you are. I moan about petty things all the time but can't even imagine what it must be like to be in a situation like that. Most of us don't even know we're born.
Omg! That's really sad! There's me moaning baout not having a job.. I should be lucky! I feel bad now :( I was going to rant about how I thoguht my days been rubbish but I'm not going to bother now because worse stuff could happen so actually, my days been very good :)Quote:

I need to start looking for a job soon. I printed off a load of cvs just need to get around to giving them to shops. :)
moved back down to uni today. i have way too much crap lol! :rolleyes: almost finished unpacking and tidying my room, didnt have time to finish it though cos i sat around talking instead! and im so tired for some reason!
It's not giving CV's in I have a problem with (for now) It's actually printing them out... I ahve no ink so can't print any out lol. I'll have to sneakily print some out in school tomorrow! :D
Changed my internet provider and landline phone to a new contractor who has now cut me off my phone and I have no internet as they are unable to provide me with the hardware I need to make phone calls and use the computer. :angry: No idea when they are able to come up with the goods. Unfortunately, I have to wait two years before I can change to a better provider. :crying: Looking after my friend's dog Buster again until Monday, means lots of fresh air and exercise :D but landlady not impressed and will not allow me to take him in again in future. :(
I am all settled into the new house, only got the internet up and running yesterday. I am moving out if the others keep behaving the way they are doing. They won't stop bickering with each other! Its driving me crazy and its a huge change for me so it is taking a while for me to settle. I have come from a full time job for three months early rise early to bed whoch i love to late nights and early mornings and i think my body is finding it hard to adjust.
Todays job is full on blitz of my room, it is a complete state.
Hope everyones moves and things went well and everyone enjoyed summer. I think i have had withdrawels from this site.
:cheer: Kasple you changed colour!!! :D Well done
Sorry if Im a bit late, Ive been really busy with college, keep getting loads of 30 mark essays to do and its really complicated :(
I still havent caught up on my sleep after the dance show which was now a week ago :(
had a great day today. got up early to get my bus pass as its half price if you buy it this week. then i was up at the freshers fair all day trying to persuade people to join cheerleading. it was a bit boring at times, but i managed to persuade loads of people, even some guys after flirting with them for a bit but i dont think theyre gonna come lol! and some boxers signed up in exchange for me signing up to boxing haha thats never gonna happen! and i saw one of my friends up there who was working giving out flyers for something and he was useless so i offered to help him and got rid of my lot really quickly so i asked his boss if i could have his job instead lol! so good day and im going to my housemates 21st bday party this evening and shes having an open bar! :D
i never noticed that seeing as the pinks look sort of the same lol! congrats stars :)Quote:

Ughhhh such a crap day! I've had enough. Mainly of my friends! I'm forever putting things aside to help them and then it jsut gets thrown back in my face!!
All my friends have gone to one of our other friends house tonight and he gave everyone a lift to his but I asked and it was "no, I haven't got enough petrol"... I wouldn't mind if I never gave him money or got my Granch to give them all lifts because they're all wrecked out of their skulls with no way to get home... but I DO! That's what really annoys me about it, he'll happily give the poeple lifts who give him buggar all but oh no, I can't have a lift. So now I can't even go because I have no way of getting home or anything. Hmm nice friends. I'm just sick of it. I'd be much happier with no friends at all lately I think! I really really do. :(:(:(
just got back from my housemates party, it was ok but everyone seemed to just be standing around being boring, hardly anyone was dancing! it was quite fun when people decided to dance. but the annoying thing was i had to get other people to get my drinks as i forgot my id and they were iding everyone! :rolleyes: :angry: but yeh it was ok, dunno why people were being so boring today when theyre not usually! oh and my feet hurt! i walked home with no shoes on!
Never play football after a night out. Its not good, i though i was going to be sick mid sit up! not good!
I am recovering from freshers week this weekend so i am all ready for evidence lectures at 9 am on monday morning.
I start uni tomorrow. I'm packed and everything now, but a mix of terrified and excited right now. I found three people in my flat on facebook, and they all seem nice which is good. One of them only lives about 10 minutes from me.
good luck abi, im sure youll have a great time :)Quote:

Meant to have done 2 pages of notes on my personal study and haven't done it at all. So going to have to do it after i've went swimming and after my dad's taken me out to show me how to use the clutch on a car. But i'm not getting anymore detentions off of her althrough i didn't go to the last one and she hasn't said anything about it lol.
There was a nice note on my car this evening that told me that someone backed into my car. Nice of them. :D Not so nice of the person who drove off, but the numberplate and make of car is helpfully on the note, so, if there is any damage (it was too dark to see) I'll be able to track them down (well the police will lol) and make them pay up.
I've got to do so much homework tomorrow. :( I have been set work in all my subjects...lol!
I found a good website for jobsearching earlier. It's: http://www.student-jobs.co.uk/index.aspx I'm hoping to apply (need to find references first lol) for a job a rugby stadium doing waitressing/bar work/stewarding. It's 5 mins away from my college lol so it's handy..
Aww wow that link is really good! Thanks :)
Had sucha boring day, this weekend has been pants!
Well todays not been that bad, my sister was down for the day so I've spent alot of my day with her which has been nice :)
I really need to get myself into school work mode thoguh!
Today hasn't been my day till like half an hour ago. Me and my dad were in my mums convertible and he misjudged a corner and the car went straight or an embankment which then cause it to roll down but thank god the roof was don and we are both fine, i'm just in shock and have a sore hand due to it being cut but the car is worse just so glad we both got out of it fine. I feel so guilty through cause it was me that wanted to go out. :(
Went for my first driving lesson (well if you could call it that) and learned how to work the clutch it was weird the sterring wheel is strange to.
It was a close call, when are coach said do the same dribbling exercise followed by ten sit ups i thought there would be sick, not pleasant.Quote:

I went to my friend's birthday party today. She's 17 tomorrow so she thought she'd have the party today as she's taking hefty subjects. Further Maths (as she did A Level Maths in Year 10) Physics, Chemistry and Music. My mum had to drive me to my other friend's house so that my friend's dad could pick me up (coming all the way down to mine was too far out of the way as we had to have pizza before we went to the cinema.) Mum offered to take me and I don't really trust her driving as she hadn't driven since I was like 7 before May time, but because of the buses on Sunday I didn't really have a choice. I really thought she was going to crash the car.
We saw 'The Women' at the cinema which turned out to be a really good film. I have to buy it on DVD when it comes out. There's a birth scene in it which was the most unrealistic thing ever, it sounded like the screaming was coming from a voiceover and not the woman. It's so funny throughout.
Also went for a pizza but we had booked tickets for the film so we had to rush. We all ran out leaving half a pizza on the plates and leaving my friend's parents to sort out doggy bags.. I don't eat cold pizza so my parents had mine. It annoyed me that they were all discussing driving lessons when they only live like a 5 minute walk from the rest of their friends. One of them has started going off home in frees because she can't concentrate with the number of people messing around in them. I can't either and she goes off and leaves me. I had to redo an essay today that I messed up in the free because I couldn't concentrate. I don't know when I'm going to get time to do Business coursework now, I've got revision to do for Friday.
Christ just found out someone from my old year in school died today in a motorbike accident, i didnt really know him too well but still..quite shocking :(
:eek: They are when it's someone you knew but didn't really know if that makes sense. I spoke to this girl once or twice that died from a brain haemorrhage when she was 16 just over 2 years ago.
Motorbikes are dangerous things to ride. :S
The one day I sit down to do homework is the day everything happens :lol:
The lodger upstairs fell in the bathroom and hit her head and it needed stitches , my dad had to go somewher and my mum was in her dressing gown lol so I drove to A&E and waited with her. Took about 4 hours in total which I don't think is too bad for a Sunday. The amount of people in there who looked like they'd been in a fight was astonishing lol!
Then got home, started to do work, then the Brazilian woman arrived. Did a bit more then it was supper which when we have guests round always seems to take 2 hours plus instead of half an hour lol and then transferred photos for her, took me ages because the CD's kept being funny.
My history teacher will just have to cope with the fact my homework isn't quite finished. Too tired tonight lol.
