How Was Your Day? High Five

[di marco]

on saturday i went shopping in canterbury with my sis, didnt buy much just a new denim skirt and a pair of boots which were only £9 cos the shop was having a clearout! and i got 20% off my skirt cos new look are doing 20% off for students atm! then went home and on the way back we had to go to pet city and its in the same business park as toys r us so i persuaded my dad to go in there and they had wii fits so we got one!

sunday i didnt do much, just played on the wii fit really, same with monday. it snowed all of both days and ive never seen so much snow! took my cat out in the garden cos she wanted to go out but then she realised it was cold and ran back in!

tuesday i had to go to a funeral

yesterday i came back down to uni. i had a lesson at 10am and cos id missed tuesdays lesson i thought i better go so i rushed back down really early and to get there to find that the lecturer wasnt coming in!

today ive got some work to do but thats it, might finish tidying my room

I really can't wait to get some money, so that I can start my driving lessons again. I'm hoping I haven't forgotten everything. If I haven't should only take a few lessons before I pass.

hopefully you wont have forgotten it all i really need to start driving lessons, but i dont have the money and canterburys awful to learn in apparently

Checked my track and had another unsuccessful, thios time from Bangor

I really don't think I'll be going to Uni this year, I need to get my head around what I'm going to do if I don't get in.

Don't worry if you don't get any offers. You can go through Extra for courses as soon as it opens. If you don't get any offers from Extra you can go through Clearing in August. Usually in August the requirements are much lower than what the university want because they need to fill places on the course.

like abigail said, theres other options if you dont get any offers. also you can always reapply again next year, thats what my sis is doing and then youll also have chance to get a job and do some more work experience so youll have more moeny and a better chance next time. good luck with the rest of your offers how many more have you got to hear from?

I dont like being home alone at night, its just too werid and way to quiet!!!

it was alright as i was only on my own for a bit before my housemates came back they had been at home.

i always find it weird being in the house alone, its always so quiet. especially in my uni house when no one else is there as at home even if my parents arent there my sis is. although i get so much more done when im here by myself!

Went out today to this huge park. The roads were shut in it so no cars were there. It took and an hour and a half to walk there! A friend had two plastic sleds we filled up with snowballs. Although when we got there the people we were meant to meet up had gone home! And we only had one missed call from them they could've left a voicemail at least. We were freezing so went to a pub, had some chips and hot drinks and went back with a couple of other people to sled down some hills which was quite fun. And made snow angels. Ah to be a kid again.

sounds like you had fun! me and my sis got a sledge for xmas one year ages ago but never got to use it cos there was never enough snow dunno where it is now otherwise we could have used it on monday! i swear the snow turns everyone into big kids!

On the upside, I might have found a place to live next year. It's kinda like where I am now but it's privately owned and to a much higher standard. All ensuite, bigger bedrooms, separate common room, comfy seating area in the kitchen and plaster on the walls. Plus it's cheaper than what I'm paying now. Lots of people are moving there because the standard of housing around here is appalling. I need to ring up about it tomorrow.

that house sounds nice sounds a bit like the house im living in atm. i still need to find a house for next year though

We've got so much snow here. On the way to my lecture this morning I saw two lads trying to build the biggest snowball in the world. Don't think they got that far but they were big when I got back.

Had an interesting lecture this morning on firearms. This afternoon's lecture sounds rather boring. Two hours on the legal system. I'm getting rather annoyed with IFS now. All the lectures so far this semester are exactly the same as last semester.

yesterday i didnt do much, went to netball then came home and watched the tv then went to bed early! phoned up my landlord about our broken fridge and they said they would come and look at it straight away but they didnt come yesterday so im hoping they will come today but wont be surprised if they dont!

That is just not fair, if they rent out to students, they need to make sure that things are sorted out quickly, they get plenty of dosh for it. Luckily it is not the height of summer where things would go off even quicker. Hope you get it sorted soon

thanks they didnt come today either! they really are so crap its unbelievable, they think they can do what they like cos we are students! so much stuff has been broken for months which weve told them about but still havent been fixed - the radiators were broken for over a year before they were fixed, my housemate had to shower completely in the dark for 3 months cos both the lights in her bathroom broke and they are odd lights so we cant change themselves and the bathrooms dont have windows! and the fire alarm was broken for about 2 months before they bothered to fix it! and other small things like our kettle has been broken since may, the microwave doesnt work. ill phone them up again tomorrow and shout at them and see what they say!

phoned up the company who own my house today to see why no one had come to look at our fridge. apparently the guy i spoke to said it wasnt his fault cos some woman was meant to be sorting it out and she wasnt in today. but after arguing with him for about 25mins he said that hed send someone round first thing tomorrow so hopefully itll be sorted otherwise im gonna go down to the office and cause a fuss til its sorted lol!

my fridge is still broken! someone came round on friday (although they promised they would be round on thursday! ) and had a look at it and said it was broken and something was wrong with it and that someone would come back next week (this week) to try and fix it. my housemate said someone came round on tuesday and they couldnt fix it so they are going to get us a new fridge, but even though theres a comets and a currys and an argos etc just up the road from where we live, they wanna get it from somewhere else where its cheaper so itll take about 10 days to get here at least! its annoying cos although we still have another fridge its not big enough for all 6 of us to fit our food in

3 more: Glamorgan, Carmarthen and Brighton.
A friend of mine has already heard from Camarthen and has an interview so I'm waiting for an unsuccessful off them

Glamorgan was a slightly different course, instead of full on Primary teaching it was a major/minor course with English studies being the major and education being the minor so I'm crossing my fingers for there.

I am so bored Was supposed to have my driving test today but it's snowing too much I'm hungry but I don't know what to have either. Hmmm
