How Was Your Day VI

[DaVeyWaVey]

Sorry to hear that Perdita Sad news. Hope you and his wife are coping ok x

Starting to enjoy uni a bit more now. Just a bit concerned about my course - sometimes I feel a bit out of my depth but I want to try and give it my best. I guess that's all I can do? I just don't want to fail.

I also got asked out by this guy and we've been spending loads of time together. He is lovely. We went to the cinema the other day and watched 500 days of summer and we've walked along the beach and just looked out at the sea view. It's early days and we are taking things slowly and just enjoying each other's company.

That is sad news Perdita thinking of you and his wife x

Davey, that sounds sooooo romantic!! Also.... is 500 Days of Summer good? I really wnat to see it, I read the synopsis... kind of summed up my life lately haha.

I'm shattered,physically and mentally, and coming down with a cold.

We had our first night of restaurant yesterday, I was so so nervous, but our tutor was impressed with us all... and was surprised by how nervous I was, I think it's because I wanted to get it right as it's silver service and that, and I was worried about doing something wrong... when I did loads of things wrong haha, but thinking about it.. I'm not goign to get it right first time, it takes practice, but I hope I get there soon

Still no luck on the job front either, applied to loads of places, waiting for a phonecall off one, the lady said it would be a few days.. so I rang back today and the guy said that the boss was going through all the applications and if when I rang up my name and number was taken I'd be on the list... but that so many people have applied. I never heard anythign off Celtic Manor either nevermind. Obviously isn't meant to be!

Lost 1/2 lb tongiht at SLimming... I'm getting there very slowly lol
And went dancing, only to find out that actually I don't have 4 lessons left.. as we don't dance in half term, next week is my last week! I'm gutted haha... I have to leave, I need to move on, but it's just sad I've made so many good friends there, and my dancing teacher told me she was going to miss me tonight lol, so that nearly set me off lol.

Everythings so emotional lately, it's horrible.

Bit down this week.. over stupid things. Had a pretty good day today though, with 2 mates from college. So glad that so far (touch wood), we haven't lost contact.

I spent this morning arguing with 8 years old (my daughter's friend) over who was better Micheal Jackson or Madonna.. Course, I was the only one who like Madonna, but I defend her well The final result was.. Old people like Madonna

Thank you!!

Myself, the lollipop lady, one of the girls in the creche and a school teacher agreed with Madonna and that is why the kids said "old people like madonna"

Mind you, Ben did support me but they all just called him a mammy's boy

Sorry to hear about your friend Perdy, I'm sending you a virtual cuddle as you cuddled and many others cuddled me last week. Work has be crap this week. To cut a story short a consultant was bought in to do a report on the engineering department last months and his findings were to close down the Body and Paint programme, which means in three years there will be no body and paint classes taught at the college, plus we have a HMIE visit in november that everyone is panicing about. On top of that the head of the department was off sick for two weeks and the lecturers had a meeting with his boss a few things were said but to keep it short some stabbed him in the back. so today he had a meeting to flush out what was said it wasn't pretty and I had to take the minutes an hour and a half in a meeting and my head was like jelly. Thank goodness it's the weekend and the lecturing staff are on holiday next week I will get peace.

I've had a really fun weekend at a friend's new flat in Warwickshire Last night we lit candles, I cooked a three course meal and we sat talking for ages about growing up and other deep stuff that we don't get to talk about at uni.

The students union president rang this afternoon and invited us over for tea at his house in Birmingham. Really fun night, very deep and philosophical conversation which I understood none of but I saw a side to him that I've not seen before.

I've just got in so I'm going to sleep. It's been a busy but fun weekend and now I feel kinda lonely in my empty flat.

I had the worst day for a while. Had a lecture which turned out to be how to use the library catalogue I didn't make it through the first year without figuring that out. Then I had to go for a risk assessment and now have it in writing that I can't use mounted syringes, scalpels or any other sharp objects, depex, tissue clear, I have to use plastic equipment instead of glass and I can't use chemicals at all. I know they're covering their backs but seriously?!! I think they've gone too far.

I feel that I should say something but what exactly? I understand where they're coming from in saying I can't use sharp objects but I've been well for nearly four years. I don't see that I pose a "medium" risk to myself or others. How am I supposed to do assessment practicals that involve the banned objects and chemicals?

After that it was time to drown my sorrows and then get involved in some union stuff whilst still drunk. Was fun though

I went winde tasting with College today... the thing itself was rubbish.. £20 down the drain, and the food was awful! But I had such a good day with my college buddies

I just wish everyday was that nice.... ugh.

Last dancing lesson on Thursday too...
