    Had a nice weekend, college is over (WOO) so managed to relax and not have to feel guilty about not doing various assignments cos theres NONE TO DO.

    Working yesterday, very dull cos there were hardly any customers, doing overtime this sunday to try to get some cash in. Have bought various uni stuff (including 24 coathangers, 12 pink and 12 purple, they're so cool!) and went out monday night for a meal with paul, rich and chris (it was meant to be more but the others had no money) ate LOADS at pizza hut (they're doing a full works thing, one big pizza, one medium pizza, four refillable drinks, two starters and two ice cream factories) and I ordered a salad on top of that and two of us ordered extra ice cream factories, and we shared the two starters (potato skins and cheesy garlic bread) then rich went home and the rest of us went to wetherspoons for a drink, then went home.

    Friday night Paul, my mother and I are going to see meatloaf live at leeds castle (I'm truly tragic for being excited about that but there we go). Then saturday is going to be weird cos my aunt Helen has decided that she wants to do something to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her parents death (I told you it was weird) so her, her partner, her son, my uncle Keith, his partner, his daughter, and my dad, mum and me are all going out for a meal...my dad isnt happy about it, keith isnt happy about it, and neither are their partners. My mums been in a right state especially with whats going on with her mum at the moment, my mum started going on about how inadequate she is as a wife and housewife and mother the other day, and I didnt quite know what to do. Its just irritating, because most people, if their grandparents died 20 years ago, its not affecting daily life now. But no, I have to be DIFFERENT.

    Dont know when I'm going to see paul next after friday, cos he might be working lots, which is good cos it means he has money for uni, but  bad cos I dont know when we'll see each other. So I'll probably get some overtime for the time hes working so I dont die of boredom.

    2 months, 13 days to go.

    Done all my work WOO! And if my calculations are correct, which I sure as hell hope they are, I've got enough to get to uni, and so has paul. So, panic over. Nothing else to say really, will update when I've woken up more.

    Linda is now back from gambia too. She arrived last night and brought me a small wooden head. Its very pretty...I intend to display it prominently in the uni study bedroom when i get there to lend the room a multicultural feel (long words and everything). Anyway, thats all good and lovely.

    College has become stressful again cos theres still stuff to do and lecturers being arseholes (mentioning no names AHEMregAHEMmikeAHEM) but only one more day then its all over and I never have to see any of the annoying people again, only the people I want to see. So thats lovely. I'm using the word lovely too much, I really should stop.

    Well, I drove over 100 miles today. And I'm bloody knackered! Saw Toms dogs, Damien (half rottweiller, half...dont know) who weighs in at 33kg decided I was a new toy and knocked me flying a couple of times. Nothing much else happened really, had a nice nap with a bizarre dream about some minister who was taking a wedding and there was a bomb under the altar....seriously, its safest not to ask. I blame it on Paul deprivation. And having to drive to bloody Folkestone and getting lost. But I see Paul tomorrow so everythings ok. And I have a small chocolate stash to eat when I'm reading my book tonight. Shut up I lead a sad life but I LOVE IT alright?!

    Went shopping with Tom, saw Paul for an hour while he had his lunchbreak, which was nice but now hes at work and I'm at home, and thats really not a sensible arrangement.

    I'm driving Tom to Folkestone tomorrow to visit his dogs in quarantine and he decided that seeing as I'm his chauffer I need a chauffers hat so he bought me one - it looks like one of the black puffy taxi driver hats (I know what I mean) but its pink corduroy, I quite like it in an amusing kind of way, I showed it to Paul and he wasnt convinced...hehe. I've also got some credit on my phone now (woo!) and a new mascara cos I lost mine, somehow. Paul thinks I've left it around college somewhere, which wouldnt surprise me. Oh well. And I bought some chocolate because....because I deserve it, alright?!!

    I wish it was Monday.

    My uncle Tom is back from gambia! My aunt Linda is following on tuesday, she had to stay behind in case he was sent back so that she could keep hold of the keys to their compound, otherwise they'd have been stuck for 3 months before they could try again (cos of their dogs that they're shipping over and quarantine laws and such)

    The dogs are apparently fine, Tom and I are going to visit them on sunday, and tomorrow I'm taking him to Maidstone to sort out various things. Am hopefully going to see Paul for a minute if he has a lunchbreak while we're still in town, just as long as we have time for a quick cuddle that'll help. I really miss him even though I saw him yesterday. Cant wait for college on monday (god I'm such a sad case) so I can see him. Can't wait for friday when we'll hopefully be alone for a while, for a start I think I've buggered up my back and hes very good at back rubs :-D

    So far I know I have:-

    Fault finding - distinction

    PLCs - distinction

    Software development - distinction

    IVA/Comms - MP

    Electrical Applications - merit

    And am pretty sure I have:-

    Micros - distinction

    Business - pass

    Further electronics - distinction

    Digital - distinction

     

    I just need to check that I have the last four, by asking the lecturers involved, then I can relax in the knowledge that I have the grades for uni. I feel really sorry for people doing exams!

    Still tired but just had a nice bath cos I was disgustingly hot and sweaty and sticky...damn hot weather and running around the college finding various lecturers. Its worth it though, I've finished all the work for my course! Unless the buggers make me redo anything.
    Home alone tomorrow, so intend to eat most of the contents of my house. Not seeing Paul again til Monday cos of the stupid refit hes doing. Pfft. It feels especially weird cos usually on fridays I go up to his house and we have the whole weekend together. Or he comes to mine, but thats rarer. He's been complaining today cos he doesnt want to work he wants to see me instead...bless. So I think I'll be calling my godmother and/or kyran this weekend to stop me going completely stir crazy. (is that the right phrase?)
    Anyway, not much else to report. But I've done all my work, so yay.

    Its quite a nice temperature in Maidstonium but in Chatham its bloody boiling! Was at college all day feeling all damp and sweaty...YUM! I put some body spray on though and smelt "lovely" according to rich, bless him.

    Got LOADS of work done, now only have to do an assignment for Steve Casey and a couple of corrections for Nick Green, then as far as I know we're done! Most of the class (15 out of 17) have to do a retest for Reg but I dont cos I guessed all the answers...Rich doesnt either for the same reason, apparently.

    So far this year I know I've got:

    PLCs - Distinction

    Fault finding - Distinction

    Electrical Applications - Merit

    IVA and Communications - Pass/Merit

    I probably also have:

    Software Development - Distinction

    Business - Pass

    And by the end of this week I will hopefully/probably have:

    Further Electronics - Distinction

    Further Microelectronics - Distinction

    Digital Electronics - Distinction

    Which, added up with what I got last year, will be a final grade of MMM, which coincedentally is exactly what I will need to get to uni!

    I'm so damn close!

    I'm also so damn tired! Didnt leave college this evening til gone half five, and everyone else was leaving at 4 - 4.30 ish....whenever they felt like it basically. But they'll probably be more panicky than me come next week, so I'm feeling rather smug. And Paul is also on track for getting to uni (hes got about the same amount to do as me) so I dont need to worry on his behalf, cos uni would be no fun without him. Not looking forward to this weekend cos hes working on the woolworths refit in Maidstone, so I dont get to see him all weekend, but at least he'll get plenty of overtime so we can go out for dinner or something. Or just finish of uni shopping stuff...really need to sort that out soon as we're off in less than 3 months!

    Woo new journal!

    Well, I have a new livejournal, yay me. What to report? Hmm. Its far too hot here for a start, dont know about other parts of the country but its horrible here at the moment, I cant even sleep properly cos im all sweaty and manky (now thats a pleasant thought).


    My grandma is still in hospital after her operation for bowel cancer and now has a bladder infection. She starts chemo soon I think but its not going to do anything except make her die a bit slower...lovely. She might have a couple of years left though.

    A week and a half left and then college is all over. Thats a weird thought. Getting a bit panicky about a test we have on wednesday which I think is because general stress levels are high and blowing everything out of proportion. I'm sure I shouldnt be feeling tearful about one little test when I managed perfectly well in the days of exams that might affect my entire future and that i wouldnt get the results of for months.

    Didnt go in to college today so have gone two days without Paul, and have another one to live through - and im working tomorrow. And my manager will be in, who is a bitch from hell. And if she pisses me off I shall give her one of the walking poles that we sell for about 30 quid and tell her exactly, in technical terms, where she should insert it. Well, I wont, but it cheers me up to imagine her face if I did.

    I shouldnt have made an entry today I dont want to seem like I'm pissed off all the time.
