Couples

It's tricky when you're faced with the situation of having to turn away from a snogging couple, especially when they sit in front of you on the bus. I always feel I have to make an effort to look away so everybody knows I don't enjoy watching heavy petting from point-blank range, and therefore I turn my head in awkward directions. It looks like I'm having a fit.

Horse Owners

Horse owners annoy me abit. If you're aware your horse has shat its' guts out onto the road, the decent thing would be to clear it up. Horse owners, don't give me the easy argument of, "But all horses eat is grass so it doesn't matter if you step in it or go near it". Erm - That's not what I think, I'm afraid. All I eat is roast potatoes, meat and toast but I'm pretty sure you'd be annoyed if I fired that out onto the road for you to step in.

Time for a reboot

Steven Hawking was admitted to hospital recently and it's all over the news. How ironic. A virus. I wonder if they rebooted him and started him up again in Safe Mode? I guess that's what happens when you don't clear out your recycle bin often enough, Steven.

Blogspot Therapy

Blogging is therapeutic. For too long have people had to keep their views on wasps and education to themselves. I often write about things on here that are completely pointless to share, but it helps de-clutter my brain. I need as much space as I can get in there for college facts and figures, so it's better to get the randomness swept away from within that skull of mine.

The High Kerb

Sat alone self consciously at the bus stop. Even the pigeons have the litter to nibble on and keep them company. Luckily I've got something to do now, though. Watching a young man attempt to navigate a particularly high kerb with a large number of shopping bags is unusually entrancing. I admire his persistence too. He's had at least 4 tries. Perhaps he should consider buying less next time.

Right - I'm on the bus now, sat behind a couple who both have a hearing aid. An issue has arisen though. The husband has a hearing aid in the left ear, and the wife, the right ear. Therefore when then turn to talk to each other there's alot of standardised replies such as "eh?" and "Whadda ya say?" I think next time they get on the bus they should sit the other way around.

Wasps

Now that summer's here
The wasps fly out
This gives all the bees
Something to moan about

There's commotion in the sky
As the bee bumbles by
Gives the wasp a dirty look
Because his turf it took

But Bees have a reason to live
They pollinate the flowers
The wasps on the other hand
Abuse their powers

Bee - Useful
Wasp - Useless

Friction Burns

It's Red Nose Day today. Not because we're raising money for 3rd world countries, but because the people that produce my Benadryl Plus hayfever tablets haven't done a very good job. Thanks to them, I now have to walk to English with a nose like Rudolph from Kleenex friction burns.

The Sway

Glad to be going home today. The warm weather combined with my hayfever makes me feel drowsy, so I tend to sway drunkenly whilst trying to stand upright. Tempted to camp out at college overnight.

Fact of The Day - 1

Found out today that snails can sleep for up to 3 years at a time. Doesn't attract me. Not sure why they do it either. Is it any wander we step on them when they're in such a deep slumber? I think that should stop sleeping and use their time to develop a more effective means of travelling around. Crawling on your stomach and taking your house along for the ride too can't be fun.

Matching Shirt

The end of another college day. Got to go home early today so that's not too bad. It's getting quite warm now. You can tell summer is nearing when you can't hear the teacher over the sniffles and splutters of snotty hayfever sufferers - Myself being one of them. Had a lesson today in which a boy was wearing the shame shirt as me. Took mine off to avoid confrontation. Awkward.

Easter Holidays - Gone

It's a sad day for sure. Only 3 weeks roughly until exams begin. I had a good time these holidays though, but it always seems you only appreciate the amount of fun you had when college comes back around. Went to Chessington World of Adventures on Sunday and had a really good time apart from the final encounter with a staff member acting like a bouncer outside "Billys Wild Playhouse" Apparently I'm too tall to enter an indoor ball pit? I'm hardly going to go in there, tie a ball and chain around the ankles of every child in there, and ask them to feed me grapes. I don't even like grapes.

Facebook Storm Report

Revision yesterday went pretty well. Started things off by reading afew chapters of "Jeckyll and Hyde" It's not a bad book, but there's some complicated words partying in those pages. Never mind though. I've looked into it and apparently there's no such thing as a childs pop-up edition of the novel for me. It's a dreadful shame. I'd have loved to have seen various pictures of monsters and accompanied with witty captions.

There was a thunderstorm yesterday morning. Naturally, Facebook was flooded with friend statuses along the line of, "SCARY LOUD THUNDER! ANYBODY ELSE HEAR IT!?" I think people tend to overhype and exaggerate things in this country sometimes. I'm planning to do some more revision today - Only about 27 days to my first exam! Better get back to "Jeckyll and Hyde"...

Precision Revision?

I plan to do 4 hours of revision tomorrow. Firstly, I say plan. The idea may fall flat, but hopefully not. Secondly, I say revision. The idea of revising strikes fear in the heart of men / students. What remains to be seen is whether any revision gets done at all, and for how long. I'm determined to go for it though. I really need to start revising for these exams coming up. Ar, the life of a student. Eat, drink, visit social networking website, revise? [and repeat]

Went to Pizza Hut today for "Happy hour",the hour in which skint students only pay £4 for a pizza, garlic bread, and a drink. (Side note - I think that's a good deal!) Was going to have Ice-cream, but decided against it. I like my Ice-cream fairly solid, not liquidated and served with a straw like Pizza Huts unique formula.

Was a good day though. But must revise tomorrow. Must revise. Must revise. Must revise.

Longleat Zoo

Went to Longleat Zoo yesterday. Now - I have my off days; Days where I like to laze around the house and do absolutely nothing. The difference is - I don't charge people to watch. Unfortunately for us - Longleat Zoo do.

After being told the monkey drive-through route was closed (Which usually involves watching monkeys tearing off the windscreen wipers of Ford Fiestas) we went straight to the next drive-through section - The lions and tigers.

You know you've been dealt a poor card when the only time the lion gets off his arse is to stretch and then go back to sleep. Because the park was fairly busy, and there were alot of people in cars ahead of us marvelling at this site, we were also forced to watch this lion "gymnastics" multiple times. I had a chicken strip at lunchtime and I'm pretty sure that it moved more than the lions and tigers combined did on that day.

After the safari drive and chicken strip it was already near closing time, so we went to the maze. We walked up to the maze entrance, and were told that it was ultimately pointless going in as the park was closing any minute. Nobody told us however, that the maze was infact run by a lady who seemed to feel that her life depended on ensuring we didn't go in. She was very persistent.

Todays Issue

Is it rude to stare? Why, yes it is. Man sat opposite me - Please take note.

Elections, Aromas and all things brail!

Student election results have been announced! Now lets see all those people who made empty promises get hit head on by the realisation of what they've put themselves up for. Our psychology teacher attempted to hypnotize us today by lying us on the ground and talking softly. Didn't work on me annoyingly. Sat on the bus at the moment, and wondering why the "STOP" button has braille underneath it. How does a blind man who when it's his stop?

That Uni Vibe

Went to Surrey University today to have a look around. It was a fair so all the colleges across the country had their own table and were dishing out prospectuses. At first I felt quite grown up at this event, but this feeling was soon destroyed when a boy skipped past me excited about the fact that one of the universities was handing out lollipops. It's good to know the universities know how to entice us in. I hear next year they're giving out mopeds and cheap car insurance.
