Back!!!......????......!!!!!

Ages. Ages. An age. An eternity. A fracking long time since last I did blog. I think in this one i'll try and bullet point all the things that have happened that I can remember, of which im sure I will add too. Then I slowly but hopefulyy surely get round to mentioning them all along the way.

  • Passed Exams: Holy bollocks I passed my exams. I got A's and B's...!!! Mad! I must admit that it was very tuff and I found out how much you have to work to get proper grades. It is certainly the first time that I have worked as hard as that for an exam and I fully hated it in some ways but in antoher way I love learning. I love finding out why things happen. How much did I not know about babies and the way they are made (shut up!!). For the first time in life i am genuinely looking forward to going 'back to school'. I know that when the time comes again and exams are looming over me like some sort of dictionary shaped, big unfriendly giant, that I will once again wish for the day to come when i don't have to wake up and start reading difficult words and have to use the internet to find out what words mean in my own language. Anyhoo, role on and lets get the learning on like it's 2011.
  • Went to Italy: Finally and thankfully went off to Italy again. Italy (This is where we go each year) just happens to be a brilliant holiday. Every year we know what we are gunna get. It's booze, sun relaxing and fun. It is just so relaxed. One of those holidays where you don't need a holiday to get over it afterwards. The guys are brilliant. I love them all because they all just settle each other. There is no ego or competition things just work. That, I think, is something that doesn't happen too often. So we have every intention to go every year as we said we would and look forward all the time to getting back to eating fresh food followed by fresh beer.
  • Butfest: Well. What to say. I sure 'C' will have followed up the experience on going to Butlins with a massive in depth blog that will be far superior to mine. That said, I fully intend on going every year. Butlins rocks. People that go are just lovely!!! Who would have thought that that many Jeremy Kyle guests all in one place would get on so well. I love it !!!!! Nuff said blud!
  • Bestival: My first festival! I gather that, of all the festivals Camp Bestial is the more arty and placid one and you know what, so fuck! I love it. It was brilliant.

Right!

Umm so i havent really been on here for about a billion years. I don't really have any reason why I just haven't really had anything to say but then again i wish I had now because I literally have no idea where to start with the events of the past like 6 months or longer!

Brightfest! Obviously I have no intention of going into the detail that cheesman has, because i have the neither the memory or the descriptive ability to do that with the amount of gravitas it deserves. However what i will say is that, I could not of spend a better few days with better people and had a better time than we all did. It was great! Rabbit tv is something that I would like to bring onto tv's all round the country as a compulsary measure to alleviate sadness and boredom. I cannot wait for 2011 Brightfest because if it is even half as good as the last it will be great. However as I talk about it and think about the mechanics of the 3 days, with the people who were present i.e. a guardian reader, a person who falls asleep after eating anything larger than a twix, someone who doesn't like people fullstop and another who gets the fear with every hangover- really it should be a complete fucking car crash but some how it just .....well.....works. Brilliant!!

I got my first 'A'......Ever!! I have never gotten an 'A' in a school enviroment in my life, other than catering but that doesnt count. I was amazed. doubly amazed that it was on the statistics report that i found really tough. Its soo nice to get good feedback when you maybe arnt that sure about something. However we now have more to do and I have to really start revising for exams. I am shitting it! and i don't think that many other people are that worried. I suppose it's a bit pointless worrying about other people but you cant help it sometimes. Everything is going ok on the course. Everyone is lovely. We had a careers evening the other night and I really fancy the idea of clinical psychology but they did everything they could to put you off it. I dunno why but they just did! Sucks because it looks like it really hard to get into and there arn't courses at birkbeck which fuckin really sucks because we have a really nice group there. Im getting bored of doing the lets make new friends again and all the long silences that come with that. However you gotta do what you gotta do and if that involves me having to move uni then thats just whats gunna happen, it doesnt mean that I have to like it. So overall at the moment the course is going good and as I write this I really need to finish off my paper for foundations and hand it in but that is most likely not going to happen today because i went out last night with Alice (friend from ritz). it was late and i was drunk. very drunk.

I got into the Samaritans. Yey! Another barrier crossed and hopefully it will all go well. I doubt it will be easy but it's something that I honestly beleive in now. I suppose I went to do it a little bit because I wanted to volunteer anyway and also a bit because it helps for the psych course. Which ever way you look at it I got in and I will be working as a sam for a while now I hope. Also after 1 year you can go and work in prisons which I really want to do. I have no idea how I get to do it etc but I am looking forward to finding out.


Darts. I finally rediscovered darts and am fully on my way to try and get into a league. Basically there are ones that you can go to in pubs etc round the country but I think I would rather be embarresed by my abilities in the comfort of my own room. Yes thats right...... darts online. Basically you play against someone over skype. There are like masses of people that do it including pro's. I wanna get better first because im a bit shit right now, hopefully soon i shall have a breakthrough and become a pro myself lol.

Im booking another italy trip tmrw with ralph and the lads. Another grand chance to drink lots and eat more. Love where we go aswell. Ralph has a family place over there. Its really quite and thats what i love. havent gotta do anything but sit and chat and drink. who could ask for me lol.

Im tired now but will carry on hopefully soon.
