Escapism on a boring Saturday

so yeh the whole write on every other day thing didn't end up working out, sorry about that. But sufficed to say, i've settled into college life reasonably well so far, although there are likely some facets of it ive had yet to learn, but they'll come with experiance i think.

it was interesting yesterday on friday, cause at college we had this charity day based around the Jeans for Genes idea, tho because everyone always wears they're jeans into school most days anyway, they decided to alter the concept a little bit and decided to instead make it wear your pyjamas to school day. this was interesting as well as eye-opening, i had no idea so many people wore onezees to bed =P no, but it gave me an insight into what other people wear in bed and also gave me an excuse to walk around in my dressing gown all day, which felt very Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy-ee =D

now its weekend and i've got a bunch of homework to do, and i have can't be bothered right now, maybe later when im more focused. on another note, its come to my attention that there is no national/international day in celebration of Doctor Who and for that reason a group of nerdfighters have decided that the best day would probably be the 23rd of November, because that was the original air date of the very first episode of Doctor Who aired in the UK, so spread the word around and hopefully we can make it as big a day as National Towel Day, which is the day celebrating the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy series.

anyway, i think i'll finish up with a quick review of The IT Crowd season 3, which i zoomed through last night cause i was bored: ITS AMAZING!! there you go =)

Collegification

so today marks the end of my first day of college, it was what i expected in most ways and in some ways it wasn't, but i'll get to that in a bit. first of all i wanna gripe about the distance i have to walk in order to get there. Sure im not exactly the most althletic or healthy person on the planet, my ideal day involves eating pizza and playing video games, not travelling long distances, but walking 2.2 miles, 4.4 in total each day is a little annoying, but i digress.

Classical Civ was pretty interesting, the guy we have for it is called Ivan Barisnikov, so i was half expecting an ex-KGB type of guy with a harsh Russian accent and possibly a bit of an alcohol problem. But no we instead have a middle aged balding man from London with a wierd combo accent and a Hello Kitty obsession, so good times. People in the group seem decent enough and i have a friend from my previous school, which i wasn't expecting, so i have high hopes for the group and out of my three lessons i had today, it was my favourite.

Philosophy on the other hand wasn't as good as i was expecting, the room was quite hot and stuffy as well as the fact that i left the room with a minor headache (wether thats to do with the room or just the fact that doing Philosophy or reading it gives me a headache i'm not sure) Sure there was a bit of eye candy floating around in the lesson and the people we intelligent, but our teacher had one of the most boring voices imaginable and didn't really endear me to the subject and he seemed to lack any real enjoyment and enthusiasm for the subject. I will however, stick it out and see what happens.

Finally Physics was a bit of a surreal experiane for me at least, because i sit next to a guy in it called Carl that i swear i know from somwhere, but i didn't get a chance to quiz him on where he had come from or where he had been a school before, so i'll try and find out if i used to know him or not. There was a girl in that class that was quite well endowed, that i swear i know from somewhere as well, but i didn't make conversation with her and probably never will, a shame but there you go. Apart from that the lesson was pretty standerd fair i guess, tho im not quite sure what imaging has to do with physics exactly, but its been ok so far and hopefully won't get too number heavy.

So overall my first day wasn't too bad, while i would have liked more people in my classes that i knew, these new faces will hopefully endear me to make new friends and spread my pathetic little wings a little. I'll do another one of these on Wednesday and Friday i think as a kind of week update thing for this week at least and then maybe continue, but im not sure yet.

Snowboarding with a touch of Instrumental Blues

so today im going with some of my friend from my senior scout patrol over to our local ski centre to have our first snowboarding lesson. Im not too sure how i feel about it to be honest, ive never been the most adventurous person in the world, and im don't really have a high pain tolerance, but a year or two ago i had my first skiing lesson and i really enjoyed it and i regret not continuing it.

So i guess my main objective here is to see if i enjoy it and if i do, to make myself continue to learn rather than shy out of it and regretting it for a long period of time afterwards. For someone like me that can be pretty difficult, but its one of the ways i intend to set out and change myself for the better, whether that happens though remains to be seen.

in other news i still have made little to no effort to learn to play either my guitar or ukelele and my own sloath in this matter is beginning to annoy me, i want to learn them, but my brain seems to refuse to put in the effort to learn. any suggestions on how to get over this would be appreciated.

College Trepidations and Junk Food

So at the moment im just sitting in front of my computer, listening to Lucie Silvas on youtube and waiting for the time to tick over so i can walk up to the college im starting in a week or two for my Enrollement interview and i have no proper junk food to consume, i know - total disaster.

Im not sure what my thoughts are on starting college in a week are really, i know i'll be glad to get back into a routine after about 2 months of sitting on my ass doing nothing apart from the occasional youtube vid and forum posting, as you can probably tell, i have a very active social life.

I can tell its gonna a difficult experiance for someone with my nervous dispositon, with the whole making new friends and all that kinda malarky. But its a new beginning for me and hopefully i can use that to leave some of the mistakes that ive made in the past buried and move forward into a new age of enlightenment. Bit cheesy i know but still i have to believe i can do better otherwise whats the point in trying?

my stomach is moaning at me that im not giving it enough attention but theres nothing i can do about it right now, it'll have to make do with an apple and a sideorder of juice.

I really need to start learning to play my instruments.
