Sep 25th 2005 Since I have a weenie bit of time…

…i'll post on my blog :P

College is going perfect I love it made loads more friends, and hope to make EVEN MORE! The work is slightly hefty though we have been learning about binary and i can actaully could to 15+ in binary without using a table now :| 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011… and so on lol then we have been leaning BCD (Binary Coded Decimal), Hexidecimal, and Octal :|

Yeah its been pretty busy I am learning very fast exspecially with the coding (Visual Basic 6), CSYS is a nice lesson too however alot of it is just binary ect, but we got an assignment to do which I am having a break from while I type this up :P . My group pressention for NCFE is done, speech aswell (thank god) . However we got another presentation to do for Key Skills on anything we want so my group (Richard, Agus, Jason, and John) have choosen mobiles (fun :P ) . Well that basically what work I have got to do.

Grand dad when in for his OP on his knee last week, he is now home but is still trying to get into the swing of walking again! I will help them, Joe isnt really helping though! :@ :angry: <_< .Natalie (My gf) was round yesterday me, sam, and his bro went up KL to do some shopping and pick her up from train station, we just laid on the bed talking "cuggling" and watching TV, she had tea round here too.

Home life is good my mate sam comes round we have a talk or whatever you know hes a good mate like. However my brother is WELL ANNOYING, I anouced a few days ago that I am going on diet because I have actaully started piling on weight :( saddening.

I have kinda got a job now.. however they cant pay me till there "funds" come through this means I could be waiting for months.. till I get any money, I need money NOW to I can pay off all debt NOW urgh what do I do drop out of it? I dunno!!

Sep 7th 2005 Im in, oh yeah!

It was a monday morning I woke up at 6.30am had a shower got changed went for the breakfast (something I aint done in over a year) got ready it was absoluty PISSING down so I put on my coat and got in the car, grandad dropped me off at the bus stop there was loads of people there, I thought at least one is for boston… oh how wrong I was :P

I see the bus and I was hoping someone put there hand up but they didnt and I missed the bus >_< so I rang gdad up and said the bus has gone past me can you take me to the next one (fleet) we got the fleet and the bus hadnt come yet, so I got off at fleet and the bus picked me up and off I went to boston college weee.

1hr bus ride later while listening to my MP3 Player I felt so… hmmm "safe" its a adult enviroment so I felt i fitted in better, soon as I entered the reception I was greeted with loads of happy, friendly faces egger to help and tell us where to go :) I was asked what course I was on (BTEC First Diploma in IT (Level 2) Software Dev) and told to goto room M35… right ok… *goes upstairs*

So while walking upstairs I met a person called John, now one of my friends in class and on the bus, so as I walked down the corridors looking round thinking how smart the place is we got the room M35 where we met our tutors Vanessa and Tim , College is alot different compared to school, theres non of this formal "miss" "sir" stuff its just tim and vanessa.

So we was given a folder, and loads of stuff to read and sign we had to do some group work like interviewing the person next to us finding out stuff about them and writing it down, then we had to stand up and read to the whole class!! we did a few other teamwork activities and that.

We had various people come in and example a shitload of things it was a hot day aswell so everyone got bored and hot, during this time I made another friend Richard, he knows HTML and stuff. Tim wanted to show us some basic HTML on the board.. and in the end he asked anyone what the answer was to what "< tr>" tr stands for Table Row and the asked what "< td>" stood for… now I knew what I did but no idea what TD stood for so I took a guess Table Colum I knew I was wrong soon as I said it >_<

It was infact Table Data… bugger :P someone asked how to do links and stuff Tim wrote a href: a : in a link what the hell lol! so I corrected him :P hehe I think im gonna get on well in this course, oh and we got our timetables, and we will be coding in VB6 so im downloading that at the moment at 2kbs :(

So that was monday… I got home and went to bed early.

Yesterday BC took 3 bus loads of IT/Bussiness students to Butlins we had a hours drive upto skeg and about 45min talk from "Chris Baron" boooooooooring "We have a Local Area Network which is joined to our LAN" lmao. and then had like 3hrs to kill so I met some of Richards friends Tom and Ross and we all went for a walk round butlins we had a good laugh me and ross went for a swim round in the pool fuck the clorine did my eyes in.

then we come home lol 4hrs of travelling.

Wednesdays off, back tomorrow!

Thanks for reading!

Sep 3rd 2005 like putting a drawing pin in your finger..

Well heres a update on college,

I did my second interview the other day, fun? No I was shit scared, I walked into del monfort campass to be greeted with loads of nice caring, happy people checking over my details they give me this little checklist to tick off all the things I had to do and that.

Got my certs photocopied and things like that then I have to goto m18 this room you have to do a exam on coding?! ARGH never made any applications in my LIFE! however I did get one of the highest scores of the day :P 51% not bad I was impressed hehe.

So done all that then had to have a interview which then trouble arose FUCK they wanted the name of the educational welfare officer they got me pulled out of school and could I remember? Like hell!

So i rang up mum in spain of a mobile >_< yeah this caned my credit i hung up she rang my nan for my mobile number mum then rang me back and gave my councillers phone number.. rang that shes ill for a week FUCKING HELL! so I didnt really know what to do anyways they kinda let me thru to the next step.

A math and English test, even I was suprised at this! I never relised I had dropped this low. I got Level 1 in both tests :’( ARGH im ment to be working at level 3, shit.

however I couldnt make sence of the English test it asked this:

if 31 is hot and 29 is cold what is 30 here is what the answers was:

Warm
Tempid
Dont Know
You have not told me

I chose warm… I was wrong what a wierd question lol..

So I start college on monday woo oh god I gotta train myself to wake up at 6.30am!!!! monday is induction day and tuesday is butlins… yes I know even I was shocked when they said there taking us to butlins! Wow I hope I meet loads of new people :D

Enough college hows the social, social is good Went up kings lynn errr thursday met a girl called natalie (sp?) with sam and I went to JJB sport to get some swimming shorts for butlins! hehe

Went t sutton bridge yesterday to see nan… wow she is a mess :( she tripped in wisbech and smashed here teeth, glasses and face and she looks so bruised up she has broke a finger too, her knees are all brusised too, i went into the actic to look for papers for my college and stuff…

Whether you choose mastercard or visa credit cards, it takes considerable time to get it after you apply. Although now you can apply for credit card online which has simplified the process yet getting the discounted offers like rewards visa and mastercard and comparing those for suitability takes much of time. When you look for cheap credit card services; you might also consider discounted deals as well as student credit card offers which are comparatively lower in cost besides rewards deals like discover card rewards. You would notice that the process is simple yet complex like choosing from a range of low cost loans.

Think that about everything lol

Tom.
