That was Monday.Tuesday we errrm did something I think thats called work most of that was C++ (After a while coding you start to think in c++) My assignment is very nearly finished. so im pretty happy with that.
Wednesday errrm we did some more work cant remember exactly but we had a good laugh like always. didn’t see Leanne because tom was in stalking her etc, so I stayed away. I didnt really do anything that day lol. Oh oh LSU… yeah that was errr fun, did subtractions lol.

I’ll get to the title in a bit…
Ok first i’d like to say one of our fish was killed today in one of the most horrible ways to die… in the pump. Well my grentz was cleaning out the filter and they see all this white “plastic” as they called it well they cleared all that out turned the pump on and no water was coming out, they called down to have a look at it.

Well i took it the pump to bits to find a rather mangled fish and loads bones in the pump which was stopping the water coming out of it, not a very nice job at all inside the pump it looks like a waste disposal so the fish suffered a rather horrible death…

Moving on… I have to do learning support at college because im thick… ok not thick but I can’t do maths at all well I can but I don’t have any confidence and the way I work out my maths is a unique way that they have never seen… basically say I had to add 9 and 7 I cant do it unless i even them out to 8 and 8 sure this method works but it doesnt with bigger numbers so there gonna help me with that…

I could also be mildly dislexic too..something to do with my homophones (wiki page here) and I think they can do soething about that too right now I got all that over, whats the title about? well you know them that are the voice for the students i’m one of them guys and I think we already have some ideas that want putting forward some of these are:

1. Using a card at the canteen (highly unlikely)
2. Healthier food at canteen, This one was brought up by staff
3. IT Common room, yeah that was brought up last year in First Dip IT by students and staff
4. Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Photoshop Elements (cheaper) would be nice…
5. GIMP updated to 2.2
6. Firefox or Opera… Firefox is better!
7. Replace the tiny 14 inch monitlors in 150 because there max resolution is 800×600 nobody can work properly with that resolution!

Thats all for now… i’ll keep adding to the list as more people suggest more things to me if I could get a online poll system up and running that would show what the students would like to prioritize most.

Leanne was supposed to be coming round today but again isn’t coming round so im sulking about that.. Me and Shelly are talking on msn but not face to face….yet. I guess thats it really… Mum and dads phone line is down tried to ring that for 4 days now no answer rang mobile and had a 5 min talk she gonna ring tonight too hopefully so we can have a decent convo!

Made loads of new mates at college theres Jamie, Brad, Jake, Glen and Katie there the main ones don’t be offended if I have forgotten you, I have a sh*t memory lol. Thats all really, congratz to Pete sis getting married today too!

Oh yeh New competition every week i’ll be looking at the drawings and picking out the best once a week So get drawing! Webcam is down while I sort it out to run on Mac and Windows because i’m multibooting for college! (Damn c++)

College is a place for learning but also a place for having fun… while learning, everyday we have a bloody good laugh either green discharge jokes or just generally cracking jokes and making everyone laugh. I feel that having a good laugh just relaxes things and helps us get on with our work in one way.

So yeah college is good and we having been buliding our first C++ application (command prompt basic kinda thing) which is our assignment, I will be once again putting it on the net for user testing and hope I get about 20 or so users from different levels testing it out… I HOPE.

My love life errrm is well complicated exspecially with leanne i don’t think we will ever get together now, I keep getting asked out by other people but… mmm i dunno I just don’t feel like having a gf anymore just get hurt all the time so why even bother?

See sheena today got a hug off her too gotta luv her really so yeh we was in the park rich and the other was playing footy i was in my usual lazy mood and decided to get some food yum chips and cheese (one of the most unhealthy things ever)

thats all really errrm if your search for “Tom Parker” on google.com i am now frontpage result not the top yet.. and google.co.uk is on the second page second result… (need to improve that) but if your ever searching for my blog stick in “Tom Parker blog” or something along them lines you should find me easier that way.

Thats it really, Well I really wanna talk to shelly but “something” is stopping me god knows that it is because its just really wierd and does my head in cuz i like walk off when she appears to the scene its like so anti-socialableand I dont like doing it.

Ok well now I said that at least someone will read that and tell her… oh god damnit… grrr but still… grrr! Who thinks I should talk to her? I wouldn’t know what to say well I guess the first thing would be to say sorry for the whole mess I got into end of college… even I didn’t know I could get into that state…

And thats about it really errrm had to install windows on mac because i needed C++ I am currently hax0ring up my webcam so it works on both OS (operating systems)… im so smart ;p adding more features (mostly admin and monitoring) to the site to make things easier and exploring new ways of blogging

Draw pad is still up and going strong keep on sticking your drawings up there fun to look at (wont work on college computers though) and I think finally thats it… thanks for reading and sorry for the slow update lol

Well I have started college and so far its been pretty good really impressed with it so far.

As of now all posts will NOT include staff names anymore, I feel that even though this blog is free speech they should be allowed there personal privacy so no names will be mentioned under no circumstances that includes prase and if they have p!55ed me off.

Monday

Well we didnt do much it was an induction day really so all all the same talk really with extra humor added through the day few ice breakers here and there thats about it a few member of staff walked in and gave talks that about it. But we did have a few laughs with me cracking some jokes, at one point I went up and explained to the class some of the rules. Oh yeah said hello to shelly which kinda shcoked myself that i’d said it.
Tuesday

Tuesday Butlins day woo! Well we gathered up in the car park was given some papers and a ittle talk then got on the bus. We sat right at the back talking joking like normal lil jim was on the bus too with us so we just had a really good laugh.

We eventaully rolled in to Butlins and got off, there was alot of confusion on where we was going some people was going left right up down and some just didnt even move lol! So we rather everyone up and found our way to this big hall… and prepared ourselves for a hour or so of slideshows and a talk about Butlins.

We sat there listening all the slides was for business grr then the last 2 slides was for computing… but they was so obvious of course there going to use Microsoft Office and not the latest versions of software either its common sense lol. Either way after the boring talk we was free to do everything we wanted first thing FOOD!

We made our way to the main… tent thing you know that big white thing and got the Burger King just in time before everyone else rushed to it and got our food and ate it afterward we went outside and decided to go go-karting it was quite fun I’d never been go-karting and on our second race i come second after slowing rich down by T-boning him ha ha ha!

We then went on some of the free rides and stuff then went back to college and then home

Wednesday

We had to WRITE up an assigment on Butlins yes WRITE not type what the hell I could have all my work done and better quality on the PC but no we had to WRITE it up so none of us enjoyed that.
We had this sex education crap how to put on a condom and all that It was a little bit graphic just the words alone was making me feel sick but then she put the pics up (STD or STI infected stuff) I just couldnt look at it at all. Just the words green and discharage in the same sentence is enough to put you off sex for a week.

Thursday

Handed in our HAND WRITTEN assignment and we had a BBQ thats about all that happened that day…

Friday

Argh!! water leak we had an underground water pipe leak so instead of letting my grentz digg 3 really deep holes i decided to help out and do it well I did take pics but I cant get bluetooth to work I think I fried my bluetooth dongle… damn!

Today

I’m going up outwell to sort gems PC out when she picks me up lol

Have fun!
