May 26th 2007 I’m Famous

Been getting a lot of comments from college some rather childish to say the least from people I don’t even know that’s the best part oh well. Thanks for the publicity I love you (Nat dip year 2’s) too! So yes moving along… What’s happened this week well not a lot really most of its car stuff and i mean i could go on for ages about what I’ve to the car this week but the short version is I’ve fitted my refurbed alloys there some pic’s here: http://www.tomwrote.info/photos/album/car/

Took them up Monday and got the first 2 fitted and balanced then Tuesday took up the second lot and got them done too, no paint came off so that means I did them properly woo hoo. So yes there fitted… err what else… Oh sorted the hand brake out and booked it in for MOT Tuesday morning so I won’t be in college in morning depending on if it passes or fails… i’ve got a few things to check still but I think it will pass.

The college life’s been pretty good though made up with Amy we are now talking lol and errrm other things… lol… college works perking up abit now got more motivation to get things done which is good keeping up with most of my assignments not started my latest CM assignment yet and HCI just bores me to death… its not the tutor its the subject its so dry.

Work is going alright overtime all next week + exam oh how stressed am I gonna be? Got a lot of web design work too which ads up to the stress jus got to prey my car passes its MOT first time *prays* I guess that all for now god I can’t wait to get to spain away from everything lol

May 16th 2007 Still chugging along

Slowly and surely I am getting there, college is really boring me i need more motiv(ATION) CM is not really helping either baring in mind that LSU cant teach any higher then that basicas so i’m stuck in the middle with my maths. I could be asking to go into my keyskills maths exam soon to get that outta the way and hopefully passing that will give me some more motivation to do stuff.

Today I went into college for about 11.35 (Stuck in traffic) we had a pratical exam  where we had to clean a pc and keyboard etc not that fun but pretty straight forward. Then i drove home in the horrible wet rain and started to laquer my alloy, the tyres have been ordered Toyo Proxes low profile too - plenty of grip in the wet and dry.

Been doing some work on the car gotta sort out my + battery terminal clip and add a new one because the current one jumps off every so often. Man the rain we been getting its not the best weather to paint in but im currently painting in the garage with the door 1/4 open. Got work later on as normal last night I was there for an extra 15 mins hoovering because hey ripped some old heaters out and there was dust and plaster everywhere lol.

Urgh that stuff we was using today like the cleaning wipes was geting into my throat making me cough least its stopped now though. Oh and yesterday marshall got me to make up with amy over emails we aint spoke yet but I guess it be nice to talk to her again and hug her and stuff lol. I really gotta start going to the gym and go on a diet oh and stop snacking im getting a little chunky :(

I really cant wait to get my alloys all finished and fitted the handling should be alot better and they improve when they been worn in too woo!  i need to find something to keep myself entertainedonce there finished or I could try and get back doing my college work I mean i’m getting sys just sorte, and lang comms but hci and cm i just have no interest in and i think thats due to feeling that im gonna fail CM thus fail the course.

CM is a core module and failing that will fail the course and any chance for uni, maths has never been my strong point ever but it is improving some things I can pick up something like algbra goes right over my head and is USELESS in life. Why do we “learn” something we wont use or will use a calculator to work it out?

Who the hell does maths our age in there heads in the real world? Nobody (or a very small percentage) Its not economical, mistakes are made easier thus we use a thing called a CALCULATOR! Imagine using your head at a till the lines would be… shocking. I might pass the assignments but the exam will be the let down like any exam i’ll fail it.

it will be GCSE’s all over again and it will go right over my head and come out with a stupid mark of 10 outta 50 lol (its happened before in my life) my head begining to hurt now *sigh* better post some videos lol:

May 6th 2007 Lack of Motive

Dunno whats going on right now but I just don’t seem to have any motivation to do anything really right now I don’t know if its because of the over time I been doing at work or what but its pissing me off… Things at college have been sorted we are all friends again so thats good.

Thats how much i felt of blogging 2 days ago lol, well i’ve been busy! Well i’ll start from Sunday, my first ever 306 meet! I brought claire with me and we drove down to Nottingham, I was the first one there then everyone just convoyed in lol. heres some pics I took!

We got a pretty good turn out 11 cars and 12 at one point really nice day that was. Then it was back to college back to normal but I just can’t get motivated to do any work right now… *sigh* I don’t kow if thats because I been doing alot of overtime at work and its been killing me or what but im off overtime now and i’m at work tonight and tomorrow off.

Thursday I ventured out to find some car sprayers because I wanted my front bumper grill etc doing but they quoted me £150 screw that! So i bought some GTi 6 alloys instead for an absolute bargin £114 for 5 alloys! they normally go for £180 and thats just for 4 alloys!
Im gonna take them to boston and get the tires taken off them and start a refurb on themits gonna be a darker grey ony slightly darker then the ca, I dont like black alloys so they wont be black.. or dark grey (damn i’m picky) I guess thts it really nothing else apart from the fact that I travelled all the way to sandy to pick them up! Oooo up the motorway pretty fun stuff.
