Well it’s been the first week back at college and if I’m honest with myself I really think I’ve enjoyed it. I am doing Networking/techie stuff for the whole year which I love doing. Didn’t do a lot Monday mostly talking and stuff then we finished early enough for me to get to work to finish at 7 so I got the whole evening to play with.

Tuesday is a Optional day it’s normally your day off but for me and 8 others it’s an extra qualification called A+ by CompTIA (Computing Technology Industry Association) it’s a industry recognized qualification:

Topics of the Core examination include IRQs, direct memory access, practical computer repair, including installing or repairing: hard drives, modems, network cards, CPUs, power supplies, printers, and so forth. The focus of the exam is not theory, but practice. Sometimes graphics are used in exam questions. Topics included in the Operating Systems Exam include: memory management, configuration files, and historical operating environments rather than the cutting edge, newer technologies. (Wikipedia)

So it’s right up my street basically. Wednesday I had off so I washed the car then built a diluter which is like a bottle added to the hose pipe so I can spray car shampoo straight onto the car hmmm I’ll go get a pic…

So that was fun making lol… Thursday was a b*tch and it really did take it out of me, Friday was all right too so yeah im pretty happy with the layout of the time table apart from Thursdays but that’s fine I’d rather have one hard day lol.

Been testing some new anti-spam software for my blog called  Defensio im currently BETA testing it overall its not too bad but its let in a little bit of spam… but it is new so…

This morning I got up at 7am trying to get myself back in the routine ready for college which I start on Monday, I got up had a shower then had a play about with my cars sub which I’ve built a false floor and mounted the sub within the floor to hold it in place (pics coming soon). After I finished with that I decide to drive up town to see what I had in the bank for petrol and stuff.

I got into town (totally forgot it was Friday - Market Day) and parked up next to a modded ford fezzy and walked up to Natwest. Well there was a woman who pushed in front, didn’t bother me too much as I stood and waited for her to go I noticed the door was covered top to bottom in “translucent white stuff” And I though to myself “Why would someone do that?”

The woman then left and it was my turn as I approached the ATM I noticed it also was covered in white stuff in-fact the whole bank was, I don’t know what it was and I didn’t really want to know what it was so I entered my pin printed off a mini statement and then walked back to the car still wondering why anyone would feel the need to cover a bank in white stuff.

So after that I waited a while then at 10.30 I set off to go see Amy for the day, I got there at 11 then we set off to Boston, parked up in college car park since we are students then walked into town did some shopping, I finally used that £10 voucher college give me when I won an award in first dip. I bought some clothes and paper, pen and stuff for college. I think I’ve spent over £100 getting college stuff which isn’t too bad.

We briefly met up with Rich and Terri, Terri went off to lesson so then we walked back to the cars and said bye and I went to Amy’s house for a bit. Then we noticed what time it was I had to get to work, and she had to go pick up her sister from school so we both rushed off. I got home with 10 minutes to spare which wasn’t too bad.

So that’s all that has happened today not a bad day really great being with Amy! This weeks been slow, someone broke into the Windmill well there’s nothing in there for anyone unless they want over 10 tones of pigeon sh*t pathetic! So I had to fit a new lock inside the mill and stuff Nana decided to come inside to and piss me off, I could of done everything required on my own with no problems.

In one way I can’t wait to get back to college to see my mates, the staff and to get out the house!

Goodnight
