~ Boredness ~
Well well well....I'm very bored!!
Just had a nice Sunday roast where I told my mum that I could get NUS discounts if I had driving lessons with BSM in Portmsouth (I looked it up earlier on the net). I was just telling her cos I thought she'd be interested, I wasn't asking for her to pay for more lessons or anything, but my dad got really stressed and said "well there's no point having any more lessons if you're not even going to take the test".....Shock horror, I DO PLAN ON TAKING THE TEST WHEN I'M READY, but he's obviously extremely bitter that they paid for my driving lessons before (as a birthday present) and I didn't take the test (mainly because I suck). It just really annoyed me because the way he said it was like I had CHOSEN not to take the test when I had the chance, which is just stupid. If my instructor had mentioned it AT ALL then I would have been happy to try (even though I personally don't think I would have been ready) but he didn't ever say anything about it and you're supposed to wait for them to tell you that you're ready. I'M VERY SORRY FATHER DEAREST THAT YOUR MONEY WAS SPENT IN VAIN. Ugh, my mother also seems to think that I wasted their money, and is all annoyed that I brought up the subject, but it's not like I'm a complete beginner and have to start from square one again is it??? I still pretty much remember what I learnt before, and if I have lessons again it shouldn't (hopefully) take too many before I can take the test. But anyway, Jesus, I won't be bringing that up again as it's obviously such a touchy subject.
Anyway, on a brighter note, I had a lovely day yesterday. I went to Homebase with mother to buy a clothes rail (there isn't really space in my new room for a proper wardrobe) and she dropped me off at Emma's house. We chatted about Stewart (as per usual) and how they'd had a big argument and almost broken up and she'd moved all of her things out of his house. I'm not kidding myself that it's actually over between them though, no matter how many complaints she has about him and how he treats her. Even if she has moved out of his house they'll still see each other all the time at work, and she's already gone back to Exmouth because of a staff meeting at spoons without anywhere to stay for the next few days, so no doubt she'll end up staying with him. It was a nice surprise to find out that she was at home though, and it's always lovely to see her. We watched a video of her sister's gcse dance class performing their set dances and choreographies and it was in the same hall that we did ours in, so it brought back some scary memories! *eek* Victoria is SUCH a good dancer though, she stood out so much from the others, and she got an A* in her set dance :)
Annie came over to Emma's too a bit later on and we watched the X-factor (lmao) which is always a barrel of laughs, I'm so addicted!! Then we went to the Moon & Stars in Penge and met JennyB, JennyT, Clare, EmmaK and Christine and it was soooo much fun :):):) Emma (Studd) introduced us all to strawberry beer and pear cider which were both reaaaaaally yummy, and she talked endlessly about the menu and the new drinks that were coming in and the quality of the service (lol, bless her enthusiasm!).
I'm gonna miss all of them soooo much when I go back! :(
JennyB has moved out of her house and into Clare's, and has started college doing Philosophy and Business Studies which is really good :) I'm worried about her though because her dad's really not giving her enough money to live on and she doesn't have another source of income :( I think it's so brave that she moved out and is being independent and taking control of her life though, I just hope she's not struggling to find money. I wish I could help but I'm already in debt and have to pay my tuition fees and pay John back the £250 I owe him and a million other things.
I reallyyyyyyyyyy need a job :(:(:( Since last Monday I've been working as a lunch-lady/lunch-supervisor at my mummy's school in Blackheath (lol) which has earned me a little bit of money (better than nothing). It's been quite fun as far as jobs go, the children are all adorable and all the staff are really nice, and I don't have to wear a tabard or a hairnet or anything embarrassing like that ;) They actually have really nice food considering it's school dinners, the staff get free food and it's always really yummy! I have to try and make sure the little ones are eating all their veggies!! I only work from 11:30 until 2:00 so I leave the house at about 10am (not TOO bad) and get the 54 there and back. Bus fares are so expensive though, I didn't realise they don't do returns anymore, so you have to get 2 singles and it's just so much!
The bus takes about 45 minutes each way so I'm trying to do some reading, I've FINALLY finished one of the books for the gothic module, called 'The Castle of Otranto' which was SO INCREDIBLY DULL THAT I FELL ASLEEP EVERY TIME I TRIED TO READ A PAGE. Coming back from Blackheath one day last week I was trying to read it and my eyes kept closing and my elbow was leaning on the window with my head resting on my hand, and then I nodded off and my head fell and hit the window really loudly like CONKKKKK and I woke up and ohhhh it was so embarrassing cos there were loads of people sitting behind me and it must have looked so stupid!!! Oh the shame!!!
I can't believe I've only read one book, I just HOPE that the others are more interesting, otherwise I think I might actually die trying to get through them all. I've decided to give myself a break from ye olde fashioned style of elaborate annoying language and I'm reading a Sherlock Holmes one now, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles', which doesn't look too bad.
Anyway, blab blab blab, I feel like I've been typing this entry forever!!!
I'll try and briefly update the rest of my news.
I hear John & Simon are having a whale of a time in Dubai in the sizzling heat, playing with speedboats!!
Thomas has fractured his finger as a result of tripping over Alice's foot yesterday when they were play-fighting *shakes head* kids these days!!
I've got a week left as a lunch-lady and then mother's driving me to Portsmouth on Sunday (not sure when lectures actually start but I have to enrol on the 5th). I'm kinda scared about this year because it sounds like hard work and that's not something I'm very good at!!! I could have given myself a headstart and READ SOME BOOKS rather than taking forever reading just one, but no, it wasn't to be :( But at least I've read one, and hopefully Sherlock Holmes won't take long, and that's more than I read last year, so I still have hope!
Ummmmm I think that's all my news, as usual nothing very exciting, but I was bored so I thought I'd take the opportunity to bore everyone else with my ramblings ;)
Hope anyone reading this (if anyone actually does read it???!!) is okayyyyy.
