  • Gawd blind! I havent updated since TUESDAY??????? Mind you, I been so busy its frightening. I’ll start from the beginning.


    Tuesday: OK, I had JUST finished my Blogging for the night when lo and behold, my nose ERUPTED into the worst nosebleed I have ever had. THREE HOURS STRAIGHT. I nearly fainted.


    I think it was my body’s way of saying:


    “HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME DRINK SO MUCH CAFFEINE OVER SUCH A SHORT SPACE OF TIME AND LET ME GET SIX HOURS SLEEP OVER FIVE DAYS! NOW YOU WILL SUFFER YOU B@$!^&D!!!!!”


    Great. Even my physical form hates me.


    Anyway, on to:


    Wednesday: Went to school feeling faint and crappy and ill. Not at ALL prepared for this IT exam. Anyway we got in the exam hall and sat down, preparing for a killer 1-hour paper on the inner workings of computers.


    I was finished in 8 minutes.


    8 MINUTES. 8 FREAKIN’ MINUTES! I COULD HAVE DONE IT IN BED AND E-MAILED IT TO SCHOOL IF I WANTED TOO!!!!!


    As you can tell, i was pissed off AND feeling poorly. And with me, that is NEVER a good combination…..


    At least work went mildly well. I sorted that problem with my DM and my friend. We had to really, as me and Amanda work together more than most people in our place. So we kinda know each other well enough to work out how the other works. Makes life easier.


    When I got home I met Kevin for the first time. he’s a diamond bloke, he really is. He’s got a GREAT sense of humour, and he supports the same football team as me.


    Bonus ^^


    Anyway, THEY had MY room and MY comfy duoble bed, while I slept on the floor in the study. Well, I didnt sleep….because I was revsising for….


    Thursday: FRENCH ORAL DAY!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    HELP ME GOD!!!!!


    I spent all first two periods in the Library, but I just COULDNT revise. In the end I wound up having a chat with my friends.


    Far more constructive, anyways ^_^


    Well, anyway, my oral.


    Meant to be ten minutes long, 50% presentation, 50% made-up convo.


    My Oral: 30 seconds of presentation, NINE AND A HALF MINUTES of improvised talk.


    And yet i STILL managed to do it.


    There IS a god :D


    The rest of the day was a blur of work, work, and more work.


    Then we get to:


    Friday: Well, woke up today feeling a lot better, and actually WOKE UP cheerful. Went in to school for four lessons, then RUSHED home on the bus. I got home at 1:30, and RAN to work.


    You see, we were meant to be having a team-building BodyPump Aerobics session, and the others i havent been able to make because of school. So I REALLY wanted to make this one. Well, i get there with 5 minutes to spare to be told……


    “Oh, its been cancelled, two of the instructors are ill”


    :-(


    Anyways, i worked out. First time I’ve worked out properly in a LOOOOOOOOOONG time.  It was also Nick Jone’s leaving celebration o when i was cleaned up I headed down. Nick is one of, if not THE, best duty managers at Redwood. Anyway, lots of cake was consumed and a good time was had by all.


    Especially when we threw him into the pool.


    the rest of the day at work FLEW by, and soon I was in the Redwood lodge cinema, watching Charlie angels. I love that film.


    Lucy Liu in belly-dancer outfit….AYE CHEEWOWA!!!!!!!


    Also, I got my tickets for Cali :-D :-D:-D!! Departing London Gatwick at 12:30 GMT, arrving San Francisco at 15:30 California time on August the first :-D !!!!


    I CANT WAIT!!!!


    Also, my weblog has had 100 hits!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hi Scott,

    Thank you for looking at my blog.  I look forward to what you have to say about how the foot and mouth epidemic has affected your life.  Do you work for a resort?  The name, Redwood Lodge, makes me ask that. Claudia
