Mon 6th July

5am. Woke with a start and was absoloutely terrified for some reason. That shortly subsided to annoyance at an incessant rooster. Finally got up at 7a.m no thanks to my alarm clock that didn't go off. Packed my day bag and went down to breakfast that was fried egg, 'sausage'(not sure what meat it was) and toast.

We then all crammed into an ambulance that drove us to S.t Francis. No seatbelts and bumpy road made for an interesting ride, who needs Alton towers?, and when we arrived at St. Francis Vikcy fell out the ambulance, leaving her shoe behind. Mixed emotions walking around St. Francis.



All the people there were really nice and friendly and the centre was an excellent place, really helping people with HIV/AIDs. however, we were invited into wards where there were sick patients and that felt really awkward and also a bit emotional. We were then given a tour of where we were gonna build our garden and saw some school children walk past who were so cute and greeted everyone of us. Then we had lunch and for the first time had Matoke, which was really nice! Also had maize, which was a bit tasteless so not sure if i'll eat that again. When the woman was telling us what all the different foods were she introduced the normal boiled potatoes as 'Irish'! Lol.

We then had a mini-cirlce time then went to a school. The building looked quite run down (we later found out that it was only a two year old building) and there were signs in the school yard that were really disturbing: 'Avoid sugar daddies', 'Don't accept gifts for sex', 'Virginity is safe', 'avoid bas touches', 'defilement is bad'.



The children in this school were about 5 so it's terrifying to think that these things are so common but children wouldn't know better if peadophilia wasnt so blatantly discouraged in education.

When we walked into a class the children would stand up and sing a welcome song to you, they were all so cute and friendly. You feel like such a celebrity when you are welcomed in such a way.

Just outside the school and health centre are some huge arse cows and goats just wondering around.



We came back home on the ambulance with a bit less drama this time and after being back for about 10mins we discover Vicky is locked in the toilet(she was that happy that they flushed =p), though none of the teachers seemed to care so all us students were there to give her moral support by passing her books toblerone and singing to her. When Sufian finally decided to show some compassion there were dodgey renditions of Hero, Wheels on the bus, Cupid Shuffle and in the Jungle. Vicky tried to film how she got stuck in the toilet (the handle has come off and wasnt turning the mechanism) though while she was explaining what was wrong with the handle she was filming the toilet wall. The hotel staff were eventually able to take a handle from another room and relase Vicky from the toilet, she must have been in there for about 40 minutes altogether. After another circle time we had dinner (the food is unbelievably good!), where a whole load of bats flew over, collected sports equipment to give to Sally and are now everyone is gathered in my room playing cheat.

5th July

So here is the first entry in my Uganda diary. It has been changed slightly because reading it back you could tell from my terrible english that it had been a long journey. Enjoy =]

I think it is fair to say that at the end of today most of us are tired, stressed and freaked-out. Or maybe that's just me and Sas after having that horrid bug in our room that we eventually had to kill, but back to the start: Heathrow.



After taking the scenic route to terminal 3 because me, mum and dad got lost we had to stand around a while until check in. Many people were breaking down as leaving your parents to go to uganda is a big thing and in the check-in queue i had to avoid the tears of others to avoid being set-off (again). Luckily, there were also some hot guys, code named 'hot dogs', to distracts us. After various intervals of walking and waiting we finally got on our first flight to Dubai.

The in-flight entertainment was unbelievably amazing! You could listen to music, watch films and tv shows. The music was friggin' amazing: Queen, Led Zepplin, Supertramp, David Bowie. I also watched hercules (well, skipped to the songs) and live at the apollo and i even found an episode of Blackadder!! <3 I didnt sleep on the flight although nearly everyone else did. I was sitting next to sas who fell asleep during the aristocats and woke every so often. The airplane was freezing and being tired makes it worse so i gave Sas my blanket.

Got off at Dubai to change over so found a toilet to change my top because i had split mango juice down my white vest =[ Got on to go to Addiss ababu (or something like that) where we would re-fuel and go onto entebbe. Slept through most of this flight but was rudely awoken for food and my malaria tablet. Met Erin and Melissa at Entebbe where we were told that our coach ride would be an hour and a half. Most people slept more on the coach but i couldn't. It was amazing driving through Uganda, such a pretty place (unbeleivably green) but you could see the poverty just from the road side. Lots of coke shops/ads, not sure if they were a good or bad thing. Our 1hr30min trip turned into 3 hours and we got to our hotel really late, but good news: there were flushing toilets!



Me and Sas were right on the top floor so i had to heave my 28kg suitcase up 6 flights of stairs while Sufian carried saskia's up. Went back down for a really nice dinner and told that lights out was at 10pm (it's now 10.20). The people living on our floor are listening to the most terrifying horror film, it's really creepy.

There was also a crazy bug in our room and me and sas hid in her bed under the mosquito net for about 10mins whilst deciding how to get rid of it. It was buzzing about by my suitcase and i was terrified. In the end i took on a superviser role and persuaded saskia to go out and spray it before squishing it with my sandal and scooping it up. Had a 'shower' a.k.a a drip of water that couldnt decide whethter to be hot or cold. After a bit more of a dilemma trying to figure out how Saskia's mossy net covered her bed saskia has discoverd that her shampoo has exploded in her bag, "God, it's everywhere", and she still hasnt had a shower. Things can only get better =]

Guess who's back...

So I am back in England and feeling a mixture of 'it's nice to be home' but also missing Uganda, those two weeks were not long enough!

As i arrived at heathrow at 7am this morning im kinda tired and not gonna do a proper blog yet, just post the collective one from lsfc website that we wrote

http://www.lutonsfc.ac.uk/greatgenerations/GGBlog.html

Did keep a journal, though it sort of fizzled out and i stopped writing it during the second week so that needs to be caught up, so to blog I'll basically copy that up for each day. So stay tuned!! =]

It's Been A Long Time Coming.

^(I love The Script! =])
It has been an extremely long-time since I have blogged and I feel slightly ashamed, where's my perseverance?!?!

So, a couple of weeks ago, I took what is fair to say the most stressful exams of my life so far. Been getting my results back slowly and fair to say a mixed bag. I dont plan to do Maths, Spanish or Biology and my results definately confirmed that! However, I do want to do History and my Paper 3 did not reflect that in anyway. Let's hope my paper 1 is substantially better (It couldn't really get worse.)

Yesterday, I got my last Jab ready for Uganda, 8/8 and i f***ing hate needles. It is only 2 weeks 'til we go, I can't believe it has come round so quick!! Flight there is 13hrs + a 2hr change over. I don't think the reality of the situation has really sunk in yet but when i do think about it i do feel quite nervous yet excited. Don't know what to expect but i know that i do have to squat over a hole to go to the toilet. What joy. >_<

I have also started driving recently. Being taught by my parents and it is going quite well so far. Started off a bit dodgey and extremely stressful but today I drove halfway from Bedford (only while it was dual carriage way and could be overtaken). First time in fifth gear and on roudnabouts and up to 55m/h. Not really smooth but we'll brush over that =p

I Say Britian...

You Say Talent. That is still in my head from all that time. And i think everyone in the world should have a gold suit like his. And learn to dance like the 73year old!

I really didnt have much to write, i have been revising like mad for stupid mocks and been rather stressed. Why do i need to know about American history? It's not like they're a big, important country nowadays... =s

So, i havent really left the house, except to give moral support to parents at University of bed. while they take exams (and getting sunburnt in the process), going to the gym and going to ASDA to get yummy chocolate cake and suntan lotion. I have, however, been watching Britians got Talent (i'm like an old spinster =s) And i think Susan Boyle is a bit overrated. Don't get me wrong she is a pretty good singer but a world-wdie success, hmmnn.... Shaheen was better and cuter. And shaun was hotter and picked a damn good song! Hollie, bless her, nearly bought me to tears. And i love Greg, perverse as that is. But he didnt get through :( The two dance groups are amazing but might not win just because votes for dance groups are split into two: half to each. So no group getting the full votes of dance group lovers. I am scarred for life by dreambears, especially the wardrobe malfunction! Anywhoooo. that is enough of my opinions. You all have your own and probably don't give a crap about me.

But one day im wanna try the ferero roche challenge. (maybe i should learn how to spell Ferrero roche first)

I should be revising...

...Yep, ive done very little revision for our exams in two weeks. Though my tutor things i've been pretty much sticking to a revision timetable... =s It wasnt a total lie, at least i have a timetable. After our talk in History i may just revise for that because i can imagine Dave getting angry if i dont do well in the History mock...And he is scary/angry Dave for a reason!

Yesterday i went to Luton Uni to sell cakes. Saskia's third person account of the day was very interesting, you should read that (because i cant be asked to re-tell it) Though i did no squatting whatsoever!! However, that day i also ate way too many cakes. Especially as all day i had only had 5 choccy hobnobs for breakfast then five cupcakes and a McDonalds for lunch. Not good. Though decorating cakes was fun.

Anyone, i really REALLY should be revising. And as i have already watched Gilmore Girls today i have no other reason for procrastinating. =]

Stick a Needle in my...

Not Eye, luckily (at least, not as far as i know)

So it turns out we are definately going to Uganda!! YAY =] But the down side to this is injections =[ I hate injections so much. I remeber in year 10 when we had to have them and sanum sat next to me in English telling me my arm was going to drop off, i was scared as hell. (and thanks again for that Sanum =p)
I went to my doctors today and spoke to a really ncie nurse about what i need done. About 5 injections! >_< I dont wanna do it!!!! But i have to put on a brave face and get them done, especially if my parents come with me because i dont want to look like a whimp in front of them :(
But injections are ridiculously expensive! Hepetitis B is £92!!!! But i think my life is worth £92. plus about £70 worth of malaria tablets £45 for Yellow fever and whatever a rabies injection may cost!

I am getting my Yellow fever done on a week Saturday at 9.15am (and rabies if i need it) at Hitchin so if there are no signs of life from me that weekend its because i am whimpering in bed (But if i dont tweet, that's when you know it is bad!)

Falling into that beautiful thing called love

(Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, cant-live-without-each-other love).
ATTRACTIONS, FLIRTATION, EUPHORIA, DOUBT, THE TRUTH
(the longer the better)
...And so dance around it. You draw it out. You tease towards love.
This is pure physical poetry. It's the thrill of communicating by give and take, the simple charm of tugging at another heart and waiting (hoping) for a response.
It's the improbably joyous celebration of going absolutely nowhere for a long, long time... all in anticipation that you're actually on your way (slowly, tiptoe-ingly) to somewhere truly marvellous...

WTF?! You're a Galaxt bar: 'GALAXY Never stop falling in love...'
Seriously?!?...Though it was some damn good chocolate! The cookie crumbel one is reallllly nice! :)

"28th" of April

So i made this vlog yesterday, but as editing it and publishing it took quite a long time yesterday and it was late and i wanted to sleep i couldn't be bothered to put it up. So here it is now

WooHoo

So this morning i got up earlyish to play netball and for once we had 7 players and didnt need a guest and, even more surprising, we won!! Whoop Whoop! =] I personally think i played quite well, though playiing centre is slowy going to kill me.

Then, after having a shower and getting something to eat, i went into town. When i got there it was quite empty but as i went outside through Primark there was a rather large crowd at the town hall...I am assuming that it was the day Luton had their civil siting of their Johnstone's Trophy, especially as there were loads of people wondering around with Hatter's shirts on. Finished buying my mum's birthday present and got a new, massive bag so i can lug all my crap around college. Then, in HMV, i saw that they sold the Jeff Dunham DVD set, was amazed. Though £8 more expensive then off of Amazon. Going to wait for my next EMA, just incase i need the money in my bank at the moment, and order it. Cannot wait =] Excited about watching it already.

Be Our Guest

Im just gonna dive straight into this blog!

Friday i got up at 4.30am....Way too early for my liking but was surprisingly alert at that time of the morning. This was for a collection in Cannon Street station to raise money for our Uganda project. It was extremely tedious standing there for ages. Then had a massive 6 hour break before doing a secon dshift at evening peak time so wasted about three hours in McDonalds before it got to the stage where they were on the verge of kicking us out. We then went and wasted a couple more hours in starbuck before going back to the station for more collecting. After dropping Saskia off got home, had food and went straight to bed, at like 9.30pm, though i did watch one episode of A Bit of Fry and Laurie before going to sleep. Didnt get up this morning until 10. That is about 12 hours sleep ^_^

Today i counted the money from the collection and there turned out to be £67. Better than i thought but was £67 quid worth a 4.30 wake-up and 13hour stint in London? Im leaning towards no!

After that i went with my Auntie and cousins to see beauty and the beast in Stevenage. I thought it was really good, my company were not so amused. But i suppose a 7 and 10 year old boys' taste isnt men dancing around in tights...Though mine it was =p There was a really hot dancer guy that i spent most of the time watching...Lol, what a perv! ^_^ We were really close to the stage, about 5 rows back, and right in the middle so it was a really good view. The little girl behind me got scared the first time she saw the beast, bless her. And when he transformed from Beast to Handsome(well....=s)Prince and him and Bell kissed you could feel the disgusting of all the kids who thought that was 'icky' as you do when you are a young age! There were only two songs they hadnt change all the words to: Be Our Guest and Gaston's song (though he wasnt Gaston but Aston) So they were the only two i could sing along to. They guy that played the dutchesses' assitant and eventually assumed the role that was basically Lumiere was quite cool. With one of those working class london cockney type accent (oliver style) though slightly camp and a cool hat and therefore the only one of the cast with a hat that could tip it in the choreography of the whole cast. They were obviously also confused as one song was over the music to Topsy Turvy from the Hunchback of Notre Dame....Someone had obviously got their Disney films in a pickle! Overal i did thoroughly enjoy it. =]

Got back and watched Britain's got Talent and do wonder at how dillusion some people are! There should be a question mark at the end of the title. Though the little boy at the end, Shaheen, was amazing! After that i watched a film called The Bucket List with my parents which was a really good film, highly recommended, but you may want some tissues if you do watch it!

"I Will Never Blink"

My biggest achievement recently was the devourment of two eggs and their six little chocolate bar accompaniments in two days. Though i payed for that by feeling quite sick.

BUT, i have discover a new genius of comedy who i am now totally in love with: Jeff Dunham (or Jeffafa dunHAM). He is this unbelievably amazing ventriloquist and he and his little buddies are side-splitting, pant-wetting hilarious!



(^ Is only first part)

I have also just finished watching the Doctor Who easter special on the iPlayer. Lee Evans and his Welsh accent was unbelievable! And i want David Tennant to sit next me on a bus and give me his easter egg! :( Oh well...

Because you had a bad day...?

No such thing! Most of my days lately have been pretty god damn good.

I do apologise that i have not blogged, or 'vlogged', in a while. Im just extremely lukcy that i am still alive! Let me walk you through some of the higlight (and lowlights) of the last couple of days.

Saturday was our talent show so got up ridiculously early to go to the gym ebfore getting to college for 12.30 (well more like 12.45 when i got there). I walked into a group of guys trying to move the piano to the front of the stage, what a sight! Good news was that *whispers* magic man was back in, he also bought a friend who, we eventually found out, could swing fire on those funny rope things, it was amazing! We had a couple of run through before 4 where we got a break before returning back at 6 for our final show. Overall, it was amazing. All the acts were outstanding and the whole night went really well! Tidying up afterwards, however, which provided the most humour! I spent my saturday night cleaning up Doritos because some people obviously couldnt clean up after themselves. I then discovered some hot chocolate that had developed it's own culture that i cleared up. I got a whole three steps from the top of the piano before it leaked every where and i had to try and get the liquid in the bag into a plastic cup, as there was no bin handy, and any bit of dignity i may have had was cruelly stripped away from me at that moment! There was some controvery with the leaflets aswell: 'it's not like they're tampons' LMFAO.

Sunday i went to the gym and spent most of the day sleeping and eating.

Monday we had to stand in town all day with charity boxes, it must have been the most tedious thing i have ever done in my whole entire life! Me and saskia got split up at one point, =[, making it even more unbearably boring. We then spent a lot of time 'discussing' other people and justifying our actions on those of the Unicef people. There was a scary homeless man in roosters, he was behind me so i couldnt see what he was doing either, i dont think i have ever been so scared in my life!! >_< We then spent an hour in HMV when we were supposed to be doing a shift (it was 5-6, who the hell is in town to mug at that time?)

Since that eventful day ive not done much though the most exciting news is:....

I MAY BE GETTING QI TICKETS. Im on a waiting list for May 15th so fingers crossed i could be off to Qi! =]

I am currently watching weight-lifting. =S Not sure how that happened, is a contrast to friends which is what we watched before weightlifting.

Vlog, Blog or....

...Die?! Yikes *gulp* Lets not go for that option aye?!

I know this is sort of cheating but i will make up for it! :)

And what's a monetise?

Wheres the G?

No Sanum, not you!

The 'g' key is being gay and not working properly so i keep getting words without their 'g's! :(

If i type out a string of words with 'g' in them i'll show you how rubbish it is being!

Gay (funny how that works) gym oin having giraffe ay (not that time thouh) anry gazelle...Im runnin out of words... grace rapple, rape (lmoa, that is supposed to be grape) orge ame glue ot forgot forgive fishin gan rowl.

So it is extremely tempermental! Grrrr >_<

Whoop Whoop

The last couple of days have been pretty darn awesome!

Friday i went to London to the top universities fair and got totally swept up in a hawaiin accent. Thouhg i felt would would have been really inappropriate to propose to him :( Lol. There were also Australians and Paddys there, which was awesome...Though no Kiwi's. And the scanning system provided some amusement: "Can i scan you?" "Noone's ever asked me that before."

Then went to Covant Garden to find awesome candy and did some mother's day shopping. There were also some strane but slightly amusing street acts. We then went to Westfields and had the most amazing milkshakes ever! I had a milkshake, creme egg and chocolate sauce milkshake...So delicious! We did miss the 5pm train so stayed in westfield where i got The Armstrong & Miller Show and the Qi book of animal ignorance from HMV. I also purchased some cool shorts and a kermit T-shirt from New look. Got back to Luton for about 7.30 and it felt so inadequate compared to London!

Today was the day of my 5K which turned out to be amazing! It was in Milton Keynes around a lake which was absoloutely beautiful and it was such a nice day! The course was a little bit longer than i expected but i did it in about 32mins so i was happy with that. A lady there gave me a fiver for our Uanda project aswell! :) Dad and Jacob, in his T-shirt, went round together as well. And mum came 10th.

After that i watched the rugby. France beat Italy. We beat Scotland, wasnt as good as our match vs. France last week but we still played well! Then Ireland and Wales played it was unbelievably tense. Ireland had to win to get a Grand Slam for the first time in 61years but the last kick of the match was a penalty to Wales which would have got the win for them. But stephen Jones missed it, and i felt quite sorry for him, but Ireland did it! WOOH! :)

Sort it out...

I am slightly worried at my attitude lately. I feel that I am beginning to become some what of a last minute merchant. For example, I received psychology homework wednesday, just to finish an evaluation of Little Albert, that is due in tomorrow and i have yet to even look at it. This seems to have been the case with a lot of my homework latley and i am becoming kind of anxious. Despite my new fangled revision timetable i have done little work that i should be doing in advance. I really need to sort it out!
A psychological kick up the backside to myself is really needed.

Also, i have decided that i am going to eat healthier! I have possessed this thought for quite a while now, keeping it to myself, but have been extremely unsuccessful in such attempts. My thoughts of life without chocolate have been nothing but a plattitude so now i am announcing it: I AM GOING TO CUT DOWN ON JUNK FROM NOW ON (unless i really REALLY crave it). But i may need some help reinforcing this so if you do see staring lustily at a chocolate bar then snap me out of it, slap me if need be (but not too hard) Do not allow me to succumb to the temptation.

After that harsh talking to myself i should really go and do that psychology work but i think Dancing on Ice is on so the procrastination shall continue (just one little indulgance). Then tomorrow shall be the re-birth of my attitude.

Me Harteys...

Eventually a new blog :]


I have just realised that i am wearing the same jumper that i wore in my very first 'vlog'...Lol

Enough is Enough...

Was gonna just type a blog but have decided that i should reallykeep up the 'vlog' thing and will make a video so hopefully one will be here soon!

I Want To...

Break free from your lies im so self-satisfied, i dont need you.
Sorry listening to it and though it might make quite a good title, plus carry on the blogging of other peoples lyrcis =p

My new 'vlog':



Anywhoooo....Off to Watch Qi :)

My First Vlog

So this is my very first 'vlog'
Sorry, it may be a bit all over the place but hopefully they will get better!
Do enjoy though! =]



It is also quite long, but what can i say?...I have an eventful life! =]

Gay...

Blogger isnt letting me comment so i would just like to say LMFAO about the 'cocsuckingmoron' from the 9 year old, pure genius and also OMG DANNY GOKEY!! He was amazing and did have cool glasses! =]

Im slightly worried at all the death threats that i have been receiving from Sanum! The glasses are nice, and they were optician recommended so what more could you want?! I think you should blame him if you dont like them!

So, due to immense, crushing pressure from Sanum this may be my last blog, well written blog, as i am being encouraged to make a 'vlog' to tell you all about the exciting happenings and brilliant events that happen in my oh-so-exciting life.

So i have basically done nothing but sleep and do my homework since my last blog! I had an OMGMUSTTIDYEVERYTHING Moment Saturday morning so my room was spick span AND hoovered. Hasnt really lasted long though! I spent the rest of Saturday, and a bit of sunday sleeping. Though i did catch up with the latest Qi which has to have been one of the best things i have ever seen. Not only were Ben Miller and Rob Brydon on the show (and i love them both) But they kissed. In the words of Jack (will and Grace) H-I-Lari-O-U-S! =]

Wrote a book for kids about freud, one thing i really dont think should ever be done, but the illustrations around the class were brillaint! Saskia drew a really dodgey, simpsonesque drawing of Freud and then drew Mr Spoon as her Ego. Brilliant.

So there was lots of last minute homework going on Sunday and Today. Stayed up 'til about 11.30/12ish trying to do English and TOK for Tuesday and finally finished tonight! That TOK essay has to be the biggets pile of horse poop that i have ever had to write in an essay.

Today, though, a piece of pure genius was born:'A bit of Sanum-G and Shaunie. A new radical podcast that will be nothing short of legendary! And it rhymes...What more do you want?

Keep your eyes peeled for that one.

£££

I really have no clue any more when its my day to blog and when its not...
But i do think im overdue.

So, went to town yesterday with Chloe and Sas and we picked out a really hideous outfit for one another, a woolen dress with cats on it for Saskia had to be the pick of the day.

Then met up with Arron who had been wondering round town like a loon on his own bless him! =] He got to try on a really hideous green cardigan, it was horribly disgusting!! Then met up with Sanum to find glasses, it's not really fair that they make you try on glasses when you cant see, doesnt really make sense!! But the ones we picked out were she ended up with were V. Nice!! Trust us Sanum, we have taste: "You can never go wrong with Tommy"

Had a yummy meatball sub, which i havent had for ages. And spent a lot of the day trying on shoes. Sanum and Chloe went home so Arron, Saskia and I had to hang around in the town centre like hobo's to wait until 7 to go to Pizza Express, which was very yummy!!

Got home about 9 and sat up and watched Skins, which was amazing as usual!

Today, I got up early-ish to go to the gym then went into town to go "bowling". We ended up just playing pool and messing about in the arcade. Then went to McDonalds before buying some goodies from Tesco for sleep-over tonight and going home.

Currently watching Super 14's, waiting until 7 when i am going over to Chloe's.

Geesacu

Why do they have the silly 'Type in the word in the box above' check boxes when you try to post a comment on a blog?!
Is it to see if im disabled because...why? Because disabled who get it wrong are denied the right to blog, they cant e-communicate?!?! I think that is just plain discrimination, and the words are always so stupid. And not even funny stupid! >_<

On the plus side i bet you saw my title and were intriguied as to what could follow something so bizarre as 'geesacu'. Bet you're quite disappointed now though, Sorry! =]

Anywhoooo. Im rather tired so i feel that it is in yours and my best interest that i succumb to the sandman and drift off to sleep. ^_^

Night. xx

Academic 8-]

So today i was up at 8:30! 8:30 That's way too early though it was natural, not alarm induced, so i wasnt as tired as one might expect (I was in bed until 12 sunday so i think i may have had more than enough sleep this weekend)

Yesterday i went to town and spent way too much money! I bought A couple of tops, jeans, a pencil case, higlighters, a sharpener, a book and some underwear. Oh and some disgusting dates and nuts from Holland & Barrats for mum and dad! I then watched the Ireland rugby match before reading some more of my other book, The Husband by Dean Koontz, and wathing a bit of Fry and Laurie. What a life i have!!

Today i went to the gym and did 5km on the treadmill, and it wasnt total hell for 40 minutes so i was extremely happy! =]
I then hung around Bedford Uni while Dad had a lecture and wrote most of my psychology essay (which is now finished and typed up) I think i merged quite well with the university crowd, being so brainy and all that 8-p
Oh, and i player Sudoku. Carol Voderman watch out!

Overal a good day:
*in best ramsay voice*
Psych essay, done.
Lasagne, done (or eaten)
This blog, done =]

Oh...My...God

I just had a really scary experience taking Jacob out for a little walk before i went to bed.

Some dude was walking up the street and disappeared down the mini-passageway thingy that leads to the back of our street. I crossed the road because i was gonna take Jacob round the corner but saw that he was just waiting in the passageway so i decided i wasnt gonna take Jacob round the corner but go straight back home instead. As i walked back down the road i heard like some rustling and he walked back up and starting walking up the road on the opposite side to me. I though he was gonna attack me or something, it was well scary!!

Of course he didnt attack me as i am here writing this blo and he may have just been scared of dogs or something but seriously, WTF?! My heart has only just stopped beating really fast!! >_<

'Twas scary!! =[

Today I...

...Was glad it hadnt snowed really badly all night.

...Refuse to do any work, or any for the rest of the weekend
...May have a power nap, or just end up falling asleep on the settee during the rugby

Twit

So, thanks to Chris Moyles i am now a "twitter" and have become slightly obsessed! (i was on it until 11.30 last night =s)

So, not only was i really tired this morning when i woke up, i discovered my iPod was broken and i couldnt find my gloves! >_< Not a good start. So walked down Sockingstone, which was atrociously slippy, with cold hands and no music. =[

Thought i was late to History (after all i was at the turnstiles at 8.59 - the horror) But when i got there only three of us were present. Unnecessary panic. Was learing about Stalin but got an 'anyone else want to answer other than Shaunie' Geek much? 8-]

Rest of day was pretty ordinary. Stayed with saskia to wait for her violon lesson and had an intersting conversation about twitter...I will convert you!

My grandad drove past me on the way up Stockingstone so got a lift half way home! =] Although there was a strange beeping noise puzzling us - Turned out his phone was pressing buttons in his pocket, Lol!

Got home and had to take Jacob for a walk. Climbed over a rather precarious gate with some high school kids near by, could have been embarassing if it all went Pete Tong but successfully completed a gracious dismount!

Got an e-mail saying that my All Blacks shirt has been dispatched! Wooh *little dance*

Went on Apple site to see if i could find a solution to my iPods issues and the genius i am figured it out so my iPod is up and running again! =]

So overall a bad start but an excellent end!
Toodles =] x

What's the date today?

I dont actually know what the date is today but it has been about three days so ill blog.

As you know we had no college Thursday and Friday so i had two duvet days in a row. Brill!! So really havent got much to update you on there, although i am, slowly but surely, catccing up with House. Now Sanum cant tell me when someone dies, well wont be able to soon (has still got some leverage for now)

Joined Twitter after hearing about it on the Chris Moyles show and OMG i am following Stephen Fry, how amazing is that (if not kinda stalker-ish) Then ge an e-mail "Scott Mills is following ou on Twiiter" Followed by "James May is following you on twitter) How Awesome is that?!

Just watching rugby. England won but werent to convincing and an excellent game between Ireland and France, with Ireland coming out on top! =]

Football is Nil-Nil. Babel just had a shocking miss, Liverpool need to win this really.OH NO, Portsmouth have just scored, poop. =[

No Gerrard so goal in the 90th minute is less likely, but maybe if they bring Torres on they can come fro mbehind to win! *Fingers Crossed*

Anyway, you dont really give a crap about the rugby or the football so im gonna shut up! =]

Toodles x

Finally some common sense!!

Hoorah, Sixth Form has, for once in their lives, actually decided to close so i dont have to go in. And no patronising message: "college is open but the paths and roads are icy so do be careful on your travels" How patronisng!!

One thing: Why am i the only one of the 4 S' that is actually bloggin?! I feel there is some punishment involved, its only fair as i had to blog everyday for a month!!

So glad i dont have to go to college, simply because i dont think i could bear History after the Liverpool match!! What is up with the Ad Break!! I think that they cant count the gal as nobody actually saw it!! That's my story and im sticking with it ^_^

So my plan today is to try and stay in bed for as long as possible, only getting up to eat and pee. Will do some homework, should really tidy my room *looks round and shrugs* then going to watch some House and A Bit Of Fry and Laurie!! The day could not be better!!

Confused.com

I am officially confused!!

I am no longer sure whether it is my day to blog or not?! I know i have blogger but is that sufficient enough for my day as it was just a little update shaped treat?! I dont know...Im sure Sanum would say its not!! .....

I Love The Snow

I know its not my day to blog but i just wanna say i do love the snow!!

The news always goes on about 'bad weather' and the 'chaos' it has caused but the end result is it is bloody fun!!

Got let out of college early [though really shouldnt have had to gone in anyway) and due to some excellent timing to my parents avoided having to walk all the way up Stockingstone!!

Me and Mum took Jacob for a walk which was fun!! Jacob went absoloutley psycho and started eating the snow!! Me and mum had a snowball fight (I obviously won. Climbed over a gate without falling over which is a massive ahievement!! Then there were two blokes riding their bikes down Stockingstone and one just slid down the hill: 'My cluth has gone, ive got no brakes' But gave a massive cheer when they over took the car which must have been towed by a snail, thats the only solution i have to how slow it was going! Bless them!!

I love the Snow =]

I Am...

...Annoyed that i always go to press enter after writing my title and it saves an empty blog
...About to watch House online ^_^
...Bored (but the latter will solve that)
...All snuggled up in bed and not planning on getting out!!
...Considering whether it is worth getting off my arse now to turn of my alarm or endure the pain of it going off at 6.45am and getting off my arse to turn it off then
...Not contagious, and not dying of shingles or meningitus
...Not surpised that it was Lucas that gave away a penalty resulting in a draw against Wigan
...Contemplating whether to go to town tomorrow (I really facny a subway)
...Not looking forward to going to the gym tomorrow but
...in a strange way, looking forward to going to the gym tomorrow
...not looking forward to doing homework tomorrow
...glad there is no netball this weekend (its cold)
...yearning to play netball though!!
...Finished with this blog

Bring On The Trumpets

So, i think it is my day to blog, although saskia did blog earlier so i am slightly confused, though she never blogs on the right day so i think im good!! ^_^

So what has happened in my wild, epic, enthralling life....absoloutley nothing in the last three day.
"OMG Really," i hear you cry in shock. "How could that be Shaunie, when your life is more interesting then eastenders, hollyoaks, correy and holby city all rolled into one?" I totally understand the amount of shock that is currently overwhelming you, flooding through your veins as if a dam the size of hoover, holding back millions of gallons of surpirse, has just burst out of your Aorta pumped, with diastolic pressure, around your body but ihate to dissappoint you fellow bloggers [or sanum and saskia] that no oustandingly amazing, brilliantly enthralling, utterly encapsulating events have occured in the last three days!! =p

Basically, my netball game was conceded AGAIN on Saturday >_< so i went to the gym!!
And on Sunday, i went to the gym!

But ohh... I did apply for my provisional!! And i am also a registerded organ doner!! Who thought, one miunte im filling in a form for my license, next im picking body parts that i wish to donate in the event of my death!! Lol, i wonder if anyone will be willing to take my brain... Sas, we should try and figure that one out!!

Well, Well, Well...

Looks like I am the only one who has remembered to blog in our little cycle!! I think that means there is some punishment in order for some people...??

So yesterday I went to Freud's house and the tate modern. Twas rather interesting, he was obsessed with antiquities and books!! Didnt get to lay on his couch and be asked 'and how does that make you feel?' Went to the tate which is the first time i have ever been to a proper art gallery and it was really intersting! The paintings were cool, though was dissappointed with one that was supposed to be like optical illusion but didnt work! And there was one artist that had some quite disturbing pictures!

Nothing that interesting has happened today. Did have our coin map out though and was amazed at how successful it was, over 2 days we raised £200.43, which i thought was quite good!

My Michael McIntyre DVD got here today *yay ^_^ so will watch that at some point tonight, possibly just after i tidy my pigsty of a room!! =s

"Does Everyone know what historic day it is today?"

Chloe: "Shaunie's birthday" [lol, thanks for that chloe <3]
Dave: "Is it Shaunie's brithay? Slightly less important than that"
.... "Barrack Obama goes into office, you can go home and watch it so you can tell your grandchildren where you were when it happened"
Dave: "Happy Birthday shaunie, you know it's all down hill from here" [well the convo went something like that, Lol]

On Saturday, i drove past some sheep and felt a tad bit guilty that i was cutting their mates heart up the day before, lol! =] Lucky i dont feel that when im eating them =]

Was well grumpy all weekend,especially Sunday as i left home at 11.00 and got home at 14.30 just to go to the gym...was not good! But i did get a free T-Shirt!! And reatail therpy is a god send!! Ended up writing my pychology essay yetserday though it was like banging my head againt a brick wall... painfully slow!!

So Barack Obama gets inaugarated today, its ironic that two amazing things should happen on one day! Lol

So today has been a good day!! Although the scissor thing in History was marginally traumatic >_<

Had a really nice man, Dean, come in to talk about his expereince in Uganda, it was really helpful... I didnt realise Uganda was so green!

Got wonderfully wrapped presents from Terrance, thank your mummy for me sas =p, that included 1001 albums to hear before you die. So decided that i am gonna use it to finish downloading all the half albums i have on iTunes of peopple like The Who, although i was bitterly dissappointed to see McFly werent in it!! But thank you so much saskia, you reallt didnt need to get me that much!! =] Cant wait to dig in to that aestheically pleasing, lucious chocolate slab!!



Loving the drawing!! =p But i think you made a mistake, your Mrs Evans, im Mrs Laurie!! =p And i love the way you are taller than all of us!! lol But Shabina is the shortest and that is all that matters!! =p

Still waiting for my mummy before i open the rest of my presents and birthday cake mysteriously appeared in the fridge when i got home so i may expand on this blog later!!

>_<

I Would just like to say that me being a 'W', and hence last alphabetically out of the 4 of us, doesnt mean you have to put me last in the call list only to never make it because dumb or dumber answer first!! =[

Lol sorry rant over!! =]

xxx

If Only....

I Could make videos and put them on blogger to avoid boring you with my life story

Okay, i was gonna do whole list of carries on to the 'If Only' but that is the only one i could think of ^_^

So yesterday, i got to cut up a sheep's heart, which was interesting!! It was a little bit gross, but overall fairly cool, although im not going to become a butcher because of it!!

Today has been a pretty rubbish day! Got up at 9 to go to Bedford just to go to the gym!! 9 O Clock on a Saturday!!! It was so not worth it, the one in Hitchin was much more convenient and i think that, at least at the mo, i like the Hitchin one better!!

Then had my hair Highlighted and trimmed!! It looks very blonde and Claire put some Bed Head 'Curls rock' stuff in it and it actually stopped it from looking so wild, i may have to purchase some!!

Then went home and watched rugby. Was really look forward to the Perpignan Match but Dan Carter wasn't playing so that was really disappointing!! >_<

Spoke to beanbag =] But found out not going to pizza Express =[ Because Saskia is ill =[ Hope she feels better soon! =]

So bored at the minute that it is doing my head in so may go and drow my sorrows in youtube, A Bit of Fry and Laurie , Sims or Guitar Hero( Havent decided which yet, probably an amalgam of all 4)

Decided that after getting up ridiculously early again tomorrow to go to the gym that i may go to town and hope that some retail therapy will numb the pain that ANOTHER essay will mercilessly drain from me!! >_<

Uh oh....

... I think someone has forgotten something!! No names mentioned!!

And this is so Saskia knows which History notes to bring in tomorrow:

OMG

Yay... The video worked!!

Thanks Sanum =]

Brrr.....

I am cold >_< My room seems to be the coldest in the house, and with the weather today that is some acheivment!!

Carrying on the breakfast convo...Cheerios arent that bad, but not as good as Special K!!! And if you ever have porridge, you should try it with Jam in, its nice!!

So yesterday i had to do my english Oral (Ill pause so Sanum can giggle) and i think it went quite well, no extra mark for my pictures on my slideshow though =[ That was really the only major thing that happened tuesday!!

Today our Spanish teacher is back from Columbia!! =] And she bought us some Columbian sweets which were very nice!!
We had tutor period which was a bit like group therapy... Had to answer some really hard question: 'How do you think other people see you?' I dont know!! How do you see me?!
Late for Biology =s as most weeks =s
Then walked up Stockingstone to take Jacob for a walk before returning back to College for a Uganda meeting. When i got home turned out my nan was there and i didnt need to take him so ended up walking up Stockingstone twice for no reason >_< Oh well!!
Then on my way back to college some numpty said 'oh pink face' or something like that when i walked past,obviously ignorant to the fact that any sort of comeback to that i could have made racist, but i obviously wouldnt go there!! =] Im quite happy my face was pink and not bright red to be honest!!

OMG, my gym memberhsip at Hitchin was cancelled so we could start going to Golds gym in Bedford!! I like the gym at Hitchin!! And ill have to find new people to perv on (Not that that is why i go to the gym or anything)

For the rest of the day i am planning to do nothing!! Might play guitar hero, because yes i am one =p and then sleep!

And just to test the vieo theory once more, the awesome Dan Carter <3:

Is it right this time?

Right, with guidance from the genius that is Sanum - How did you fail IT? - I shall attempt the video thing, will try it with something a bit shorter, 'Mystery':

So this time the embedded things goes into the box and i press the upload button:

It looked so promising but once again, failure.

Sorry, there was an error uploading your video.

Oh well......

Good ole times...

Lmao, Look what someone added on facebook:
Year 2, Red class with Mrs Major! Thats me standing next to the teacher, I would have been about 6 so it was about 1998!! Damn...... ^_^

Let's get this right

I am going to attempt to teach myself how to add a video from youtube onto my blog. Couldnt figure it out the other day when talking about Michael McIntyre and snow, assumed you couldnt, but Sanum managed to - although she is having some illicit affair with youtube so that may be why =p - so here goes!

Comic Genius as always from Fry and Laurie, Piano Masterclass:
Ill press the add video button, copy the URL thingy from youtube and paste it into the second option, agree to terms and conditions and press 'Upload video' and....

'Sorry, there was an error uploading your video.

Please contact support and include the following information:

Am i not doing it right?!? >_<

Will have to stick with copying the URL and letting you do the hard work if you want to ...

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nEuVvSKN__I

Hopefully this lives up ...

I have had complaints about the lack of effort that went into my last blog, Sanum im looking at you >_<, so ill try and write one with a bit more enthusiasm!!

So my day today: I had a biology test first thing today that went horribly wrong! I did not understand half the questions and you know its doesnt go well when you get the first multiple choice question wrong!! But apparently Parik copied me, Nikima copied him and Chloe copied her and they all got that wrong!! Serves them right =p

Had english in which i practiced my oral, really not looking forward to doing that onTuesday =[

Then had Spanish where we had to watch a video and answer questions about it! I couldnt understand anything the Spanish as they spoke soooooo fast!!

In History me and Karen were writing a presentation about Trotsky which we have to present on Tuesday ... What is it with the IB making us do speeches... >_<

Currently watching friends, havnt watched it in ages and it was the episode with Phoebes funny running ... Pure comic genius!! =p

There is a new Qi on today, BBC One 9 o' clock so cant wait for that!! =] =]

---

Technically, according to my new years resolution from Sanum, it is my day to blog but i havent really got anything to write about!!

The snow has finally gone and my journey to college and ack again was safe.
Had no pschology lesson as Jodi was in a meeting, went home at 2.40 ^_^ Wooh
Went to bank
Came home
Off for a jog =s
Coming back to revise Biology for my test tomorrow!!

Hope everyone, or just you sanum, exam went okay!! =]

Walking in a winter...

...Wonderland?! Is that really the right word?... We are in Luton after all.

When i woke up Monday morning i was sooo excited about the snow, i wasnt this excited about christmas! Then i remebered that i wasnt at Stopsley anymore and didnt get the day off, but i was still excited.

Going up and down Stockingstone was interesting that day, and i managed not to fall totally on my arse. Sadly my teachers werent snowed out but i had no test, contrary to what saskia told me, so it was a good day.

This morning, i was slightly confused as to whether the snow i saw was new snow or old snow, turned out it was old snow but it still looked fresh on first glance as our road's not a very busy one!

Walking down stockingstone was like mission impossible as all the snow had been compacted into ice, not good! Lessons were as lessons are, although i did learn that Liverpool is 'the Bastard son of Everton'... Lmao!!

In English though, i volunteer to be one of the first people to do my oral, yes Sanum ORAL!!! Why?! Not even Jesus knows.... Next time i really need someone to stop me for carrying out such acts of idiocy!!

Wakling back up Stockingstone was also quite traumatic! And there are still bits of untouched snow in houses along my road... I really wanted to go and walk on it or make snow angels but i dont think anyone would appreciate finding me lying in their front garden =[

Just spent aggges making a powerpoint for my ORAL, which i am rather proud of, so fingers crossed that it all goes well!! ^_^

All this snow reminds me of a Michael McIntrye [<3] Sketch

Enjoy!! ^_^

Every Other Day...

...My Arse!!

So according to sanum my new years resolution is to blog everyday ... Sanum my life is nowhere near enough interesting to do that, but i shall try to do it more often if it makes you happy!!

So, most of my day today was taken up by netball, which overall was a right cofuffle!!

Left home at 9:30 and walked with Dad and Jacob to Putteridge for about 10.10 for a 10.30 start and was the only one there from my team 'til about 10.30!! The courts were still frozen, despite the salt thrown over them, so we had to move to Ashcroft because apparently a divisional cup match cant be postponed!! >_<

So at Ashcroft it was bloody Freezing!! We eventaully started at about 11.15 only to be absoloutly stuffed by a team called Red Devils!! Our team werent really in it and to were sick (or hungover >_<) and had to go off for the last quater and we had to play with 5 and ironically we played better with 5!!!

Walked home and got home at about 1pm! Thats 3.30 hours taken up by netball ... Oh Well!!

After that watched rugby, ate Tuna pizza (dont knock it until you try it =p) and just finished doing last minute maths homework for tomorrow!!

Apparently have a biology exam tomorrow and have done Jack all so will fail, ill update you with that excellent news in the near future!!

Back to college tomorrow ...... *sighs*
