Accomplished

I feel quite good about today :) I have my meeting booked with the principal, vice principal and the senior management team about reducing Taunton's carbon footprint. When I went into the office to book it the principal came out and the PA said: "This is Sophie. You know, Eco-Sophie!" and I was quite proud of that. She said that my email was thorough and informative, and that she needs to be informed about these sort of things so she's happy to have a meeting. Thats good, but to be honest as a principal she should really be clued up on these things, as she has the authority to enforce changes that could help everyone. But oh well, i've had to step in and make it happen :D ha!

Also, whilst checking my email so that I could get the playlist to write my radio script .. I found out that I have a group interview for Waitrose in Portswood :D It's on sundays I think. So if I do get the job there I will probably have to leave my job at Whsmith because it'll be too much. Also they did say that they were unable to employ me fulltime, meaning that unless I want to work four hours a week and do nothing for the rest of the week (Except working in the Square part-time) i'm going to have to leave and get a job. Not my choice, it's theirs. Oh well! It's more experience! Did the radio today, that was quite fun. But because i've missed half of my ICT lesson i'm going to have to start going to catch up classes on thursday lunchtimes (Which is annoying because I don't even have to be in college until after lunch -- but I suppose if it stops my teacher having a go, it'll be okay!) . And I handed in my English coursework today :) Which is a lot less to deal with, but I still have to improve on it, and i've been given another piece that I have to improve on too :(

I've got my open day at Solent University tomorrow at midday. I've got the day off college because I don't know how long it will last for, and i'm hoping it's not as bad as it's repetutation. But you can't believe everything you hear, so i'm seeing for myself. I've already got in.. so after tomorrow I can hopefully enter my decision about where I want to go into UCAS.

Adam's coming round tonight, and we're having pizza and garlic bread. Yummyyyyyyy! I think i'll try and find some way to watch Glee online or something, I missed it last night and it annoyed me because i'm really getting into it! Bye.

Tiiired.

Got in at half three this morning from work and I am shattereddddd. Lovely. And I need to somehow get started on my English coursework that needs to be on Monday. To be fair, i've done about half, I just need to get my analysis sorted. I'm still trying to get back into the routine of sleeping at the right time from New York. It was amazing, but honestly -- too many lights and electricity being used for my liking. Was a bit overpowering and just brought reminders of the damage it is causing. But .. hopefully things will change, and they are .. there were loads of posters and billboards advertising. One with a sea, and it said: London, Wembley 2092?

That scared me. But that gives us 80 years to make a change, which I think we will :)

Speaking of that, the email I sent regarding the carbon footprint of Tauntons has been replied to .. the principal emailed me back saying she wanted me to make an appointment with the senior management team to discuss my points because she is really interested :D How good is that?!

Adams just left, and we're going to look at bridesmaid dresses in town soon. And Nando's tonight with everyone :D That should be fun! We were supposed to go last night but I didn't realise I was working :( But I was at half 9, and because we weren't planning to go until half 8 because of everyones work times etc. it wouldn't have given us enough time to answer! But tonight shall be good! :D

Me and Adam are going to Bournemouth tomorrow :) Quite excited! And Charlotte moves into her flat tomorrow afternoon too, so me and Adam are helping her until 3 o'clock, then we're on our way :) Right.. i'm bored now. I wish my sister would hurry up so we could get going. I have things to dooooo! I'm not working until next thursday now, and apparently I start at half 11? Why so late? I'm going to ask if I can come in any earlier because it's a bit late for me to come out to be honest? Or i'll just go early and get myself a drink and sit in the bar for a bit.. at least it stops my mum asking questions, as I have college the next day at half 8! That is going to be horrible .. but it's gotta be done i'm afraid- I need to start saving!

I'm going to go now because i've run out of things to talk about. Bye!

Day 4 of 4

Good morning :)

I spent basically the whole of last night watching episodes of Glee on 4od, and now i'm listening to all the best songs on my iTunes. Defying Gravity, Walking on Sunshine, Somebody to Love, Don't Stop Believing, It's My Life, My Life would Suck Without You, No Air. :D

Adams home tonight :) Yaaaaay. And I also start my new job tonight, i'm quite scared because I have no idea what to expect at all. I haven't even opened a bottle with a bottle opener before? I'm buying a six-pack of coke today from Sainsbury's so I can practise with a bottle opener, because if I don't know that I know i'll get sacked straight away! I'm still in bed :) I don't have college until ten to one, but i'm meeting Tom and Charlotte for lunch so I don't even know if i'm going .. but it's okay because i'm not behind or anything. Just giving myself an early start to my half term! Lol. I tend to always do that. But if it's actually really important I don't, obviously.

I'm going to go up and have a shower in a minute and sort my room out. I was up until midnight last night cleaning it up, but because it was so late I couldn't change my sheets because the new ones are in my mums room and she was asleep. I'm also going to polish/dust, whatevers needed. I was also up doing my English coursework! Roger said that it has to be in on Friday, but then he said at the very latest the first day back? So i'm just going to do whatever I can and then give it to him after half term. I've got my third transcription now it's just the case of highlighting what's going on in my conversations and analysing in, comparing them to each other and seeing if my hypothesis' are true. Simple. :S Well it is, it's just a bit long-winded to be honest.

Right, I should get moving .. I don't want to waste the whole day in bed. I've going to Adams at like 8 tonight so that I can be there for when he gets back .. then he's going to drop me at work and wait for me at my house. Bless him :) He's going to get to watch Skins and i'm not :( And i'm not going to get in until like 3am which is kinda crap. Luckily i'm not going to college tomorrow! But I suppose I know people that go into town every tuesday and thursday and don't get in until like 3 .. and manage to crawl into college at half 8. Hungover and looking a mess, but they get it done! :D

I'm excited! More money, here I come! Let's just hope I don't get distracted by the good music, and don't get screamed at by drunk people .. wish me luck :) x

Day 3 of 4

Hey there. I got a job as a barmaid at The Square :) Had the interview yesterday and they told me there and then, not baaaaad. Really nervous, because it's late shifts and I feel too young because everyone goes out and parties every night and goes in there, and I don't even really go to town! I start tomorrow night at half 10 .. the time Adam was supposed to be coming home :( I felt so terrible but I couldn't just say no to my first night (Seeing as i'm going to New York on saturday and then i'm going to Bournemouth the following saturday with Adam.) Adam was really upset and annoyed but I think he's okay now. I hope so, because I like it when he supports me and is always there when I need to talk to someone.

Finished my photography essay (which is half of my coursework!) this morning, and I just need to print my photos off in the next lesson i'm in. I just need to do my english coursework now .. which I really don't feel like doing, and it needs to be done by Friday. I'm not actually going to be in college on friday but i'll email it to him.

It's been really cold today, sometimes cloudy, sometimes sunny. Had the teeniest bit of snow (Apparently we're catching the end of it being moved across or something..) and everyones like "Oh thats so wierd!" But last february it was snowing? I just hate when people highlight that something isn't normal, makes me worry. Didn't help that my friend randomly said: "It's global warming!" But to be honest, she doesn't know much about it and she doesn't seem to care too much so yeah .. it's a bit silly to get worked up about that. But things like that set me off.

I'm starting to worry about everything now. I'm turning into a very cautious person. I'm worrying about upsetting people and things happening to me and other people. I don't knowwww, it's stressful and quite tiring at times. I could just do with a nice big cuddle from Adam. I hate when we argue, and it makes it worse because he's in Birmingham. But he's coming home tomorrow, so i'm going to bus to his so i'm there when he gets back, then he's going to give me a lift to work at half 10, and wait at my house for me. How sweet of him :)

Haha. Just gone four o'clock and i'm in bed. Now that's just sad. I literally got up this morning and put on jeans, a big guys hoodie and my uggs. I looked a state to be honest, but I really wasn't bothered. I think i'm just going to go watch movies on my laptop, do some work and have an early night. I hope I can get to sleep a bit earlier because I didn't get to sleep until 2am last night. Text Adam but he didn't text back :( Really wanted to talk to him, but it was okay .. I fell asleep soon after. Just got a ring from Kim inviting me to town with her and Iain. I said I would go earlier after Iain was done getting his car fixed but I really don't feel like it now! Me and Iain went to Charlotte's at lunch today, and i've just got back now and i'm actually really tired! But I don't know if I could sleep. I think I may just watch 4od episodes of Glee to cheer me up. It'll catch me up to speed as well. I've just put the first episode on .. so i'm going to go, may write in later. Bye :)

Day 1 of 4

Adam left at 5 this morning, whilst I was half asleep. It was horrible, because I was drifting in and out of sleep so I missed spending the last 10 minutes with him :( Miss him loads. Going to just bury myself in work and happy movies to keep my mind off bad things. I'm seeing my friend Tom on Thursday for lunch, and i'm going to see if Charlotte wants to meet up at some point because i'm going to be taking Friday off anyway so i'll be missing out on my EMA.

Had a lunch with the principal today with the other people from the radio. Was nice to sit down and have a chat! Haha. Everyone also spoke about what's going to happen to improve the college, and putting in more recycling bins and stuff is going to happen apparently. I'll keep pushing it until it's done. It needs to be done, it'll help everyone out.

I'm feeling a little bit nervous about spending tonight alone? Because since i've gone into my whole 'environmental-addict' mode i've been really panicky and nervous about everything, and Adams always been there to calm me down. I'll just sit in with the family tonight and watch TV until later on when i'll go and watch a movie, have a shower and write my script for tomorrows radio show.

Right, I have 9 minutes of charge left so i'm going to say goodbye, otherwise my post won't save.

Adam will probably read this later, miss him loads :(

Bye.

Sat in the dark ..

Yep thats right, that's how sad I am. Sat in the dark, on Zoo World on facebook and blogging. The light from the screen is enough to light up the room though, so there isn't any need to waste electricity by turning the light on? Am I becoming too paranoid? No doubt about it, to be honest. But it's the way I am now, and I can't stop being me. I'm off to Adams soon but I don't know whether I want to ride my bike or get a bus? I suppose I could to save some money, but it's annoying not being able to listen to your music or anything because you're just alone with your thoughts.. but I suppose I concentrate so much on not being hit by a speeding car or massive bus to really pay attention to anything else!

I had English today and carried on with my coursework, I still need to do one more recording of my mum 'asserting her authority' to complete my comparison and there isn't anyone here that she can shout at seeing as Lauren's gone to dads, and she won't shout at me or Jordan. So .. I have until Tuesday so I hope I can get it done by then! Then I had a free so I wandered about and then did some more photography work and then met Charlotte, Alfie, Hayley and Laura at the Malvern for some lunch. Was nice to just sit and chat, and have a shouting match with Alfie across the table. He's only 10 months old but he's a laugh :) I then went back and did some more photography work until my lesson started, and then I had photography. So basically i've done a fair bit today. In order to get an A i've been told that you need to experiment more than you did throughout your first year (and I did a fair bit, but it was all at basic level i've found..) so I decided to whack the inks and watercolours out and do some dripping and mixing to make more 'mixed media'/'textiley' finished images! They aren't going to be mounted up as a final piece but it will show that i've experimented more than by just changing the colours, cropping and layering on photoshop. My friends have said that i've done loads and will definately be able to achieve my target of a B, and i've done the equivilent to 40 A4 pages (My sketchbook is landscape A3!) and am going to end up with about 6-7 final pieces mounted up .. which isn't so bad, but it just doesn't seem enough to be able to achieve a high grade because of how much we were told to do last year. I suppose that's what happens when you have an independent study. Hopefully i'll have my essay and all my photos finished by half term so I can start on my exam preperation after half term, because I can't afford to fall behind.

Tom was supposed to be emailing me the playlist for the radio show on tuesday, which I don't think I have recieved, meaning that I won't have my radio script done until the night before the show. But Adam's going away to that big show in Birmingham to work until thursday so I will probably have some free time on my hands! At least that will keep me busy, although it will probably only take about 15 minutes anyway!

I tried to have an evening out with my mum last night. I asked her to go to dinner with me (only to Wetherspoons, seeing as she would have been working all day and it's close and not too expensive..) and she agreed, but then said that morning that we would go for a drink and then come home for dinner. Then when I met her outside her work I told her I had to fill out a questionnaire so she said "Did you want to do it another time then?", even though I said the questionnaire would only take about 15 minutes. And then she said that dinner was at half 6, only giving us an hour? It was nice to spend time with her but it wasn't really what I wanted to be honest. And I haven't seen my dad in about two weeks, which is annoying. But we're going to New York next weekend so at least I can spend time with him then. I just don't like distancing from the people that matter the most to me? But my parents don't seem to be really jumping at the chance to go out with me? Lovely. I suppose i'll just have to keep making the effort.

Think my mums back from work .. just seen the light outside go on lol. I wonder when i'll actually get off this laptop and turn the light off so I can get moving onto Adams house? I need to go to Sainsbury's to get some dinner and perhaps something to read on the bus aswell? I've had 5 books for christmas (But 2 of them I bought just before) and i've read two already, but the one i'm on now i'm having trouble getting into. It's called 'Shiver' and it's about a group of wolves that actually turn out to be werewolves, and a girl falls in love with one of the wolves in his human form after seeing the wolf looking at her in her house from the woods? But for some reason i'm just not feeling it. It's not really convincing .. although so-called 'critics' say "It's a powerful love story that will have you hooked from the very first page." Not really. I do want to perservere though because i'm starting to get back into books and I don't like beginning one and leaving it unfinished, and I know if I leave it too long I won't ever finish it and it'll be a waste of money. And once I finish it I can give it to charity :) Resulttttt. Loll.

Well anyway .. another random rant over. Byeee.
