Roaarrr!

What an almost-crappy trip to Derby!

Despite my little cold thing, I decided I was frickin' going to Derby on Monday. I had things to do, and people to see! I set off not only to find out my TomTom broke and wouldn't synchronise with my Sat Nav; but with much head banging and finger fighting, I got it to work!

I set off going down and my friend Darren rung me to tell me that I won't be having lunch with him and he won't be finished on an essay until 3pm. I continued my little travel and arrived at the University at about 12:30 and went straight to my interview thing with the Marketing Management course leader. Only, he wasn't there.. so I got the next best thing. A lady tutor who basically deals with the course too.

We had our little chat and I decided it was quite nice and what the lady said was that I would be doing a varied of things such as exhibitions, sales negotiation on camera and something else I forgot, heh. I left, got the application form and went to buy one of those lush raspberry, white chocolate flapjacks that I always buy like every day when I was at University and Dan rang. He was around the University for a lecture. We practically bumped into each other talking on our mobiles. We headed off to one of his tutorials and just chilled.

After all that was over and even in between, I met a few old buddies for a split second which was fun to do.

Darren called or text at about 2pm to say his house needed cleaning and won't be done until 4pm, so me and Dan decided to head off to the student bar. Blah, blah, blah timed pushed on and we went into town. I think we had lunch, I'm not sure. Anywho, we got back at it was after 5pm or something. He left to his and I left to find Darrens.

I finally get there after my phone is almost dying from too much usage! I'm greeted by a "hi" and an unappreciated hug. And it goes downhill from there really. I'll shorten all this bit down because I just don't have the patcience to write it all in detail.

Darren say's hi. We exchange a few words and we're left in silence. His house sucked and was filthy which I later found out after going out with him in the same place since the past year, no matter how much I tried to sway him to go somewhere else, like Zanzibar, no-no. I found a little pleasure in chatting to people around and eventually found myself stuck with Darren again who constantly kept saying "do I look fat?" "do you think I'm fat?" -- C'mon, if you're really my friend, you know I don't comment on that shit. I just don't agree with it all. Anywho, after the night, we left home and he was trying to get on me and was constantly asking to suck me off and whatever else. I just slept on his floor and ignored him. Getting to sleep at about 2am, I found myself wide awake at 5am full of cold and freezing. It was even colder than my Leeds place and that's just as bad. I couldn't stop sneezing when I pulled myself downstairs to watch some TV and eventually he awoke as well. Basically, I can't be bothered to write anymore, it still gets annoying and worse after he awoke. Darren's no longer considered as my friend anymore. Farewell journalist contact. Ya'know, there's only so much someone like me can take. Maybe if he dropped the nagging and constantly stopped tying to put himself down Id still have him as a journalist contact, but not anymore.

After that, I went to Dan's, we chilled and he took me to Centre Parks where they had this little village thingy and a fireworks display. It was so nice. The workers told me there was no bonfire toffee anywhere so I knew my nose would seek it out! After that I just chilled for a little while longer mainly watching Desperate Housewives with Dan. It's such a good show!

I left on Wednesday and headed back home. Now I'm just chilling before work starts again.

The good thing is I'm writing my application letter out today and I'll post it once I've got it proofread. To me, it sounds quite gooooood. Let's see what others think before I send something I can't retrieve!

Cold..

Fucking cold. How typical is that. As soon as I take a full week off work and want to do things in my life I get a fucking fully fledged cold. Mine are different; I struggle to breath and constantly have a headache.

Work's told me I can come into work and take a different week off if I'm not any better by tomorrow. I better be feeling better by tomorrow or my trip to Derby and to see some friends is going to be called off.

Whoever controls my life, is a bitch.

New month, new goals

1st November and it's time for some new goals. Really new goals.

I have an entire week off work starting on the 5th and throughout that week I'm heading to different Universities to talk with someone from the Business department to try and get myself into doing PR & Marketing. That's right. I'm off back to University sometime and it could be sometime soon. I've got my mind set, but my employer doesn't know yet. That's because it's not all official.

I can get into Derby university on their Business (Marketing) course which includes PR in the second year and this course starts in January, which can be a sandwich course too. I obviously would take the sandwich course to gain experience. So, on Monday, I'm heading down to Derby to have a little talk with someone just to see if it could be right for me. I don't like the fact you have to just throw yourself into a course and be expected to do great things when you don't really know what it consists off. PR & Marketing sounds awesome. I'm sure you've seen Samantha Jones in sex and the city and her life's all 'bigged up' -- but is it really like that?

On my little travel to Derby I thought I might as well see a few friends. One of which is offering me his lush floor for Monday so I can stay even longer!

I still have a few universities to see, but Derby might be my first bet as it starts in January.
