so i started back at college after two weeks off. eeek! my assignments are done except for one two week diary, which i am writing for these next two weeks. phew. thats a massive weight gone. now its just practical stuff. one of my lecturers has written a list of the things i need to get signed off for now. so it doesn't seem so daunting, but theres still a lot of stuff i need to do in the next two months. i know i have a client today so hopefully there'll be something else i can get signed off. i worked loads over the easter holidays that last week i did 10 days without a day off. doesn't bother me though cause i did get lazy mornings still. so i am hoping for a yummy big paycheque in two weeks. the bank never got back to me about a loan so i'll have to call them again. warcrafty ramblings i have rediscovered my undead priest. i think horde side i have tried every race/class combination that even vaguely appeals to me and i can't get along with any of them. i 'want' to have a mage. but deep down the thought of a toon with no heals is scary. so i am back to my dead girl priest. although i have discovered that elemental shamans are totally op i took my 32 taruen shaman (recently respec'ed) to stv and was taking out the level 36 orges easy. but yes. i am back to my priest i think i am just going to stick with her although one my shaman hits 40 and i can respec back to enh and get two daggers maybe i'll have a change of heart. at this popint though. i am seriously considering just deleting all my toons under level 10. and freeing up space on the server again for 'new' toons. oh and i transfered my hunter to runetotem. i don't want to play that toon, but i don't really want to delete her either, so that seemed the best option. she had 19g on her and i considered taking that, but i have alts on that server too, so i figured at least they have a bit of funding.

warcraft: my respec to resto was short lived. you seriously can achieve nothing while resto. i was a squishy as hell and frankly i did not heal any more efficiently. i think a serious amount of practice is on order so i shall be leveling my baby shaman as elemental so i can get used to playing a shaman as a caster. then i'll go ahead with a respec. i enjoy healing, and i want to be resto. it's just not practical at the moment. i have begun the long and painful gold grind for my epic flying skill. gah. college: on the verge of quitting. basically i am just waiting for my manager at work to say that i have have full time hours. i feel really crap about this and it's the source of my constant headaches. college is a waste of my time because i will never use the qualification. oh i enjoy learing how to be a hairdresser but when it comes down to it. i don't actually like the idea of cutting or colouring a total strangers hair. but i would have liked to see it through anyways out of principal. but i really really can't afford to. i have taken to not answering the phone because i know it's someone who wants money off me. i had wanted to go back to portsmouth over easter but there's no way that's going to happen. besides if i am not at college i don't have to wait till half term/end of term to go anywhere which is a bonus i guess. i know that leaving college is the right thing to do. hell i can always do that course again later on in my life if i must. but i feel like a quitter. like i messed up real bad with this one. diet: meh. i had pie and chocolate yesterday. but it was sunday and you gotta be naughty sometimes. other than that, it's ok. i'm still not exercising enough (... not at all...) whoch really would help things along. but the main point is really, i am not gaining weight and i am losing.. veeeery slowly. better than nothing. web design: later on this week i need to have a good look at my websites and figure out all the places where the code isn't valid. if i'm going to try to be a serious web designer i really need to work out the validation thing. /cry Tags: college, diet and exercise, graphics & code, world of warcraft

well it's been what? a month since i posted last. not an awful lot has happened but you wouldn't expect that from me anyway. xmas came and went without incident. though i did go out with the girls from college on our last day of term. that was a laugh! well all met up at college for a buffet in the salon (there was no lesson or clients) most of us got makeovers (i was left feeling very girly which is quite alien to me haha), then we all taxied into town. i live so far away from everywhere that i had to leave at about 10pm cause mum was picking me up. all the buses that go from swansea to where i live actually stop at about 6:30. how damed useless is that? i have renewed enthusiasm for hairdressing and am catching up with my 'skills' so thats all good. thank god. I was so close to quitting and i would have hated myself for that, now i am thinking i might invest in a better pair of scissors :D i have a load of time booked off in feb and march so i am hoping to travel down to portsmouth, but at the moment i'm not sure i have anywhere to stay. i will be really gutted if i don't go. it'll have been nearly two and a half years since i moved. i really have an itch to go back, though i am expecting a culture shock again. i'm downloading the score from the transformers movie as i write this /geek i have a little collection of transformers toys growing on my desk here i'll be adding the voyager class Blackout and Scorponok to that collection soon, and i really need to hunt down a G1 style Starscream. eventually i'll be over this silliness. but no time soon. i have been eating healthily for a week and a half now. i decided not to do an all out diet because i fail at those. i have lost 5lb. i would love to take credit for all of that but i've been ill the last couple of days and off my food haha. there is the 'flu' going around here. and i got it i think. normally i really really hate when people call a cold or even a bad cold the flu cause its totally different. but i had the proper flu symptoms, i got in from college curled up on the sofa with my quilt and couldn't move. every muscle and joint hurt so much. but then two days later and it's gone! i still cough a lot but no headache or anything. at least i was properly and genuinely ill :) i took the day off college and i didn't have to fake of exaggerate anything. not that i ever do that. in warcraft news. i am really angry at my paladin. i tried all morning to complete the last 'big' quest in the draenei starting area (ending their world) and i still can't do it on my own. all the other characters i have done this quest with have never needed the recommended 2 players to finish it, so what the hell is wrong here? maybe i just play badly? so in the end i joined a run through the DM. and was assigned the job of healer. which also made me angry but i did ok. the priest only had to back me up a few times..... yes really. the priest who can heal a lot more than me faster than me wouldn't so it, cause she was shadow spec. i hate when people try to pull that bullshit. so i didn't heal her at all. unless i thought i might need her to rez me because out tank wasn't tanking all that well (not really badly, i have no complaints, in fact it might have just been that people weren't watching their aggro). i'm thinking of resetting my talents and going 100% prot. i so want to tank.. so much. also, i love my icon. i didn't make it (credit is on the icons page) but it is the sex anyway.

minor tragedy #1 i have run out of coffee and have had to resort to the decaf. minor tragedy #2 the water is off so i couldn't fill the kettle even if i wanted to. i also can't shower, and i really need to because my hair is scanky (explanation later on) minor tragedy #3 not being able to shower means i won't be going to college today. no that's actually very bad. minor tragedy #4 my brain age is 44 and i really need to learn my times tables. yes i realise i should have already done that, years ago! god damn you Dr Kawashima. end of tragedies. yes all very minor, but noteworthy anyway :) yesterday at college we were practicing doing a conditioning treatment on each other it was my turn to get the treatment, so i had a lazy morning of being stuck in a chair playing client. which was cool :) i didn't bother to straighten my hair before i went to college, i didn't even brush it! but it looked surprisingly cool i didn't condition it myself cause i knew i would be having the treatment so it was starting to twist up and dread itself (oh my poor hair is in such bad condition!). unfortunatly my class mate who did my hair didn't rinse it properly. i knew it wasn't done properly because she didn't spend as long getting the conditioner out as i would do at home, and i know my hair, i know it takes a lot longer to get product out than that. i asked her but she said it was fine. so today my hair feels thick and greasy - and looks it too. and if there is one thing i can't stand it's greasy hair. i would rather spend an extra 30 minutes a day making sure my hair is cleaned and conditioned and straightened (or not straightened, depending on how i am feeling) than just leave it. ok due to the shocking amount of time i have taken to write this little entry, the water has come back on. only it's too late now! there's no time for me to be ready to leave the house. *huff* i'll just do some house work and watch those last two episodes of Life on Mars.

i has a new keyboard! it's one of them ergonomic ones with the silent keys. it's a bit sad to be so excited over a keyboard, but i am. hehe. college is working out really well still. it's loads of fun. but really hard work. on tuesday's practical we were just sectioning hair one four sections and one nine sections. that was fairly easy. nine sections was easiest for me because the lines were shorter and therefor easier to get straight. wednesday's practical was a lot of fun because we tried out first cut and blow dry. just a one length cut that was easy. the blow dry was harder5 cause we were all making the hair frizzy. apparently that was just cause we were not holding the hairdryer right. Thursday's class was a bit of a disaster because we were putting rollers into long hair, which by the way it really hard! i didn't even finish one head full in three hours. hopefully this tuesday we will be back to blow drying cause i really want to work on that. i haven't got much homework so far. it's all pretty basic stuff like, create a front page for your health and safety unit. i have hardly been playing warcraft, i'll need to work out some sort of schedule for that. i think weekends are best, cause although i am working, i can still stay up late (after all, who needs to be awake for work?..). i had intended for wednesday to be a late night too, simply cause i don't have to get up in the morning. but i am too tired then and i just play badly when i am tired. i have been paid now so i should be able to get my transfer of my shaman sorted this week. WOO!! i also need to drag myself out of the rut i am in with my priest. i'm level 27 and i hate both ashenvale and thousand needles. hopefully i can get away with finishing off the hillbrad quests and then move on to stranglethorn or arathi (can't remember the level of arathi. it is around 30 isn't it?). i have also rekindled my love of pokémon! i mentioned a while back that i bought pokémon pearl and i have been playing that loads. i am only two gym badges in mind. and i will insist on using naff pokémon. hehe i also can't manage to build a team that doesn't have glaring weaknesses. i am not going to bother saying levels (they are all low 20's anyway) but i has a golbat(poison/flying), ghastly(ghost), ponyta(fire), grotle(grass, onix(rock/ground)and luxio(electric). i fail at remembering what type is effective against what. all i know is that my ponyta must front my team (despite being the baby of the group) because he has the Run Away ability which is terribly useful for then you are up against a monster you can't possibly beat. as far as i understand you can catch most of the existing pokémon in this game, so i will probably end up with a whole load of poison types (arbok and seviper FTW). i need to get my onix stored out. i love her to bits but... umm. i didn't realise she was a girl when i caught and named her so it's all very inappropriate. and yes i am awkward like that, my team has to be all male because all the names i use suit male characters. oh yes, i name them. all of them. every single monster i catch. means i don't bother to catch a monster i probably will never use :D i am hoping that i'll be able to get my hands of more than one eevee. there are 7 eeveelutions now. and i want them all. i also wish i had been smart and thought about what version of the game i wanted. i would have preferred the steel type legendary pokémon from diamond rather than the water type from pearl. oh well. maybe once i have got my wireless adsl sorted out i'll find someone online who wants to trade. i have my fingers crossed that within the next few years we will see a pokémon MMORPG for the Wii. the sad geek in me would love that so very much. hehe. enough pokémon chit chat. i have to shower ready for work, then try out my new keyboard with warcraft. (or a might just sit in the garden and play pokémon... Tags: college, pokémon, world of warcraft

and thus completes my first two days of college. its ok. the buses are just awful. took me two hours to get home today. my class is cool. i haven't really *bonded* with anyone, but after two days, who has. there is now two guys in the class (which shouldn't surprise me, but it does) one also plays warcraft. i haven't got his server/character name though. we did have a very short chat about it, which was a bit surreal actually. i occasionally chat about the game to my mum but not 'properly' and i usually use very general terms and description, usually when she asks if i am the character that's dead or something. (speaking of dead, i have more warcraft stuff to write about, in my next post). so yeh, college seems ok. i am in in the mornings of monday, all day tuesday and wednesday and in the evening on thursday. leaving me friday, saturday and sunday to work. i want to work on monday evenings really. instead of sunday (or another day). and i think i shall keep thurday morning free for.. catching up on all the sleep i am going to lose. haw haw. this week is going to be more of the same inane crap. filling out forms doing tests to tell me what i already know.. today i battled with the bus for an hour and a half to get to college and then for two hours to get home, for what? to be sat in front of a computer and do a test that told me that i am quite good at english. no really? *blank stare* i can't see why we didn't do that yesterday, infact, the whole thing, while laid back, has been so slow! i don't need the same thing repeated to me, and if it is repeated please just tell it like it is, without all the 'uncertainty'. i swear it took an hour to sort the timetable.. she had a copy and we had to copy it out by hand *cough*PHOTOCOPIER?*cough* and while i am being generally grumpy about how things are done and my tutor. today she insisted on calling one of the other students, her PR cause she knew a lot about the college. her words "i've got a PR, you're like my secretary!" and she said it like, 5 times!! and every time i was sat there thinking 'A' it's PA... its a fucking 'A'!!!!!oMGzzz!11one! lol. but at least i had a giggle about it. i think i have grumps because i haven't had nearly enough sleep. i haven't had to work so hard or think so much for years, i'll get used to it, everyone does. but its weird, and really cool.

ok i gotta leave for the bus in about fifteen minutes. i'm not as worried today as i was yesterday, but i have already downed two cups of coffee and i only got four hours sleep so what do i know! the only thing concerning me is getting there on time, but that should b ok. the bus leaves at 7:30 and takes about an hour so i should be in swansea at 8:30 leaving me half hour to figure out what bus i need to be on to get to college. i thought it was the on leave from bay 4, thats the one i got last time. but at work i was told it leaves from bat 2 or 1. gah. i'll check the timetable when i get there, or better still, follow someone. also, i did a wicked job with my eye makeup this morning. i'm wearing the slytherin colours again (cause that's the 'design' i know how to do right haha). i really need to get a photo, but my webcam is being unhelpful this morning - not enough light in the room. ah this morning could not have been better, i was worried it would be raining, and that i would get to college looking like a skank. fortunately they sky is clear! no rain, no mist! ok 2 minutes to go now....
