Newcastle trip
The lectures were fairly bog standard and the only saving grace was the fact that one of the blokes was more entheusiastic than the whole world. His lecture were only intersting because of this and contained about as much information as a babys ABC book.. The other bloke was more dull than your worst dreams. He just seemed to drone on and on about naff all.
There were a couple of funny things about the day.
The mics for the lecturers kept shorting and cutting out. This was more amusing due to the fleeting words mainly being things like ATP and Seal. This left alot of people anoyed but it was sorted out halfway through and improved the presentations as we could hear them talk about the keywords on each slide.
Should have had more sleep the night before. I had to keep myself awake by overstimulation. Listening to my mp3 player, while drawing silly images, while listening to the blokes drone on, while making notes, while fidgiting to keep a blood supply to my feet (god awful seats). This worked until about half way through and then I drifted in and out of the land of nod for about half an hour until the break for lunch.
The key for the alarm on the minibus broke when we got back. This meant as we are trying to head home the alarm will not turn off to let us in the van. There is a motion sensor in the college minibus and an imobaliser, so no matter what you did to the van the alarm went off in a 30 second blast. So we were stuck in the car park at newcastle in the cold, waiting for the man from the RAC to turn up. It took him half an hour to get to us and he managed to jury rig the van so that it did not go off so long as the engine was running. The experience was a LOL at first then people started to make phonecalls and get worried about getting home. I was fine just had a bit of a headache from lack of water and the constant alarm going off. We eventually got back at 6:30. Now that I think about it I should have gone to the pub down the road for a pint and to keep warm.
Sam blanked me and was annoyed all day. I could not get her to calm down or relax or enjoy herself. She seemed happy but not really, it was just a front for something that was bothering her. I dont know what it was but it just made the day drag on a bit more. Maybe it was me who was not giving her any conversation or me being tired or even my fault for not doing anything. I have no idea but she was like it all day.
Everyone in the class realised that she walks way to fast and is way, way too impatient to wait for traffic lights or other people to catch up. She kept walking on ahead and was miles infront of everyone. Would have helped if she had known were she was going!
Not a bad day out but might have had more fun at college as I started to miss everyone there as the day progressed and I got more and more tired. Why? I have no idea but I think the routine helps me to telax and wake up.
Tis bank holiday monday this week so I will see everyone on Tuesday. Have nowt to do and will be very bored over the weekend bugger! Will probabilly end up on Dawn Of War all weekend when I am not at work. The FUN!!!!1elevntyfirst1!!1111
