College said WHAT!?

Heyy everyone,

Today was a busy day, I guess.

So I finally got my guidance interview and dammit that wasn't very helpful,

Although when I got there and sat down waiting for my name to be called out it just felt so much different from from my sixth form as in when I was as my sixth form it just felt so, boring I guess and that was really de-motivational which is probably why I never got anything done in the lessons but here it just seemed like if I were to get into here either doing a level 2 or 3 then I think that this place would be such a change from my old school that it might just shock me into working.

Now Don't be thinking that I hated Sixth form because I didn't and there were some INCREDIBLY AWESOME people there BUT the bad things about it out weighed the good things unfortunately so I really didn't want to waste another year without getting any REAL grades.

OH YEAH

Yet More Interviews

Heyy everyone,

Today was one of those days where you really don't want to do anything, then get made to, then realise it was a GREAT idea.

So today I spent the first half in Lincoln going from college to college trying to find out if I had any more interviews, I did. 2 in fact! YAY!

Then it was off to get some chors done (Buy new Converse, Kerrang magazine and a coke.)
Not forgetting to speak to Aaron. He has a podcast which he says he's going to start up again but I can't find it so you'll have to settle with their facebook page instead Here!

So I want to know, What did YOU do today?
It's easy enough to leave a comment (Just scroll down)

Repetative Tasks Are NOT Fun

Heyy everyone,

Today was boring, No change there, Still nothing from Lincoln College although it's only been 2 days since I had my interview I guess I just really want to get in and I'm getting pretty tired of doing the same tasks over and OVER AGAIN (Cutting out shapes on paper and sticking them on to bigger bits of paper) Trust me when I say this if you EVER have the chance to go to College and leave your Secondary school (Not go to Sixth form) Then please do because from what I've seen in the past week it's A LOT better.

I might just be saying that as the sixth form I'm at currently doesn't teach Music L3 BTEC (Which is what I wanted to do from the start.)

But at the moment this is me...
 I've been doing these for the past week and it's DRIVING ME CRAZY! All I ever wanted to do was play guitar and perform but because I wasn't quick enough applying for college this is where I am. I've got over 30 of these to do for tomorrow. HELP! In other news I've started writing music (Seriously) as we agreed as a band to go away and have a go at writing our own riffs and songs so I hope to put some of my ideas up as soon as possible.

100th Blog (Should Have Been Yesterday)

Heyy everyone,

OH MY GOD!

But anyway yes finally I hit 100 posts and YES I missed yesterday BUT I have a good explanation for it, I really do.

I spent most of my free time worrying about my college interview that ran straight through when I was supposed to post yesterday BUT it was not quite what I had expected it to be. When I got the letter confirming the interview date I broke into a cold sweat as it listed all of the important things I needed to do and bring, most of them I didn't have such as grades and achievements. What I had to do also made me worry as it stated I would have to take part in a "formal jam session" but when I arrived it was just this tiny room filled with about 10 others, a few amps and 2 teachers. we were asked a few questions about what our interests are and then we just played a song each to show what we could do.

There was no formal jam session just an hour to ourselves trying out different styles and just talking to each other (Or shouting because of the amps and drums)

After that it was off to busk in the street with a few awesome people I met whilst I was there and then off to get kicked out of McDonald's

So yeah that was the reason there was no blog yesterday.

May 21st Well that was a waste of time

Heyy everyone,

Well hello there everyone STILL on earth after the supposed APOCALYPSE.

This is really just a 'Hi how ya doing' blog today with a little bit of news thrown in. So today was that VERY special day where everything was supposed to end and did it??? NOPE, as per usual.

I've just spent the entire day watching Swifty do his LIVE SHOW to see if anything happens over there and, nope still nothing.

In other news I got a letter from Lincoln College telling me they'll be in touch with me for an interview AND I've been invited to try out for a band as well YAYYY.

This week has been so full of 'Hopefully' life changing things and looking at the future now things really can only get better.

HOORAY for awesome stuff in life.

Doing What I Said I Would Do, And Then Not Being Able To Do It

Heyy everyone,

With the end of the world approaching (Yehh I know NOTHING is going to happen) I thought that it was time I started taking things seriously concerning my education next year and so I set about learning music theory (The thing I said I was going to do ages ago) and at the moment I'm finding it quite easy to understand "REMEMBER I took a Music GSCE and failed at that"
So today has been rushed and wouldn't you know it the Internet goes down 10 minutes before I have to post this and I nearly loose all my application info that I was half way though adding to the Lincoln College website.

NOTE TO SELF and anyone who doesn't want a useless Internet service:
NEVER buy anything from a company called SWEEX as everything I have had from them seems to fail if you use it for too long ESPECIALLY wireless dongles.
