Fia came to meet me at mums when I got to Ashford this morning, we still managed to pass her on the ring road though, that was funny. We had to go to the hospital for a blood test first thing in the morning, I came to hold her hand. That was done pretty quickly so we were back to college before 10. As I finished my drawing last week I was a bit lost for what to do now, I decided to etch a plate to make a print from a small section of of my drawing. which was still stuck to a wall so it was hard work to make the plate stay stuck in place, it was really bugging me!
By the afternoon my hand was killing me from etching too hard, I so wanted to go to sleep!
Tuesday 5th April 2011-Still More Work, Tattoos and Training!
Oh my god what a busy day! Got back to mums bright and early, waited a little while until the rest of the world woke up. Then got to work, lots of moaning but I think we got more work done this morning in 2 hours than we got done in 4 yesterday! Don't know how that worked, cheeky monkey was trying to test me on a few things today, I had to tell him, I don't need tutoring thanks, if I did, I wouldn't be tutoring him! that was funny, he told me I don't know how to spell every word in the dictionary, so I said not being funny, pretty much, I do. then he said, ok spell something in tukish then!! Funny guy I said, "How has that got anything to do with English?" It hasn't! Then he told me to spell a word that is actually German! Oh I laughed, bless him, that's why I'm working with him though, I've got the gift of patience that not many people have to the levels I've acquired. I love it. I think his mum would have killed him if she'd sat and tried to work with him for that long!
When it was lunch time I went back to mums to meet mi man on his break. Then I got up to the studio to crack on with my sleeve tattoo. Luckily Sofia came to hold my hand for a little while, that was nice. I picked the wrong day to do this as I knew I was going back to Capoeira tonight, really missed it and my friends and my instructor have been nagging me to come back for ages now. So Fia came with me there too for moral support, and it was so fun! I missed training a lot but I still can't help but feel like it's a lot different than how it used to be. I miss the good old days more! Really want to get back on track though. After class Fia drove us over to our mate chippys house to meet everyone there, and we watched a few episodes of black books! I love it, its so funny. Didn't get home until gone half 10, college tomorrow! Yay.
So knackered!
Monday 4th April 2011- Lots of Work
What a day, tutoring was not something I was looking forward to today. I love doing it but it would be so much more fun if the boy I'm working with had a bit more motivation. Its hard because I really want him to do well, but its like people always say, you can't help someone unless they help themselves! He wants to do well I know he does, but until he realises he's got to put the work in to see a positive come back, he's not going to get very far, unfortunately. I can see a lot of myself in him sometimes, I never focused too much at school, and I just assumed that I'd find a way into something I enjoyed. But it never happened. Now I'm back at college trying again to get an education to get a decent job. I don't think if I knew then what I do now I would of messed about like I did. But he's got a chance to change, but like me, I think he's not going to realise it until its too late. So we spent most of the morning with him trying to talk his way out of doing some work, it was only when I said, look, I don't want to hear it, write down anything you're going to say, and I'll read it later. I really don't like being harsh with him but its the only way I can get him to do anything.
We had a break for lunch and got right back to it, for some reason, even though I was there for nearly six hours, we only got about four hours of work done. There wasn't really a lot of work to show for it either. I really want him to do well for himself.
I just went to sleep on the sofa when I got home, mentally drained!

Sunday 3rd April- Mothers day
I do love Sundays, one of the only days of the week I don't feel guilty having a lie in. Mi man was up earlier than I noticed. I don't know why anyone gets up before 9 o clock on a Sunday, its madness I tell you! Fair enough if you have dogs that need walks, or if you've got to work, or a plan to go out somewhere exciting, but for a lazy day chilling out, why get up so early?! Anyway, I had my lie in and mi man mad me a lovely bacon and egg sandwich in bed. Loved it! I tried to get ready, slowly seeing as it was one of the few days I wasn't being rushed out the door by a certain someone!
We went to visit his brother, and sister in law. They're cool. They'd been looking after a briefcase for him, but the dozey sausage couldn't remember the code! I decided I'd have a crack at it, I was told it had a 7 in it! Well that helped, not! After about half an hour and systematically going through every combination with a 7 I realised that it obviously didn't have a 7. So I started again from 001. Oh my days it took a while, I'd sat there for so long trying every different number that when I cracked it I nearly jumped out of my skin! I was so proud of my little self, and I'll tell you what, I'm never going to forget that code now! not telling though, haha!
We then set off to see bear, t, and the pups. ohh they are sweet! We sat and chatted for ages, well the boys talked about crap and me and t pulled faces at them being boring! Bless them.
I need to stay on track with my blogs so I don't forget what I'm doing everyday!

Saturday 2nd April 2011- Cycling, to the pub!
I had a cool lie in this morning, couldn't stay lazing too long as we had to get out and get on our bikes!
We got to mums right on time, for a change we weren't late! We left with everyone in their crap hats, I'm too cool for a crap hat, I just won't be falling off anytime soon! I hope! Me and dad- as usual- went tearing off in the distance and left mi man and mum straggling behind, they love it! It was a really nice day, summers definitely come early this year!
First stop was at the Good Intent, in Aldington Frith. Sat Nav said otherwise apparently to others that came to meet us there in their cars! So met up with a few friends in the pub garden when we got there, I found a little ladybird friend, that was cool! I like ladybirds, they are definitely my favourite bug type creature.
We had a nice lunch, a bit filling for a cycle ride but I know now not to have sausage and mash when I've got to cycle home! A few malibu and cokes later we said our goodbyes to the drivers and set off to our next destination, the Farriers Arms. It was old!! Was like we'd travelled back through history a few hundred years!
There was a little pup with a man inside by the bar, she was so adorable! Should of taken a picture of her she was beautiful! Again we got our drinks and went and sat in the garden, this time dad thought it would be clever to check the map for the quickest way home. Good plan! We had a laugh at some normal people, I went off to play with some littuns across the field. Came back knackered from running around then had to get back on my bike to get home. It always hurts more getting back on.
On the way back we passed a field with an obvious foot path through the middle, all we had to do was chuck our bikes over the style, I really wanted to go that way as it would have cut out having to cycle right around the sides of this field, bit no one else was up too it, and I didn't want to go on my own. Next time I will though! We went across one of the busiest roads in the town on the way back, and stopped in Macd's for a mc flurry pudding, was very nice, would of been better if they'd put more than three poxy smarties in it!
We stopped at chippys for a quick cup of tea, and set off home. This was the easiest part of the journey as it was right by my sisters old flat, I used to cycle that way all the time to go and see her.
We got back to mum and dads and got the bikes back, and set off back home via Sainsburys to get some food. All good fun! We had a pretty uneventful evening after that, just relaxing our poorly legs after a long day.

Friday 1st April 2011- April Fools Day and Parties
My tutor was soo funny this morning! As soon as we were all in our room he said we had to do key skills, everyone moaned and groaned about it. He asked us to get a pen and paper and go to the reception, which I thought was quite odd, but I thought maybe we were getting the results back from our exam last week. So we all followed to the reception, where our tutor did the register, then he said, " Right, about this Key Skills... April Fools!" and walked out! Cheeky guy fooled everyone! Ohh it was funny!!
So couldn't focus most of the day, don't know why. i just sat staring at my sketchbook most of the morning! It was only when Sofia came to see me that I actually got some motivation to get some work done. She sat with my class friend round the corner and he taught her how to do 3D Graphic Animation on his laptop, don't know how much of it sunk in though! Fia offered to take me home, as we didn't have art history this afternoon, and I really couldn't focus I thought I'd just get back and chill out for a bit. Fia dropped me off and I got lookiong for something to wear tonight. We were off to a friend of mi familys house for a birthday party, didn't wear anything special. Just as well as it turns out it was more of a film night than a party,first they watched some crappy film, then Toy Story 3, the night was a bit dull at parts. Then at one point Batty offered to come with me and pick up Sofia so she could come and join in the festivities with us! Was more fun driving to go get her.Well, til she got there anyways! We watched Despicable Me after we got back, again. Was really funny, as my dad had never seen it before he was giggling like a big kid! It was brilliant!
Ohh my days, I really wanted to get the colours done on my tat this afternoon but mi brothers mates have just got back from their holiday so he wanted to go and see them, fair enough really, can do that another day!

Thursday 31st March 2011- Finally Finished
I don't know why some days everyone wants to play around and have a laugh, today was one of them. It was brilliant! Until I peeked at the register and realised how many weeks we got left, not many! We got next week, then 2 weeks off for easter, then a couple of weeks, then a half term, god knows why! But all in all we only got about 6 or 7 weeks left before we have to clear out and set up for the end of year show.
Still in pain but thats life, will be making sure I try not to fall over again, unless I'm too drunk to notice!
