WHAT THE FUDGE IS GOING ON!?


GUYS, why the f*ck do you need to sign so much paperwork to just work! Oh my god! I got my Apprenticeship Agreement form, Terms and Conditions, Medical Questionnaire, Personal Details and Bank Details before and I have never been more confused in my life.. I mean, being an 18 year old, I expected to at least know a little about this stuff but I was baffled.. I really was. All I know is that if I f*ck up in the first 12 weeks of my employment, I'm getting fired, and I /really/ don't want that to happen.

They should teach this stuff in school, there should be an Employment Education class. I suppose we kinda did it in PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education) but all I can remember doing is making a CV and watching Mean Girls (Best. Film. Ever.) I can remember as soon as the teacher would say, what film do you want to watch, immediately everyone (including the guys) would just go "MEAN GIRLS!". But seriously, they need to teach us how to fill this sh*t in! I was sitting there with my mum saying "What does it mean?" "Where do I sign?" "Have I done it right?" 

Fortunately enough though, it's all done with and now I can sit here and get excited about my tour tomorrow. I'm going down to chester for 9am and I'm getting a tour of where I'm working and meeting the people I'll be working with. I'm so EXCITED!

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH

I'm so annoyed! So so f*cking annoyed! 

The amount of times in the last few weeks of school that I have been told that I'll have finished school by 20th June and for me to actually get here and have not finished has not impressed me big time. 

All because this teacher told me he was gonna help me for two hours and didn't turn up, then when i gave him my work didn't f*cking mark it. Looks like I'll have to go back on Monday to finish, oh yay.. -.- 

But for now, I'm going to calm down by watching a bit of SacconeJoly's, then spend the night in with my dad watching the FIFA World Cup. :)

Anything annoyed you guys recently? Was something supposed to happen and just didn't? Also, how do you all calm down when you're angry? I need new techniques.. :')

A FURTHER UPDATE ON LIFE

Hi guys! Its been a while since my last post so I thought I'd come back and give you another update on how my life is going!

APPRENTICESHIP
As you may or may not know if you've read the last few posts of my blog, I've applied for an apprenticeship with the company Unilever! They're this big company who are mixed in with almost everything, from food to shampoo! Anyway, I got a reply from my initial application telling me I had got to the next round of the process, which was a small online comprehension test. 

So I did a practise and thought, okay this be fine.. But when I got to doing the actual test, my heart was pounding and the 4 minutes I had for each test just flew by! So when I had finished, my heart sank because honestly, I feel like I've done terribly. It didn't even give me my results at the end so I have to wait for them to email me, telling me whether I was good enough or not :/ It's safe to say I'm nervous!

SCHOOL/COLLEGE
Recently, my school has been going through the process of changing from a normal school to an academy. This basically means that someone has been kind enough to sponsor the school and give it better things.. The name is changing, the uniform is changing and to be honest, I think everything is changing because it really needs it.

Anyway, the school put up a competition to design the new school badge, when our form tutor told us this we were like "Oh, we don't care.. We won't be here.." and then she told us first place prize is the new Apple iMac and 10 runner ups will be getting the new iPads and we were instantly getting involved.. So I designed one and gave it in and a few teachers have been telling me that they really like my design and that it was really imaginative, so I hope I win that! I mean, if I get a place in the apprenticeship and win the iMac, it'll be perfect!

SOCIALISING
In my first few posts I explained a situation I was in and I wasn't the happiest person alive around then. As an overview, basically the guy I speak to most in school, who I hang around with and work with has a girlfriend whose been off at uni for the last year. Me and this guy hadn't spoke much before this year and people starting telling his girlfriend that we were too close for comfort and it cause him and his girlfriend to argue over how close we were and whether we should speak or not, and for a while we didn't speak.

But recently, his girlfriend came back from uni and a few days ago she messaged me, apologising for making me feel like she hated me and wanted to hit me. I told her that I completely understood where she was coming from and that I was sorry for everything that I caused. Now, ever since we're just speaking about shit and it's great. I'm actually really glad we're getting along to be honest.

Anyway, that's all that's happened in my life since my last post, I hope you enjoyed reading it.

Anything happening in your lives? :)

BACK TO REALITY

I went back to school today, oh yay. It's safe to say it's not my favourite place in the world right now. I mean, I used to love it. A few years ago I used to count the days down until I was back and could see my friends again. Now I'm counting the days until I finish completely.

In IT, we're creating a space invaders like game and it's going pretty well for me. I can move my main spaceship, I can shoot and I have an enemy on the screen. Me and a guy I speak to are like the only people who understand it all, but that's probably because we're interested in all that shit.

Science is just.. science really. We're doing catch up, which means sitting in the computer room doing nothing because I can't be bothered at the moment haha. To any people in school who are reading this, do not think it's a good idea to copy me. I'm going to seriously regret it. So get your work done when you're set it because it will come back and bite you on the arse. 

Then comes my favourite part of the day! HOME TIME! Usually, the first thing I do when I get in is drink my coffee, I'm obsessed. When it comes to drinks, I'm not very adventurous. I literally only drink water and coffee, water more so and maybe a glass of orange or a can of coke every so often if I'm out.


As you can see, I decided to go a little adventurous. Every so often I go through a phase of having digestive biscuits (plain) and constantly dunk them in my coffee. Also every so often, I go through a phase of dunking Cadbury's Dairy Milk bars into my coffee.

Guess what?

We had neither. So I found these chocolate digestive to give a try as it's like a mix and it was the worst decision of my life. Literally. If you understand how much I love coffee and food you can see why. Even though the coffee was hot, the chocolate was still cold when you bit into it and the result was just ugh. Not even worth describing.

BUT MY DAY GOT BETTER.

Because I had chippy tea! I got salt and pepper chicken with boiled rice! So delicious! I eat both of them separate too, so as my lips were being melted off by the chicken, the rice was there to cool them down. It was so nice, I recommend it to everyone!

One more thing..

You know how some YouTube channels have certain days to do things? I've decided my Fridays are going to be FACT FRIDAYS. As in, each and every Friday, I'll find a fact that to me is really interesting and will tell you all it. I'll then explain why I find it interesting. What do you think of that?
