Animation, Natural History and Science

I am struggling to express on here exactly what I did over the past week… give me a moment to gather my thoughts. *Moment passes by…*

Ahh yes! I had work on Monday; it was busy but not so manic! On Tuesday I went to watch Toy Story 3 in 3D, I’ve seen it before therefore, I found it rather tedious, and I fell asleep for most part of it. My friend wanted to watch it in 3D and I generally despise most movies that are in 3D as it gives me a headache from wearing those unsightly glasses, hence it was a waste of money as I did not even wear my glasses or should I call them goggles?.  Ooo however, I am excited about the final Saw movie coming out in October, which will be in 3D, I am looking forward to watching different gruesome, repugnant scenes and flying daggers at the screen!

On Wednesday, again I had work which was not so eventful due to a fewer number of calls, nonetheless it was a nice day at work, friendly callers and great colleagues to work with, which helps the day go that little bit quicker. I generally pass time by lowering colleagues’ office chairs whilst they are seated, rather childish I must admit but try it, do not mock the idea, extremely amusing, okay maybe just a little entertaining when boredom kicks in.

Thursday, I am not too sure, what I did. I think I was at home for the day however, on Friday I went out to eat with a bunch of friends to Tinsletown, had lovely food and yummy milkshakes! Then I dragged a friend of mine to watch ‘We are Family’ an Indian movie at the Odeon in Peninsula Square. The movie is an adaptation of the Hollywood movie ‘Step mom.’ It is a decent movie, but would not pay to watch it again, I would rate it 7/10. I need to mention that the Screen 14 at the Odeon is an absolute shambles! The room is absolutely tiny, it’s basically the size of a wealthy individual’s living room, and the screen itself was not of a decent size either, rather disappointing never going back there again. I know now to stick to the bigger screens or better still the o2 Arena – Cineworld.

The weekend was not so eventful; I had driving on Sunday, which went well. Hmm and today, I visited the Natural History and Science Museum. I would like to say that a lot has changed and not for the better! I was extremely saddened because I remember it to be exceptionally amazing it felt undersized. Overall, I had a great laugh with my friends and largely a nice day out for us.

I will write to you people next week! Toodles!

Long week

Week has been going slow, was at work from Monday-Thursday and I was looking forward to my shopping spree for oh so long! The day finally arrived on Friday! Myself and a friend jetted off to Bluewater shopping centre and it was great! I instantly landed my eyes on a pair of boots in Dorothy Perkins which I didn’t buy in the end because I saw a pair of boots elsewhere that looked a lot nicer so I bought those instead. I also bought a pair of ankle boots from New Look. I found a coat from Mango however I decided to walk about and see if I see anything better and I did, from Karen Millen. My ideal coat, a nice blue colour with silver buttons that stand out like bam bam BAM, but I went for the safer option from Mango instead and I don’t regret it. Although, I am still contemplating to buy the one from Karen Millen too. The only thing that is stopping me is that I’ve seen an amazing coat from Ted Baker’s but I can’t find it in store! I am still on the hunt for that! Oh I also ordered a bag from Oasis and a pair of flats from Asos; however, they’re too big so I’ll be sending those back.

On Monday it was extremely busy, amongst 13 of us or so we took 960 calls! The was the busiest day of that week felt like Clearing A Level day all over again! On the Wednesday of that week it went a little bit quieter.

By the way readers’, Clearing has now officially closed for ALL courses including those that take place at our partner colleges. UCAS has closed Clearing too and have opened the main cycle application, so for those of you who perhaps missed out this year, worry not! Gain some work experience this year whether it is paid or voluntary in the subject area you are interested in and that will enhance your chances of getting on to the course next year 

On a lighter note again, my weekend was nice and relaxing! I look forward to writing my next blog and my weekend too!

Bub-bye

‘Real Boy’ has gone :’(

I would like to dedicate part of this blog to my team leader Richard who is also known as ‘Richers’ or ‘I’m a real boy!’ as I like to call him:-D. I haven’t really known him for long, worked with him during term time at the enquiry unit but we both sat at opposite ends, during clearing he’s been my team leader and a great one at that too. He’s going on to do bigger and better things, studying for a Secondary PGCE in English! It’s been a laugh having been in his team, he’s extremely helpful and a laid bad guy, me and a fellow blogger; Kiran call him ‘Woody’ because we think he’s a spitting image of the Toys Story character ‘Woody’ Tall, slim built, same hair, same face haha!

He left on Thursday! As he is set on becoming a teacher, we decided as a team that it would be nice for us to dress up as school children and he can be the ‘temp’ teacher for the day! Most of us wore skirts, black/grey trousers, and shirts with a school tie, along with pigtails lol!

Moving away from the Rich discussion, I would like to notify readers about clearing. Most of the courses are now closed; in fact all the schools have now come to a close for this year. HOWEVER, some of the courses that run with our partner colleges are still up and running. They start on the 3rd week of September, therefore if you are interested you must apply quickly! Spaces are becoming full and if you’d like to know abit more about what a partner college is and what courses are running you can check on our website at www.gre.ac.uk and go onto the clearing page, or you can give us a free phone call on ‘0800 005 066’ (Applies to UK residents only) For the international enquirers the number is ‘+44 20 8331 8590.’

Alice in the Wonderland

First of all, I would like to apologise for this slightly late update (hey that rhymes!) I wanted to discuss our theme day in the office, which took place on Friday followed by a lovely barbeque in the court yard early evening. Anyhow, I shall come to that, for now I would like to say it has been a slow week surprisingly! The telephones haven’t been as busy as they were in the previous weeks and I’ve got my hearing back; I can hear the little voices in my head again :p
I really enjoyed the bank holiday weekend, I was really appreciating every moment of it... literally! On the Saturday I was thinking to myself, ‘you are at home tomorrow!’ then on the Sunday I was thinking ‘You’ll be relaxing at this time tomorrow too!’ Then came Monday, and I savoured every minute of that day! On Thursday at work the whole office was busy concentrating on how to theme their team for Friday; in-between calls we were colouring, cutting, sticking, throwing new ideas together. The day went faster than usual because we were kept busy doing all sorts of things! Then on Friday fellow team members baked some cakes and brought in sweets because our theme was ‘Alice in wonderland.’ We decorated our little bay, personalised it with all sorts. We decorated our computer screens. I was tweedle dee and a friend of mine was tweedle dum lol! We dressed in hot pink tops and black jeans! We had a little display table full of cup cakes on a cake stand etc; was very pretty indeed.

Later on at the barbeque we announced who won the theme team day, Team Uzma won! Followed closely by us, Team Richard, with just one point less! I wasn’t very hungry so I actually didn’t have any of the food, but others said it was yummy :-D

I shall update you people with more news next week!
