Rocking in the Disabled Zone

I am going to see Fall Out Boy tonight. Awesome, no? Basically, this is a pre-wrote post because I'm probably in a car right now and realistically won't get to write this post on Saturday.

We're going to be in the seating, went through the disabled tickets. I'm not actually sure if there is actually a zone, but I would imagine there is because they have to have seats reserved for disabled people and can't actually sell them. My mum called up for concert that was meant to be sold out and got tickets because of this.

I kinda wished I could gone standing but then I would be by myself and I would have try to get right at the front anyway. We will actually be right at the front in the seating. Not sure that is good seating and not. Hopefully it will be because I imagine it probably be all the same seating and we going to see McBusted next month (Yeah, I am that cool). I'm meant to be going to the Hydro three times this year and it all for things that kinda broke up. Fall Out Boy obviously had their hiatus. Busted lost a band member (who is a proper example of a sold out). I'm also going to see the Still Game show, for those who don't know Still Game was a very popular show in Scotland and the people who made it fell out with each other. They agreed to live show to happen.

So I'm seeing all break-ups this year. I wanted to also go see Kids in Glass Houses as they are breaking up and doing one last tour but can't because it right before I leave for Florida.

Update on the saga of the non-existent placement. I was ill on Monday so couldn't make it to college, went in on Monday to a missing class. I was majorly fuck off by this point so I went outside to call my mum to rant (there is no reception in the actual college for some reason). I told her I was tempted to just walk it but she called them to find out where there were (I'm selective mute and hate interacting with people, especially when I'm annoyed). We told that we not to bug the reception about our classroom locations.

There were in the fucking library. They have no reason to be in the Library, they can't even get login on to the library computers. The course-runner actually like I should have been psychically able to tell or that it was a obvious place to find them. The CR was rude on the phone to my mum.

So I finally came face-to-face with the CR who lead preceded to lie to me like I was idiot. She tried to save the reason I didn't have a placement yet was because of my attendance. I've been off three times, all explained and were all together. I'm also not the only person who didn't have a placement. I told her that just wanted to quit now anyway because the course had mostly been a waste of time, her specific class being the main factor. It’s meant to be employability skills but she hasn't actually taught anything in weeks. She try say other people had benefit from it, using the idiot of the group. I know that mean thing to say, but she asks the most irrelevant questions and doesn't strand assignments even when they've been clearly explained.

She said if I stayed on the course I would she would get me a placement which she did, but not in hotel like I wanted. In a cafe that must be where everyone gets their work placement in the nearest town. I'm almost told to fuck herself then. I didn't because apparently social norms and that.

I'm technically still on the course but I'm refusing to do nothing. I'm not taking part in the Presentation or the charity event which the idiot is now running. My main problem with it is the quiz is that it's asking you to guess the name, the breed, and age of a rescue dog. There is probably no way to know his exact age or breed. The main reason I'm not taking part is that I might still quit so they should just prepare to do it without me. Also with the presentation thing, if I'm not allowed to say it been terrible then I'm not saying anything all.

I'm meant to be respectfully to them when they've nothing close to like that with me, just doesn't fly in my head especially as soon as this is over I'm having nothing to do with any of them and will be telling everyone I know not to go near them.

That all for this week, I'm off to see Fall Out Boy and sit through a meal that promises to be at least awkward. I'll probably tell you about it next week and hopefully have pictures- of the concert I mean.

A Forgetive Note

I just realise that I forgot to talk about the Advise session I had last week, which was stupid of me considering how short last week's post was. I guess no damage done as I can obviously talk about it this time.

Petty standard stuff except for the fact that they negated to call out my course so everyone that was there for it missed the beginning of the talk thing about the college.Frankly, I don't know why there just didn't have a talk for each course since I know other people for that course had been there yesterday and there was another one right after us. The talk was the same as last time and boring.

We then had to wait ages for to be interviewed, our course really lucked out on that. Most of us were still waiting when the next Advise Session was meant to start. They said I was over qualification but I could get in if I want or just do the two highers. I kinda want to discuss it more with them. I'm not sure. I have to think about it. There sent me a weird email saying I have a conditional saying something about proof. I think that mean they want to see my SQA certificates as I forgot to bring them with me.

So the course thing I'm is a joke. Only one person got a placement this week and that was actually at the college canteen. The person running the course is joke. Her excuse was that she was sick last week but it was meant to be sort at least 3 weeks ago. She also claimed that I hadn't told her what I wanted to do. Lies. I filled out the form like everyone else. It very disappointing as it was one of the main reason I stayed on the course. Why couldn't I have got on the Springboard course?

Books came today. Got two more coming and that should be all the books that I have paid for coming in the mail. That all I really want to say this week. My reviews this week were done on the scape of my teeth and some might able to question the date I claim they appeared on this blog but oh well, I got them all read and reviewed this week. I see you in the next where I will be reviewing books that I have been out for a months (but not years) and probably bitching about something.

Banning myself from the Internet

Back to college I went. It was actually quite good week as we had days of learning everyday We had health and safety and WorldHost which are both recognisable certificates. We meant to be having our work placement next week but we have yet to hear any thing about it. It's terrible, it one of the main reason I stayed on the course.

I need to save money. I need to save money for Florida. I have took the action of parent blocking myself from shopping website. I plan not to spend any money on anything else until I go to Florida except on Florida related stuff. I have brought too many books and other junk. I recently brought a PS3 off my sister for quite the sum. I have brought books that already this month. One day, it took me one day.

In an effect to make as awkward as possible, I have parent blocked myself from shopping websites. I do have the password. The point is to put as many barriers as possible in moments of extreme weakness. Remind myself why I'm not buying any books. Florida. I need money for Florida.

I'm off to chant to myself. Good day madames.
