Wednesday was quite interesting. Today I was being visited by my ex girlfriend. I hadn't seen her since New Years Day. We had an arguement in January and I basically told her I didn't want to speak to her for a long time. I decided to get back in contact with her to prove to myself that I was over her.
She came around, and I had forgotten my wallet so I had to go back. Then she asked to stay in the house for a bit. This bothered me because I thought she was going to try and have sex with me again. She asked me if I was over her yet, and I said I was, so she proceeded to tell me about her new love interest.
He sounds like a nice guy, and absolutely perfect for her. For the first time since we split up, I was fine with it. I had no jealous feelings whatsoever so this made me happy. I told her about Maddy and she took that well too.
We walked down to Redcar beach and I went to deposit money in the bank. We just talked about our relationship and what would be different if we had stayed together. It wasn't as bad as it could have been. Then we went in to Weatherspoons which I didn't evn know Redcar had and we had dinner, and just talked about our courses at University. She has changed a lot. Not quite so uptight anymore. She has got back to the Deborah I knew a long time ago, the one I fell in love with. Luckily, all those feelings have gone now, because I could never trust her again.
Then she was meeting the guy she dated after me, who she really doesn't like anymore, but trying to keep the peace. I just left her where she was meeting him and went home.
Then, the next 2 days were exactly the same as the beginning of the week, so nothing worth writing about.

30th March 2008 - 1st April 2008
Well, as I warned you, nothing would be worth writing about, which is why it has took me this long to update this.
Literally on Sunday, I woke up, did some work, and had Sunday dinner, then did some more work. That was it.
For the next 2 days I did the same thing. Having no money really takes it's toll on doing anything worth writing about.

I was up till 5 this morning talking to Maddy. She was drunk and had came home upset over an arguement she had with her friend, so I did my best to calm her down. I managed to get her number that way, because I said if she ever needs to talk to someone, she can phone me, but I had no ulterior motive. It was just something that occured to me afterwards.
I woke up at 8, hoping to get ready, finish packing, and do my washing up, as I had burgers last night and the baking tray was greasy. I was too tired however, so I ended up having another 30 minutes in bed, and leaving Claire to clean it up. It's vindictive and petty, but I had to clean her baking tray when she left it for a week after having fish.
I got up and showered, and everything, and then packed away all the things I didn't pack last night. My dirty clothes, my toiletries and my laptop. I didn't realise I had so many dirty clothes... Or clothes in general as it came out as 3 black bin bags full.
Martin, my step-Dad came to pick me up, loaded up the car and we set off. We get on now as I don't live at home anymore. However, the harmony only lasts as long as a week, before we get up each other's noses again. We talked about general things, like our experiences being drunk, and their holiday they had in Scotland last week. We got back to Redcar and I walked into the lounge.
Our dog, Maxi, was being shaved. He was on a big silver table and tied to it so he wouldn't go anyway. I have never seen him so still as just then. My Mother told me how they saw a rat hanging on the bird feeders. I mentioned we should have let Maxi try to find it, but after thinking about it, the rat is probably bigger than Maxi.
After that, the day just went normal. I sat and chatted for a bit, and ate some of my Easter egg. Then I went upstairs and started watching TV and did that for the rest of the day. Then my parents went out, as they are staying at my step-Dad's sister's house. I did some washing and then I phoned my friend Claire from Northern Ireland. That was pretty cool, as I met her on the internet and have known her for just over a year, yet this was the first time I've spoken to her.
After that, I just sat on the internet, continued watching 'Teachers' hoping that Maddy would come online. She goes back home on Monday and doesn't have the internet there, so I have a limited time with her.
Tomorrow is going to be my last lazy day, until I start doing work.

There really isn't much point in making a blog today, but I like to keep things going.
I woke up about 2pm, and decided to go to the bank to give in some money which really eneeds to be in my account. I got ready to go, but then stupidly signed on to MSN. Maddy was online, so I decided to talk to her for a bit. That little bit went on for 4 hours and the bank then closed.
I sat on the internet for a while longer before deciding to eat the steaks and beans that were in the flat as I didn't want to take them home because my Step-Dad would eat them. After eating, I finally decided to pack my things for tomorrow.
It didn't take long because I didn't have the money to wash my clothes, so it will all just be shoved into black bin bags and I'll wash them when at home, which will be the opposite of fun as I can't use their washing machine very well.
Then I just sat around for the night. My Step-Dad is coming in the morning before 10 to pick me up so I wanted to go to bed early, but as always, I am awake at this time typing this blog which no one but me even reads.
I should warn you though, that if anyone is actually reading this, it will be very boring over the next 3 weeks as I have no money to go anywhere or do anything.
Although, I am spending the day with my ex girlfriend on Wednesday, I will hopefully be going on a date with Maddy, and I will have my birthday in the final week.
But, I repeat, if you are looking for a stimulating account of a rip roaringly fun day, you are reading the wrong blog. It is pretty poor when I have things to do, nevermind when all I'll be doing is living the American dream - Sat on my backside in a pair of shorts, watching TV and sleeping a lot. The only problem is, I don't live in America, so I will be seen as a layabout and told to get a job.
God bless England.

The day couldn't have started out any better. Not only did I sleep in through my alarm, but I missed the first seminar in the very important conference I was supposed to be at. We were told that if we didn't go to this, we would fail the second year of the course. I have never got dressed and ready quicker than that before in my life.
I managed to see Shell, who was one of my teachers outside the building and explained what happened and she brought me to where I should be... Yes, I lied to her. I told her the electricity went out in the flat and reset our alarm clocks to 12pm.
I saw our course leader, and she gave me my name tag, which was spelled correctly for a change, and took me to the seminar. It was about trusting strangers I think. I missed the first 10 minutes so I had to sit out and just watch, which was lucky because it was a partner activity, and I would have made the numbers odd. The woman giving the lecture was an interesting lady. She was kind of eccentric. She would be cool to have as your lecturer, but a nightmare to be stuck in a lift with.
After that had finished, we went to the next one which was about learning outdoors. It was so boring, I'm glad it only lasted 45 minutes. After that, there was a speech from the people who made it, then food, but I felt disgusting as I hadn't showered so went home.
I then walked into University to hand in an assignment which I had done that night and it took me less than an hour. Or it would have, if I hadn't spent 4 hours procrastinating.
Then I went shopping and bought some much needed food and supplies, then I went home. I then did absolutely nothing for the rest of the day. After 2 weeks of solid working and hardly any time off, it was so nice to just sit and relax.

Well I woke up early because I had to go in to University today at 9am, so I woke about 8am, then set off 40 minutes later. I couldn't go in the shower because the drain is blocked, so I had to wear my hat all day. It didn't look so bad when I had hair, but now I look like a bit of a fool. I also have started looking like some guy from a TV show everyone keeps saying I look like.
I went into Applied Networking, and sat through the lecture. It was interesting. The subject is quite boring, but Phil, the lecturer is really funny and cool, so he makes it interesting. Then he took us to see the University server which is very unique as it is the only server in the world that doesn't need air conditioning. That solves the mystery of why it crashes all the time.
Then we went to Research Methods, and of course, Jenni started being a bitch because I had missed lessons, but every time she tried to pick fault, I knocked it back by producing work she thought I hadn't done. That lesson went by smoothly after that. Then they asked me to come in over the holidays for the group work, once a week, but with it being a £15 round trip, I can't do it, so they'll have to make do with emails and live with it.
Then I went home and woke Slater up. He said he would borrow me money so I could Go to Redcar to get some of my birthday money from my parents early. He said he'd get it to me, because the quicker he gave it to me, the quicker I could get back to Redcar. A couple of hours went by and I just killed time. Eventually, Mandeep gave me the money because Slater was being lazy, so I walked to the train station.
The second I turned up at the station, my train appeared, so I was pretty lucky. I had my headphones in my ears, and faced the window, so when the ticket man came round, he ignored me and I didn't pay. I was hoping to get away with it on the way back, which I have yet to do. The train was very boring and I was having trouble staying awake.
Eventually, the, what like 3 weeks, train ride pulled into Middlesbrough station. Since I left Middlesbrough, and moved to Sunderland, I've felt really nostalgic for the town. Yeah it's scruffy and crawling with undesirables, but it is MY cesspit. I walked through the town, towards the bus station, trying not to look at all the DVDs as I walked through Zavvi.
I got on the bus, and asked for a return to Redcar. It was £4.60. The busses have really got expensive around Middlesbrough recently. I don't understand where the money is going because the busses are terrible. It doesn't help that I have to get the 63, which everyone in Middlesbrough hates. The journey took too long as always as it was right at the beginning of rush hour, but the 63 is impossible if you want to get anywhere.
I got home to be greeted by Maxi, our dog. He was too excited. He didn't know what to do so he just ran backwards and forwords making a strange noise. I saw my sister Danielle, said hello, then went into the lounge, which has changed a lot since I was last there. There was so much brown, it looked as if Snuffelupagus or however it is spelled, had exploded in there. They had a huge big screen TV though, which I will enjoy watching the football on over the 3 weeks.
My Mother came in, but didn't have the money so she sent me to the back to get it. I did, gave her the card back and then set off for home, taking the same journey back. I wanted to get away with not paying again, but again, the guy came and asked for my ticket, so I had to buy one. I realised why I always get caught on the way back though, and it's because Middlesbrough is the first stop, so everyone on it must have just got on.
I saw a friend on the train and sat with her, and caught up. I've known her for years. I used to walk to her house on Sunday morning, and get a lift with her, her sister and her Dad to Church and to the youthclub I went to, TNT. Eventually, we just kind of stopped seeing each other because I am 2 years older than her, and I turned away from religion. She was a lot more tolerable now than what I remember. I preferred her sister because she was less of a pain. She now goes to my University, but we live in seperate halls of residence, so we parted ways in the town, and went back home.
I got home, and then went to the shop. I bought some pasta and sauce, and Craig, the boyfriend of one of my flatmates, gave me the extra bit of steak they had. Considering I've been living on bread and beans for 2 weeks, this was the best meal I had ever had, as far as I was concerned.
Then I decided to start the assignment that has to be in tomorrow. I've been doing that ever since. I'm not looking forword to tomorrow. Some big teaching conference we all have to go to. It sounds like it's going to be so boring, then we are going for a meal.

Well I stayed up all night, barring 2 hours I managed to get, and the website came back on at about 8am, so I sat and did it. I got it finished by about 2pm, sent it, then went to bed for a couple of hours.
Nothing really to say today, as the rest of the day, we just sat and chatted about this and that.
Pretty boring day really.
