So let me just recap over the past day starting from about my first day of college, which was yesterday.

College was actually quite great, I met a few new people (Well several actually) but I mean a few to whom I actually talked to and am sort of on friendly basis with.
Me and my media studies class all seem to get on well with each other, bearing in mind that this is just one lesson in so far, but anyway, we had to introduce each other in pairs, to who we were sat next too.
I was sat next to a girl and she was quite nice, literally very giggly and also very nice to talk to, but I'd like to be friends with her properly and maybe with the others on the table. Because the best thing about going to a new college is that very few people actually know you so your a stranger, and there are so few minimal students there from my old school,
Though I much prefer these new people to the ones from my old school, and I ike the college for all the freedom it gives..a place where you are treated like adults.

Now we move onto today, to say the least that Induction day is tolerable (We're talking about my new job induction at  JS today) because not only did we sit in a room listening to this woman give us information on different jobs, which as you can tell is off-putting enough anyway! But it was for hours and hours. We got sweets, but I think I may have to cut back on them from now on, especialy seeing as they raise the blood pressure in your body, and especially causes me headaches.
But to vent my anger that I am currently feeling would be colossal. You've all heard of male lions muscling on anothers territory? Because what I am about to tell you all is the story of how I met someone nice or rather, aternatively, how she met me.

I arrived late for Induction this morning, that being because the letter I recieved told me that I had to go in for 10AM, now they didn't mind because it is an easy mistake to make.
So I sit down and listen for hours on end until midday break which is about twenty minutes, so I start to wander around the shop and I get bored so I loiter around (Bearing in mind most of the of the others are having their fags at this point) for a bit, outside the cafe.
I recognized her and so we walked back to the room to await everyone else, because she I don't think she smoked, and we were bored. We chatted for a bit, you know, the usual until the woman came back and starting talking for another two hours.
I think I must have hit a small nerve with this girl, for when we went for lunch, she walked part of the way with me and sat at the same table (You know, nothing special) but ultimately a sign of friendship.

On the way I had heard muttering behind me  (As a lot of cowardly people I know from my old school, do ) and I saw another from the group, to whom I knew from school, and I distinctly heard my name amongst it. Maybe it is because it was so unusal for me to be walking and taking to someone new? But, I kind of know why he may have been talking about me before, I get the heavy feeling he didn't like the fact that I was different from school, in that I could actually talk to people beyond the normal parameters of his prejudice.
And I then, I think he does the most bayish thing as possible (Bearing in mind his could be me wildly speculating) he starts to get more friendly with this girl, because he thinks I may have wanted to go out with her. Which I don't, but he is that spiteful that he doesn't want me to actually have friends there.
If that makes sense? What further enforces the point is that he could have talked and made friends with this girl yesterday,but chose to today when he saw a possible friendship emerge between me and her, because he is that spitefull and adamant that I must retain his status of me, to all else, which would probably be something like 'uncool' or 'keaner' or summat weird like that.

I was going to walk part of the way back with her, but he got there first and he must have said something or she would have said 'goodbye' or something. And its because I was practically thought as nothing in my old school, only worthy of being whispered about and have that status retained so that I can't socialise. Its this attitude I fear may happen in College with some of the less nicer individuals from my old school, probably trying to muck upp and chance of making new frends and al because they wouldn't want me to ruin their status of who they consider me.

But do you all see where I am comng from? how, according to some people that dislike me and who want everyone ese to perceve me the way they do, and how it is possible that he may have influenced her to not like me that much.
I have only two more induction thingies to go, and then work properly on Thursdays and Sundays, and the only way to find out would be if she did talk to me.

I'm not asking of sympathy, but I just needed to vent my feelings on how unjust and evil some people can be.

So a few days have passed in which luck has arrived in three ways:
nin
A. As you all know that my results day was yesterday on Thursday, well, I got my results and I...PASSED NINE OUT OF TEN OF THEM! WOOO!

Anyway, they go as follows:

C grade in Maths - I was execting to get a B, but a C is good enough.
C grade in Citizenship Studies -  This subject I cared next to nothing about, but it is is basicaly general knowledge and easy to answer.
CC in Science - Yes, it was a double award and I was expecting lower but surpassed myself anyway. So that makes a total of four C grades!
B in English Literature - I expected a high grade even if I did muck up the exam, because my coursework were mainly A's anyway...
B in English Language - Still expected anyway,
BB in Applied Business - Again, high coursework marks and a C grade in finance could only mean I would get a high grade - And I did! And that tops and impressive four C's with an equally impressive four B's!
A grade in Art - Yet again more good coursework and topped with my exam equals my highest grade...which leads me onto my lowest grade.
D grade in Religous Studies-  An utterly pointless subjet that is forced upon us as compulsory, and we had three teachers which led to us being bored with it by year two. But that is one out of ten exam results that equal a minimum pass, though in my books and everyone elses - A pass grade is the C grade.

Onto my next bit of luck which comes as second of importance...

B. As mentioned previously, I was contacted by Sainsbury's again to organise an interview, which was this evening. It was a very informal one because it was mainly chatting to me about hours, and with me getting a high chance anyway, well lets just say that I no officially have a job.
Induction days are on the following Saturday 2nd of September from 9AM though until 5PM, Tuesday September the Fifth from 1PM until 5PM and the same for the following Wednesday, and for those who don't know what induction is, then I shall tell you. (As I am sure everyone does know it anyway)
Induction is the training anyone who has had a successfull aplication for a job recieves, for me I have applied for Checkout assistant and so I need to work the checkout and how to meet and greet people and get to know the rest of the staff. Earlier whilst shopping with Mum, I saw one from my old school on the checkouts - Im sure she'll talk to me.

Anyway as another note, my total wages per week would be around £50 (Because it is from 11AM to 5PM on Sundays and one Five hour evening shift during the week) and that is good and there is overtime aswell!
I am going to keep my paper round that takes up the less amount of time, which is the Harrow road one but keep the morning one as that isn't as long. I do this because college would be a lot of strain and I will definately need a lot of time.
So with two rounds as opposed to three (And maybe drop one later in the year or next), I will be earning around £60 -£70 per week and a lot of it will be going into savings.

So the next isn't so much luck but a Doctor Who pleasantry.

C. My New Series figures have arrived and I have to say that the company, CO, have excelled themselves with these 'new' Series One, Two and Three figures. I have still two to yet arrive, but hey the really good ones are here and mine!
I got: Doctor Constantine with cane and removable gas mask head (with the other being his normal, much better detailed head), Judoon Trooper and Captain with guns and the things they use to catalogue lifeforms with and I also got Novice Hame with gun accesspry.
Yet to arrrive are Martha Jones and the feline Brannigan.

On another small note, I also got the Timeflight/Arc of Infiniy boxset - I haven't watched them yet but  will do tomorrow. They seem to have a lot of bad reviews from DWM, as with many of the other JNT episodes of the eighties. But whether they or good or bad is for me to decide.
I also got Jekyll the complete series on DVD, it was amazing that I couldn't resist. When  say 'I', I mean my Dad and these are presents for my nine pass grades.

DWO have just opened their very own shop and I have been veery supportive, I have ordered the Talons of Weng Chiang  from them. They may be procey but at least they are a shop run by genuine Doctor Who fans. It'll arrive at the weekend.
