I am tired of being angry and wound up all the time. I hate the house, and really dont like living in all the mess. I'm fed up with uni work and i'm not sure that i want to go to Latitude anymore. I'm just really fed up.

Wants to get rid of this blog because its a waste of time, but doesn't know how.......?

Challenges: Week One

Joint Challenge this week is to each make our own mascot from items we find in our recyling boxes, with a little help from extras such as sellotape and glue where needed.

Single Challenge; I'm going to give up straightners for a day. While this doesnt sound a lot, but it is a bit of sacrifice for me. Which is the whole point of these green tasks, they're not meant to be easy, otherwise we wouldnt call them challenges.

So Paul and i will both be blogging later in the week with how we've both got on with these initial tasks.

"Crap at the environment"

You’ve probably come across my blog as a result of reading Paul’s. For those of you don’t know me, i’m Scoggs, the “oldish” friend. We’ve had words about that. I’m really not that old.
I don’t take blogging as seriously as him, namely because i don’t think that i have anything interesting to write about. However, i was particularly excited when he suggested that we strive to become more ‘green’. We’ll do this by completing a solo challenge each week, in addition to a joint one. Our success or otherwise will then be documented on our blogs for others to read, and, hopefully ultimately join in too. After finding myself3/4 of theway through “Crap at the Environment” by Mark Watson, i feel a lot more motivated and an even greater urge to change. Paul’s idea is inspired by Watson’s efforts, although apparently he had the idea first.
I would like to point out that while i draw the line at giving up my straighteners, i’m not as shallow as that may make me appear.

I'm not sure that i want to do this blogging business anymore. Its abit like talking to myself because no one seems to read it. Plus the stuff i like talking about, no one else will probably find interesting. I had planned on writing about the camping trip, my George III seminar and how i'm really enjoying doing the reading for one of essay questions but, i cant imagine that anyone else is remotely interested. It also worries me how i'm nearly at the end of my first year because it probably means that the next two years will go equally as fast. Particularly as studying history has been one of my favourite things to do, and i cant see myself enjoying my chosen career as much, whatever that may be. All i know is i dont want to be a teacher and probably wont live in Ipswich or Derby. As much as i enjoy it, i'd really either like go north to somewhere like Manchester or in completely the other direction and spend some time in brighton, or somewhere similar with a beach, seems appealing. Either way i'd really like a job where i could travel, epecially because the thought of staying in one place seems dull. This just seems really pointless.

P.S.

PLUS, i have a new bikini for my holidays!

Good Times

I HAVE A HOUSE FOR NEXT YEAR! I'm so excited and want to move in now. The bedrooms are HUGE and we each have a double bed, so i can properly stretch out when i sleep and not have to worry about falling out. We've already planned out how we're decorating it, these plans include numerous bean bags, rugs and throws. Plus we're having dance mats and playstations! The only downside is that the garden is completely rubbish, no grass just crappy stones. Its five/ ten mintutes from town but mileage from uni. Our house was the second one that we looked out at today and was such a relief because the first one was a complete let down. It was a house full of boys and was so dirty that we thought we were going to catch something just walking around, althought the estate agent was trying his best to sell it, which was funny! However, signing the contract the other estate was bit of a loser. We had to pay £50 administration costs, when in fact we did it all! It was the most expensive stamps we've ever brought. I dont think it really helped that we were openly laughing at him.

Am going home soon which i'm almost looking forward too because i'm so happy about the house. Plus, will be going camping soon, hopefully, with uni mates for a weekend which should be ace!

Just need to get into work mode now because i havent actually done much since i've been back.
