New Home!

I have moved this blog over to WordPress. I feel that the two blogs are in completely different veins and I feel that maybe it would be better to separate them. I hope in time that they will merge into one but I like the feel of this one too. It's nice to have a space without my name on it to really be able to express my feelings. Yes it may be the same things and most likely people realise it's me, but I feel like it's easier to say some things here.
I know it's a bit all over the place but for now this is how it shall be..

c'est la vie

Txt Spk....

I'm sitting here reading some posts on Failbook and it is really starting to annoy me.
People that talk lik dis wiv al da mad spellin n all actually have to use more effort to type like that. What is wrong with using correct spelling and grammar? I don't understand the theory behind it. You can change the language on Facebook to this stupid "language". It completely baffles me!

We go to school from the age of five. We learn to speak from, for some people, at the age of 1. We are taught correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, the basics of language! While there are numerous intellectual disabilities which can inhibit peoples ability to spell correctly etc and I don't deny this. I'm not talking about that. What irritates me are the people that choose to talk like that. Text speak is causing issues in schools, with students confusing the spellings and creating more issues for themselves regarding school and then college.

I plan on being a teacher in a few years and I hope that this phase has passed. I hate it. It irritates me beyond belief. It has spread into all ages now as well, which is worse. Why has it become so socially acceptable as well? When I send a text, it has correct spelling and punctuation. A friend sent me a text before and it took me almost ten minutes to decode what she was saying, with help!

Right, I'm very glad I got that off my chest!

Total rubbish. It's always just total rubbish.

Sitting here aimlessly looking at a blank screen, desperately wanting to write something amazing.

Maybe it doesn't have to be monumental.

Maybe it doesn't have to be fantastic.

Maybe this is what it's meant to be.

Rubbish.

Keeping Busy

So after moving my room around, I much prefer it this way. I can see straight out the window when I wake up, which is an amazing view! It's not very perfect for the whole feng shui thing but I like it. There is a bad thing about having built in wardrobes, there are only so many places you can put stuff!

I'm sitting watching Cold Case as I blog, sitting in a very comfy little spot on the bed and I can say that I would happily lie here all day and night. Give me a bowl of popcorn and a bag of plums and I will be happy as hell!

Very little has been happening in my little world. I go to work every evening and sleep quite late in the day, which bothers me. I have been trying to not sleep too late so that when I get back to college I'm in some way used to not having more than three hours sleep. It takes around two hours to fall asleep each night so I'm awake until 4 in the morning, which is leaving me exhausted all day. It's a right pain in the behind.

I'm pretty fed up lately, everything and anything is irritating or upsetting me. I don't feel myself really, so I'm quite out of sorts. It's why I keep moving everything around, putting stuff in different places, losing things, dropping things. Hopefully in a few days I'll be back to myself. I've started cycling again, so getting some serious fresh air and exercise, which can't hurt at all!

Work is going well, but the hours are really starting to take it's toll on me. I'm not really sure how long I will be able to keep them up. If I'm tired now, what way will I be in a few weeks when college starts back? I'm going into final year, so that has to be my main priority, above any money.

I might put up some other bits I've written in a while, we'll see! I have been writing/thinking for a long time now but have never put anything up so someone else could see them. I appreciate that probably no one will ever read it on this either!!

Chow for now!

nothingness really

Decided to start a new blog away from the other stuff as I am always sitting and thinking of all this stuff to say, so I may as well write it down. I should stop really keeping it in my head as it makes it so much easier to write when it comes to it!
Just found out that Sainsbury's are doing my favourite food so I'm quite happy now!

I'm trying to get motivated to keep up the reading for college this year. I have around four more to read, maybe five, and I just keep forgetting/putting it off. It's very unlike me which is starting to annoy me, cos the book I'm actually reading is really good. It's called 'Absalom, Absalom!' by William Faulkner and it was first published in 1936. It's fascinating, but I'm only on Chapter 2, so I'm not really sure what's happening so far!

I haven't been feeling all that well as of late, very short of attention and motivation. Hence the whole taking a break from this and going and moving my room around. I like it, I have a lot more room now but the only thing is the back of my bed, which is really meant to be against the wall is now in the middle of the floor. Ah well! I like it so I don't really care!

I am in work in an hour, so I should really go and finish off my room and get dressed. Pain in the face but what can ya do?
