Dave let me come in after dinner today as I only got 2/3 hours sleep last night. The whole of college is off tomorrow so staff can do paperwork but Mike said he had a spare couple of hours and offered us tomorrow to do a couple of assessments. So I have workshop from 11 to about 2pm or 3pm tomorrow to get up to speed. No full workshop. Just four or five of us alone which is the best way to do it.
Luke the class weirdo who I thought was a decent kid (long story) was on about quitting and staying in touch via Facebook (I blocked him a week ago). He said he'd get more respect in a zoo. You have to earn respect in my opinion and he most certainly hasn't.
From my running and strolling around college I've seen a considerable difference in the size of my derrière. Annoyed that I may not get to run tomorrow because of college but my assessments are more important for the time being.

Started using TweetPhoto. Wrist tattoos are very annoying at bed times.
Workshop tomorrow and did an Auxilary Electrics phase test today. Trés difficile.

So today on my walk on the way to college today, I met some....Latina/Phillapina/Indian woman. I think she was mixed race, her skin was indescribable. She was Latina but nearly black and her lips were almost black, she was quite short and had naturally very very dark brown hair almost black, it would look black if you were to glance at it. Anyway I got harassed by some bloke the other week so I am not too keen on being approached by strangers in this county. So she asked me for directions as she said student services had sent her to somewhere else as the course she wants to study isn't in the college. I was thinking '?', there are no seperate campus as far as I am aware. They told her to go left and there wasn't a left and she was very irate about the situation. So I told her to go back to student services and get direction that are written down very clear. She mentioned about how she had been studying for five years and still hadn't got a job out of it. Her (almost) exact words were 'You study for years and you still end up on the dole'. I told her I had to sign off to come on the course and she was all 'No!? Don't you get some sort of finance?' and I said because I was 19 I could apply for ALG or EMA as I fit into the age and financial boundaries for both. Though I got rejected from ALG and had to apply for EMA and because ALG took a month to sort everything, I applied for EMA more than 28 days after my course start date so I am not eligible for back pay. I also said that my boyfriend had a job and it's not that great sharing one wage and I didn't want to buy his Christmas present with his own money. She said you had to deal with it as most of the time, couples are one one wage. She said at one point that she was working and her partner wasn't and now it's the other way around. I also told her that when Will was at uni I was the one buying him McDonalds and Subway, I paid his fare on the bus etc and now it's the other way around but Will had more than paid back what I spent on him, even though it's not about who spent what on who.
He keeps telling me that his money is my money and I can take as much as I want off him. I feel bad even asking him for a fiver. Though today my money has ran out (from last week) and I need a tenner to get my by for this week. Surprisingly...we have saved £100 this month he says and I have had no income for the past two months. No idea what we are doing to be honest though the food is running out. He gets paid on Friday but this month a lot of it gets spent on Christmas presents. Someone's opened a bloody window in the library!! I'M IN HERE FOR ANOTHER 45 MINUTES
Embarassing moment
My OCD is fluctuating, it gets worse then I try to beat it by ignoring my urges but then for about a week it will get very bad. Matt has his own ironing board and iron that he keeps and uses in his bedroom. He tends to do his ironing in a morning (no idea why as that means he has to get up earlier) and some times he leaves the iron out on top of the ironing board. One day I had a sudden urge to check his room, he has always left it off and I have never gone in with it still pumping out heat. This morning I was in a major rush to catch the 10:10 bus and I had everything done but I dashed upstairs to check the iron. Everytime I do this I tap the door with my nails (quite loud) to see if he is in there because sometimes he has a habit of taking random days of for sod all. No answer. So then I walked in, with my keys clattering on his door. I went in and looked around then saw his bed was unmade (as per) then I noticed a fleshy/orange thing sticking out of the bottom of his bed sheets, then I thought 'Uhhh :-\' and looked to the head of the bed and saw that he was still in it! I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Luckily he was well out of it and as far as I am aware, he has no idea I was in his room. I rang Will and Will says he had the morning off, then it turns out he had the whole day off because he's ill. When you're ill you sleep like a log so hopefully and luckily he didn't know I was there. He didn't even twitch. This window is fucking annoying me with it's bloody cold November breeze on my ankles I shall find out when I go home but if he says anything I'll just say I was on my phone and wandered into his bedroom thinking it was mine then realised it wasn't when I got my head around the door and walked out again. I know for a fact he was sleeping like a hibernating bear so he can't contradict what I say. Though it was bloody embarassing. I thank my lucky stars that he was asleep.
Anywho this random stranger said 'Oh well you've cheered me up now, I was fuming earlier', and I left her at student services and told me to have a nice day. I am not used to getting on with strangers and she made me feel great but I think I came across as a bit uninterested to her. I might see her next year though I doubt she'll remember me.

On Will's insurance now, he took me into the industrial estate where he works (empty on a Sunday) and we had a zoom around.
My theory test expires on the 17th December. Gutted, so I got these flashcards to help. Compact so I can take them to college. Baring in mind I have a year of driving experience behind me but six months of that is manual and six months auto. I think I picked up the feel of Will's MG-ZS baring all that in mind!
Today went quite slowly. Not in a bad way, I just feel like this weekend had been very beneficial.
