Well I finally got my eyes tested! I was due to be tested at the end of Feb so I didn't go that far over really. I just didn't want to go to the Spec Savers in Blackburn as my family have had bad experiences there.
So I was in the town yesterday and I thought that I would find somewhere to go and book an appointment as I need them done as it is two years since I had them done and also I needed some new glasses.
So I went into Vision Express and I got an appointment there and then and was saw by this girl who was about my age and very funny. I had this thing where to put fast bursts of air into your eyes - three times in each - and she said I might just a little. A little?! I nearly jumped into the ceiling the first time she did it lol
Had my eye test and then she got another girl to help me pick a pair of glasses that looked OK on me as the ones I have now I don't think look good and my dad helped me pick them and he wasn't very helpful.
I tried quite a few pairs on and once I got out of the designer section I found a really lovely pair. Up till then every pair I tried on I didn't like the look of as soon as I saw myself with them on but when I put these on I knew straight away - they looked good! They are a metal frame that is a bronze colour and it goes with my blond hair and my skin tone.
I got them with scratch and glare resistant lenses and I also got a loyalty card too, the loyalty card is in case I break them or damage them in any way I can have them replaced or fixed depending on the damage for free which is good. My card also gives friends and family 10% off their glasses which I thought was good. The card cost £20 and lasts two years so value for money really if I break them because £20 is a lot cheaper than having to buy another pair if I break them.
They stock lenses there but didn't have mine in for one of my eyes as it goes slightly higher than what they stock so I have to pick them up oWednesdayay after 1pm I think she said. I am in town (area) at 12:30 for an appointment on Wednesday anyway so I can call into the town centre on my way back home :O)
So now I had my eyes tested and got new glasses I now can have my driving lessons as I was waiting until I got my eyes tested and got new glasses before I had my lessons.
So on the way home from town we called at BSM and I booked my first lesson which is a two hour lesson, I have that a week on Thursday which will be the 29th April. I did say I would have my first lesson at the end of this month or the beginning of next month and it looks like I was right :O) Though I couldn't book my lesson until I had my eyes tested so I am glad I had them tested yesterday.
I am really looking forward to my lesson now and have just over a week to prepare for it, I'm going to do that by reading through the Highway Code a couple of times because it will be helpful to be prepared and know as much about the road and the rules and everything. I have read the book once before but I can't remember a lot of it but it is basically common sense a lot of it.
I won't be taking my theory test until a few weeks before I take my driving test, I decided that a few weeks ago as I was going to take that first but I thought the best thing to do is to have some lessons as I will learn more things at the time of learning to drive.
I am so excited about my lesson but I am very sure that I will be a bad of nerves just before I go on my lesson. I think I will be excited until the day of my lesson and then all of a sudden I will get very nervous about it but I won't be nervous for too long as my lesson is at 11:30am-1:30pm so if I get up at 8am I will only be nervous for 3 1/2 hours lol.
The next week is going to be very busy for me.
I fell really far behind on my course work yet again as again I was ill so I missed sending a TMA in which I have aextensionon for until the end of next week so that means it has to be done by Wednesday at the latest to make sure that it gets there on time.
Not only do I have to do that but I have four weeks of course work and a TMA for my religion course to do by a week today so it can be posted next Monday.
So this week is going to be very busy and maybe a little bit stressful for me and to be honest I will be really happy when my Social Sciences course finishes in June because I haven't enjoyed it as much as I thought I would.
I'm going to be working on my DD100 tma today, I did starThursdayay but had to give up after a couple of hours because my head was banging :O(
So today I have set aside a big chunk of the day so I can try and get it done. The question is really hard and I think I finally get it after reading through it a lot but now I need to go over a lot of the course work and make some notes for the TMA. I can't remember a lot of it because I did a lot of the course work before I was ill so it has gone out of my head. I am hoping to have done about 70% of it today and do little bits of it over the next few days.
The Religion I am doing this month is Hinduism and it is interesting but a lot harder to grasp than Islam. I am enjoying this course so far and I am glad I picked this course but ask me in a few months if I still feel the same, I hope I do but it will be interesting to see if I still am.
The TMA this month has a choice of three questions to pick from and I am going to pick the one I feel I can reach the word limit with and not the easiest one. I will see when I finish all this course work. I am hoping to have that finished by Friday so I can maybe start my TMA next Saturday after I have done the shopping, I won't get much done but maybe I will get some kind of structure done.
I passed my second TMA for A217 with flying colours though I didn't get a better mark than my first tma. I was hoping to get 1% more but I didn't. I hope this month to get 1% more than my last mark, it is something to aim for I guess.
I haven't read my tutors comments for the last one yet, I never really do and I know I should so just before I start my TMA (for A217) I will look through what my tutor said about my last TMA as I am sure it will be helpful. I did read the first line of it and I was getting told off for not doing a bibliography so I will remember to do one of those this time.
Right I guess I better go then, I need to wash up and get the washing out of the washer and then I shall do an hour on my TMA. :O)
