4 Minutes

I remembered something I’d forgotten to mention on my last blog. The day after I went to see French and Saunders I was looking online for reviews to see what other people had wrote when I came across one someone had done and they’d basically lied about the show saying it was only an hour long with a thirty minute break in the middle. It really annoyed me because the show was 2 hours long and had a 15 minute break in the middle like all theatre shows, I don’t know why they felt the need to lie so I decided to write my own review on the site.

So I wrote my review and didn’t think anything about it again until the following week when I got a email. I got a email saying my review had been put forward as review of the month. I couldn’t quite believe it because I’d only wrote my review in response to a load of rubbish and didn’t know there was such a thing as reviewer of the month. I think it’s pretty cool that I’ve been nominated and it doesn’t matter if I don’t win because being nominated is just fantastic all by itself plus I can put it on my CV which is good. I won’t find out if I’ve won until the beginning of next month but if I did win it would be wonderful just as being nominated is wonderful too.
This past week has been pretty dull because I’ve been ill since last Friday. I am feeling much better now but I’m not 100% yet. It’s just so annoying because I’ve no energy to do anything and it’s so frustraiting because I have so much to do and I’ve missed running for a week now but I’m hoping to get out again for a run this weekend although according to the weather it’s gonna piss down.

I am almost three weeks behind on my course work which is 45-60 hours because I’m meant to do 15-20 hours a week. I managed to do a couple of hours yesterday afternoon and I’m going to spend 3-4 hours doing some today. It’s just such a pain because I will now have about two weeks to do six weeks of course work and then a week to do my assignment if I’ve worked the times out correctly so that means a lot of coursework each day and I’d rather not do more than 2-3 daily but I have no choice. If I’d not been ill I could of gotten about 30+ hours done this past week but I was ill so couldn’t do any.

Work still had to be done this week and it was tough with a banging headache and tempreature etc. But got it all done and next week I just have one job to work on which will, thankfully, give me more time to study etc.

As for plans this weekend, well not doing anything today other than Study and hopefully have an early night because I am already tired because I didn’t sleep well last night and was tossing and turning the whole time. Then if it’s not pouring down in the morning I am going to go for a run, then go to JTF and shopping. I am planning on going out for a few hours tomorrow night and Sunday if it’s not raining I am going out for the day but I still haven’t decided where yet. Normally I’d want to go up to my favorite place in the Lakes but I am going there in two weeks anyway so no point in going this weekend.

Herm I think that’s about it....oh if you’ve not heard the song ’4 Minutes’ by Madonna then you really need to hear it. It’s one of the best songs I’ve heard for a long time. I got it on iTunes the other night and have played it almost non stop since.

Oh, how could I forget?!! I finally got Bon Jovi tickets to see them in Twickenham!! I thought I’d have to get them on Ebay at twice thw price because Ticketmaster ran out but then this week Ticketmaster released some more so I finally got two and paid just over £100 which is what I paid for the Manchester ones so I will be seeing them twice within less than a week - once in Manchester and then again in London (Twickenham).

My London plans are slowly coming together. I have my Bon Jovi tickets for the 28th June but we are going down on the 24th first thing in the morning on the train and then in the evening we will be seeing Nial Diamond which of course I wouldn’t normally want to see but my dad is a massive fan so I got him two tickets the other week for his birthday (10th April) and he doesn’t know yet. Then the day after the concert I don’t know what we will be doing but if the weather is good we will be sight-seeing, the places we didn’t see last time, and first thing on the Thursday morning we are off to Paris and he won’t know about that until we go to Paris and then a few days later it’s the Bon Jovi concerts at Twickenham cricket ground and we will be in London for at least two more days after that so it’s going to be at least a week but then I started to look at other places we could go to from London so if I make enough money in the next 2 months we won’t be coming back to Blackburn after the week, we will be going away for about 4 days and then back to London for one more day before coming home. Where I am not saying right now because as I said it all depends on how much I make in the next 2 months because I have yet to buy the train tickets which are £150, then the travel to Paris, then the London hotel is £600 and there are other bits and pieces to pay for so I need around £1200 for all that and then if I am going away for another four days I need another £800 so that’s £2000. Then I need £100 a day spending money so it’s a lot of money and it would mean no clothes or anything much for the next three months so I will have to wait and see how things go. You may be wondering why am I paying for it all....well it’s because it’s a father’s day present from me to my dad and yeah it’s expensive but he’s worth it and we won’t always have things like this together so I want to make the most of it and spoil him. We both love London so it’s gonna be great!!
