No work today!

...and no, I'm not skiving neither. I took the day off cos I had to see the dentist and optician today. I've just come back from the dentists and was pleased to hear that there was no problems and just come back in 6 months. He didn't let me go without having a quick polish however which leaves your mouth all dry from the sucky pipe thing they use.

When I came back, I took delivery of a package which was addressed to me! Upon opening it, I found that it was in fact stage 2 of my course. Frankly I was stunned at the amount of study material I now have to go through. I literally have books the combined size of 3 copies of the yellow pages to read my way through and do the assignments and projects. It's gonna take me the best part of 3 months I guess. Bleh. I need to do me a training schedule and keep to it, most likely nicely coloured with pretty symbold, in homage to Arnold Rimmer of Red Dwarf (And then find that I took so much time doing the timetable that I never actually had time for the studying ;).

Will be setting off to the opticians shortly to get my eyes checked. I think that my eyes may have got a bit worse but I paid a huge sum for a pair of glassess not too long ago and am not looking forward to paying lots of money again. After that, I'll be going to the movies with Kashy and maybe going to PC Arena too. I'm sure I'll post details of all that here later.

What a looooooong day!

I've only just got in since my last LJ post where I left it saying I was off to see the opticians. Details follow...

The eye test was pretty uneventful, my eyes have only changed fractionally in the last 2 years so I don't need to shell out for another pair of lenses which is good. The optician was also able to explain my eyelid twitching and headaches I've been having recently. They are not anything to do with my eyesight, they are simply due to stress. More evidence that my job is bad for my health.

Anyway, after the opticians, I called kashyfox but he was stuck cooking dinner for his family so I decided to wonder around town. Now, I can't wonder around Southampton without buying anything and so I came away with quite a bit

( What I bought... )

Finally met up with Kashy at Starbucks but neither of us felt like coffee so we went off to cash in some games Kashy had in CEX and in turn, he got The Getaway. Wondered off to PC Arena for a bit and played Battlefield 1942 and Wolfenstein until we got bored (We were the only ones there so did get kinda boring). Went back to Kashy's and had some curry which was really nice.

Later went off to Splithoof's place as we were going to go to the cinema. However we couldn't decide on what to see so instead, we agreed not to see anything and I was to go home. I waited for the bus but after 20 mins, it hadn't turned up and I was getting more and more frustrated. I truely hate busses, give me trains any day. I found out the time of the next train to find that I just missed one and the next was in an hour so I went back to Splithoof's for the company of Split and his boyfriend, Bunniboy and Kashy. We had pizza which I really didn't need but was really tasty and then I made my way home.

Managed to blag a free trip on the train with my train pass to London so at least that makes up for paying for a return bus ticket earlier. Worked off the pizza in the 30min uphil walk back to my place from the station and now I'm exhausted and need to have a well earnt sleep. I definitley made the most of this day off, even moreso that that of an average weekend :)

Work tomorrow... bleh :( *collapses*
