Day ten; Oh the happiness!

This morning I had quite a shocking awakening; it is the first time I had set my alarm on my phone. I swear, I think I had a seizure when I heard the massively high-pitched tune blaring out causing me to fall out of my bed, then trying to figure out how to disable it. It took me another 2 minutes to turn it off. Once that was over with, my head was thumping so I threw myself back into bed and stayed there for the next hour until my headache had gone.

Not much is remembered from then until I got to school. Once there, I had the usual pleasure of insulting this kid who sits behind me. Once registration had ended, I made my way to PE. Basketball was a breeze and our team dominated to say the least. After PE had ended, I made my way to the munch-out area which our group of friends has claimed. Bethanie had been recently making the most delicious cookies ever, most of which were being given to me (gotta love her). Break was relatively normal, with the exception of a few people popping up out of nowhere and shouting at me 'Reiss do you go out with ____?!' which was ofcourse a pleasure.

After break we had science. In preparation for our exams we had 2 science practice papers, which made that lesson drag on for so long! I was impressed with my end result; it proved I knew more than I thought I did, which made me really happy. Upon being released from science, I headed immediately to the munch-out area (even though I was supposed to be on prefect duty). Within 2 minutes I was harassed about the same thing again and I saw Bethanie again. We hung out with the others and just generally had a laugh. After that, I had history. I missed out the second half to go to this business/maths meeting about a company called Mercer. After that, I headed back to form. Once we were released, I headed with Kat and Sadie to the ICT rooms.

Whilst we were there, we done literally nothing. Then we headed to the bus stop. Can't remember much, although I remember seeing Joe and walking back with him. I was being a right comedian, that much I can remember. I got in, got changed and a friend came over for a bit. We had a right laugh...maybe even too much of a laugh, then she had to go and I gots sad. From then, all I have done is eaten my dinner, walked the dogs and writing this blog post.

Thank you for reading. This has been day ten. Much love to you all!

Day nine; Game completion, Laptop getting repaired and VERY happy!!

I honestly don't remember the start of today; my memory is getting even worse! The earliest possible memory from today is me helping my mother move random things around the garden which proved quite a messy job. Once I was done with that, I threw myself on my sofa and instantly flicked on the Xbox -yet again to resume my progress in Fallout: New Vegas. From that point it took me 2 and a half hours to finalise the campaign. Because I do not have an expansion for this game yet, I cannot progress any further; all I get is the repetition of the last level. I have gotta say, the last mission is amazing though. You'll love it! Moving on...

About 10 minutes after I completed it, my dad turned up. We had a chat and I finished my cup of tea. I grabbed my laptop, we headed off to Currys at the Lakeside Retail Park, I handed it in for repairs and then we left. We then drove to the main part of Lakeside and stopped off at KFC so my dad could have something to eat. I didn't want anything, so I settled for a drink. We then drove home.

Once I was home, my dad dropped me off and went. I had dinner and sat on Facebook talking to Bethanie for hours on end. This continued for the next few hours. All of this made me amazingly happy and for the last half an hour I haven't been able to wipe this massive grin off my face. Unfortunately, she left to go to sleep around 20 minutes ago (she's a good girl, I go to bed at stupid hours). Now here I am, listening to a Beethoven symphony whilst smiling like there is no tomorrow. Let me just say that this is an amazing tune. I recommend listening.

This has been day nine. Thank you ever so much for reading and I love every single one of you...except Jordan.

Day eight; An early visitor & Annoyances

Woke up at 7AM today, which isn't really normal for a Saturday. After 5 minutes I fell asleep once more. I then awoke to my mum moaning at my dogs at 9AM. This wasn't a very pleasant awakening to say the least. I then got up, went downstairs and lazed around for a few minutes. Went back upstairs, got changed and helped tidying up a little bit.

An hour later and Bethanie arrives at my house. She comes in only to be attacked by my dog...well, when I say 'attacked', I mean harassed until she sat down then he tried to sit on her. But yeah, we had a laugh for just over an hour; plenty of giggles, playful insults and hugs. She made everything great, but the day got worse and worse after she left -I walked her back to her place and then walked back to mine. Me and my mum went to the bus stop and it poured down with rain, we was waiting for a bus to Lakeside.Once we got to Lakeside, we bought some random bits -including my new phone.

As we got home, I stuck the phone on charge and mum left to see Nan, which left me on my own which wasn't fun. The next few hours would go extremely slow and let me feeling more and more lonely as the day progressed...but then Jordan came round. We had a few disagreements but ultimately he was a laugh. After he had left, I had yet more alone time. When my mum finally got home, we tried to assemble the phone...turns out it hadn't charged, I had to take this tape off of the battery. This made me quite angry seeing as it had been on 'charge' for about 6 hours.

I ran upstairs and tried to charge it again. With minimal battery in it, I tried to set it up. This became increasingly frustrating. Then I noticed that I had the numbers of everyone on Facebook and from my mum's Sim, so I tried to find a way to delete them. I spent half an hour scrolling through menus attempting to delete ONE contact. Alas, I failed.

I gave up and watched 127 Hours, an amazing, albeit boring, film. After that, tried once more. I gave up completely after that. Then I got verbally assaulted by my mum, which is never usually nice. From that point on she has been quite unnecessary toward me; getting angry over nothing. I am currently writing this in the dark confines of my bedroom.

Sorry for the lack of happy. Regards, Reiss.

Day seven; She clocked it & Hyperactiveness

Woke up around 7:30 today. I don't remember much if I am honest. Went to the shops and bought an orange Lucozade and a Galaxy bar; I stilled owed Bethanie her chocolate. Then Jordan came to me. We walked towards school for two minutes, then I slung my other bag over my shoulder and made sure everything was secure in my pockets. I then told him to ride fast. He did. I ran after him and threw myself on his back, tried to stabilise our balance on the stuntpegs, then pointed forward and screamed 'ONWARDS!' like some sort of general. Basically, I hitched a ride to school because I am lazy.

The first half of school [SCENE MISSING]. After second break, we had maths. Standing outside the maths corridor, I saw Emily (she's my little munchkin) so I rushed her and hugged her...then proceeded to start tickling her - she hates that. I continued for 30 seconds before we got called in. As me and the munchkin walked into the room, she threatened to punch me in the face. Jack, being the legend that he is, jumped in-between us, pointed at my face and went 'Yeahhh!!'. Emily then tried to poke me in the sides; it's my weak spot. Jack then tried. I threw myself backwards and attacked Jack. This retarded looking fight lasted for about 5 minutes before we were eventually hushed.

The lesson dragged, but at one point one of us had put the clock forward by 10 minutes. About an hour later and we were released...ten minutes early. Miss checked the time on her computer, saw that we were out 10 minutes earlier and shouted at us to come back. Many ran and hid in the toilets, I walked back. Eventually the head-teacher got involved (kinda) and one of us grassed the boy up.

I walked home with Emily and Hayley and we split up and went our own ways halfway through. Once home I had the munch out of the fridge, Fallout: New Vegas playing and iPad to my side...and soon to have my dog asleep on me. This continued for a few hours whilst I was having quite an 'unusual' conversation with Hayley over Facebook.. Then I had dinner and watched a film; the mechanic. Pretty good film. Then I came upstairs, stuck on music and here I am!

I'm writing this a few minutes before I am about to go to bed, so goodnight people!
This has been day seven, thanks for reading.

Day six; The English exam & Long lost friends

I awoke today much later than I had wanted; 1 hours and 30 mins later to be exact. Instead of getting up at 5:45 I ended up throwing myself out of bed at 7:15. Not good when your exam is exactly an hour away. I rushed to get dressed, then I had a nice calm relax with a cup of tea for a few minutes. Then I ran to the local shops, grabbed a Lucozade and a Galaxy chocolate bar and walked as fast as I could to school. Walking towards one of the gates I saw a friend. He was walking in the opposite direction to me. As he approached, he grabbed my arm, pulled me and said 'We've gotta go this way'. I thanked him and hurried along.

Once outside the exam hall, I had 10 minutes to prepare whatever I needed. All I REALLY needed was a nit of energy, so I downed most of my lucozade in one go...this was not a bright idea; the exam lasts 2 hours and 15 minutes, yet I needed to go to the toilet already. This wasn't good. Still, I shrugged it off. For the next few minutes I would be amassing hugs and putting people on edge by giving a creepy 'Good luck, young one..' in their ear. It was rather funny and certainly helped the overall morale.

5 minutes later we was called into the exam hall lobby. This is where we would have to leave our bags and make an orderly queue to walk in. Orderly? Far from it. There were masses of people rushing in, others hugging and bro-fisting and me and a select few we dancing. This was met with creepy stares. As I passed through the doorway, I was stopped and a metal detector was held up to me chest and pockets. As they scanned over the left side of my chest the detector rang. At this moment my heart jumped. I reached into my pocket and fumbled around, finding spare change from when I bought the stuff at the shop. I exhaled deeply as I turned to the teacher and sighed 'It's only money...' and made a jingle with it. She let me pass and I quickly made my way to my seat 'E08'.

A quick lecture and then the papers were passed around. The paper, in my opinion, was a Child's play. The questions were rather easy and I filled almost every space available. I am rather confident. 5 minutes remaining and I notice I had made a mistake, I cross it out and write something else instead. Then, whilst writing, I hear 'Pens down!', I quickly finished my last word erratically, almost throwing my pen when finished. The papers were collected and we were dismissed in silence. We had already gone through first break so we had to go straight to English.

During English we did very little; Munched out, discussed MacBeth and Literature. Once that had finished, we went to second break which consisted of me receiving free food from Bethanie (I do love that one) and also tonnes of hugs (no surprise there). Break went quite fast. Once it was over I had to go to RS (Religious Studies). This is, overall, my favourite lesson; we have an absolutely amazing teacher! He is only in his twenties and is an absolute legend. He also is a funny sod when he wants to be. The lesson flew by, not much is remembered.

I stayed after school to complete some food coursework. This was so funny! Two of my friends, Michael and Jordan, were staying with me and when us three are combined...we cause chaos. We was essentially thrown out of the library. On the way home, me and Michael stood on the stunt pegs on Jordan's bike whilst he drove us home.

Once home, nothing happened. Dad came to visit; bad news. You don't need to know any more. Me and Dan went to KFC, he dropped me off at home and I got talking with a long lost friend again! Her name is Charlotte and she moved away ages ago, but now we've been talking all night. I love this girl so much! But I have had a right laugh with her and I miss her deeply. If you read this, come 'home'! You belong here! But yeah, she's awesome, enough said. But other than that, very little has been done. Oh yeah! My dog wiped his butt on my shirt...charming.

This has been day six! Thank you ever so much for reading.

Day five; English exam preparation & Strange mother

Today I cant really remember how I awoke...oh well. I do remember the journey to school though! Me and Dan were walking along and we was discussing the time he had been attacked by wasps, then out of nowhere a wasp rushes him and stings him in the back of the leg. He helped, launched his whole body forward by about a metre and scared the living sh*t out of me! I almost flinched as much as he threw himself. That's all I can remember for the morning.

Once we arrived at school, I walked fast to form, dropped my bag off, walked even faster to the assembly hall -I was running late and then quickly ran to my seat in the hall. All the assembly was about was a sports week being held. I took very little interest in it.

After assembly we headed to maths. We were doing Angular Bisects and finding the nth term in sequences. Quite easy really. So easy, infact, that a few of us (me included) decided to start doing Phonejacker impressions. This lasted for about an hour until one of the boys got thrown out the lesson. 5 minutes later and I was having a ruler fight with somebody on another table. Let's just say us two have a history of hitting each other with rulers in maths.

Break whizzed by, all I remember is receiving hugs. Then it was time to go to Food. We had to start a new unit of coursework which wasn't really pleasant, but didn't prove to be a major challenge. In that, me and a few friends were discussing girls, you do not need to know any more.

Second break was a let down; our group got shouted at by the head-teacher, which wasn't at all brilliant. Yet again, my memory has failed me here too. Then we all went to English for our final lesson to do revision for tomorrow's exam. That lesson was VERY dull and I felt myself slowly drifting off at one point.

After leaving English I headed back to form, only to be met with 'Reiss! Ben was blowing kisses to Abbie!' (they like to joke around, saying me and Abbie are dating), I said 'WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT BEN?!' in a joking manner, he walked up to me and was effectively sizing me up...infact, he was so close for comfort I was half expecting a bloody kiss. But yeah, then the form tutor walked in and it all got pinned on me. Because I am the good one though, she didn't believe Ben at first so she said 'Okay, who thinks that Reiss would ever start sizing up Ben, raise your hand.' Everyone, being the planks that they are, raised their hands....I did too.

I stayed behind to try and do the food coursework. Alas, I did not succeed. I ended up walking home in the pouring rain! Once home, my computer was on and my kettle was boiling. But yeah, lets move to the present; I remember very little except my mum trying to stick a nose-shaver into my hair for some strange reason.

Day four; B'awws, Yawns and plenty of Goddamn hugs.

Today hasn't been particularly eventful, but I can't say it's been dull. Started off with my mum yelling at me to wake up at 7:15. She must have got the time wrong because it was still 45 minutes before I would have had to leave. But still, I got up, got changed and went downstairs for a lovely cup of tea and a relax. Yet again Dan arrived at my house to walk with me to school.

Rather weird journey; we had some extremely weird discussions and I ended up heaving at one point. He certainly has a sick mind! Anyway, when we got to school, same old same old -registration and off to first lesson. My first lesson today was English. Unfortunately our English teacher has had a foot operation, so we had a substitution teacher. I can't say she was the most lively, but I can't put her down; she means well and she is quite nice. For the 2 or so hours I was in that room, it felt like half a day! Most of it was exam preparation anyway, but I still payed no attention to what was being said. Eventually she asked me a question. I had no idea what to say, so my friend ended up whispering an answer to me. I had blatantly been told, but the teacher honestly didn't care, I guess all she wanted was to get the lesson over with.

During the break, our group got told to move to another place. The staff were getting annoyed about us looming over the same spot every day. That same break I must have set a new record for receiving hugs off of people. I kinda lost count. I'm not complaining though!

For what seemed an eternity later, I was soon in ICT. The coursework for this subject is extremely frustrating! Missing one piece = Failing the course. Although I am missing a whole unit of work, yet I have still attained an A grade. Lucky me? What a meme filled lesson that was. The girls to the right of me, Sadie and Ellis, do not stop mentioning memes. Sometimes I wish I wouldn't start things off, I really do.

ICT ended, had afternoon registration and then I headed back to the ICT room to do some catch-up. Unsurprisingly, there were very few people there, but it didn't matter; I only wanted to get my coursework done before I failed. The stay behind turned out to be quite effective and I finished two whole units (finally) and almost completed my third. In case you don't know, the 'units' are massive, it's basically a tonne of work grouped up in one place.

Got home and played Fallout: New Vegas whilst my friend was sitting next to me and playing with my iPad. I beat him at a few random games whilst also dominating NPCs. Skills, no? He left a little later on, I had dinner, watched random TV and spoke to some friends on Facebook. I ended up writing a status about how I feel about someone, then two minutes later 'OMG WHO?'. I ended up saying in the end, not to many people though. Although I told her too. She was like 'Nawwwww!!! <3<3<3', but then the happy mood died when someone had written something quite unnecessary about her. The 'Naww! <3' turned into plenty of 'Baww.. D:'. An hour later and here I am! I was supposed to be in bed by now but I don't give a damn. I'll give it another 10 minutes or so...

...but anyway! Thank you for reading. This has been day four. Seya tomorrow.
