Some work for the first half of the day, and then I had a frozen coke (it tasted like Coca cola... But frozen) and came back to the school at about 1 PM in order to have some band practice with some guys at school (finally, I've gotten to sing with a group of people who can play their instruments too!). Ran through the songs we're learning for assessment and for a performance night. It's for the most part, the same guys I played "Wish you were here" with last year. Just this time the vocals for the song are a little more fun. 
Even though it is Franz Ferdinand (Take me Out). I just add a little bit of grit, and belt it out harder and it was sounding good. Considering I hadn't heard the song in years, listened to it 10 minutes before the practice and then went in, I did very well. I didn't know the first verse, but everything else I was just nailing. We're also playing Sanitarium from Metallica, which is a little more boring for me vocally. It's too low for my comfortable range (unlike Take me Out), but once I figure out how to get it, I'm fine. We barely practiced it because our drummer and guitarist kept mucking up the chorus (though all else in the song was fine). Pretty good for the first practice session.

Had an alright day yesterday, with a first half that sucked and a second half that was very good. Not going into detail about the bad first half, but in the evening I grabbed something to eat with a couple of friends and then we went to watch Iron Man 3, which was amazing.

It wasn't the best, being unemployed for so long is starting to wear me down. My sister was looking for a new job too, the first one she applied for she got invited to an interview, an hour later she got a phone call saying she got the job.
I'm pleased for her but it's pretty disheartening considering the sheer amount of jobs I have applied for, the number of times I've re-written my CV, and the time I've spent writing up decent cover letters to not be invited to one single interview. The first job she applies for she gets.
Also I'm in dire need of new clothes, but can't afford any. There's a tonne of things I need/want, films I want to see...and I can't do any of it. It's also going to get to a point where I can't afford to keep my car running (MOT is due at the end of this month), but driving is the only thing keeping me sane.
All I want is a job, it's so frustrating because I know I'm pretty intelligent and will be able to cope with most things the employers can throw at me, but no one will give me the chance.
So the first part of my day was pretty crap, but I listened to some music and relaxed a bit, then my girlfriend came over and I've been feeling a bit better since. Sat watching the big bang theory now.

Pretty bad. Really stressful day at school. Then my backpack broke so I had to find an old one that could hardly fit all my stuff.

You're probably right (probably being the operative word). I mean, there's nothing wrong with your C6... Just that the Z06 is just better.
But you need somewhere good (or better/even better than the current) to keep your Vette either way... House > Corvette > Save money on Vette in future as prices will drop a bit further. Or go a little more for a C7. But that may be a bit of a stretch... Or more than a stretch.

Slammed my toe against one of my bike spokes. The spoke went under my toenail and lifted my toenail up. It doesn't hurt much but initially it sent a shock through my body. It's bleeding a bit 
Other than that I guess it's been a nice day. Hanging around playing games on Steam and soaking my foot for now. I have a tiny essay to write so I'm going to get to work on that in about an hour.

The past few days have been quite good... bought some stuff, got my hair done, spent time with my family (specially my dad), things with my "girl" are cool again... my team is 2 games away from gaining promotion to the Mexican 1st Division... 
On the downside, my job's internet blocked GTPLANET... so... I'm not as active as before...

Didn't go to sleep till about 2:30 AM this morning. Mainly because my mum was making me move cabinets around the house until after midnight, and once I could finally go to bed, I was too awake to be able to sleep. So I stayed up and went to sleep at 2:30. Four hours and 15 minutes later, my alarm clock frightened the crap out of me to tell me to get up (everytime it goes off my heart is pounding for another minute or two). I had to go into school normal time (had study spell first. So I technically didn't need to be in school until 9:40 AM (I arrive there at 8 AM precisely). But no wait, I read the notices board in the main foyer and a painful group of letters created horrible sounds in my head. Those sounds sounded as such: "Choir practice all day today."
A full 5 hours of choir today...
Let's just say by the end of it I was starting to get violent. It wouldn't be quite so bad if I could at least have some fun. But as a choir is, it's just blending a bunch of voices to get one big sound. And since I keep getting told off for not blending my voice. The reason being that I simply can't blend my voice in, because I'm not a female, or a comfortable bass voice. I can sing the bass parts, just that my comfortable range is in the tenor and alto parts, and it's too quiet (the notes are too low for me to sing at the same volume as the others).
I just have to sing quiet enough so that I am not heard (because in my boredom I just play around with the melodies, chuck in some more complicated flicks and stuff), but loud enough so that they know I'm singing. I mean, a choir is nice when it's background, like a choir for backing vocals in the chorus of a song. But as the main feature? I'd just leave choir, but if I do, I get kicked out of music (a chain reaction. You can't do music without doing music lessons, and if you do lessons you have to do whatever extension activity there is for that instrument (and for vocals it is choir).
Something tells me that I really shouldn't be in choir as I can't keep my sanity. And I have to perform with the choir in front of the school on Wednesday, and practice during my break on the same day. Might just skip a day, as I really don't want to do it. I shouldn't have to; I signed up to vocal lessons so that I could learn to sing with all the right vocal techniques to keep my voice healthy (and better sounding), so why should I have to sing in a choir if it doesn't help me with what I signed up to learn about? I mean, that's what a school is for. To teach you how to do things, and from what I see they don't even allow that without putting lumps of irritating drivel around it. And also, in 2 weeks I have to sing in choir for stage challenge (which I'm not interested in at all), and in 3 weeks I have to sing in choir in Wellington before a crowd of about 600 people +.

My weekend was fairly interesting, to say the least, for it was a Ten Tors weekend. This entailed for me at least walking 55 miles over Dartmoor with a 13 kg bag, over a day and a half, which is my kind of fun.
It was pretty wet, and the rivers were high enough to cause diversions, the bogs were deep and the visibility at times only 20 meters or so, but we were 3rd on our route, which isn't bad.
This is what the start looked like:
I'm in the right middle, holding a blue flag going up the hill, but it's tricky to spot!

Anyway, much fun, now I've done 55 miles twice and 45 once, pretty pleased with it. Fun weekend, but now I'm quite tired.

Yeah, but there isn't really a smaller alternative on offer, annoyingly.
EDIT: Scratch that, I made it quite a bit smaller, and easier on everyone's browsers

For the past two days, I have been rearranging my room. Moving furniture around, took out two large bags of recycle, less than half of garbage - I'm horrible and lazy with recycle. I'll be done by today. I had to be very careful with all the ethernet cords, since the modem is in my room.

So my boss told me to do a task yesterday, which I was finishing up this morning, and found out that he had also told another team member to do it (the girl that hates me now) and so we ended up with duplicate part listings. Then he goes so far as to blame it on the communication problem between her and I, like it wasn't his fault for telling both of us to do the same project. Not only that, but it's half her fault for doing the project and not assigning it to herself in the task manager so I knew someone was working on it already. I almost walked off the job this morning.
Thursday can't get here soon enough. So ready for the V8 Supercar race this weekend...

Well, not so much about my day but let me just say that when I saw the GT6 trailer yesterday, strangely I wasn't hyped at all. It felt weird.
Now though, as the realization that we'll have a new GT this year has settled in, I'm pretty stoked. Which has improved my day. Looking forward to this! 👍

Went home from college, only after a few stops did I realize I took the wrong train and ended up in another part of town. I had my headphones on and my mind busy thinking about something so I just got lost for a moment.
At home, I broke a mug by accident so I got the broom and dustpan to clean it up. Applied too much pressure and broke the dustpan handle in the process. It was already rusty anyways.
What the hell is going on today?!

Pretty bad, considering my dad spilled milk on my laptop's keyboard this morning. I am now in the middle of a 'no acknowledgement at all' time in regards to him, with the ending to be determined.
