wooohooooo!!!
ive won free tickets to see Placebo tomorrow at the roundhouse with itunes festival!!!
while bloc party and neil young were on stage Sunday, July 12, 2009
..colin and i were wandering around glastonbury.
we tried to head to the other stage to see bloc party but the human traffic was so horrible, we pre-empted that we might just end up getting pissed off and bothered, so we decided to follow the fire that was blazing in the sky.
it took us to trash city,wished we had mud but instead we had redwine-but it was allright, saw a bit of colin's new favourite band, watched girls in grass skirts smash their melons (lolz), got caught up at the back streets of shangrila, had a go with some oxygen. marvelled at arcadia then stumbled upon croissant neuf where a ska band was playing then we ventured out to the green fields and had some lovely cups of cocoa and cake in a peaceful and quiet tent where a quiet lady sang. The electricity was being powered by this man on a bike. it was an almost perfect evening.
that friday night, i regreted not bein able to see bloc party- but it was worth not seeing them again because it was one of the highlights of my glasto this year.
venturing off to wander around with colin= uber fun. epic winz0r.
one day im moving to hawaii
ive washed the dishes and ive done the laundry , hoovered and tidied up and had a bath. now i am cooking rice and waiting for colin to get home from taking beck back to stevenage.
im having a weird sunday (work booked me this weekend with holiday time, dont knwo if im authorised to but i took it anyway since thats what it said in the rota)
im still adjusting to the fact that soon i will have my weekends off and work in the weekdays. Dylan and I have to wake up uber early in the mornings so i can take him to Blake's and i head off to work. Fortunately, Ms wilson agreed to let me leave at 2.30 every day for this month so i can pick dylan up from school. I have lots of training to catch up on since i will be keyworking in the montessori i will be working at and eyfs has been updated last year.
i am hoping that the pros outweighs the cons. but hey-rome wasnt built in a day (etc etc) so i am going to say BRING IT ON. again :)
we are getting frank neutered next week, he is getting all psycho and feisty with me. he keeps attacking me even though i am not doing anythin to preempt it. :(
anyway, i already have my outfits drafted for work hehe
Mondays: I weae my flowerpower dress
Tusdays: My green psychedellic dress
Wednesdays: My red dress
Thursday: my pinny (assortement of grey, black, green tops)
Fridays: my denim skirt or black minis and tops (pink polo-shirt, green top, red top, black top etc)
im goin to shop at traid when i have some spare cash
Montessaurusing. Thursday, July 09, 2009
I got offered the job!!! :O (basically a couple of days ago i applied for a montessori directress job lolz yes right after i wrote down that im gonna take it easy. anyway the interview was today, got up at 6.30am, got to the nursery at 7.15- my appointment was at 7.45 am, spent the day presenting and being observed and even if i wasnt as fluid with the materials- the principal still offered me the job (wow) so yes, there goes my plans fo lazying about.)
the pay isnt as good because im a n00b although i will get a pay review in 6 months. They want me to start asap.
trying to weigh the pros (i get to practice with the children and materials, i get PAID!, i get moar training, they have a huge garden, the staff's nice, school is a bit far away but its still in north london and i get weekends off!!!!) and cons (theyre open during halfterm, the materials arent as cared for or as beautiful, theres way too many kids(but theyre lovely), i have to put dylan in an after school club cos i dont finish work til 4.15)
but it seems like all hands point to go go go and soon i shall be venturing the world of officially montessaurusing.
just need to write my notice of resignationwith habicrap and sort out a few bits with ms wilson and tell her im accepting her offer. weeehee.
wooth. wah baba wah.
The purple goo'd coach. Tuesday, July 07, 2009
weirdly enough, the nightmarish long journey to glastonbury this year did not bother me at all.
despite of the heavy traffic (we were stuck in a coach for about 6 hours), the fact that i got too drunk (didnt realise i downed a bottle of red wine- eek) and threw up in the smelly coach toilet and at the side of the coach (used to be pristinely white but had a purpley goo painted near the tyres after i was done hurling) as well as the side of the road in Shepton Mallet and in a plastic bag (which had holes lolz), got stingy nettles embedded in my arms, almost got ran over by a car and eventually passing out next to colin inside the coach- it was all woot-y. (met a lovely girl named camille who put up with my pukin and taking bra off-ness, i got her number before i was a proper mess but we didnt get to meet up in glasto cos my phone died and cos there wasnt enough time :( )
when we got to glastonbury, i sobered up as i dragged my bag with me- when we found the campsite i was already hangover.
colin and i put our things away then went to the Philippine Village to get adobo then headed to the wednesday board meet. everyone was drinking booze, i had a bottle of diet coke with me. couldnt even look at the brother's cider. im laying off the red wine for a bit tbh.
Every year, i always cane things on the Wednesday and end up crashing before the night ends. I shouldve learned my lesson but i still didnt. I should've learn from my experience in 2007- when i was too drunk and puked myself to sleep, or in 2008, when i caned too much things and got lost and paranoid- this year i ruined myself even BEFORE i got in the festival lolz. >.<
i blame the traffic, but tbh- i wouldnt really change anything, it made me appreciate beingin glasto even more.
