Balancing Acts 2

Ooooh! When is it? I'm scared about mine already and it's like a month away.

8.20am - my instructor's picking me up at 6.50am which is just plain ridiculous. I was fine until today, and then I started getting scared. I was pretty good on Saturday, and I was absolutely shattered, so with any luck, I'll be tired enough to be chilled and all right.

Good luck!!! I'll be thinking of you while I'm on the way to college.

FUCKING PRICKS!!!!

They cancelled it! Me and my instructor were sitting in the waiting room and all the other 8.20s were going out, then at half past Louise (my instructor) knocks on the door to find out what's going on and they tell her my examiner's been taken sick.

BULLSHIT. Chances are he's probably stuck in traffic and the sick examiner excuse is their get out of jail free card.

I'm so pissed off it's actually unbeliveable. And my theory runs out on January 30th. ARGH.

That's rubbish! Did you kick up a fuss? They should give you the next available slot surely as you've paid? Or are they being shit?

I'm getting it rebooked and I'm claiming back some money from them. My instructor just charged me for a one hour lesson and she put down on the compensation form to claim for two so I get an extra £18 off them. There wasn't any point kicking up a fuss because it won't change anything.

But when I tried to get it rebooked, they send you through about fifty 'please press one's and then tell you to call back later cos no one's gonna answer the phone call. I couldn't actually get through to them AT all. So I tried to go online but they're having technical difficulties so you can't do shit on their website.

But don't worry, my day got a hell of a lot better - I got soaked as I walked to the bus stop, waited ages in the rain for the bus, get almost to work when my mum phones me and tells me there's been a power cut and so all the computers are out, and the lifts are out, so I had to get of the bus and wait ages in the rain again to go back home because I am NOT going to climb eleven flights of stairs to sit around and do nothing.

Then I got home and was about to go to bed when my mum phones and says the power's starting to get switched back on so I should make my way into work, and I just told her that I was giving up on the day because I was in such a foul mood and knew that if I stepped outside things would only get worse.

But on the bright side I got a new shirt in H&M this afternoon cos Kel persuaded me to come out.

Still, not impressed with today.

Ah, new icon, a reason to smile today.

And a hawt icon too! <333

I don't blame you, that sounds shit!

If it makes you feel and better I was also miserable today, I was rooting around for something in my bag and there was obviously something quite sharp in there (still havn't managed to work out what ) and I sliced from my middle knuckle to half way down my hand, I had to go and have stiches, just to add to my numerous other scars from past injuries. I am so accident prone that it's unreal.

Hilariously though it was parent's evening tonight, and both me and Ed wanted to know what our teachers would say, so I went as his parent and he went as mine. Hardcore.

Jesus Christ Lexus! What the fuck do you keep in your bag?

Didn't the teachers realise that you weren't each other's parents? Either way, it's dead amusing.

I haven't done my homework for Media Theory but tbh I don't really know what I'm supposed to write. *sigh*

I don't know!! There wasn't anything particularly sharp in there when I looked I think I'm just a bit unlucky.

They didn't care.

Extremely unlucky I'd say.

OMDAYZ I had a letter from the DSA through today, and it must have come about lunchtime with the post. I get in at five, open it and then get told my new test is on Tuesday @ 8.40 and the last point I can cancel it is today.

Wtf? I can't even get through to them to change it, the website's still down, and I've sent a strongly worded email that won't get answered most likely so it looks like I'm gonna have to do the 8.40 which for a start, has an examiner called the Terminator who just walks away from most tests and said to one boy who he passed 'd'you know, you're the first person I've passed in four months' AND 8.40 is dual carriageways and I've just been practicing all the country lanes and I'm just so fucked off with the whole thing. They've left me with no option whatsoever.

And on top of that I'll have to go straight to college after and I'll most likely be in a foul mood if I've failed. ARGH.

I hate the government. They're all pricks.

How are you today though darling?

Im good! My hand hurts like hell.

But other than that I'm fabby. We did bugger all in Geography so that was good, I had brekkie in Morrisons with Ed during my free, History was a bit shit, because she paired us up with random people, but that's just one lesson.

And tomorrow my AS Geog lesson has been cancelled so I'm going to Brum with Ed to try and get a coat and a replacement phone.

That's real shite about your driving test and seriously unfair! I don't think there's anything you can do about it now either if they're not answering their phone... have you done much duel carriageway driving at all?

Replacement phone? What happened to the old one?

Yeah I think it'll probably end up with me doing the test on Tuesday. I've done driving on dual carriageways but I know the country lanes inside out. There's a dead short slip road on one of the dual carriageways too and you've got to get from 70 to 40 in the space of about 20 feet. It's ridiculous.

I somehow managed to break it. I'm a bad luck magnet! I don't know what happened I just took it out of my bag and the screen was half white and liney and it's now unusable as you can't see what you're doing on it... this is painting a really bad picture of my bag...

That's like one where I live! And there's speed cameras literally as soon as you hit the 40 limit, it's absolutely crazy.

I think your bag is actually the devil in disguise. Hahaha.

It's so stupid, you literally have to slam on the brakes as you go into it but you can't slow down while you're still on the dual carriageway.

ARGH.

I got my new phone. I managed to persuade the guy in the shop that he wanted to give me the phone for free with the contract rather than for £60 and I always managed to get myself a bluetooth headset. A successful trip I would say.

Cor! Well done Lexus!!! That's definitely some amazing haggling, hahaha.

FP's got tickets to see Mika AGAIN in February. 4th time I've seen him. I love that boy, haha.

Got my test sorted as well - 19th December, should be all right.

FP has a party tonight but she hates parties. *sigh* But seeing as it's Kel's birthday party I've got to make an appearance. BAH.

I thought so too.

I'm going to Hellogoodbye on Monday. ARGGGGGHHHH. I'm SO excited.

Glad the test is sorted. What time is it at?

I'm sure you'll be fine. And if you really really hate it casually slip away.

My friends Emma and Danielle went to see Hellogoodbye on Friday. They said it was amazing.

It's not fucking sorted. Cos I emailed them, someone else has now got their hands on my test date, and now it's the same day but a different time, so I've got no fucking clue what's going on.

The party was all right, but once my college friends had left I felt like a bit of a numpty so I left too. And now I'm going to go to bed because I am tired.

BON NUIT!!!

AHHHHHHHH THAT WAS SO GOOD!

I <3 Hellogoodbye.

We got right to the front, I feel so hyper I don't think I'm ever gonna sleep again.

BUT we missed the last train home, had to get the bus. BUMMER.
