Awesome Week Off
Well, from my point of view it was pretty awesome. Mostly because I did nothing stressful.
For the first few days I looked after Ruffles (Green's Cat), going twice a day to let him in and feed him, and then later to feed him and let him out. He seemed a lot more interested in head butting my leg than eating the food though but it was always gone when I got back nonetheless.
For the rest of the time I went in a cycle of:
- Watching an anime which I have already seen (2 years ago) and one which a friend in my Psychology class is currently watching but on DVD, so I had time to catch up anyway. This was mainly so we can talk about it without me spoiling anything (and it's pretty awesome).
- Playing Fallout over and over to a point where I'm now only 2 achievements away from being 100% complete.
- Reading various books.
- Drawing various drawings.
- Watching various videos
There was also a lot going on with different siblings going in and coming out of hospital almost daily.
On the other hand, The Skit Guys:
Awesome :P

Bloggity Blog
I haven't blogged in a while :/ I shall try my best to remember what happened since I blogged last:
College
College has slightly lost it's spark. It is still way better than school (sorry). There's nothing really else to say. I go, do work, go home :P. The CU has grown a lot :P needing more tables each week now. Reviews next week meaning 2 days of college followed by one (it you are lucky) day of ten minute appointments with teachers.
YFriday
YFriday's Final Farewell was awesome :D :
- The journey there was awesome XD people are funny...
- The Steels were pretty good, I bought their new album (which I got signed by all of them) and the album is actually pretty awesome :P
- YFriday played and as usual were amazing XD I don't think I would ever get bored of going to their gigs (had this not been their last)
Church
I am getting baptised on the 5th of December (which is now but weeks away) and I get mentored now by Andy (Smith) which is exciting :D I'm looking forward to start talking about Genesis on Wednesdays too :D
- Not quite related but I accidentally broke my 'WWJD' wristband and my 'God is Awesome' wristband so I ordered new ones. The 'God is Awesome' one only comes in packs of 3. 2 spare now XD
Birthday
Hey I'm 17. weird. Mine and Michael's plans to swap happy birthdays at midnight was sabotaged by Hannah XD was amusing though.
I saw The Social Network at the cinemas which was pretty awesome :P It wasn't what I expected.

College etc.... I might even mention a turtle, who knows? :}
For the pat few days I have been going to this strange place called 'College' and so shall blog about it.
Firstly, and by far most importantly, there is a sweet shop REALLY close to the college. Not just a shop like Sainsburys that just sell sweets, this one ONLY sells sweets. I bought sour apple thingys.
I have had many frees in which I wandered around, listened to music, read or if I didn't need to be there, gone home. The majority of work we did this week was just introducing us into college life.
Oh yeh, we do these lesson things too:
Psychology - I currently know nobody in my psychology class :O I have talked to a few people and they seem nice so I shall have to make friends. The teacher too seems nice and I can tell as soon as we get into the real work I should enjoy the lessons more.
Biology - I only know one person in my class who I didn't really talked to much before. We talk now though considering I am the only person they know too XD The teacher is basically Mr. Walker with a twist so biology shouldn't be too different to how it was at school.
Chemistry - I know a few people in my class, however sit near none of them. I do talk to one of them during breaks however so it's not too bad. I sit next to someone I don't know but we talked a bit last lesson so we should be OK for a while, although I feel I seem weird :D The teacher is a nice and funny and awesome so I shall learn a lot this year (I hope).
Maths - I know lots of people :D Tilda for one, as well as (coincidentally) my mum's best friend's daughter who I have met several times XD There's also several people from my old school class and a girl who we recently met who is also Christian so there are plenty of people to talk to :D The teacher is pretty good and I have learned some new 'tricks' despite doing no real work. Tilda also pointed out how he has Mr. Patrick's eyes and proceeded to make up a story of how he was hi brother but in a gay civil relationship so had a different name. Such an imagination.
I also took FOUR enrichment activities which are:

I also took FOUR enrichment activities which are:

- Christian Union (me, Tilda, Martin, James and Zoe XD) Although a few more may join when we persuade them to.
- Work Experience (I have an interview some time)
- First Aid

Harvest :D
Strangely I awoke today wondering why the walls of my room were solid and not moving with the wind. I decided I will blog it in a day by day style like I did before with one of my blogs XD Mainly so I don't miss anything out.
Wednesday
When we first arrived we had to set up our tents and I believe out of our group I may have been last to succeed in this... or definetely close to last. We had the BIG launch at 3pm which was mostly games to win our village points and information on the week ahead. This ended at 3:45.
During the 3 hours we had to kill until the main event Queen Green made rules up. This involved No thinking of Elephants, No killing, No dying, Clapping when Fiona said something clever, Telling Hannah we loved her when she asked for attention amongst many others.
The main event (6:45-9) was awesome XD The Steels who I saw at Light Water Valley played first which was cool and Yfriday followed. I looked forward to Yfridays performance everyday, mostly because I knew the songs and enjoyed them.
Throughtout the week you could text in shout outs and 2 involving our church got shown. 1 from me which was a shout out to our very shouty washing up team consisting of Hannah, James, Luke and myself (although I didn't really shout). The second we later discovered was sent in by Will which said ''Will you marry me James Hedges?''.
The bands were followed by games. Dave Newton was the speaker and spoke about how God is unbelievably big and stressed the importance of how awesome he is.
In the after hours, me, Esther and Luke watched Up which was being shown in the barn.
After this we all sat and talked in the kitchen tent until sometime after midnight until we all went to bed.
Thursday
We all woke up relatively early the next day. I was rather cold but this helped me decide how many layers I need to keep warm so I didn't mind too much. We had breakfast about 8ish and Andy our village chief shouted to wake James up.
We went to high fibre, the morning service, at 10:15. The guy called Peter who played the music was good and Gav Calver was speaking everyday for the older group which was good because I has heard him speak before at Unite and learnt from him. He was also quite funny.
After dinner Esther, Luke and I went to a mission trip called Hope. During this we left site to a church about 20 minutes away. We decorated cakes and handed them out in a box of 5 to the local community for free. This laster just over 2 hours before we were took back to camp in time for tea.
The evening service was at the same time but with the Naughty Vicars as the opening act. The bassist from the Steel played with Yfriday because their bassist couldn't make it. I was in pain through the service but still enjoyed it despte spending most of it in my seat. Ruth Valerio who talked about worship being a choice.
I went to bed early so missed the after hours events :P
Friday
I woke up at a time I thought was late in comparrsion to the previous day. I went to the prayer meeting (9 - 9:30) which was different to what I expected, I guess I expected more to be attending than did. When we split into small groups to prayer I was with a group of lads I didn't know but they were nice and introduced themselves and we prayed for one another.
We Gav Calver spoke again in the morning and after dinner we went to Hope again and handed out more cakes. We were given a box to keep too and so we named them. Mine were called Chris, John, James, Jane and Igorilla. Hannah's were Naomi, Ezekiel, Tom, Ruth and (forgot last one, Hannah if you read this comment with name XD).
Phillipa Hanna was the opening act on Friday and was a lot better than I had expected. Ben Jack, who hosted in the morning service and is a radio DJ (Galactus Jack) talked about when worship hurts and when we may struggle to worship.
In the after hours, Carl, Luke and myself visited the comedy lounge which was very misleading due to it not being funny XD The band were funnier than the comedian. We left shortly after and wandered around before going to bed.
Saturday
Many people came from the church on Saturday. This made playing Ninja more fun as playing ninja had become a daily activity of ours (I was seen as an easy player to get out and I can't deny this). I was also impressed with Andy's chess playing skills as he managed to beat Carl without looking at the board.
After morning service, instead of going to hope we decided to go to a seminar. Although there were many jokes about going to the homosexuality seminar, many of us attended :P It was interesting, it covered many issues and not just homosexuality.
The last evening service was amazing. the bandwithnoname played first and although it is by far not the style of music I personally enjoy, it did make us all very energetic. Yfriday again were amazing and Gav Calver spoke about Jesus being the centre of worship.
Harvest's Got Talent was shown in the after hours. Although I disagree with the performance of Moon Chavs being the best, they won. Crackers was hillarious for unknown reasons yet I laughed all the way through it and cheered them for eating crackers very casually on stage. The audience seemed to have ben looking forward all year for it XD.
Sunday
I enjoyed the morning service with Chris Rogers as the speaker. Yfriday played for the last time at Harvest and the audience chanted and got one more song after their 'final song' XD We took communion and prayed in our group.
Esther, Naomi, Phil, James and I were the last on site and must have been the last people who weren't staff there too :D
It's results day tommorow and I'm a little nervous I guess :P
