Bit of a problem with having Tuesday off for college instead of Wednesday. Have no computer on Wednesday as everyone is in. Have spent most of day going through e-mails and stuff. Didn't manage to do all weekend e-mails and stuff on Monday either, so built up for today. Will have to check out learning centre at college to see if can get internet access. Think I can.

College is a bit of a let down. Only two people I know on each course, and no breaks so can't chat to anyone, whether I know them or not. Suppose it might improve when we do group projects later in year. Did not get much gossip on people who were there last year. Turns out one girl's throwing up was not caused by exam nerves after all. She is going to have a baby quite soon, so is not coming back this year. Passed all her exams as well.

Grandma had fall on Tuesday. Went to see her yesterday and was very sympathetic for half and hour. She is suing the council, which is always worth doing. Unfortunately got guilted into agreeing to go for tea while parents are away. Vegetables cooked until they are grey and mushy and lots of salt in everything. Apparently she learnt to cook in the war. You can do anything so long as you've got potatoes, bread and eggs, so she tells me. Although her mash, mushy peas and bacon fry up did sound quite nice.

Had interview on Tuesday. Went OK. Apart from main question was "why should we give you the job?". Hate interviewers. What kind of people are they trying to employ? No one would normally be able to answer questions like that. English people are not brought up to boast. Still, have learnt quite a lot about bullsh*tting on law course (fundamental element of being a lawyer), so managed some kind of answer. Although don't remember what was said. Mind always blanks out stressful situations afterwards.

Football is going apallingly badly. Drew 0-0 at Stoke. This was viewed by club as good result. Would like to think cannot get any worse, but expect it will.

Have got cold. Feel crap. Everything tastes bad. Cannot breathe. Sister says should eat lots of oranges. Don't like fruit. No e-numbers. Things with no chemicals cannot possibly be good for you, and definitely cannot cure colds. Will try alcohol and medication instead. But maybe not together.

Nearly time to go home. Have had to do some work today. Not much. In between catching up on 'net life. Have decided will win lottery and not work again. Is too much hassle.
