So… its been a while since i’ve posted(which is becoming a silly little habbit) but so many things have changed. Think ima just write a list, its going to be so much easier.

  • Moved out to my own flat
  • Broke up with the girlfriend – moved on, lol….
  • Kickstarting the business
  • Dropped out of college (i would like to point out, i am going back)

Oh its a good little way of living life isnt it. Should be having a house party soon too, y’know, breaking the flat in and such

So, it was only a day ince i way happy with things and now Im even happier and also kinda feeling a little stupid.

Asked Hannah out and she said yes, I think its going to be the start of something great to be honest. Going out to dinner again on thursday and I’ve also got a few surprises up my sleeve. Oh its going to be a good night :D

oh, katie is ignoring me cause i didnt tell her about Hannah, could have seen that one coming and well… thats my fault.

Sorry

Really am :(

Its been a hetic few months for me, with exams, girls and life in general. To be quite honest in the past few months I’ve come along way. Still running initialsketch, wish i had more time to put towards it but to be honest, im a teenager and i’ve stuff going down. Still working at mcdonalds, getting along with everyone, I got a promotion with my best mate, now too, the girl im seeing and another one of my best friends got promoted too. Payrise and a new uniform, thanks babes :)

Im seeing someone great, shes got some problems but over that, shes one of the strongest people I know, i really have to hand it to her, she great. Totally out of my league aswell, im counting myself pretty lucky, planning to ask her out after exams so we’re an actual item. We’ve been on a few dates which are great, love spending time with her. Both want the same things so I dont see why not. Her Names Hannah by the way, probably should have told you that ;)

Im talking to Katie again, i haven’t for a good 4 months, in that time i did some really shifty things but hey. Shes had a rough time too, on her birthday, i text her, not expecting anything back, but I got a message back and now we’re on a sure path to being friends of the closest nature. I saw her yesterday, totally forgetting how damn amazing she is, really kicked in how lovely she really is. I guess you could say, in the future, when the times right and its meant to be, it might happen. Right now, i want her close to me, as a best friend, because, shes Katie.

College is wank, sorry for the language but it really is. Working full-ish time hours made me realise how much of a waste of time college is. Yes, i know im there to get the bit of paper at the end of it all, but its really starting to get to me.  Sitting in a classroom is really hard for me right now,  I want to be out earning money and just having a life, already sat down in a class for 17 years, i’d really like a longer break than just 6 weeks holiday. Its a really hard decision to stay  or go, but I guess I’ll have to give it some serious thought and then come up with a plan.

Driving, getting my car on the road within the next month and im going to go ahead and get my insurance so I can drive my dads car along with my car. £90 a month for temporary insurance doesnt sound too bad.

Oh, Lifes good, but a little stationary at the moment.

So we’re 6 days into April now and we’ve got something to show you. Its not much but its been coded with perfection, time taken with code, and time taken about thinking about usability.

Time to get on with some proper code :D

A massive well done to the team, I wasn’t there because I was attending to other business, I pretty much did the whole business plan so I thought I would let the other team members do some work. During this time, I managed to have a faling out with a member of staff, loose a girlfriend and gained 3 clients. Win some, loose some I guess.

A team of Taunton’s students has taken joint first prize in the Push Ahead Challenge organised by the Solent Education Business Partnership.

The students had to come up with business ideas to improve upon the existing good customer service at Southampton Airport. Their ‘breeze baggle’ idea – a two part security and loyalty reward tag – was a hit with the judges. Reward points are earned every time the breeze baggle user travels through Southampton Airport, with points redeemable at the airport’s retail affiliates.

“I have enjoyed this experience and it has been very beneficial in gaining skills that may help me in my future career,” says Grant Self.

The team, all AS level Business Studies students, won £250 for its innovative product that adhered to the competition brief to incorporate the ‘breeze through’ ethos of the airport.

The winning team members (pictured) were: Djamel Makhlouf, Alex Carata, Kristine McIntyre and Grant Self. Other team members not pictured were Antonio Gashi and Jake McHugh.

Really proud that my work won something, who knows if it means anything, but im sure it will be useful for ucas :)

I’ll take one lift, your right, lets drift.

So I’ve broken up with her, Basicly because I cant be in a relationship where I dont see her much. She was really touchy on me talking to other girls aswell, I talk to alot of them innocently and it really shouldn’t be a big deal but apparently it is. Mindfuck?

moving on….

The framework is done on my project and now im putting it aside to focus on my exams.
Got my old job back, working in botley, cash in hand, one day a week with some awesome people, really miss them. Chef assistant this time though!
Exams Ahoy!

We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
‘Cause it doesn’t make a difference
If we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot
For love – we’ll give it a shot

Wednesday for me saw the attendance of FutureStory in Southampton. The event seemed well organised, apart from the problems showing a video on the projector. I attended as a student from Tauntons College studying economics and business, moreover, an owner of a small business in the local area. The event was formal but had a very laid back feel, which was refreshing from the normal fashion orientated college feel.

FutureStory: how people and businesses in towns and cities across the UK are adapting to and succeeding in the new global economy. Theres many reasons stopping us from for-filling the success that is the business world, playing on a global business is difficult for the smaller company based in Marchwood. Thanks to the internet it’s seamlessly easy to talk to people on a worldwide basis to do business with. Initialsketch being a prime example of how we utilise the internet.

During the conference we were asked to discuss the points that stop younger people from moving on in the global scale, I was interviewed by a few people on Wednesday, two of them being video interviews. Attached below is the Video from Mark Hillary, one of the panelists.

yes we are…

Went to go and see valentines day today, its a really good movie, you’d think that having loads of famous people in one would make it crowded but it really wasn’t, it was good :)

Finally got round to asking her out, i guess you could say i’d been unofficially seeing her for a few days but now, we’re together.

New memories <3
