First day back at college

Hello again! I apologise profusely for doing such a late blog but c'est la vie. Well today it was the return of college after a long (and well deserved might I add) break. It was a lovely summer holiday filled with friends, cinema trips and delightful catch-ups over a Peach lemonade at Costa.

Upon arrival I was greeted with the natural swarms of 1st year students at the front of the college which was dreadful. I was not going to let myself get too annoyed due to being in the same position myself only a year ago. However two factors did not help this. One being that it was so crowded that it was unbearable and difficult to get through to any place you wanted to go; and the second being the new batch of slow walkers that I was greeted with. A slow walker is one thing that I cannot abide. If you are elderly or disabled then I understand of course. But to be naturally slow for no reason is extremely aggravating.

One annoying situation is when you are in town and realise you are going to be late for your next lesson and so decide to go even faster than your normal pace to get back. However, you are suddenly stopped in your tracks by people who are not only slow, but go to your college also, therefore they too must be running late! So why the hell aren't they moving as quick as you are! 'What is wrong with you!' I want to exclaim but alas I cannot and so must suffer with the apparent snails that I have chosen to walk behind. However, on occasion I will decide, depending on the degree of annoyance, to go by the side of them and overtake them whilst giving a passing huff/sigh to make them aware of the irritating vibes that are emanating from them.

However, the situation was not as bad (though very close) as when I first entered one of the canteens with my friend in order to retrieve a cake that she required. Honestly, it was like a foreign market place, it was unbearable. There was a mass of people all trying to move around, people were sitting down at tables, buying and selling things and I could have sworn that somebody was trying to trade a goat and two chickens for a 'Jaffa Cake' cake bar and a bag of Walkers crisps.

Well I am off to sleep now so I wish anyone who reads this a good night whatever time of day it is and to all the slow walkers who read this, I am sorry for going for you so much, but seriously...sort yourselves out my god!

Night,

Dan

Gym People

How bad is it that I, a new blogger, missed blogging after only one post! However, I do have an excuse to give. My internet connection has been non-existent for the past couple of days annoyingly so I was unfortunately ripped away from blogging, Facebook, and all such necessities! However, now I am back and am here to ask the question 'Why are some gym people so weird!?'

Example: I have been going to the gym for a month now to try and increase my attraction rating (if possible). I walked in and headed straight for the bikes, with one already being occupied by a man with excessively sweaty arms. I straddled the foam seating and began to peddle when suddenly I heard a muscly, somewhat hairy gym employee exclaim "YES!!!" whilst on the treadmill. Now I found this hilarious and looked straight away at his direction with a 'What the hell was that about' look to which he replied with a slightly embarrassed glance. I looked around myself to share the humour of the situation with a fellow exerciser but nobody seemed to notice! How I do not know. So therefore I had to share it with myself and tried to keep myself to a subtle smirk as he walked past me.

Now I ask you, was that really necessary? I mean congratulations for reaching your goal but shouting it so loudly was both hilarious and ridiculous all at the same time. Well that's what you usually get with over-the-average muscly men.

Well I think that I have been able to catch up now, so I shall be back again tomorrow!

Step up to the Welcome mat!

A hearty hello to all who read this. My name is Dan and I have decided to join the world of blogging. I feel like a tourist entering a new country. Perhaps I should change in to some signature tourist gear? I am sensing binoculars, terrible shorts and a bum bag! Anyway, I decided to do this in order to create another portal from which my bubbly nature can flow as I love to make people laugh. From T.V. to the question 'Would a jelly teapot be more convenient than a chocolate one?' I shall be writing about it all in a way that hopefully will be both funny and interesting. So, if you are reading this please come back for more visits. I thank you kind sirs and ladies!
