20 Going on 12

Before I start, a possible apology to Master Beddoe, (getting pissed in "that" club in Manchester as we speak), as I feel this blog post may go down the road to negativity once more, despite your feedback!

The last few days have been rather void of activity. So much so that I have resorted to going back to the daft sleeping pattern that means I am writing in here, once more, at the ridiculous time of 02:38. Everyone has drifted off to bed, and rightly so, leaving me, completely awake, wondering at what to do. And you know how the old saying goes. If you're bored, write a blog. After my last generic post about nothingness, I feel the need to at least update my few readers on what (has not) been happening in the life of Mitten recently. For some reason...

A couple of things have concerned me in the last few days. One being that sometimes I do feel like I really am too lazy for my own good. How many 20 year olds, who aren't at university at least, wake up the wrong side of midday to sit on their laptop eating Rocky bars all day? Not many I bet, which makes me feel completely unrespectable, before realising I do in fact have a job that I am starting next Tuesday. It is times like this, with the "summer holidays" coming up, where I wish I was back in Year 7 again. Nothing to worry about apart from hayfever and summer football tournaments. Yes, I did get my job back at BP, despite not being many hours. On the plus side, I will be working mostly days this time round. I hope...

Secondly is my organisational skills. Boring? Maybe. But my plan for this coming weekend has changed more times than an uncertain Gok Wan, and this isn't a good thing. My original plan was to referee at a football tournament on Saturday and Sunday morning, leaving me to play cricket on both afternoons. However, I got a startling text from CC that revealed we may have an audition for an ITV2 gameshow this weekend, which led me to re-evaluate my priorities. I cancelled cricket on the Saturday, leaving my refereeing just in case, leaving a potential gap for a trip to London. However, this never materialised, meaning I was available for cricket again on a Saturday, but then I found out the match had been called off so made myself available to referee all day on Saturday, and attempted to cancel Sunday morning so I could go out on the town with returning university friends, but then only got offered Saturday morning as a compromise. The final schedule is refereeing Saturday morning, playing cricket for some random team on Saturday afternoon as a favour, going out on Saturday night, (now with limited funds), probably recovering on Sunday morning before usual cricket on Sunday. Very little refereeing and no gameshow audition. Understand that? No, me neither. Best get my act together, in more ways than one..

I have also accepted my first pre-season friendly for refereeing, from a team I get on quite well with. I won't be missing any cricket for that luckily, and, for now at least, I am quite looking forward to it.

However, I can't escape from the fact that I am looking forward to university now, possibly more than I have ever done for anything else in my life, ever. I have started talking to a few people who are going to Brighton University next year and they all seem like great people! Plus, it will give me something prolonged and certain to concentrate on whilst being respectable at the same time. I don't know what it is with me about, "being respectable"...

I honestly don't have anything else to say. I have literally nothing planned until the weekend, which I hope will be a "big time weekend". Until then, boredom ensues.
