Week 9 - Party time

Morning all,

Gonna try something different with the weekly posts, I'm going to work on them during the week. Today is Wednesday the 26th of Feb, and we're sat in form right now. I'm writing this week while listening to the boys to my left play Shithead (the card game) and make cringy noises. The lad sat on the table to my left keeps leaning close to his friend's ear and dropping some devious pick-up line: "hey limo... are you a tornado? cause you blow me away"

I talked with Miss M (the pupil receptionist for Y12) and she says I can use the small room bottom floor SFC for this BBC Radio interview that I've been asked on for my participation in an entrepreneurship programme. I only really applied for the grant money, but it's proving to give me some valuable experience. I've been pared with a CEO of this large company as my mentor. I'm hoping to have him teach me some valuable information on what it's like to start a business. I have one already, but I'm looking to get it off the ground for good. I spent some time yesterday making advertisement posts for my facebook page. They went something like "Early Bird Offer! Book early for a discount going forward into the spring".

It's now Friday, and I'm now sat in form. I've received 2 new inquiries. One for hedge trimming, one for grass-cutting. I joined in on one of their card games. It was pretty funny since most of the guys are cool.

I'm off to a party tonight. I've been fighting through a cold this week. We'll see how it goes...

It's now Monday of week 10 and I'm still working on this post. Form time work as usual. The party was good. I found it good fun being all social with all of these different people. I find that it's hard normally while sober to lower peoples guards and have full honest conversations with people. I told my mate about this and he said that maybe I should try to be less reserved with who I talk with and what I talk about. I'll give it a go. I'm reading this new book still and it's currently teaching me about the importance of being proactive over reactive. Another thing to work on. I also want to work on going on my phone before bed. Another thing I'm in need of changing in order to improve my sleep and recovery.

Anyway, after this party I was messaging one of the girls I met and she was extremely dry, I'm not sure if it was me or her, but I think that her attitude to my texts definitely influenced my responses to her. Shes on delivered right now and I don't know what to do to be honest. I'll talk to my mates today in my frees. Theres this other girl too who goes to my school and I feel like I'd like to get to know her more...

Girl drama... at 18 years old. Not great.

Anyway, thanks for joining the journey.
