fed to the back teeth with jumped up junkies :)

a certain someone in my life decides to get high and give me abuse for no apparent reason, this would be fine, except they can't see that i don't give a shit :)

but anyway, sorry its been so long since my last update, i've just not done an awful lot untill the past week :D

this past weekend i assisted on my first ever openwater at capernwray dive centre, they both did awesome and i'd like to take the opportunity to thank them for making my life easy, and i look forward to diving with them today :D

and yesterday i went to blackpool with sarah, just because we could (i always love how me and her just plan things the day before then just go xD its kinda awesome, but then again, we are that awesome) it was an odd kinda day, it was warm, but muggy, meaning i wasn't sure if i should wear a hoody or not, so i did, and profuse sweating occurred (DOH ) but its all good, maybe the summer wont last long :( (i hate summer, as a child i used to be ginger and that means heat reeeaallllyyy affects me, and it always knocks me for 6 when its summer time (ssoooo glad that we don't do any exams over summer.... i think it'd kill me and i'd fail)

right now i'm waiting for my lift to the dive shop so i can go diving with the afore mentioned students on their first ever pleasure dive :D so that should be fun i think :)

but on the news they're doing at story on the fact that at the minute, ripping songs from a CD to put onto your iPod/mp3 player, is illegal, this is the first i've heard of this, and it means i've broken the law many many times XD LOCK ME UP THEN :P but its okay, they're legalising it today (which i think is stupid, because it means a few friends just need to chip in to by one CD and share it between them :/ i think the law needs to be more detailed than what they're planning, otherwise the artists will lose money :( and we don't want that =/


long post, lots of updates, so i'mma go:)

OUT!

300 people :D

300 of y'all have read my blog now :) and not one post, you bastards ;)

on the pluss side, this blog seems to have become a fairly big part of my life now that i'm free most of the time.

HOWEVER! sarah comes back tomorrow :D and she's been gne for a week now :( i can't wait till she comes home because on saturday we're going to see harry potter :D it will be my 4th time, and her first to have seen the film, which means i know it word for word and i'll have to sit there in silence and try SOOO hard not to copy what everyones saying throughout the whole film.

ALSO ITS 4 WEEKS UNTILL RESULTS DAY! :D i'm really kinda nervous, i've started talking myself through what i'll do when i fail, but i don't dare talk to anyone about it because they'll all say "you'll do fine" but what if i dont!? D: scared crapless right now :D absolutly dreading it, but it'll fire its way around and arrive so quickley and i'll wake on that thursday morning  and make a brown mess all the way to college :) and sit in the corner rocking backwards and forwards like a crazy person.

:S this is not good :P i've got to send my finance stuff off, but i need a passport first, so i need to do that D: its so hard to get it all done i wish i'd done it sooner :(

Divemaster stuff is getting REALLY hard again, because of all the other stresses, not 100% sure if i want to stick with it right now :( part of me wants to just dive, and enjoy diving instead of spending all my time learning and "teaching" but then tonight when i'm in the pool with nicolette an open water student, i know i'll love the feeling when she masters a skill, and i'll have a renewed love for the divemaster course again. its a tough one. guess i'll stick at it.

wow, what a long and bulky post :O if you've come over from my facebook, WELCOME, if you've just discovered it by chance, ALSO WELCOME :D

FUCKING FUCK FUCK

man, am i having a shit time right now

yesterday, i had to do my divemaster workshops in open water, and it couldn't have gone more SHIT

i had so much crap running round inside my head, standards, where i'm going, where i have to be possitioned, and it was made worse by the guy i was doing the workshop with (another divemaster, not the instructor), insiting we do the dive i'd described to the "student" (my instructor) but backwards, which i cannot for the LIFE of me navigate -_- so extra stress there...

ALSO, on my first dive i left my computer in gauge mode -__- which im sure none of you know what that means, but basically, it means i can't use my computer to dive for 48 hours -_- so from now on, i think i may dive with 2 computers wherever possible, so if i do that again by accident, i can still have a computer which i can keep diving on and it'll track my nitrogen and stuff :) so i've found a vyper on ebay for less than 80 quid :) because i've kinda promised mine to someone else....

then, on top of that, i was given surface cover to do (which i struggle with anyway because the sheet bugs me to no end) so all the stress of divemaster workshop + stress of surface cover = head blowing, which i then started beating myself up for.

didn't help with steph having her sly digs all fucking day, and then getting involved with sophie, which she [sophie] has said MORE than once that she doesn't want her to do, so that pissed me off even more, MAN i hate that girl when she tries to turn people against me... well it won't work, it just pushes more and more people against her, which i find HILARIOUS to watch :) quite a few people have told me now that they've seen her for who she really is =] shame the others won't see that yet xD give it time

sarah is back to blogging :) but i won't post a link, because i very much doubt she's gonna blog properly yet ;) when she does, a link will appear again.

Mum keeps having major digs at me, and i'm not sure what the hell i'm supposed to do about it, smiling as my values are torn apart one by one does not equal fun.


thats it, kinda a ranty post :( but thats the way life is right now

OUT!

quick update before i shoot off

hey everyone :D

got to dash off to prepare for my divemaster practical today, which im not prepared for, because of exams, but ho hum :P

went diving yesterday at capernwray dive centre with my good friend Mr lythgo from reefers and wreckers =] (i don't remember if that's the right spelling of his name) was a truly amazing day, first dive we followed the wall round at about 14-17 meters for about 50 minutes, then we dropped into the sump (that has a depth of 20+ meters) played around in there for about 5 minutes and came back, all in all, 65 minutes underwater, was about 15-18 degrees, so was wonderfully warm :D serious thermocline (region where temp rapidly drops) at 15 meters though

second dive, saw a bit more, mainly because we set out with that intention xD 2 meter plat, 6 meter plat, Cessna aeroplane, onto the answer, then straight across the the african queen, on to the container, complete with helicopter and an oil rig, through that, onto the BBIIGGG passenger plane (its a HS 748 G-BVOV for anyone who's more into planes than me) through the plane, up onto the wall (lost my way for a second, undershot my distance) up onto the devil and lord lucan (old fiber glass horse from Blackpool, if you're too young to remember it, google it :) ) onto shergar (same thing) then left onto the dreamer, then onto thunderbird 4, then turned round and came home :D all in all, 46 minutes with a max depth of 17.5 meters

all in all, a good day :D

and today I'm spending all day at the dive shop sorting out my kit, and my theory and a load of other peoples kit for this weekend (did i mention i was going the farne islands yet? if not, I'M GOING THE FARNE ISLANDS THIS WEEKEND !! :D :D :D)

so I'll let you know how the first of my 3 practical assessments goes tonight =] wish me luck!

OUT!

its almost been a week D:

sorry guys been really busy recently.

Saturday there was the divemaster presentations, and they went really well, but as usual there was just me asking the questions, s'okay though, because it means i learned more XD (learned? or learnt? ) 

then after that i went back to micks (randle) house as i was helping janna the day after, turned into a bit of a night in with (quite) a few tinnies and playing COD and being talked at about life by Mr randle (turns out he's quite an interesting sole)

then come like, 2:00 in the morning i was tucked up in bed chilling listening to my ipod :D was an awesome day.

Then sunday, i was up at 8 (no hangover YEEEY) and finally went down at 9 to find janna brewing up ready for a day of hard revision (three hours of physics, and about 2 hours of biol in total) and she said it went okay, and that she learned lots, which i'm glad of :D and it helped me lots too,

then thats about everything thats happened to me since my last post, today was a fairly sucky shit day, had 2 tests (physics and biology) which i've done terribly on, but it's like 3 weeks till exams, so its all gooood

tomorrow morning i plan to go into college at nine and get some serious revision done, then maybe think about going to chemistry workshop (mebbe, mebbe not though) then i dunno, we'll see what the day brings :D

got a couple of pictures for you guys

first is of my (which i made) new wallpaper, which of course you're all aloud to steal :) just email me if you do and its all good (liam_smit2000@yahoo.co.uk) 
karen gillan is sooo freaking hawt (i can see this blog becoming very sexy people orientated ;) )

She's so hawt, my mother would not agree with the wallpaper, its too exciting ;)

 Second is of some blue bells i took months ago, they're pretty :D

OUT!

Hey hey you you

its been 6 days since my last post (really? only six? feels like much longer)

Some kinda interesting stuff has happened, carrying on with my Divemaster course, its hard going but really, its my seconds priority at the minute, A levels come first, diving comes second right now, trying to cram as much information in my head, as well as the divemaster stuff, is making me really REALLY sleepy all the time, i keep drifting off in the middle of the day, i think i need to take some time out and just chill... but that aint gonna happen.

This thursday i have a skill circuit to do for dive mastering stuff (god, NOT looking forward to that) so no time to just chillax then... maybe i''ll work my fucking ASS off this next week (except tomorrow and thursday and saturday) this is my public promise that everyday i can next week, will be spent in the college LRC working for one and a quarter hours, followed by 45 minutes of divemaster stuff (a change is as good as a rest and all that) then that 1 hour when the LRC shuts will be spent grabbing a bite and getting ready for the next blast session,

I totes need a revision timetable now, i will do that when i've finished with you guys :)

i'm really starting to feel the pressure of exams, ofc this is the WORST possible time for me to get my first ever experience of pre exam nerves ¬¬

Posts won't be that regular anymore, maybe on my dinner hours i'll give you little snippets, but bear with me, we will push through this

Man, what a weekend

As you guys know,

I am now training to be a PADI divemaster :D This involves spending a lot more time on dive sites helping out
with students, organizing courses, lots of hard work for minimal thanks really :P

this past weekend i was up at Capernwray dive center with a group of students from clitheroe (i love how firefox spell check wants me to change that to be "clitoris" ) royal grammar school.

It was a damned hard weekend for me sat on the surface, i feel strongly for those who we actually in the water doing the teaching D:

then in the evening i went up to mick turners house for a BBQ and a "few" drinks (always starts off as a few) started at 6 in evening, and finally set off home at about 2 am :D amazing night

I has some pictures for y'all from the weekend :D

would add more, but blogger is taking ages to upload :(

Good morrow!

good morning bloggers :D

my last post was on sunday, and i'd started to miss you guys... strange, i tell you strangers more than i tell anyone else, who knows, one day someone i know may read this blog and find out lots about me (mind you, its going public when i go to uni, so i guess they'll all find out then :) )

Really getting stressed over physics right now, i go to all the workshops, all the extra help, but yet it still doesn't seem to be making ANY sense to me what so ever =/ and i'm really worried that if i don't get a C in it overall i'll be boned for getting into liverpool :(

It won't affect my chanced of getting into A university, i'm very confident that i will get into cumbria, but i wanna go liverpoooll -childish strop-

next week is easter holidays, and i'm going to spend as much time as i physically can in college/at home revising, (that reminds me, must sort out a revision time table at some point) i think its the last proper holidays before exams, and i'm REALLY uber nervous, and as anyone will tell you, i don't normally do nerves at all =/

On a lighter note, i'm starting my divemaster course this thursday (i think) which should be fun, hard work, rewarding.... but fun non the less, i can't wait, because a lot of the stuff, i SHOULD ace, and kick the other 6 divemasters in trainings ass (just like at college ;) i feel a serious amount of resentment will be felt towards me ;) ) but then again, i HAVE been diving for almost 5 years now, and have LOADS of experience teaching, helping teach, alsorts of kit, i can already work the compressor, basically i can do most of what a divemaster is expected to do already, this will just iron out all the kinks in my diving and (hopefully) make me better than i am already (and give me job potentials at universities/later in life)


wow, what a lengthy post for 08:10 in the morning (currently my time stamp on posts is being stupid (seems to be set on american time or something so i'll try and change that soon)

Liam



OUT!

Its been a few days now

Its been a few days since my last post,

And to be honest, not a lots happened, all i've done since my last post is get a MASSIVE back log of homework that i'll have to do on sunday.

Tomorrow i'm going to liverpool with sarah :D taking my new camera so we'll see how that goes (if i can work out how, i'll post videos)

I've officially signed up for my divemaster course as of last night,
For those of you that don't know, i regularly scuba dive with my local dive shop Reefers and wreckers (ooo my first hyperlink :O)

basically once i've passed my dive master, i will be officially classed as a professional diver. So i'll keep you all up to date on that too :)

Thats about it i think,

please feel free to comment on anything :D
