Adventure Continues (Week 2)

Well today is Thursday, which means blog time. So where shall I start.

Well firstly I am still travelling to college by train and bus until this accommodation has been sorted, which I can say is halfway to becoming real. So hopefully I will have it all sorted by Monday (Even though I said that I should be in before I do this blog). But hopefully I should be in by Monday.

Right so I've explained the accommodation situation, now let me tell you the week I have had with the exception of Friday with lesson from 9 till 4 and then hospital afterwards (Probably get home about 11 again like on Monday).

Monday: I went to college (By Train), but I went with my dad, because we went to view the accommodation and then went to the Opal Estates to accept the room. Then after that I went to my first lesson while my dad wondered round Manchester till I had finished. Then we went to the hospital for Dialysis (Might explain medical side later).

Tuesday: College again (But this time was a full day 9 till 4. Monday 1 till 4). In this lesson we created Mind maps and sketched images of our hobbies/interests (Mine was computers and comics).

Wednesday: Was supposed to have a lesson from 1-4 but the tutor said that we Dont start the lesson till next Wednesday. But I still went to Manchester to continue the process with the accommodation and also had Dialysis.

So that has been it for this week apart from the lessons on Friday (But I will explain Friday in the next blog). So I hope you liked what I put and will continue to follow in my adventure at college and Manchester.

This has been SALmations saying goodbye.

Adventure Begins (Week 1)

So this is it...The start of my weekly blogs...I at first thought about posting a day to day blog and putting stuff like (Week1_Day 1_Induction, Week1_Day 2_Induction Continues...and so on). But due to the circumstances of travel to Manchester from Leeds and then back again each day (Until I get an accommodation) I have found it to be...To put it simply...EXHAUSTING!.

So what I am going to do instead is post the blog every thursday or friday (Possibly thursday as my timetable shows that is my day off) and talk about what I did in the week. and hopefully I will have my accommodation when I post my next blog.

So lets begin.
...Had Induction this week, which is mainly filling out forms and getting to know the people on your course. Also wandered round Manchester, finding out where places are and how long and far it takes to get to places...
_Leeds Station to Manchester Station (1 Hour)
_Manchester Station (Piccadilly) to the college (30-40 mins)
_college to Manchester City Centre (same as above)

So basically this week has been really good. With travelling to and from college by train and bus (Got time to read my comics and listen to my Ipod), walking round Manchester and meeting my classmates (As well as my course tutor) Overall a good start to a good two years.

So this has been SALmations (Stephen Longbottom) with my first blog...and I hope you follow in my Adventure...Goodbye :D
