when boredom strikes.....

WOW its been a while since i posted on here, not that anybodies particularly bothered lol.
I'v got a job, working in a call centre full time, its good pay so im gonna keep it untill something better come along really. The job id spoke about in my last post where i had to attend numeracy and literacy tests...... i got an interview, and am 4th on a waiting list for the job. Its better than nothing i suppose.

The wedding is probably the thing that needs to main focus. It suprisingly went without a hitch. I put in a litte photo of the bride and groom on the dsay. Regardless of all the other tention going on on the day i actually managed to enjoy myself. I had to stand next to Doug and Brenda as well in a few of the photographs but i embraced it lol. My brothers speech was the sweetest thing and made everyone in the room cry. He cried too which was upsetting for me cause Iv never seen my brother cry, not even when my dad died. He tends to keep his emotion locked up, but i think because he was talking about Jodi having cancer it must be his weakness. It was a lovely day anyway and photos will most certaintly be on the way.


I have a new addiction on face........ farm town. Its so pathetic but since i have nothing else to do untill i start work its pretty much that lol. Also, the past week iv been trying to find my great grandmothers grave. We had a slight inclining as to where it was but when we went today we couldnt find it. We dont want to have to go to the record office but if we do then we do but if anyone knows of any ways in which I can find this out i would be eternally greatfull. Its basically so i can scatter my grandmothers ashes there but we need to know where it is in order to do that. lol,

Anyway laters for now, gonna make tea, on a diet so tuna jacket potatoe it is lol,

YEAH SO...............as i'v said many times before, i'm totally addicted to facebook scrabble, i'm pretty much spending most of my spare time on there, this is not good. I'm wanting to work out how to put pictures on this thing, iv done three years of advertising and still do not know how to get images on my blogs lol, so if anyone knows give me a shout.

Okay so it's been a while since my last post and i can't really remember what the last thing i talked about was, so of the top of my head. from what has happened over the past few weeks i'll begin with my exams.

Three exams in three days, Analysing Documentary, Theorizing Celebrity and Reading the News. I literally worked my arse of for these exams so if i do not get the mark i want, which is about a 60 in all of them i will actually go ballisitic. I wish i had worked harder last year, i literally figured that your second year doesnt count for much so was really laid back about all my work and didnt do very well. Now i have found out that they take away your lowerst mark from this year and replace it with youre highest mark from last year. I'v worked so hard this year and my grades are predicting i should get a 2:1, however because i didnt do well last year, my highest mark will be 55, which is not good, so i really need to get a good marks in these exams in order to get a 2:1.

The job hunt isnt going too well either, my best friend got an interview for the first job she applied for, lied about her qualificatations, told them she had lied, is planmning on only working for 6 months so she can save to go travelling and she's managed to get a job. I however have been honest, hunting for 2 months and havent had a bean. I went to an adult numeracy andm literacy test for a job working for the social services and it didnt go as well as i had planned, i find out next week whether i get a proper interview booo.

The last of my depressivness is focusing on my brothers wedding, i know i should be so excited and over the moon but i am dreading it. My father died when i was 11, my brother was 15 and because my mother had an affair, my brother did not want to move in with us. He moved in with his best friends famnily and continued living with them till he moved in with girlfriend in Kent. After my fathers funeral, my dads side of the family clung to my brother giving him everything he wants, i however never saw them again, although my brother and myselfs relationship never changed. A few months later, my fathers best friend (my brothers god father), and the mother of the family he lived with, tried to take my mother to court for something i do not understand , resulting in my mother and brother not talking for a good few months. My mother and brother finally started talking but i still never recieved any contact with my fathers side of the family. Just to make myself clear, i was eleven, i needed my family and they deserted me and made sure my brother was fine. To cut a long story short, they are all going to be at the wedding, the people who made my mother cry every night and the family that abandoned me when i needed to most. I have no idea what is going to happen, whether they ignore me still or try to talk to me i do not know, but do not be suprised if i post a blog thats less than friendly a day or two after.

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!! My mother is moving in with her boyfriend which means my lovely boyfriend and i will be renting my house of her for the foreseeable future. My house is gorgeous and my boyfriend and i have been a bit stresst about where we are going to live when we move back up home. So now everything is solved and the only thing we need to worry about is the colour to paint my room and what bed to get lol.

So theres my moans for the next few days,

Easter, Exams and Being in Love - forgot to post it

I just came across this in my drafts and figured id give it a post, i dont know why i didnt post it, must have forgot,

Being a student is not very easy, i live in a house with a boy i don't know, i never have any hot water or electricity and i cannot sleep because it's so cold, on the plus side, i have the best friends i could have ever hoped to have made at uni. I spend all my time with my boyfriend, because he feeds me and keeps me warm, granted this means i don't see my friends as much, but when your as broke as i am at the moment, i don't really have a choice.

This causes a problem when we need to be apart for a long amount of time. I knew i was in love with my boyfriend, the circumstances in which we met were rather unusual and we've managed to stay together ever since. He's perfect and i know all girls think their boyfriends are perfect but mine really is lol, but i'v been away from him for nearly a week now and it's literally killing me. I never thought you could love some body enough that even a few days away from each other can tear you apart, but it really does. Saying that i wouldnt change it for the world and i know he gets alot more affectionate when he misses me he he,



Asyou can tell, iv worked out how to put photos on, its titled easter exams and being in love but im just posting it as i found it and this is as far as i have got.

mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Living with the Dead vs Most Haunted,

Okay so i am a huge fan of Most Haunted. My boyfriend and i love it, watch it every night its on and generally are Most Haunted Geeks, got the books and everything. For those of you who do not know what Most Haunted is, its basically a show where a team of paranormal investigators go to locations around the country looking for paranormal activity, its actually very good and when you watch you realise it isnt stages or faked. They have a parophycologist who counteracts anything that could be mistaken for paranormal activity and brings forward a logical explanation, it really done very well, that could jut be a personal opinion cause i love it so much.

So anyway we saw an advert for Living with the Dead on Living TV and thought it looked pretty good so decided to watch it, however i was so outraged by how unbelievably scripted it was. Now i know a lot of people especially sceptics will think Most Haunted is faked and don't believe and such but it you watch Most Haunted, and then watch Living with the Dead it is obvious to see the difference and the honesty between the two. While we were watching Living with the Dead we genuinely felt like Living TV were taking the piss out of people who were foolish enough to watch it, to the degree i actually considered writing in and asking them to explain themselves, extreme i know. I think it would be interesting to hear from people who watch Most Haunted or Living with the Dead and hear their opinion on it. Either the people in the episode i watched took a different approach to the cameras or were just plain bad actors.

I felt i had to get that of my chest because i was seriously embarassed by what i was watching.

So anyone who watches either of them, let me know what you think, i wonder if it's just my perception of Living with the Dead as i am such a huge most haunted fan.

love love.

graudation and general things that are making me down,

Right well,
i have had the biggest fall out with my boyfriend ever. To cut a long story short, he said something horrible about someone i care about, i said i didnt appreciate it, he kicked of and practically chucked me out of his house. We have sorted it out now, and i did have to lay down a few laws before everything could get back to normal, but i have realised now how scared i am of losing him, but at the same time not at the cost of being scared of his reaction every time i disagree with him. So for now, everythings sorted, i mean couples fight right? Once we talked it over when we had both calmed down, we realised that we think differently about situations. When he left my house on Monday night after "crisis talks" so to speak, i thought that was it, i rang my mum, my best friends, obviously in tears because i thought it was over. The boyfriend however, did not think it was over and though it was just a little blip that would have been sorted out before the morning. IRONY!! Well anyway it's all done now.......

My biggest achievment of the past few weeks is, MY NEW CAR. I got me Toyota Aygo, 07 plate 20000 on the clock for 6 grands. Bargain i believe. It s possibly the most fuel efficient car i have ever known. I drove to wales on Sunday with the boyfriend and got 104 miles from five pound of petrol. Now you;ve gotta admit thats pretty damn good. I was stuck in traffic for about half an hour as well so i could probably have got more from it.

My biggest upset at the moment is money and graduating, shock. I'm broke till my loan goes in and would like to get a job sorted pretty soon so i know i have somewhere to go as soon as i graduate. I perfected my CV today and am going to apply for jobs pronto. I should be revising instead of writing this to be fair like, as i have a mock exam on Friday which i would like to gain a good understanding of how well im going to do in my actual exams. So ill revise after this.

To be honest i think thats about it really. Till next time...
HIRE ME!!!!!

padgate varsity winners 2009

well, this week has lots too report. Handed my last piece of solo work in on thursday, only two more pieces of group work and 3 exams and i will be graduated. Rather sad to leave my uni family but will not be sad to leave the work. Speaking of work, the credit crunch seems to have taken its toll on me this week as i was laid of from my call centre job, i assume because they r not taking as much business as usual therefor cannot afford to keep me on. STINKER!!!!!!

I am starting to think that i have an absolute massive addiction to facebook scrabble and tetris, i literally play it every spare second i can. It;s taking over my life, i think it fills the void that i call homesickness. I'm terribly homesick at the moment and because i do not have my car, i cannot go home, but hopefully ill have a new one the week after next and i get to go home and see everyone woooooooo. As i said earlier i have just handed in a piece of work, and as part of it i needed to watch a 9 hour documentary called Shoah, anyone heard of it? It might be long but it is genuinly one of the most amazing documentaries iv ever watched. It basically nine hours of interviews from people who took part in the Holocaust, whether survivers, by standers or the ss guards. It's so emotional watching these people recalling the horrible things they had to see, and what they were made to put other people through. I'd definetly recomend anyone to watch it, its directed by Claude Lanzmann and although it doesnt really have a structure, it seems to roll through perfectly. So yes, theres my review for that their lol.

The most important thing that has happened to me this week i think is Varsity. Basically i go to Chester University but in Warrington, it is called Padgate Campus, and for one day of the year, all of our sports teams play Chesters sports teams. Theres alot of rivalary, Varsity has taken place for the last 6 years and our campus has never won it once..........WE WON IT THIS YEAR. I cannot describe the feelings of team sprit and unity on our campus on varsity day, it is AMAZING. At half seven it was drawing nine nine in terms of the games won, the winner relied on the final game which comically, was Kareoke. Now i have to say that we have some amazing singers on our campus and i think the fact that we won Kareoke therefor becoming the overwall winner of Varisty prooved that. I have never seen such a huge group of people scream and start cheering, hugging each other, when it was announced that Warrington were to recieve the Varsity shield. It genuinly made my university experience.

I think this is long enough, i am not gonna read through it and correct any mistakes because it;ll take all day, i shall go have a bath and then place me some scrabble. woooop

the new me.....

well first of all, reading through my first post i noticed several typo's which rather was supposed to be father and i cannot remember any of the other ones.
Anyway so it would appear i have lost my beatifull Katy, that my car. I'v had her for 2 years, she's a pretty blue clio and has taken me and my friends on many road trips. Well not some kind of plug in the radiator is leaking and it'll cost me £300 to fix it. I know that seems steep, and a part of me thinks someones trying to rip me of, but Craig says it expensive due to the enjineering cause the gear box and such needs to be taken out. It's a sad time for me, i rely on my car, but the wonderfully boyfriend and my mother have decided that i'm gonna get a car on tick. I 'll be paying for it myself by the way, im not a spoilt little girl, but i find it difficult to cope without my car, as it will cost be £70 to get a train home when i get home sick. Away, ill be going car hunting at the weekend and for the next few weeks so if anyone would like to tell me what cars are the most reliable, that would be delightful.

Okay so next point of call, i got a 1st in a university paper yesterday, it's only worth 20% but as they say, everything little matters, or something like that. My work have told me i cannot come in this week due to lack of work and to ring on monday, perfect for this week as i was waiting to see what would be happening with my car, but not so good for next week when i need to money.

I believe the most important thing for me this week is that me and my best friend are going to do the race for life. My brother fiance was diagnosed with cancer last january. She has got rid of it now, but i know how important it is for cancer research to keep progressing. I would like to add that i am a rather unhealthy, size 16 - 18 woman with rather large boobs so signing up to do a run/walk is a rather large step for me. I'm deciding that the diet starts now and the race for life is the motivation i need to get myself down to the gym regularly and start jogging. So on that note, i am of to walk to dog, Ollie THE CUTEST black Labrador and then ill probably be of to the gym with my boyfriend.

I'd also quite like to add that although i am not the hugest fan of Jade Goody, i have been told that she may not survi,ve the end of this week, so i would just like say that i think she has fought a very hard battle, putting aside any beliefs of her selling all of her stories and i hope her last few days with her children are as special as they can be.

Bye bye for nows

the first entry,

Okay so,
i'm sophie cade, 21 from Chester le street in Newcastle. I live in Warrington at the minute as i am Chester University, Padgate Campus. University = the best decision of my life. I have the most amazing friends, the most talked about will be Rachy, michael, clare and Cooper (amy), there's also a boyfriend called craig. 7 nearly 8 months, i met him in Faliraki last summer where i was working for 2 months with clare. I love him and all my friends with all my heart.
My rather died ten years ago, and i do not see any of his family anymore, its just me mum and my brother (jamie). My brother is getting married in May which should be an experience. 

You'll find that my typing is terrible, expect lots of typo's and my grammer is even worse. God knows how i would have survived nearly 3 years of Uni without spell check. I do not think my life is interesting enough for people to want to read about, nor do i think my opinions are important, but i find with a paper diary, i forget to write it in. I feel that an online diary will be easier to keep track of major points in my life and somewhere where i can write down my feelings and have a rant, whether anyone cares or not. 
Well this is a small intro to myself, short and sweet,
