My University, My carer and My Gmail.

Yesterday, I was told I didn't need to go to the Campus for the rest of the week and I thought this was a warm-up induction to the University and the real learning starts next week. Combine this with no events happening today, I thought I could relax, go walking the dogs with my carer coming tomorrow and spend some time with my parents.


Turns out not to be the case, my carer coming today was less than enthusiastic about what I like to do with the carers in future occurrences, and that included walking the dogs. What was worse was that my parents still had not sorted out their washing machine. The problem started a couple of weeks ago when a mouse chewed up one of the cables and caused the entire system to go haywire. After three visits from the electrician/plumber, it was decided the washing machine was a lost cause and my parents would have to get another one. That meant more washing up at my house to do and I hate my washing machine.


Worse was that there were online lectures that came out of nowhere and I missed them. All because they weren't there yesterday. What's worse was that Mum caught me looking at affiliate marketing stuff on Facebook again and she was livid, to say the least. How can I adjust to the university when I'm focusing on affiliate marketing stuff on Facebook. This is why I don't want to study at home. When I get my laptop and such I need to be in the Libary or something because this is seriously making it hard on myself.


On a more personal level, my Gmail account was recording over half my space used up and I didn't understand how. I then took the difficult choice of deleting my promotional tab of over 90% of its emails as that was the bulk of my Gmail content. Turns out my Gmail account has been storing photos from my past dating back 2015. So I now need to go over which photos to remove and which ones to keep.

My first day in University and my thoughts.

So today I went to Greenwich University at Medway Campus for the first time, on my own. My course is Environmental Science as I want to make changes to systems to become more environmentally stable to help with various problems we are causing to the environment. I made my video on Facebook about it and got quite a few comments and likes. Along the journey, a friend of mine who works for the government called me and said he'll be here if I need any help. After a visit to a petrol station to get fuel, I managed to arrive to find the Campus to be all but void of energy. There weren't many people around and when I parked my car, forgetting to pay for parking but getting it resolved, thankfully. I ended up wandering around the place, not knowing where to go, despite asking a couple of staff members. It turns out to be a warm-up week, and it turns out that many lectures are to take place online. I managed to a look around in the Library with my card, but without someone to help me to...

September 11th, and the 20 year history of my Au pair

 I know that this is a little late given the circumstances. But better late than never. Today is the birthday is my Au pair, whose job back then was to look after me when I got back from school. He would often have a chicken pie ready for me. A store-bought chicken pie, mind you but a chicken pie, nonetheless. He spent so many years with us. He helped with manual labour as he was very strong and he helped us when we were raising pigs. He was always kind and patient with me, despite my autism. He and his twin brother learnt much of our culture and could speak and write English like a second language.  My parents took me to his home country of Czech Republic, we had a lovely time there. He's now married with a couple of kids so he's moved up in the world and I think I'm overdue for a reunion. It's a shame that his birthday September 11th. The same day that the twin towers were destroyed by those planes. I remember staring at the tragedy on TV and having such switching cha...
