Hope you have all had a great week and your all getting into the festive spirit.
This week the Christmas hype has hit me and I have realised I should really start thinking about what presents to get people this year. This is made even more difficult by the fact I'm getting some really exciting presents this year and I need to match these. I am extremely excited for Christmas this year as I am getting a MacBook pro with retina display. I can't wait to start creating podcasts etc on my new toy! I am also looking forward to it as with every Christmas it is nice to have the family round and have a enjoyable day.
Furthermore, this week I sent my UCAS application off, which has brought home the realisation that this time next year I could be studying journalism and experiencing the Uni lifestyle. I can't wait to see what my responses are and I have my fingers crossed that I get all my offers. Last week I mentioned that I was going to buckle down at school so I can get really good grades and so far this is being fairly successful. After writing this I am devoting my time to improving my essay for my media investigation. I just thought I'd have a catch up before hand.
I have a good weekend planned this week with my grandparents coming over. It will be nice to see them as it has been a while.
RIDGEWELL IS AN ARSE
Yesterday I came across a picture of West Brom defender Liam Ridgewell, wiping his bum with a load of £20 notes. This is clearly the type of behaviour that gives many football players the stereotype of being idiots who are paid way to much money for what they do. Don't get me wrong, football is a great game and I believe that it is a true skill to be able to play the game at the top level. But with the racism scandals, cheats and gold diggers football players give the game a bad reputation. It is clear that it is not every player in the world but a large proportion of them clearly believe that they are above many of society. Just because they are famous and skilled, it does not excuse them acting like prats. Fans of football, such as young children look up to their club and country hero's such as John terry. Many are supposed to be a leaders, yet we consistently see headlines in the media spotlight surrounding these role models. If I was a manager of a club I would cut their wages and tell them to concentrate on their game instead of acting like immature morons. If Ridgewell has too much cash that he doesn't know what to do with it, he could help the less fortunate or invest it into something beneficial like buying some toilet paper.
Anyway that's all from me, time to spend my evening tucked away in my bedroom typing. For any of you that are lacking festivity so far, I will leave you with what always lets me know Christmas is just round the corner!
Hope you all have a great week and the festive spirit keeps hold of you through this busy period.
Cya,
Alex
