Sunday the 29th:
Today we all meet in the airport, at 09.00.
Our flight was at 12.30, so for 3 hours I was enjoying a hot coffee with Chris and Jesper.
At 12.30 we take off and went to the sky.
Jesper and I played pool on my iPad the whole flight.
When we landed everything went great. Except that our bus driver wasn’t there and didn’t pick up his phone. We nearly waited for an hour, when a man just stands behind us. A man who had walked past us 10 times. but this time he had a sign saying “ZBC”. We arrived at Portland college. And sorry to say the standards here is not good. Everything Is broken.

Today we had our first day of school at West Notts
We had a student as a guide, to show us the school and the most important rooms.

At the point, we got back home to Portland College, we prepared our dinner.
The rest of the evening, we just talked and enjoyed each other’s company.
Tuesday the 31st
We started the day with the Portland College breakfast and I can only say that it’s the last time we go there.

Our English class was fun. We read newspapers and discussed the difference in each paper.
The last class, we made cables and went down to see a Halloween show.

Later I got a picture of me beside Robin Hood.
I tried to find a Harry Potter shop, but apparently the city council had shut it down.
Sunday the 5th
Sunday morning, I decided to read further into my Harry Potter book while I did some laundry.
At 15 o’clock some of us meet with Tore, at The Talbot (a pub) we drank a beer and went to see the bonfire. When we arrived at the bonfire’s location, they had moved the starting time from 16 to 19. And we discovered that we had to pay 6pound each to enter.
So, we rather wanted to explore Mansfield City.
Monday the 6st
In school we started our skills task.
Later we joined the Scots class. They were building Lego robots. I got on a team. And they had no clue what they were doing, so ended up being me, who build the robot and gave them a design.
At the evening I felt ill, so I went early to bed.

Wednesday the 8th
Today at school the VR room was booked for us to try. The room were booked for 30min. but we stayed for 2 hours. I had a lot of fun trying the VR, it looked so real and felt I was in the room(game) or in the castle. I made the new high score in the spaceship game.

We later went into our classroom to continue the employ-ability project.
When school ended I was tired, so I went home to eat and early to bed.
Thursday the 9th
It was our last day at West Notts and today, we were going to present our employ-ability project
My presentation went O.K, I could have done better, but was complimented for my English. After the presentations, we all went to do a “race”. Who could disassemble a PC and build it again the fastest. I helped Chris a little which meant I came on 4th place.
We all got a certificate for being on West Notts and completed it.
At night we were booked into the Refined dinning located at West Notts College. The food was fantastic, and I had a wonderful evening.
