Fetch Me My Rifle
It's been a long weekend. I am now trying to complete my Welsh Bacc (that's right complete). But I am coming across some problems. I have just one question, who formatted these booklets. I want to hunt them down and highlight their face. At random points across the documents, certain sections are highlighted, italic, bold, smaller, a different font, centre aligned, or all of the above. How do you format empty writing sections accidentally? So I have concluded, that due to the fact you would have to be missing you brain to do it accidentally, it must have been done on purpose. So fetch me my rifle, it's time to go hunting.

There Goes My Time
2 weeks. 2 WHOLE weeks of politics, tutor sessions and career talks. Whose great idea was this?
To start with, politics. Basically we spent the entire day being told that politics is relevant to everyone because it is everything. That's it. I lost a day, which I could have spent sleeping, to learn nothing.
The tutor sessions aren't going to be any better. I don't need to explain why, they're tutor sessions.
Finally, I get to finish off the fortnight with 3 careers talks. With minimal choice and very specific talks, I was unable to find anything that could possible benefit me at all. There was not a single talk to do with creative arts, programming or even IT. How can they completely omit computers when talking about careers. With EVERYTHING now being run by computers, I thought they would at least had a speech on programming.
I just wonder who it is that decides what should be done in education. By looking at their decisions I have deduced that they must be friendless, boring, bitter and kept from the outside world.
Bring on next year.
