Returning to hell… August 27, 2008
OK, hell is probably a little extreme, but still, school is horrible. About 99% of the people are super-snobby (private school sucks) and/or super rich. There’s only a small group of what I’d consider “decent” people. I hate the learning, I hate homework, I hate wasting my days in a classroom learning a subject I’ll never put to use (I’m looking at you maths & physics). Even the art is a chore, because “no inspiration” isn’t an excuse for lack of summer work, despite it being true (and I’ve been busy coding instead, which is far more important).
So, when the A-Levels are done, am I going to do something I enjoy at University, nope, off to do architechture which will be OK-ish, despite the fact I’ll never work as an architecht. Its the only design related course that’s at a “good” university, and I’m not allowed to go to the “worse” university. Still, gap year and life outside of work at university will be good.

Links
I no longer use del.icio.us, because it's unorganized. I use bookmarks, an app by me, for me! Of course, anyone can use it too though. It's unfinished, to work it you'll need a Kerplunc Account, register one here.
When I get around to making such a thing, latest links will magically reappear :)
