Highschool is never much fun.
I quit normal highschool halfway through 11th grade, which was almost a year ago. Now I'm four weeks into a foundation year and I don't mind it at all. It isn't even as stressful as 8th grade was - and it could even get me into medicine at Monash University, which would be excellent.
All my friends in their final year of IB at the International School are all complaining of World Lit. reports and extended essays and CAS hours... and I barely even have 15 minutes of homework a day

Yeah, honors classes can be really stressful. I'm in 3 this year myself, plus an AP class (AP is college level and actually counts for college credit if you pass the AP exam in April, honors is just harder than standard). If all goes according to plan I should be in 5 AP classes my senior year. I am so going to be toast...

Sin- there's things to balance when you're unsure (yeah, you've probably heard most of it before)
+ Completing a university course makes you more desirable to employers.
- You could be in thousands of pounds debt by the time you're done.
+You can meet a lot of interesting people.
- They may be interesting enough that you'd rather not have met them.
+ You can put off going into the real world for a few more years
- You're still working your ass off for theses and coursework.
+ Universities have a jobfinding department to help all postgrads make the most of their degree.
- Not all universities seem to give a damn.

Well I've just been thinking at the moment, but hey I've just got over a year & a bit to decide. I know I want to carry on doing something within art for a bit, but I can't decide what.
For the meanwhile, I've been looking on eBay at stuff...I don't have any money & I'm not allowed to buy anything from that site. But I've seen something (well two things) When I was a kid I used to have all the Sailor Moon dolls (all 5 scouts) but the stingy shop's i visited never stocked any others apart from those 5. So I look on eBay...& they have one of my favourite characters, Wicked Lady (or Black Lady if anyone's familiar with the japanese version) as a doll. It's just under fifteen pounds. I'd love to own it but there's no chance in hell I'm going to get that doll into my collection *sigh* oh well, the bidding ends tomorow anyways.
*sob*

Today, at my church (yes, I said MY church, and nobody better laugh ¬¬) I saw the priest shouting and holding the head of a goat.
There's a reasonable explanation for this, but it's just so much fun to leave it like this.
Life's good.

Was it a stuffed goat's head that he was using to demonstrate how useful they are when playing rugby? I mean, the stupid sport would slowly cease to exist if the players constantly impaled themselves when they were tackled.

But only the clumsy All Blacks would be stupid enough for that to happen to them, eh, Corpsey? The mighty Wallabies would never have such troubles

Congratulations She_Is_My_Sin! That's great.
I've had a great day. Me and my friends goofed around all day, taking pictures. I only had one lesson today, in which we watched School of Rock. (We're supposed to make a musical of it...)
And when I came home, I had gotten my new Underground boots!
Oh, what a glorious day...

That doesn't sound too safe. Just make sure you don't contract anything from it. It won't feel good then.

Oh did you get it done professionally? Because if you did it yourself you've gotta be extremely careful! Though bathing it should help prevent infections.

But how can you not love Foamy?
"Ven-Tee? What kind of Nazi speak is that? Forgive my square ignorance, but isn't Small the opposite of Tall?
-Er, yea, in the real world it is.
-Oooh, I see what they're doing. By calling the size Small as Tall, they're making people think they're getting more out of their money when buying a urine-sample-sized cup of coffee!
It's stuck in their psyche.
That's how tricky you are.
Fuckin' tricky."

I got the biggest craving for chips right now.
There's a place called C&A in here, it sells clothes, but it also makes the most delicious potato chips. Weird, huh?
Anyway, it's a big extra large size cup filled with natural non-processed potato chips, and the drown them in soy sauce, lemon, Valentina sauce (liquid chile), Tajin (powdered chile), and this weird thing that looks like steak sauce...
*drools*
I WANT CHIPS!!!
