Find old exam certificates, enter all information off them onto UCAS form.

Fill in boring long-ass UCAS form

Write fucking personal statement (which I'm informed has to be stellar for Oxford) for boring-ass UCAS form

Pay for bloody motherfucking UCAS form so it can go and be ready for the reference that my tutors inform me they cannot write for me yet. $*!&#&^!*^!

Remember to:

Talk to individual tutors and get them to give me a piece of A2-level work to do so I can do it - by Friday - and let them see that, yes, I can get A's on these exams. If I stop missing classes and not doing homework.

Evenings off work this week: None
Time available for homework: Limited to the extreme
Computers working properly in my house: Zero

On the plus side, I finished community service today. So that's good. Free time to study on Friday afternoon will be useful, to say the least. Although as the work has to be in before Friday, it's not that helpful. But I'm sure I will love it on Friday when all this shit is done.

OK, I should get off the computer and go and do some of this stuff before work, right? Though must get food because am starving and try not to think about sleep - would help to remember that staying up until 4am having fun in the bar is not a productive way to spend ones time. I can do that after the application is in. Yes.

'K, going now, bye bye.
fightingthecage: (Shrub - Accio Brain)

Tony Blair was visiting a school and was asked by a teacher if he would like to lead the discussion on what constituted a "tragedy". So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stood up and offered,

"If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs him over and kills him, that would be a tragedy."

"No," said Blair, "that would be an accident."

A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."

"I'm afraid not." explained the PM. "That's what we would call a great loss."

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Blair searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of tragedy?"

Finally, at the back of the room a small boy raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: "If an aircraft carrying you, Mr. Blair, was struck by a "friendly fire" missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."

"Fantastic!" exclaimed Blair. "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"

"Well," says the boy, "it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident."
