children: your parents let you down. your teachers let you down. the government lets you drown.

As my Truck Eight is no closer to being finished than the last time I was drunk and writing in here, I thought I could at least interupt my "busy" evening of drinking, playing Call To Power 2 and singing badly along to records to share with you this; I bought the BEST T-SHIRT EVER at the aforementioned festival.

I did A-Level Economics instead of Art. Got a C, could have got an A. Hmph. I think it's easier to pick up creative subjects once you're out of the rhythm of school life, though. I'm trying to write more, and properly, just now. Are you a member of doing_words?

And woo, yes! I am happy for you!

I really didn't like Economics - despite being told that, as I got a 'B' at GCSE maths and was doing Government & Politics and History as my other A-Levels, I "should have no problems with it", I had real problems with most of the maths involved. When, after half a term, I wanted to quit and switch to another subject before it became too late, I was told it "would be a waste of the work I'd put in so far" and that was that. Bloody private school. That being said, bizarrely I got my highest grade in it [a 'D'], although I'm going to put this down to me being chronically unable to write decent essays and, while my other subjects were entirely essay based, a third of my Economics grade was based on a multiple-choice exam.

think it's easier to pick up creative subjects once you're out of the rhythm of school life, though.I'm going to agree with you here; although in my case I think it's mostly because I found structured education so suffering to my creativity and general interest in the subjects. As a perfect example, I've read more ( ... )

sparklepbass July 30 2005, 23:28:59 UTC

guntrip July 30 2005, 23:32:02 UTC

Actually, I suppose 'leave a comment' means more than a word?? Well I figured that I'd try and expand my music knowledge and friends by going to Truck... so I'm trying to expand my friends now by adding people I camped with/met... tis much fun :D

guntrip July 31 2005, 14:10:18 UTC

[but, excuse me for this, when/where did I meet you? Sorry, am really bad with names & faces, and was drunk most of the weekend which didn't help..]
