So I was sat in the common room this morning drinking tea and generally not doing much else, and my friend Loz rushes up to me and goes, 'I'VE GOT TO APOLOGISE TO YOU!!'

Me: ....Why?
Loz: Because I killed you!
Me: o__O
Loz: In my dream last night!
Me: Wha - how - why?
Loz: It was your idea! You were at my house and you were telling me how you loved ( Read more... )

...I really don't know what to say about that washing machine dream, LOL.

I really wish I applied for Southampton now :( I never realized Wales resembled a pig's head by the way.

Ehehehe, I love that pic of Gareth ♥ That's really got me in the mood to RP now XD

Neither did I XD

But you will be in Loughborough! Which is probably nearer to where I live now actually O__o not impossible. Also, about Wales: HOW DID YOU NOT NOTICE. The entire UK reminds me of a man riding a pig; Scotland is his head (with a top hat on) and then Wales is the pig's head, and beneath that, Cornwall-ish-way is the front leg and London-way is the pig's bum.
Before you ask, I once got 28% in a Geography exam XD.

I knooow. What made me laugh most was in the comments below where someone pointed out that getting on his knees had been his idea. Heee <3

Romping in the sand dunes? ONE DAY, MY LOVE. WE WILL BE TOGETHER. ♥__♥ It's like a musical, except without music.

I had to do Geography for three years. Making pig analogies was how I passed all that time. Albeit not the exam, obviously.

Can I also be in your bunk?

I KNOOOOW! I've been ready to leave since about... fifth year, haha. But because I feel like I should have left decades ago, it's now reached the point where I glare with indignant fury at my teachers when they dare venture to set me work, lol. The swines.
Aww, it'll go quickly ^^. We're lucky cause we get quite a lot of study leaves... but if it makes you feel better we do have a ridiculous amount of crazy-important exams worryingly soon. I'll romp in the sand dunes and think of you all XD.

Aah, that's exactly it! I always worked so hard in... first year. I've deteriorated since then XD. I feel better for having been diagnosed ^^.

No way! That's so unfair =/. We had to go back to school after exams last year when there really wasn't any point, cause we were all going to be in different classes this year. But at least we got study leave.

Btw - Sweeney Todd icon? <333

I laughed so much XD. I love the idea that I like to get clean in a washing machine rather than say... a shower.

HAR!
...I mean, aww =P. But we do have loads of exam shit and everything so it's not all good. But I can't waaait!

Holy crap, the UK really does look like a guy riding a pig with a top hat on!

I wish I could spot images like that in countries XD.

My kitty likes to sleep in the washing machine, lol. I hope I do not shrink her one day.

LOL, don't wish that! It's probably a test for schizophrenia or something; 'can you see a man riding a pig in this map?' XD

=O Make sure you don't try out any new washing powder when your cat's in there. See, this wasn't just a surreal anecdote, it's a FABLE. I have taught you a moral message! I feel so fulfilled...

But it IS a man riding a pig! Just like Italy is a boot. Everyone knows that, but not enough people know the UK is a man riding a pig. I must spread the word.

Washing machines are not for living things. Good lesson.

Also, I saw in a comment something about a fifth year. You actually go by YEARS, and not Grades? I knew this, and yet I am shocked. So what are you, in 12th year, like I am in 12th grade? I was born in 1990. Any school system other than my own confuses me to death.

I did know Italy! Ahh, now I have the urge to look for images in a map of the world. I'll try to restrain myself. If anything else occurs to me I'll alert you XD.

LOL. Yes we go by year. Usually 12th grade would be the same as our year 12 I think, but because our school is posh it works on the same system as Hogwarts, with year 7 = first year of secondary school. So I'm in year 12/ upper sixth (cause after first to fifth year you just have Lower and Upper Sixth before you leave). I was just talking to Izzie about school systems actually, and none of us understand each others' ^^.

So, I was stalking reading the comments and I would like to point out the the Philippines looks like a deformed Penis.

That underwent a botched up gender-changing operation.

Yes, I have disgusting thoughts, thank you for asking. Also, HOORAY FOR UNIVERSITY! I cannot believe how long the English educational system is. I'm younger than you and I'm already almost halfway done with earning my degree. This is so wrong on so many levels.

Take me to Southampton with you, Indy? ♥

the_indigo_blue April 21 2008, 18:09:18 UTC
LOL. WIN FOR THE PHILIPPINES. You living in a deformed penis explains a lot about you XD.

I KNOOW! I'm so excited. And eee, I can't imagine it any different to be honest. Though admittedly everyone's sick to death with school now. But how does the Filipino system work, then? Cause when we're eighteen most people leave home to go to uni (or get a job or whatever) so by then we're old enough to get university accomodation or rent a shared house, and you're legal to do more or less anything in Britain (besides the obviously illegal X__X lol). But if you're younger, do you just stay at home as sort of an extension of school? Or do people just generally not move away to the same extent? Or are the legal ages different? I CAN'T GET MY HEAD AROUND IT, haha. Crazy talk.

Y/Y. START SAVING FOR THAT AEROPLANE TICKET, IZZIEMELOVE. ♥

I feel like I should be offended, but I cannot bring myself to be. XD I find living in a deformed penis rather cool.

Lol, well we have three years of pre-elementary school (Nursery, Kindergarten, Preparatory). And then we have six years of elementary school, four years of high school, and then four or five years of college depending on the degree you want to finish. :D And then, that's it.

Most people finish by age 21. But if you're like me who is a nerd and studied early and stuff, you finish by age 19. Basically, while all other college students are living it up, going to bars and drinking and stuff, kids from the Philippines are probably not even allowed to step into bars.

XD It's cool.

OH I WILL. YOU BET. Once I'm old enough to get a job that is.

Aaah that kind of works out similar. We have primary school for seven years, from 4-11, then seven years of secondary/high school. But only five years of secondary school are the law, and after that you can either leave at sixteen and get a job, or go on to finish your last two years at school or college (college to us means sixth form college, rather than uni). And then if you want you can do a three year degree at uni which most people leave home for. So you finish off at about 21, the same ( ... )
