I'm on Top of the World !

Alright, I've been having a pretty good week so far! I handed in my Team Project documentation yesterday, my Network Systems assessment work, and my eCommerce assessment work. That's me clear now until my exams beginning in 10 days time.

This morning I received a conditional offer of a place on the Teacher Training course at Aberdeen University, starting after the Summer break. So all-in-all, it's going well this week, things are going to plan, which you have to admit, is quite unusual!

Mon frere on the other hand has been having a shitty week, the details of which it is not my right to document here. It may be cosmic forces at work, the equilibrium of the Universe and such like, but more likely it's not even coincidence, it's just a fact of life, shit happens! One day it's fine the next it's black! You're up in April, then you're down in May! You've got to take the good with the bad, the rough with the smooth! .... and numerous other cliches.

I wouldn't like my good fortune to detract from anyone else's misfortune however, if you're having no luck whatsoever, then please feel free to leave a comment describing your misfortune, because everyone loves a hard-luck story!

It's time for a holiday, or at least it feels that way. I'd like to go to Italy this year, but rumour has it I might have to get a job, and then where will that leave me. After 3 years of College, the thought of working is fairly daunting. There is though the even worse prospect of having to deal with Job Centre staff and the usual 99 page application for dole! Then of course they have to make you suffer as much as possible for as long as possible before they give you a penny. I'm still waiting to hear if I've been accepted for teacher training at Aberdeen University, that'll be another year in education, so ideal really, as opposed to working or signing on. Anyway, I have loads of books to read and films to watch that I've foregone in order to complete numerous assessments which I could detail herein, but the subject content of which I hope will never cross my path again, so I won't mention it! I finished reading "The Island of the Day Before". Pretty good read really, must purchase some more of his books.
