It’s twenty past twelve and my mind is doing backflips.

I always thought that every human being in the world felt the same emotions, had the same idea of things and acted in the best way possible to express themselves adequatly to keep others just as happy as them. As I slowly and steadily progress through the obsticle filled road that we call life, I’ve discovered that this is not the case, in fact; it is the very opposite.

The trouble with situations is that they never seem to play to our wishes, they cannot be easily avoided, and any kind of confrontation, not matter how insignificant seems to provoke and antagonize the flames that are anger and bitterness.

This world can be cruel, people can be cruel, and no thought pattern is the same. Readers, I come to the overall and justifyable conclusion that no matter who you are, you are selfish. I respect that sometimes it is necessary for our own happiness, but in most cases, you are selfish because of the power you hold over others.

This is the truth, something which I’ve seen in everyone, and something which will not falter or decrease as the world turns and each day passes.

This is life, I need to get used to it.

It’s been a considerable amount of time since I’ve written on here, and certainly have a few points to make. Firstly and disappointingly, I managed to get a few poor exam results which have resulted in me being denied from second year at college. This could all change with one signature, but the feeling of academic rejection does not prove motivational for my second year.

 

History, fantastic, A. This was unexpected and a great shock when I discovered my least best subject had somehow become my main breakthrough one. English, a C. Very annoyed with this seeing as it’s the subject which holds my passion and dedication. Law, U, this is the subject which I stopped trying in when I realised what a pathetically idiotic teacher I had. Finally, Philosophy, E. Terrible. The one subject which brought my collapse into second year. However, I would not have been so angry if it was my lack of studying and utter neglect which caused this atrocious result, but it seems that most of my set got equally poor results.

 

This is to where my complaint comes in. A level exams. What a complete farce of educational value. All it proves is how to answer an exam paper which amounts to you writing about 4% of the knowledge that is stored in your mind around that subject. It neither tests your intellectual level, or your ability, it merely tests that you can answer ‘in correct formation’ a trivial question which must be answered in exactly the correct ‘exam board approved oh the piece of paper told me this is the only way it should be written’ way.

Fellow A level students, I think you’ll agree, exam results are merely a test of an exam board flitting about silly little questions, and not testing what you really know and how passionate you are about it.

 

 

Rant over, good day to you all.
