I got one of my friends to read this blog. Basically he said, "WTF?!" except with more expletives. Anyway, yeah, that's the general feeling I this blog to give off. I mean what's a blog that doesn't give off that "WTF?!" feel? You have blogs that chronicle people's everyday lives, people who have a specific opinion, people who are doing it for the money etc. Of course there will be "WTF?!" blogs out there (cool, I just created a new catagory of blogs), but I want mine to be just totally random ramblings about nothingness.
Anyways, holidays. Love them or hate them. Parents complain that I'm getting 1 month off as a Christmas holidays is too long and some of my friends want it to be 2 months. A saying comes to mind when I type this: "You can't ever make everyone happy". Well 1 month off for a university is good. Gives me sometime to catch up with lost sleep, get to grips with some of the stuff I learnt this term (I'm trying not to laugh as I write that...) and get some of the backlogged anime watched that are stored up on this lil' laptop here. So 1 month seems good for me. HOWEVER, I wish it could just be 3 weeks and have 1 week in between the terms, like a half-term. A friend of mine at Warwick gets a reading week to catch up with readings. Of course he's doing law and that requires reading but that doesn't apply to LSE. Oh no, they work you and work you and work you (and ninja all your money while they work you too) until you are all worked out. Then they take your shrivelled husk of a body and stuff it into a tuna-can called Crush (a party that's named for the number of people that gets crushed every Saturday). I feel sorry for the law and history students (I do an outside option in Econ. History so I know the reading lists are murder) for having to put up with the reading, essay writing and lectures for 10 weeks. But from the looks of it, there won't be any motion put up any time soon for the school to change it's policies.
I like the holidays like the next imaginary person, but there's something that's been irking me. The Sainsbury's in Portsmouth (Farlington if you know the area) ut up Halloween stuff in September. After October the 1st, the Christmas stuff went up. Every year Walk past the isle of Christmas decorations in mid-October and think to myself:
"Why the f*** do they put up these stuff so damned early?"
I still have no idea at the moment (email your thoughts to me at idontgiveadamn@hotmail.com). Christmas is all about the birth of Christ or whatever your specific religon/cult/family tradition dictates for this time of the year, not a huge spendaton for presents that would just be returned or given back to you a year later. I think we need to remember that this time of the year is to get back together with your family and spend time with them (if you are in prison, use a spoon or something. You know what to do). I've heard recently that the parents and grandparents of a 12 year old child had him arrested because he opened his Christmas present (a GBA, yes, the boy was actually excited to get a GBA. WHAT CAVE HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING IN?!). I mean it's getting ridiculous, children have been annoying their parents for a XBOX 360 and then getting some kind of chemistry set on Christmas day. This not only ruins the atmosphere but you also have a pissed off preteen with a bunch of chemicals that could become a toxic hazard but it also destroys affection left within the family, all in the name of gift giving and good will. Well, I say pish tosh. If we spend time together that would be the best christmas gift anyone can want (unless you're that family then you'll be spending lots of time together in the mortuary).
Well that's it for this entry. As the song I'm listening to is aptly named, adieu and good night.
