Right, back to talking about the bits of my life that nobody cares about. I'm sitting here, in the library at college, thoroughly bored after typing up all of this morning's notes, and I still have a good two hours until I even have to move. It's rubbish.

So anyway, I'm back at Brock. The last nine- or ten-months haven't been the most fun, and if you know me, you'll know why. However, I did okay in my AS-levels, managing an A in French, a B in Politics and Economics, and a *cough*C*cough* in Philosophy. Oh well, it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

My timetable seems to have been written, this year at least, by someone who thinks I have a need to remain in the same space for 3/4 of the week. I have a lesson first-thing (9 a.m., ugh) on four days of five, and a lesson last thing... Four days of five. That means any space I do have has to be spent right here in the LRC. I could, I guess, go home, but it's just not worth an hour's round-trip for an hour at home. Not to mention the petrol.

I've recently come up with a new study plan to get myself back on track this year - and it involves an awful lot of grindwork. Last year, I lost a lot of work on sheets and written down, so I've decided to make both a hard and a soft copy of everything I do. So that means either typing everything up (which I do for written notes), or scanning sheets (which I do when I get handed an eight-page wodge of notes and haven't the energy to type them all up). It's a lot of work, but hopefully I'll be laughing when it comes to revision, and I'll have everything I need.

All I have to do now is get to every lesson. If only I had some kind of monetary incentive to go... Oh, wait, no, my family's so rich I don't need money. That's okay, then.

That reminds me of something I saw tweeted yesterday (@iPatrickQuinn if you want to follow me) about Obama's new education 'plan' to increase the school year by a month, either by having longer school days, or by cutting into the summer holidays, and to be honest, I'm in two minds. It doesn't affect me now, but he is right that children no longer need to be home early, and indeed it would lighten the workload of many parents to be able to pick their children up after they've finished work. As for a shorter summer holiday - why not? That holiday always dragged on for too long anyway!

Anyway, I shouldn't become embroiled in US politics again, it's just... With my iPhone back and Twitterific on the go, I can't help it! It's all that anyone on the internet talks about. Well, that and Megan Fox. >.>
