New Haircut

Came back from Switzerland/France from a school trip, on the way back some of my friends created the masterpiece that is my new hairstyle. Product of peer pressure and the hypersexualisation of the black man. It'll probably last a week or so I predict, if not just three more days. Not looking forward to going completely bald though, not a good look!

Here are some pics -





It looks much better in person, have to get a good picture from the back too! Looks wonky, but it's really nice at the back.

I LOVE being Upset about something

It's really nice to be upset about something, right now I'm upset about something, and as soon as I thought of the post I got over it. Well not really, but I'm getting there.

It's fascinating because you can step back for a bit and think, Why am I Upset about this? What exactly is it that I'm upset about?

I won't say what the thing is at this moment, but say I was upset because I lost my pencil case (Which actually did happen today!)  I can step back and say, what exactly about losing my pencil case is upsetting? Is it what's in the pencil case? Or is it that as I like to feel organised, so I'm upset that I've let something very important go missing in a very careless manner. Or is it that I'm upset because I've attached some sentimental value to this pencil case that I've had for almost 2 years. Am I upset that as well as a sentimental value, I've attached something very superstitious to this pencil case, as I had it through my summer exams, which went quite well.

By asking these questions in detail, not only do I distract myself from what I'm upset about, I also learn so much more about myself in the process. Maybe I would have been able to explain this idea with a less trivial reason for getting upset, but I think you get the point.

It's really a very therapeutic mechanism,

Thought I'd share.

Dear

Here's what I couldn't say to your face. I never get THAT angry when I'm with people.
You're a spineless piece of shit, and I hope you rot in hell, you fucking toad! You're a mug, and if you were in front of me right now, I'd spit in your mouth, you stupid little shit. Get out of my life, you worthless twat.
Kthx bye.


Also, In a totally unrelated topic the weirdest thing is happening today, people seem to just storm off today! I'll be having a nice conversation with them, and then all of a sudden, like they've been possessed by a demon, they buzz off! Strange!

Anyways, That's my twopence for the day.

Finally, watch the new Glee! It's so so so good!

Thought

The worst part of all this, is all the work by the best institutions in the country to make their universities accessible to all rich or poor will be violently reversed. The best universities will once again become elitist.

Student Protest

Looking at the pictures from today, of both the anarchists and the more peaceful protesters puts a smile on my face. It's unacceptable what the Government is doing, and I'm glad so many people came out to show their disgust.

It's very rare for news to be so relevant and poignant to me, but the rise in tuition fees really is. Cuts do need to be made, but I do not see how it can be justified to pass on debts intergenerationally. It's unethical, and as much as some in the Government like to say that it's progressive, it's violently regressive.

How can people that went to University for free, expect to turn around and impose such ludicrous fees on a whole generation. This march is so important for the issue of tuition fees, at the very least Government will be far less ready to raise tuition fees in the future, they see just HOW appalled we are. The NUS thought about 2 weeks ago hundreds would go to the protest, this morning it was 16,000, the actual number for the day was 50,000. We are appalled!

For some students, their parents face cuts to their wages, the danger of osing their pension or worse being completely unemployed. How in the world can these people expect to aspire to higher education, with these fees how can a generation aspire to higher education.

Love GIfs


I Planned to do..

An epic blog post this weekend, but I had maths homework which took up 8 hours of my weekend.  Literally child slavery, I don't get it. Although I say that, but I'm that kid in class asking for more homework, I think my teacher may be doing this to get back at me, haha!

Ah well, we'll see how the week goes/
