Well my week off school is now over, spent earning some dough in my lovely job, drinking cocktails in the town centre and finishing off with an ace party at my best friend’s pad.

Now I’m back at college realising exams are three months away. That’s something like ninety days. And twenty-odd lessons of each subject left. Time really does fly. I’m trying to balance it all with a little research into universities. I’m dead set on going on LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science) to study International Relations. I’m so drawn to it as ut’s one of the most international universities in the world (on average only 25% of the students are UK students) and being well-travelled and mixed-race, I know I’d love to be there.

But oh yeah the 2007 statistics for the course were 1,400 applications which were narrowed down 46 students. My jaw literally dropped straight to the floor. I don’t know how many offers they made, but those are God awful chances. So I probably should be hard studying instead of doing this blog post, but what fun would that be?

I downloaded the recent release of Schoolhouse which is a course assignment/homework manager for Mac. It has a nice clean interface, easy-to-use and it’s sure to help me keep on top of my piles of homework for my AS Levels. Downside is it’s pretty buggy, but definitely an improvement from 2.1 when it didn’t actually work on Leopard OSX! My feature request would be to have some kind of periodical caffeine/nicotine injection to keep the slacking student motivated.

I haven’t had a spring break/reading break in my university yet. I’ve got three semesters this year, so every one of my friends in other uni’s have already had their week of fun. I have to wait until the end of march.. and I have to work all that week! I’m envious!!
