The bad news:  I got rejected by Cambridge.

The good news #1:  I got an offer from my second choice, which is the only good uni to offer Islamic Law as an option in a qualifying Law degree.  And I reaaaally want to study Islamic Law.  The fact that it produces the second/third highest earning undergraduates in the UK doesn't hurt either.  *is a ( Read more... )

So I was just glancing through this article from the BBC site.

Margaret Chan, a bird flu expert from Hong Kong, is the first Chinese citizen to become the head of a UN agency.

On the off chance that someone reading this entry is thinking about taking Higher Physics for their IB Diploma course, I have one word of advice: don't.

Really.

It's hard.  So hard it makes me cry at night thinking about how hard it is.

Somehow, I managed to blow up two eggs in two days.  Yesterday I tried boiling an egg for  lunch...but forgot about it when I started reading the papers.  I only remembered the fire was still on when I smelled something burning and rushed to the kitchen to see that all the water had boiled away.  And then!

Sometimes its just so terrifyingly easy to just give up. Sometimes I just want to go out, find the seediest disco and just dance my heart out with the shittiest low lifes I can find. And smoke, and drink, and be some juvenile delinquent and forget about ever becoming a successful lawyer ( Read more... )

Love,
