h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So I've neglected my journal since January, that's pretty bad form on my part. I'm surprised it hasn't got fed up of waiting for me and slipped off down the pub to drown its sorrows. Could it be that I have actually done absolutely nothing since January? It could, but it isn't. Actually I'm just far too lazy to write. If I wasn't too lazy I could come up with a dazzling report on the fantastic time I had at the Robert Rankin book launch on Saturday and perhaps persuade anyone daft enough to scroll down to my journal, to start reading this great man's books now. But I am too lazy, so I won't.

Oh well, it was worth a try.



I want a smiley for the Doctor Who fans on here... I'm sure there must be some.

Right, I _must_ try to do some work. See you anon.

nope, that one doesn't work either I'm afraid to try < hugh> just in case.

Gosh, someone reads my journal, it's more than I usually do with it.

Wonders, as they say, will never cease Busy doing nothing, the whole day through Oh, year, I should have done something today no, entirely escapes me

I shouldn't worry if I were you, mine is so neglected it's festooned with cobwebs and s. Not somewhere you'd like, in that case.

Is it worth trying if I can spell it?

Anyone else reading this is going to think it's in code.

I remembered!!! : I was ment to be starting my new degree today!!!! Oh,, Oh, WOOPS! Worse things, so they say happen at sea, which If you ever meet my mate, able seman Dick, you will learn is far from the truth, apparently the food is awful I wonder if a
would work <?>

Campaign for a 2legs smiley If you're starting your new degree today, what are you doing here?

Let me try Fingers crossed

I forgot!!!! I should have been school at like 8.30 I got up at 10 : But no, seriously, I should have started today, but what with one thing and another and two thing and another, I'm going in tomorrow instead I'm going to have to get taxi, early, so I'm going to have to get up at some unheard of time : I've not done the getting up at a reasonable, or early time, for quite a while now well, if I do keep going to bed at gone 3 in teh morning Hmm, i'll book taxi for 8.30, to get me there by twenty to 9 so, I'll need half an hour for brekky and and stuff, time to clean up myself and figure out how to do a tie knot properly Hmm, 7.30 should suffice

Oops!! Were you supposed to be in a lecture or in a school? Did you phone in and sound ish? Better luck tomorrow, hope you enjoy it

Hey there little Journal entry. I second your motion to get everyone reading Robert Rankins books. I’m glad you enjoyed the book launch party enough to make it you 1st comment here for a while. Which have you read & what are you going to reading next?

: in a primary school; Although I'm doing secondary PGCE, to teach 11 to 16 year olds, with specialism in 16+ "A" level biology, there is a placement at a primary school, to start the course off. Its just observation and the like, although I did help out a little in teh class (today). I made it in today, and it was really good I can't believe what these kids are being taught now; The group I was with today were all about eight years old, and this morning they were doing Grammer! : Something I believe they used to teach to pupils, but didn't hardly touch at anything like the deapth they were doing, when I was at school. One of the pupils I was "helping", was : The class had to write a passage of text in great detail about one very small aspect of their summer hols: And this pupil came up with a sentence that was so : I'd never have been able to write like he did when I was that age, possibly another budding author the Art in the afternoon was a little tedious for me, not ever having any talent in painting/drawing etc and I'm back in on Thursday And, this is really strange.... It was commented on that I was probably one of the smartest looking (dress wise), in teh school Which I find very strange as I don't normally get recognised for dressing smart, and generally teh opposite :"Wow; you are the most badly dressed person I've ever seen", would be amore normal description But, I guess wearing a suit and tie can evoke this kind of response Maybe I was a little over smart, it is a primary school after all, and I'm sure I look like a member of teh Italian Mafia when I'm wearing my black suit, white shirt and black tie and black shoes I think the large beer gut and pony tail slightly add to the something

I'm so glad it went well and you were able to get out of bed It sounds like that pupil uses better English than we do. What is grammar, by the way? I bet one look at you and those kids wouldn't dare misbehave Have an or two. What are you up to tomorrow? I'm back to college on Thing for a test I know nothing about.

Hey, Deep Black, that makes 3 people to have read my journal, this must be some kind of record I've read 12 books. 4/5 of the Brentford 'trilogy', the Armagedon Trilogy, the Cornelius books, Dance of the Voodoo Handbag and Greatest Show of Earth. Something has gone wrong at the moment though because I'm readng Jane Eyre.

wats jane air? : Getting up early doesn't normally bother me, but its all about patturns of sleep, and recently the patturn has been go to bed 3 am or later, rise the next day, sometime, The younger, primary school kids are more likely to misbehave with me, cause they are more mischevious, and inquisitive, they don't have quite the same understanding of the consequences as do older pupils, probably Whats the test thing on <?>

I know what you mean, my sleep pattern is shot. I was reading until 1-30am last night. It's difficult to shift everything back. I'll soon be getting up early enough. I used to like helping out with primary school kids, they might misbehave at times, but grab their attention and they are wonderful.

So, have you finished all the college stuff now? I'm sure that you said you did, but I've been unconsious a lot redcently So, I guess you'll

Be,

Looking for one of those

Job things : I just realised something today, this will be my penultimate degree I've done the BSc, MSc, this is the PGCE, so that leaves me with a PhD Of course I could try and convince the LEA I can't get a job and need to retrain, and do the lot again, but in a different subject area Do you get the feeling that I'm puting off getting one of these

Job things? : though I'm still not sure about the PhD thing: I was talking (over a few pints), to an immunologist/biology/educational person friend, the other night, and we were talking about PhD, and that he thinks I should be doing one now, so I can speed up getting my Nobel prize though I'm not convinced he was being serious about that bit and I outlined one of my idea's over a PhD project to him and I think he and I (I.E., he is going to get me to do it, using his better understanding of how to use the English language), to put together a PhD propersition type thing, and send it off to Uni here to get me PhDing things next year *adds up on fingers...
A levels; 2 years.
Bsc; 3 years.
mSc; 1 year (theoretically, as I took nearly 1.5 years).
PGCE; 1 year.
PhD; 3 years...


Hmm, that's ten years not including school before that

Don't have to get one of those full time j**s for another year yet. It's thing tomorrow and I still know nothing about colorectal diseases or renal failure. That j*b thing isn't all it's cracked up to be anyway. I tried it for a few years but decided student life was better so returned to college. 21 years in education will be some achievement though - you skiver

*checks the date

Date? I never could keep a journal.
