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

I hated Maths, just remember - in two years time you'll never have to do it again. Unless, of course, you're totally stupid and do Physics and Chemistry at A Level, like I did Unfortunately you'll still be getting insultingly easy ICT stuff even at University. I got an ICT assignment on Tuesday and it's so easy my cat could do it. What other subjects are you doing?

I'm doing French, History, Art and, as you know, I.C.T. Along with the usual English, Maths and Science. I also have R.E and P.E lessons, but luckily don't need to take them for GSCE's.
As for the simplicity of I.C.T, my little sister could do it. And she's four.

French is fun. I wanted to do both history and art but I hated my history teacher, and he hated me, and I didn't have enough time for art, I was already doing nine subjects. Science - is that dual award?

I don't know, maybe. History's fun, arts ok, but don't get me started on French! Its mixed ability so half of us steam through the work, whereas others still can't get their heads around "Je m'appelle..." 5 people have already dropped out of French because of the difficulty at Foundation level, let alone the Higher Tier work... That I do. That's why I'm going to France for work experience. My friend and I are going to be working in a school for the week because we're both considering a career in teaching, so that should be fun. What are your thoughts for a career?

I'm probably going to go into teaching myself. I might get a second degree first though, I'll have to see how the finances look after this one. Whatever I do I'll be getting my PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate of Education) and then hopefully teach English, Geography or Philosophy. After a few decades teaching I might go into politics. To be honest I haven't thought seriously beyond my PGCE. If you taught what subject would it be?

Probably English, or I'd teach Primary school kids, I haven't really thought about it.

I wouldn't think about it, don't be one of those kids who have their life planned out by the time they've finished their A Levels. I've got a friend here at Uni and she knows exactly what she's gonna do and how much she's gonna earn and all that stuff. I prefer to just see what happens

Don't worry. I'm keeping all my options open. Besides, Whats fun about life if its so predictable? I prefer surprises MUCH better! Un-predictable is my middle name! Well, its actually Nadine, but thats not he point.

Exactly, life's great when you don't think about what's coming. Live in the moment - that's my motto

Precisely! My motto's Carpe diem, which is latin for live life to the full. You never know what's around the corner.

What's around the corner may be bus ready to run you over but that's all part of life. I wouldn't want it any other way

Or an escaped mad man wielding a knife ready to stab the next person that comes around the corner... Or bull that sees you with a red top on...

Arrgh I'm wearing a red top right now! I just had the world's most boring tutorial. How's school going?

School's fine. As long as there are no bulls around, your ok. Hopefully your still around to reply to this, unless you've been trampled to mush by a mad bull, in which case, I don't mind if you don't reply.

There was a crazy cow but that's just my best friend here in Uni, Amy, and she's gone to trample her boyfriend.

Wow. What a nice, person. May she and her boyfriend have many happy... tramplings with each other.

It's okay, I can torment her because she knows I love her really. Also I buy her lunch most days.

oops. Didn't mean to do that...
Anyway, none of my friends buy me dinner! That's so unfair... Oh well. I'll buy my own.

How can they call themselves friends? I'd buy you lunch, except we're never gonna meet. You'll have to settle for
