I have to remind myself, daily, that I do actually have a plan. They plan being as follows:

I have to admit, most occasions when I use an lj-cut I don't really need to use a cut, I just really like using the html. I could tell you that I'm being considerate to your friends lists, but we both know it's a giant fib. I just get a wee tiny thrill from html. I sound a little sad, don't I?

Anyway, I digress. I have, as I said earlier, have a plan. It consists, simply, of me getting a grip of my somewhat pathetic life and making something of myself. I want to become a teacher, which pays somewhat nicely and also has the benefit of coming with really awesome holidays. I'm going to do an Access to Higher Education course in september at the college in Halesowen.

This is exciting, for two reasons. One, the way I drive to Halesowen from where I live involves a honest-to-God real country road. I can't really describe to you how much I've missed country roads since we moved to Birmingham. I'm not sure what it is about them that makes me so happy; perhaps it's the bendy-ness, or the scenery but whatever it is, diving on them makes me happy.

Anyway, I'm doing this Access to Higher Education course in September (for anyone who is unaware what one of these is, an access course is designed for stupid people who didn't get good results in their exams the first time around and go to university, and at the end of it you end up with enough UCAS points to go and do the course that you want at university.) After that I'm going to do a degree in IT and educational studies, with a view to teaching a secondary level, although I'd be qualified for primary as well.

OMG, people of the internets, Creative Assembly (a video game developer) is working on.. SHOGUN 2 TOTAL WAR. I cannot, honestly, tell you how excited this makes me. You should be excited too, because this is pretty fucking exciting! Woo!
