• Wow, so today really wasn't a happy day.

  First and foremost - Andrew & Val have split up. Andrew being my 27-year-old brother, Val being his 30-year-old girlfriend of two years. I swear she was perfect for him. He's had problems growing up in the last few years, being jobless, with drug habits and shit like that. Then Val came along - sorted career, making an actual living, and they moved in together. They went on holiday pretty much every 4 months. We were all ready for her to become part of the family for the rest of our lives, and welcomed it; she's lovely, I couldn't have asked for a better potential sister in law. Anyway, what matters now is Andrew's state. He's working this weekend, and has passed on coming to Laura's tomorrow. Although I think his siblings could really have a go at cheering him up, I totally understand if he just wants to be alone right now. There's not a lot I can say here that'll help, so I'll leave it to real life to be figured out.

  Next problemo: Art. It has been stressing me out SO MUCH over the past week or so. Every time I think about the mock exam next week, my heart rate quickens. Today, I realised it's just not worth it. Already I'm doing 13 GCSEs - it wouldn't be missed if I dropped it. So that's what I want to do. If I stopped art, I'd get 2 1/2 hours' private study in the library per week. That time could help me focus on my other subjects, raise their dwindling grades a little. I think I'd better talk to my form teacher tomorrow. Or maybe the deputy head, she's a bit of a ledge.

  Current sixth form choices (it doesn't look like they're going to change any time soon, but anyway):

  • Communication & Culture (looks mega fun, interesting, possibly hard work but ties in with other subjects and seems like it's worth taking)
  • Psychology (before I wanted to go into journalism I wanted to be a psychologist - the subject still fascinates me)
  • English language (I wanted to do some form of english. Seeing as I HATE analysing stuff in literature, and language deals with media writing, it seemed like the way to go)
  • Politics (political journalist, mebbe? No prior political knowledge is required, that's a relief. People have mixed opinions on this one. It's at Bishop's school, though, and the teacher seems cool)

   
   So. End of rant for today. Hopefully I'll be more cheerful tomorrow...I'm gonna go watch the first episode of season 2 OC that Nonie lent me. Things'll work out.
