What did I know? I've been tied to my PC for nearly 3 years. This week I actually 'went out' and 'attended college' for my first of 40 weeks.
And it's like... flesh... EVERYWHERE. Boys wearing flares and carrying bass guitars over their shoulders, girls wearing as little as possible despite the cold weather and making eyes at the boys carrying bass guitars.
Pierced belly buttons everywhere you look. Pierced nipples if you look hard enough. Green hair, nose jewellery, silver-decked goths with black fingernails and the deepest hazel eyes you can imagine, blondes that must have spray-painted their jeans on that morning wandering by asking for directions to their next class, off the shoulder numbers that state quite clearly "Hey, I'm wearing a black lacy bra do you like it? Stop me and tell me if you do."
College rocks. And that's just the tutors. You should see the students :) My biggest problem at the moment is concentrating on asexual reproduction in aphids in Biology classes, and if you had the vision sitting opposite you that I do during those classes you'd have trouble concentrating too. She's 21. Single. Blonde, about size 8, the sort of woman who turns heads so fast that casualty departments get inundated with whiplash casualties. She's doing health and nutrition and having trouble with the the maths components when it comes to exponentials and describing the size of white blood cells compared to the capabilities of human vision. I said I've got a book on it at home. She's popping over at the weekend to have a browse.
If I survive next week I'll give you an update on the latest changes in college fashions. I'm not sure I will survive because at the moment I feel like a bee that's just survived a narrow miss with a 10-gallon pot of honey. I can't WAIT to report on the Summer fashions.

Quit your job, quit your life, forget the concept of 'money', commit to your plan, promise to abstain from sex for 5 years to get the grades you need.
I got the first four. The 5th one is going to be a problem. I might be able to work something out. (Or in). (Or both).

I'm confused. College last year wasn't like this. :( I work now, for Rockstar games :P
Tea boy?
Do you mean college college. Or Uni college?

It's a bit of both, you can do A-Levels, HNDs or Degrees at my college. I'm doing a 1 yr Access to Computing course to get into Uni next year.

I see...
I wanted to do Computing for A-level.
Actually, it's probably the whole reason I went to college.
But they wouldn't let me.
Their pass rates were really crappy, so they were only letting the people who were sure to pass through. Like people who were doing Maths and Physics as well.
But I doubt you need A-level skills in both of those to understand Computing - and I got straight A's across maths and science for GCSEs.
*Sigh*

No, I refuse to make tea. If I want a drink I get my own, and it's not tea. Eww.

If I remember correctly, didn't you do, or at least start, an MMath degree? If I am dragging that fact from the right place, then I know for sure you will certainly be able to help her. I know that the stuff in the degree is 99% unrelated, and in fact numbers are pretty much thrown out of the window, but still, the knowledge will probably still be there. Sorted!

If I don't see lots of boys baring their flesh and carrying bass guitars tomorrow, after you have got my hopes up, I am going to be very upset.
