"Convince me"

I will soon have a rather large sum of money.
Somewhere in the region on £800.
Now I am taking my girlfriend to Paris, buying a fridge (possibly the little one from SR) and adopting a loris from London Zoo.
But that leaves me with about £500 at least to spend, if not £600.
So should I get an Xbox?
I already have Splinter Cell on GC and any mulitformat games I would just buy on that.
Should I use some of my money on an box?

I just used to look forward to lunch times when we played Footie an evenings when I could just go home. I didn't do any homework for about 18 months although all of my course works were in on time.

The resistant materials exam was a devil.
I couldn't wait to get out of there.
At least it was only 40%.
I got an A in the coursework, but one girl in our class got 100/100. Frankly ridiculous.

I have come to the conclusion that the Marines is probably the best bet for what I want to do. I get to travel the world, I enjoy keeping fit and I love challenges that push both my mind and body to the limit. I think I would go spare sat at a desk for the rest of my life.

One of the times I got suspended from school was only a few months a go when I completely lost it. All the coursework BS and late nights compiled with the fact that I don't really like the school environment added to the equation. When my form teacher got onto me about not filling in my diary fro about 12 months I totally lost it. Tipped up the table and told her to Off!

Due to the school policy on extreme language I got suspended for two bloody days!

Ja.

I did graphics for GCSE - The coursework was a bit too much in my opinion. Good job the exam was easy.

ooooh Product Design.
Is that like graphics?

...And I hope to work in the computer games industry after 6th Form/Uni.

ICT was like fook all to do with computers. You had to do 3 pieces of gay ass coursework.

On project 2 I got 1 mark out of 58. No-one in the class could be bothered cause its so boring. And gay. The exam was worse - It had nothing to do with computers either!

At 6th form i'm doing: -

Computing
Geography
Media
Product Design

Sounds like you know exactly what you want.
I, on the other hand, don't have a clue.
I'm doing Biology, French and English A levels, and Media Studies AS. What hat adds up to I don't know.
I'm hoping some job will just fall into my lap, like the one I hav now did.

Funny you should mention course work. I left both courseworks until the very last minute. The sunday before it was due in I started it at 1pm and worked through until 4am. The next day I didn't know what the hell was going on. I was so tired as I only had 1 hours sleep and I was angry as well.

The fact that both courseworks were stupidly invloved and that our teacher gave is sweet FA in terms of helping made matters worse. It wasn't that they were hard it was more like a giant English essay than anything else.

Heh!

We were forced to do RS as well because the head master was born with a bible up his ass.

ICT is another load of BS. How much of it was actually computer based? It was just common sense. I am doing a Flash Developers course Free of charge at my 6th form college as well as Computing (different to ICT). The developers course works with Flash MX and Dreamweaver and after 32 weeks you become a registered developer for Macromedia as an actual qualification.

With the compuer side I am thinking of doing communications in the Marines as that is always something that can be brought onto the street when I leave the Marines.
