The word for a job is the same as the word for a journey that's a bit manic. I also hate my careers class; the teacher barely knows me, but pretends we're BFFs only to be condescending if anyone starts talking about doing something they like for a living.
I don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I'd like to do medicine, or law, or youth work, or ICT/programming. I don't know which one to choose; I'm not too worried just yet, I've got another year til UCAS start hounding me...

My ICT teacher's also a twerp; initial draft coursework deadline is this Monday - she missed classes, meaning very few people actually know what to do. I've done the bit she asked for, but I can't help others (even though I want to) because a. time pressure and b. I've done everything in a stupidly complex way that works, but only makes sense to me and twerp woman. But the class itself is lovely, and fulfils my RDA of geekiness. I also want to learn HTML & CSS, but we'll see how that goes because I do have three other subjects to do, and 2 committees, and doing mentoring for firsties. Although learning a programming language would maybe help me see if this is just a hobby, or something worth doing a degree with.

And the majority of friends-who-aren't-asshats are all away at uni now. Still, most are coming home for Christmas, not too long to wait. I don't think I'll do Nanowrimo this year though, because I don't really need anything else on. I don't really want to go to bed, either...but I suppose I might as well.

And I'm off school, so what do I do? I go and work =] So I did five hours at PDSA, and it was Hell on earth. Christmas rush and all that, I guess. But there were so many shit people there, it made me cry inside (not really, but I did feel a bit crap after). Um...yeah. 3 days, woo...

I wish I could sleep...dinner's in a short while apparently, so it'll have to wait. Ah well.

*feels all bunged up and fluey*

Nom nom nom I feel like eating something that's warm and pastry-like. Maybe later...

I love that song =] I love the way it just breaks out into a really infectious beat near the end. I also adore Trent Reznor, just for the fact that Nine Inch Nails is a great band (I think.)

I got my hair cut today, it's back to chin length again. Nobody noticed - doesn't matter, except that it was kind of drastic, and they didn't see. I went into work after I got it done, to help out. I suppose I shouldn't call it work because I don't get paid, but it gives me experience, and it's pretty good fun. I went into town with Adie during my lunch break - we're on the outer side of a building in the center of the town, so it didn't take that long. We ended up getting our faces painted, nothing big, just the 'PDSA' logo on one cheek and some pawprints on the other. Good advertising, though. You wouldn't believe how many people asked us about the charity's work - it was pretty cool.

I haven't been hungry since last week. It's kind of scary. If someone asks me if I want something to eat, I eat because of a vague sense that I should eat something because it is lunch time, or dinner time, or whatever - not because I'm hungry and want to eat something. I'm the only one who's worried about it, though.

At the moment I'm busy poring over lists of distros, UK + abroad. It's quite fun. =]

Yeay...yesterday I volunteered at the PDSA charity shop. It's pretty awesome, actually. Really big and airy, and bright. Makes a change from a lot of other places. I was working on the till, too. It's pretty fun, but I needed all the concentration I could get because I messed up a few times. My parents came in to see me, too...was a bit embarrassing, but I guess that's just what they're like. I really enjoyed it, so I'm back on Monday :P

By the way: Harry Potter OMG. I haven't actually had much time, but I'm through most of it =[ I wish I read at a slower speed, I might get more out of books.
