Chris’ Blog

As the end of the world year draws closer and people begin to feel all ‘Christmassy’, I begin to feel the opposite and look forward to the otherside. All the over commercialism and fuss about decor. and the like really makes me want to forget the event actually exists.

My main bug points with Christmas as I said before is all the money that companies try to extract from people by what ever means, Christmas themed adverts are not needed until December *sigh*. Yes giving is good, but do we all need to start thinking about it in October? No.

Decorations are another bug point, I am not talking about the tasteful positioning of tinsel or the odd holy leaves. Of course I am talking about electrical lighting displays, they are plain dangerous and get on peoples nerves. Again tastefully done they are not disruptive or annoying, a few small outdoor lights around a tree or so on. Is is suspected that an entire family died after their house caught fire possibly caused by Christmas lights. Drivers driving past these lights could be distracted or blinded which could cause accidents, I wonder who would get the blame for that accident. Most home displays are tasteless and tacky, it is insulting that the local BBC news go to film these hideous displays of electrical waste.

After all that I feel so much for relaxed

Well here it is my first rant … basically over here in the UK to apply to universities applications must be sent through UCAS, who act as a “middle” person.

Any how the process is all online, great one would guess - no. The website requires me to have JavaScript enabled to open a popup window to use the application, I bookmarked the URL and get a nice fullscreen page .

Now my application has been sent they have sent me a letter telling me of my choices and to check there are no mistakes, do they transfer the application via human operator?

This is not the worst bit; the login details I use to manage my application are sent in the letter in plain text . *sigh*

I am going to be rather lacking in Minerva work and online presence in the coming weeks due to exams and lots of crazy teachers demanding uber huge amounts of homework to be done within a day *sigh*.

Christmas holidays are going to be far too short, come back to school and then I have exams . Aww well at least I have Santa and presents (or in my case cheques) to look forward too.

For the weekends amusement I have some window colour sticker type thing set to play w/, I envision much messyness . On Monday a maths mock exam w00t, just what I wanted. I have started work on some revision materials (of the geeky variety ofc), anybody in my class, or just anybody, is free to pinch them when I upload them.

BBye for now …

BTW: A friend put another friend for sale on eBay … the result.
