It's been a bitter 3 days.What with people exchanging results and shit.
For fuck's sake, why do you idiots even bother? Do y'all honestly think it's in your best interests to ask "HOW MANY POINTS YOU GET ARH?" Stop fucking sticking a branch into people's asses.
"How did you do?" I can forgive. It's a decent conversation opener.
But "HOW MANY POINTS?!?!?!!!!!1111ONEONEONEoNeELEVENtYoNE"
Christ. It's annoying to answer. Not to mention if the person asking happens to be a sodding whore that asks the same damn thing to everyone. How the fuck is the other party's 6 points or 54 points gonna help you improve your results? I sure as hell hope to god yours gets worse after knowing.
Go die in a fucking fire.
EDIT: I realize this might offend some people, or scare others away. Don't worry, I won't bite. It's not that you asked it, it's the way you did. Also, I might be saying this because my results sucked, but give it some thought. Are the points of another a 'need to know'? Question the sensitivity of the question before you ask. I speak not only for myself, but for others who do not prefer to disclose their results. For the many who stopped when I replied "Bad." to "How did you do?", I salute you.
/Rantover.
Phew. Now that we got that out of my system..
I'm still not done with my JAE, not too sure if my choices are wise, but I got the rough outline. No, I'm not going to critically or intelligently breakdown the different schools and spend the next 4 hours pondering it until my head assplodes.
Currently, I'm lobbying really hard for SA, hopefully I can get in with my CO appeal.
"WHY NOT MJ?!"
Ei, sorry man, but sitting down and raping books? Ain't really my thing rofl. I know some of you can adapt to it, as I've heard, but is there really a need? Lawl.
HEY. YOU KNOW. I KNOW THAT CHEMICAL EQUATION, AS WELL AS HOW MANY GRAINS OF SAND THERE ARE IN EGYPT. DID YOU ALSO KNOW THE NUMBER OF STATUES IN ANKOR WAT? I SURE AS HELL DO!
No one cares lol. Not in the working world. Say that and watch people edge slowly away from you, while the boss writes you your cheque as well as a recommendation to a mental institute.
Fine, so I exaggerate. Regardless, you get the idea. Culture in MJ is a little different from most other JCs. I've heard a thing or two from my teachers as well, and though it's never too wise to take such things with anything more than a grain of salt, it's enough to scare my sorry ass into yesterday.
Anyway, contextual knowledge ain't gonna help much beyond the A levels. In fact, the A level cert itself is pretty damn useless. My dad keeps pushing me to a poly, and as an employer himself, he values a diploma a lot more.
Even if I don't get into a local U, somehow I'll end up in a university to further my studies, so that's pretty much covered.
But hey. This time around, I'm making my choice based on a balance between what I want, and what is good. Guess that's importance. A balance. Funny how I learned that from a game eh? Probably more on that some other time. It's quite the emotional story.
If SA decides to shut the door on me when I'm groveling at the doorstep and break my nose, it's NYJC. If NYJC doesn't prefer a bastard who put them as second choice, CJ will probably take me in.
At that point, I think I'll be in for a really miserable, mug-filled 2 years.
Should CJ decide that atheist bastards are not welcome, it's a diploma in business administration for me.
Time to submit the application. Cheers people. Hope y'all get your first choices.
And everyone's going to veejay. Veejay, veejay, veejay. /bitter.
