Well, that idea brings me neatly to my most recent dilemma : to gap year or not to gap year? UCAS is distracting me from revision which is ridiculously absurd as I can't even meet my current offers if I don't do well in my exams, let alone meet any future ones. But yeah, I can't decide whether or not I want to be one of those bitter Oxbridge/LSE (if I do get rejected, which I will) rejects who refuses to give up and sacrifices a year of their life for prestige.
More interestingly, I see Cleggy has lost yet more Lib Dem votes by scrapping their old people/parents of young children vote-winners. Honestly, that party needs to sort itself out, all it has right now is Vince Cable's cool hairstyle/accent/supposed economics expertise. Apathy towards Labour & the Tories is, quite rightly, at an all-time high, yet it's refusing to offer an attractive alternative. This latest move just highlights their idiocy; they're never going to get into government so they should worry about practicality as little as possible, especially as most people vote instrumentally now, like consumers in a marketplace. Voters seem to be out for what they will gain if a particular party gets into power, but do not seem too bothered to check out the practicalities of such promises. The Lib Dems should capitalise on electoral laziness. As I said on a forum somewhere, the General Election 2010 is set to be a choice between centrist incompetence, centrist incompetence or centrist incompetence. How democratic.
Anyway, stop distracting me, exams start tomorrow. Argh. I've officially banned myself from all other internet distractions (Facebook chat, msn and Skype are evil), so I should get off here too.
I sincerely hope anyone reading has a better week than I'm going to.
