ain't no sunshine...
i have found the most unbelievably accurate site about the IB ever. according to the site the top ten reasons to be an IB candidate are:
10) I want to conform to an international standard of educational excellence.
9) I want to be surrounded by other intelligent, dedicated students.
8) I want to work extremely hard.
7) I want to sacrifice almost all of my time to studying.
6) I want my class rank to be as low as it can possibly be.
5) I want to have an overwhelmingly high stress level.
4) I want to immerse myself in an environment of competition and mutual jealousy.
3) I want to burn away any vestiges of creativity or independent thought that I might have left after sophomore year.
2) I want to discover that all of the extra work I did to get the IB Diploma made absolutely no difference in my college admissions.
1) I feel masochistic.
SO true. taking the IB is the biggest regret of my life. it's an awesome site by the way. ironically i was looking at it while avoiding doing my extended essay this weekend. particularly amused by the idea of someone writing their extended essay on whether ernie and bert are gay. i wish i had thought of this. existentialism is not quite as fun.
a fairly good weekend, but i wish i had done my extended essay. played scrabble on saturday night. i won, thanks to "quoth". on sunday i felt ill again. it was my mother's birthday. i gave her two teapots and four green pens. she was delighted.
might go and commit suicide now. or i could start my TK presentation.
hmmmmmm.

why the fuck is everyone so convinced that i was bunking today? i was in immense pain. i fucking fainted last week, i'll have you know. i am still ill. sympathy please...?
(like you can talk, anyway, ben.)
thanks b*.
and ben: i get the feeling you are being both insensitive and hypocritical.
a) you take at least two days off every week and haven't turned up to biology in months.
b) when i fainted last week you described this as 'gossip'. thanks for that.
c) i have not blocked you on msn, i just don't use it any more because i have substantially better things to do with my time.
'let's put on a smiley face for the A Level people, ok? we can't let them know our suffering, they'll laugh, laugh again, then laugh some more.

I KNOW YOU ARE SUFFERING AND YOU CAN'T HIDE IT FROM US, THE A-LEVEL PEOPLE!
WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
I think there's some tension in the air we need to get sorted out here...
You not being in was not noticed - I too was ill, so maybe there's something going about.
I slack, you slack, we all slack cos we don't give a (insert word meaning 'shit' that rhymes with 'slack') - ooo - cack rhymes :-D
I did the IB cos I wanted to get out, and Ingatestone's about as far as I'm going. Probably for the rest of my life when I fail...:'(
But failure isn't only inevitable, but it's also the right thing to do - no point passing if you didn't understand it, is there...?
