College

Thanks for the advice, Fengzi! I appreicate it, man!

The problem I have is that, for certain reasons, I didn't get the GCSE results I was capable of getting, and it's really starting catch up on me.

I don't know if you American guys know about GCSEs, but they're the only real exams you take in our equivelent of High School, Secondary School. You do the main subjects, such as Maths, English etc, and you get to choose a few subjects you also want to do on top of the standard ones. The results you get in your GCSEs literally effect what you can do for the rest of your life, unless you want to retake them, which some people do. Your results effect what jobs you can get and what higher education you can go on to, such as college or university.

Anyway, I was predicted getting all [B]A* (A+), A and B grades, but because of circumstances I fucked up, and didn't care. Now it's starting to catch up with me because i'm sick of having shitty jobs that I have no interest in. I find it hard to hold down a job because I get so mind numbingly bored with all the jobs I have that I lose interest (losing interest is a real problem for me.. lol) or because i'm sick of being belittled by 30 year old, single men who have absolutely no future other than bossing around people younger than them for crap money for the rest of their life. I know this sounds ignorant and arrogant, but after a while I can't put up with it. So, instead of trying to stick out these kinds of jobs for the rest of my natural life, I NEED to retake my GCSEs, get the results everyone knows i'm capable of, and then go from there.

Anyway, so yeah. I don't really have much choice in the matter. Well I do, but it depends on if I wanna struggle with crappy, meaningless jobs for the rest of my life or actually do something I enjoy and make good money in the process. Plus I love to learn, so it should be a trip!

Some reason I've always liked school. But that doesn't mean you're going to quit smoking does it?!?

Okay so it's a community college!

And yea, I have that effect, man! haha

Getting stond and reading books all day for a living would be ideal. But alas, I can only do that in my spare time.

I wonder why I keep using the word alas?
