Culture Shock

Imagine my suprise this morning as i was walking to college (if only it didn't cost £50 to fill my tank, i'd drive, cheers tax) when i saw a considerably old woman bopping along carrying her ipod. You hear all this speculation about old people not being able to use mobile phones or computers, clearly they're MP3 aknowledgable and more likely than me to download the latest tunes and listen to them when walking to collect their pension/bin from the end of the road.

I currently have an ear infection and have experianced for the past 5 days what it is like to be half deaf. People think i am arrogant or just ignorant. If you stand talking to me from the left side chances are i am not going to hear you. I have never wanted anti-biotics more in my life.

It seems to be the big issue at the moment is moving the driving age to 18, as someone who can now (finally!) drive i couldn't care less, for all the people who deem it acceptable to fly through villages and towns at 40-50mph it's a good idea. However considering my use of my lovely 5 door clio i'd be pretty pissed if i was verging road-legal age. Saying that i have passed and if you're concurring with this you probably haven't. Go figure.

I only have around 9 weeks of college left before study leave, with a 3 week interval after 4 of those weeks to 'celebrate' easter, more like doss for the said holiday and gain a couple lbs. Life is pretty bangin'.

'I find a map and draw a straight line,
Over rivers, farms and state lines.
The distance from me to where you'd be,
it's only finger lengths that i see.
I tough the place, where i'd find your face,
my fingers are in creases, of distant, dark places.'
