Idiots

When I was at college studying languages some fucking idiot was in the room next to us teaching "media studies" which only requires you to be good at writing essays. The idiot teaching it had the nerve to tell me I had a bad attitude despite my being a model student.

The education system let me down but yet I worked within it....

Motivation!

At 22 I saw a load of people get the same degree as me and somebody else who had worked very, very hard. I had gone days without sleep, studied for hours and sacrificed friends and my sport to get a degree.

I was livid. But then I had been livid many times before. More important than being livid I was at a total loss - All these people had their parents come up to see them graduate - what was the point of little me trying?

This inner voice niggled away at me - "the advantages are given is awesome - you will never succeed" - "some of these people have spent four - ten years in Japan"

I try to motivate myself by thinking I can impress children from disadvantaged backgrounds but think hypnosis will be the next step.

Seeing "everyone"'s parents watching them graduate was torturous indeed.
