My 'things I want to do/achieve' List!

Let's be honest. I've never been the type of person to know where I'm going in life. Try as I might to organise myself and educate myself on the love that is 'Time Management', I've always fallen back on the old 'meh' attitude. I believe the correct term is 'laziness'. :]

Well, perhaps 'laziness' isn't really the correct term. It's not that I've known what I want to do and where I want to go, and have just gotten bored and not done any of it. No! I've been lucky enough to have never asked myself the question, "Where do I want to go in life?"

Well, until today, of course.

Naturally my mind began to splurge out like one of Tony Buzan's 'Mind Maps'. And, naturally, I came to the answer of, "I don't know where I want to go in life." As you can tell, I'm one for laser-clear understanding of my life!

But, then, through the fog, another question floated in: "What would you really like to do?"

AHA! Somehow, magically, real answers started to seep into that mind of mine. Here's what I came up with. Don't laugh. :)

(You can either read my goals on this page, or go here to see the real version of them!)

Things I want to do/achieve!

• Learn a martial art.

• Learn cursive script.

• Learn shorthand.

• Write a book or a long story.

• Find content for my body (whatever that means...)

• Stop getting angry and/or judging people.

• Make a real difference in someone's life with my counselling skills (aside: my school gave me 'peer counsellor' training and I got some from 'Childline', too).

• Get a sun tan (aside: I'm quite a pale individual and have never been apt to sun).

• Write a letter to an MP and get / create a real response.

Quite a selection, no? A fellow blogger has this neat thing where she lists all of her goals and shows how well she's doing. I love the idea and want to try it out myself. Watch this space!

Finally, as I hate not letting my life give you an insight into yours (as esoteric as it sounds!), I wonder:

What would you really like to do?

The 7-page School Complaint. Grr...

Okay, out with the hummous and in with the ANGER!

As a little background: my school has decided to follow the 'Blue-Sky Thinking' trend and install this new system called 'Vertical Tutoring'. Basically, instead of there being 'years' (Year 7, Year 8, Year 9, etc.) there are 'Colleges' and in each 'College' there are a selection of forms. Each of these forms, in strict Vertical Tutoring, has four Year 7's, Year 8's, Year 9's, etc. all the way up to Years 12 & 13 (Sixth Form).

Though the management in my school (They call themselves the 'Leadership Team', but they're really just management) have decided to go with the 'two-tier' approach to Vertical Tutoring -- whereby the Sixth Form are segregated and have forms of year 12's and year 13's mashed together -- a LOT of pupils, including my school, are frustrated and highly critical of this idea. Me being me, I got on my angry, ranty horse and wrote this e-mail. Enjoy. :)
