Besides this, many smaller sentient voices inside my head arewhispering to me and imploring me to paint something. But no. I do not wish to at this point in time. Hold though, perhaps one could consider this post as trolling, or perhaps even spamming? If that is the mindset one finds themselves in, then I implore you're forgiveness, and ensure you that it is not intended to be so.

I have pretty much cleared about half of all the ward discharges for one of the neurosurgeons (from about Feb-mid March) this morning. Perhaps as much as 3/4 even
I'm working as a medical secretary, although I am actually a biomedical engineer (there are currently no jobs doing what I want to do, and I need cash to support my habit of staying alive ).
I haven't watched anime since I tried rewatching Neon Genesis a month ago. Been too busy.
I however have been listening to lots of Mayhem and listening to music about finding a dead nun and doing naughty stuff to her insides certainly doesn't help it also doesn't help im in a band that plays the same genre.
Dunno what the real reason is, I guess i'm dakkas Goth kid.

Allow me to list just a few reasons the system has failed because of these tests:
1. The scores aren't used for anything, not even placements in next years classes. They are just to show that a school can met some disgusting margin of proficiency, to get funding.
Do you want to know what my schools levels for proficiency are ? Reading: 68%, Writing: 58%, Science: 38%, Math: 68%.
2. The school goes on a two hour delay schedule. This means that if you had a block class (between an hour and an hour and a half) it's now only 40 minutes long.
If you had a period class (45 minutes) it gets cut down to 20, which is not enough time to go over material.
3. You are given two hours to complete thirty multiple choice questions, and 1 to 2 short answer questions.
Everybody is done with in an hour. The rest of the time, students watch the clock, slowly ticking by, wishing they had something, anything, to do.
Why not make that something, oh i dunno, teaching?
4. The tests occur at an inconvenint time as well. Right as classes/electives are changed, resulting in students having absolutely no idea where they're supposed to go, because their classes were screwed up already.
5. Did I mention that the system has failed yet?
Also, in english, we started watching the Baz/Buz Lurman Romeo and Juliet. Pretty good so far, but we're only in to the part where Mercutio pulls his "sword" out.

Is that the modern-day one? I love that movie! The ending made me gak bricks (which is a good thing).
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Yeah, that one. But since classes are cut short (see above angst filled post) we only got to the point where Mercutio pulls out his "Sword", so I haven't really gotten to decide whether I'll like it.
But if it's anything like Moulin Rouge, I think i will.

Thank you for listening, my freinds.
I don't think a day goes by without me contemplating murdering someone in the most bloodthirsty, brutal, inventive, metal way possible.

Some mod keeps deleting my posts for no good reason. This is getting fishy.

I feel some explanations are in order as to why my posts seemed a bit odd yesterday evening. Whilsts being beaten up at school.....again, I took quite a nasty hit to my head which sent me into one of my..."funny turns", lets call them. Whilst I'm in one of these I have surprisingly little contol over what I actually say, so any kind of dribble could have come out of my mouth. So, yeah, just ignore any posts by me after 4pm yesterday and everything'll be fine .
My trip to work today was great. The sun was really strong, but it was nice and cool, there were no kids or university students around as it is half term, and I wore my sunglasses and leather jacket and a nice crisp white shirt.
I almost hit a monkey with my car on my way to work on Chiba route 88 this morning at 7 am. Little a$$hole was eating out of a stray bag of garbage right in the middle of the road.
