Okay, first of all, sorry for being a dickhead today, I actually don't know what it is, some kind of illness maybe.
Anyway, good news for those who give a shit, (not many,) but I got History Scholarship! Woo!
Scholarship is a secondary school award for those who want to take it. It's a kind of extension for those who want more exams for a subject. I took it in History because basicly my Mum used to be a History teacher and expected it of me. Well, not really I just took it because I felt I had to, and History was as good a subject as any so I went for it.
Anyway, a fucking hard exam which I bluffed my way through. I just wrote what I thought they wanted me to write, but I really didn't think I would pass. Only about 3% of those who take History pass.
However, one marker gave me a score of 28, and one marker gave me a score of 30, (out of 46,) which gave me an average of 29, which was the cutoff mark between failure and passing.
Now, I wasn't all that stoked, I mean, it's cool and all, but, y'know, yay, wohoo, I got a Scholorship, but really who gives a fuck. So what if it appears on my record of learning and I can put it in My CV? In a few years it won't make any difference at all. (A good note though, it got my folks off my back for a couple of hours, they even forgot to tell my that I'm a lazy bastard.)
However, today I learned of something that sweetened the deal a bit.
Each person who passes up to two scholorship subjects get's a one off payment of $500. Freakin' sweet dude, I don't even deserve it!
Still, it'll probably go into textbooks for University, which I'm starting tomorrow, which of course is what the money's meant for, but I'm going to try and be a skint little fuck as long as possible so I get to keep some of the money. Text books are so fucking expensive I payed $70 for my LAWS 121 text book the other day and it's a boring piece of crap to read.
Anyway, even if I sound bitter, I'm pretty stoked. I get $500 for no reason, so that's all dandy.
So, sorry for being a dickhead. I'll try and snap out of it.
Play Loud,
-Ty.
