Update

It Has Been Too Long Ms Blogger!

Not blogged in ages!  So, I think I should do one, just to pass the time =D

What has happened to me recently?  I know no one has asked me that, and I'm glad... would be worried if they did =P  I tell everybody EVERYTHING! Well not quite everything, but with Twitter and Facebook, people tend to find out about my daily going on's.

First things first.. I didn't get into University. So paid UCAS money for no reason. If I knew in advance this was going to happen I would have applied to colleges earlier. I have good highers.. so why don't Universities want me?  Because we live in a Capitalist society. Universities have had major cuts, so the only way to make up for this is by getting students from over sea.

   Argh - brainwave from Sociology! Society is supposed to be meritocratic, sadly this is false. If our society was meritocratic, we would be rewarded by our merits, not by how much money we have. I understand English students have to pay for their Education, I really do. But (listen), what I am thinking is that Scottish people get it for free, but are continuously being denied places, no matter how good their grades are. Scottish Universities are looking into getting more foreigners into their establishments which is a joke!  I would pay if they wanted me to, I actually would. I wonder if that would have gave me a better chance?  Sadly, I don't have a time machine to take me back to see whether this would have worked.


   Secondly... I am getting my braces off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ohhhh the exclamation marks xD   If anyone knows me properly, they will know how insecure my braces made me feel. At work kids ask me why I have them, the parents reply, "She didn't look after her teeth when she was younger."   ¬_¬   Parents... I know you want to scare your kids but don't make me sound like a tramp thanks!
Mark the date in your calendar, on the 25th of August at 11:30am, these bad boys should be out of my mouth faster than you can say Shazzam. I don't know what my reaction will be, but I will be smiling, LOTS.

   Last but not least... I am going to England to visit my friends. Many people may be curious why I am excited about going to England, especially with the Rioting... But I guess they will never really understand. I'll explain it though.


  When I was 12 I moved to England with my mum. Moving there was extremely hard at first, but it was the best decision my mum has ever made for me. I loved it there. People may have been racist about the fact I am Scottish ("Alannah is a Scottish Bitch" written on a lamp-post helped with this conclusion). But I was strangely happy. Mainly because I was different. Here, I am different.. but for the wrong reasons I think. Everyone wanted to talk to me in England because of my Scottish accent - but here.. meh? I blend in? Whatever.  My friend Laura always made me laugh. She truly understood me. Our friendship blossomed when I was following her around school saying she looked like someone xD   Oh fate!


So, that's it really.
End of Story.
Goodnight! x
