I've had an idea! Not only have I bought two disposable cameras in the interim between a week ago and acquiring an actual artsy film camera but I plan to make a beautiful new yorky collage to hand in at some point to make up for all the home works I either didn't do, or took the piss out of... Sorry and thank you to all that have put up with my ridiculous attempts at homework.
Perhaps it's because of my A-level results or the fact I know I have my place at Manchester tucked away safe and sound. But the... flips I give have greatly depleted.
I try a bit... I ask my fellows what it was that I should've known or written down but they remind me that my grades don't count so I retire to a safe distance in a smug haze and continue to do jack.
If you're reading this mum, apologies.
To be fair, realistically, a part of the national curriculum is geared towards passing the exams at the end of the year in order to get into college or university, right? So in actual fact, what the teachers are asking of me is inconsequential, because I need not pass any exams. I am here, taking another year of school to be a sponge to the american culture, live rent free in one of the greatest cities in the world and meet fab people. The very fact that I'm willing to go back to school at all shows my commitment to furthering my education and developing my mind to superior standards.
Homework is such a transient fallacy at this juncture in my life so instead of conforming to the rigid structures laid out for me by the school, I'm going to interpret the assignments as I see fit and do the majority of my learning in class with the future of america.
Oh and I've been going to the gym a lot more because it's really close and it's weirdly empowering to be surrounded by the the proud naked women of new york in the changing rooms. I remain clothed but it doesn't stop them.
