second year (repeated) of uni...
woop, almost forgot how badly I failed university.

on my second attempt at my second year I comprehensively failed all of the exams because I spent all my revision time trying to get 100% on tony hawk 2 (which I bloody did as well, score!).

when the resits came round my girlfriend had gone on holiday with her family so I spent 3 weeks alone in our flat watching horror films and tattooing myself....after that, the department bloke in charge of something or other told me it probably wasn't worth my while staying on. I tended to agree with him.

epilogue: when I was 17ish and thinking about uni I told an older friend of mine that I thought it'd be easier if I didn't bother with it and just got a job instead...he patronisingly told me that "the real world" would be a lot harder than I thought, that uni would be a breeze, blah blah blah. well, turns out the real world is a piece of piss whereas uni is a torture garden of self-motivation and unwanted responsibility. wish I'd never gone...especially as it directly led me to psycho ex no.1 and indirectly to psycho ex no.2.

APOLOGISE FOR LENGTH!! etc
