How the world changes.

Only a few years ago words like 'noob,' 'pwn,' and 'owned' and all their derivations were only ever uttered in games and such. To do so in public was to invite weird stares and blank looks.

As such, it's rather amusing to hear everyone and their siblings bandying around such words today. Goes to show the extent of gaming penetration in society, hurrah. I predict in a couple of decades or so, gaming will be recognised as an artform. Shall have to stick around and see. I may yet be vindicated.

----------------------------------------------

In other news, I have a plan.

I shall cultivate an image as one of NJC's worst students. You know, frequently missing collar pin, metal buttons, sporadic skipper of classes, so on and so forth.

And then I shall get 4 As for my A'levels.

If I had more time, I would aim for something loftier, just for the fun of it. Scholarships and the like, just to prove that acedemic success can come to those who don't mug. I have always believed that quality trumps quantity.

I enjoy beating people at their own game.

For the sake of seeing the look on some peoples faces.
For the vindication of my work ethic and principles.
For the opportunity, when i walk out the side gate with my result slip, to flip a bird to that huge crest over the grandstand and walk away.

I will do this.

And I will not look back.

Much.
