What Is The World Coming To

If you think of cannabis, you think of Amsterdam. Pot cafe’s selling a fine selection of Class C narcotics. Yet now even Amsterdam is going legally crazy. The new laws, if you want a joint, it can’t have Tobacco in it. Just pure weed. People are more worried about the legal drug than the illegal one. Now thats just silly.

Full report on the BBC’s site.

Internetz Playing Up

You don’t applicate something until its not there. AOL’s been a pain again, and as a result my internet connection is down. 97% of the time, it works fine. Its just the 3% which gets on my nerves!

The only other connection I have access to is the colleges. And that’s filtered against anyone who wants to go onto all the good, non-adult site. I want Flickr back! :(

[Update] Its working again, thank god. Spooked me for a minute there.

Looking To The Future

All this thinking for the future makes is troublesome. Do I go into higher education, or do I go straight into a job. Is 4 years learning and a loan really going to get me a job I want. Why is it that the teachers are making us think about our careers in 30 years time when I hardly know what I’m doing this weekend?

And if I do choose to go to Uni, not straight into the job, which one do I go to? Theres so many! I guess I should go for a subject I’ll enjoy and want to get a job at in the future. Computing then. But I’m just one of several thousend computer people who will be applying for next year (2009). How do I stand out from the croud? Personal statements I guess, but that’s going to be worked on, a lot!

Now I have untill January 15th, 2009 to sort it all out. Time to shift my arse into first gear.

Getting Political

I took a basic test today to find out my political compass, or which way I go in my views.

Turns out I’m close to the Dali Lama and Ghandi. That makes me feel important!
