My new obsession!

Ok, I have found a new obsession.

He happens to live in London.

He also happens to travel to school with one of my best friends

He is stylish and oh so gorgeous.

He is confident and kooky.

He is so cute it makes me want to cry.

He is short but in a really sweet way.

He is intelligent too and very quirky.

But I will never be able to date him- he is off limits.

God, I'm so jealous of Miranda- she spends all her time with him now. He loves her so much, he's always with her, holding her close and hanging around her. She's even going to start bringing him shopping with us- without even asking us! I don't think I can spend that much time around him without breaking down screaming "I love you!" :'(

Yes, you got it.

I have a crush on Miranda's new hair.

Here he is in all his glory. I couldn't find a picture of him without Miranda in though.

Yours jealously,

Katie

Protests

Ok, so I rarely even blog, but I found something that I really want to talk about and which actually holds some importance, so here we go.

Thanks to the crappy state of the economy and the need for cuts in funding, the government wants to TRIPLE tuition fees to cost £9000 max.

Of course, this is ridiculous as many people will not be able to afford to go to college or university. These people will be left without the necessary degrees to get any of the good jobs to 1) give them a stable future and 2) support the future economy.

As it is those with less money who won't be able to afford university education, the difference between middle and lower class will grow a lot larger. This will also make it more difficult for families to bridge the gap- those born into families lacking in money will not get enough education to get a good job and so they will not be able to become lawyers or doctors.

Of course, if these people cannot become lawyers or doctors, it will only be the middle class who can fill these jobs. This will result in not enough people to fill these jobs- though perhaps that's what the government needs, as they are cutting the health sector too and many people will lose their jobs.

So, what? Does the coalition want to leave us with no future, no jobs and a massive gap between two similar classes? Whatever the hell they're trying to achieve, it's not going to be good for this country.

So, yes, CRAZILY ENOUGH, students are protesting against this.

Yesterday and next Tuesday, too, people have been and will be walking out of school to go to the protest in the centre of London. The media picks up on all the negative information- "yobs vandalise car" or "student vandals shout obscenities", but hey, the media will always pick up the rubbish side of things (especially the daily mail ahem-hem) Some people say it's dumb- walking out of your education to protest about losing future education- but is it really better to just sit around and watch so many people's futures be snatched away from them? Without the protests, would the government even have thought twice about tripling fees?

Sad as it is, even after that little rant, I didn't make it out of school yesterday cause the door was being guarded and I couldn't get over the fence, but some people made it out or just didn't come into school in the first place and ya know what? I salute them :)

that's right, if you went to the protest, go you.

SALUTING YOU while poofing up an imaginary moustache,

Katie.
