Social Clubbing


Hi all.

Okay so, I know it's been a long time since I last blogged, but I won't give you a full run-through of what's happened in the past few months because frankly, it'd be a bit tedious. Although, if you manage to make it to the end of this post, then cheers!

Why'd I decide to blog about something now? probably two reasons, the first being the fact that I made a 'pinky promise' with one of the flatmates to stay awake till 5, so I'm basically trying to kill time; the other reason would be the fact that I'm now back at my flat, after having left my flatmates in a club, mainly because my level of soberness was by far the highest out of everyone there. More importantly, I shall now explain why I hate clubs.

First off, I'd like to make it clear that I do understand why people go to clubs; it's a social thing to do, there's euphoric music with a decent soundsystem, there's a chance to pick up a one-night stand, and it's an excuse to get completely off your face on every substance known to man. They're fair points, depending on what sort of person you are. Personally, they're poor excuses.

As such, most if not all the times I've been at a club I've been sober enough to look at the complete mess of states that people are in. I can't help but observe people as they sway their wrecked masses about, casually bumping into each other, occasionally looking around for people to grind on. Possibly the thing that annoys me most about clubs are the people who casually move up behind someone they haven't met and proceed to rub themselves into the other person's crotch like a sexually frustrated chihuahua. Idiots. I go on a bit of a rage when the person involved is someone I know, and they clearly aren't comfortable.

After noticing that sort of thing happening, I begin to start judging everyone in the club, and come to the conclusion that simply put, society is really messed up. The worst thing is when I realise that I'm simply not of the right frame of mind to start a group conversation or contribute, because I'm too busy thinking about how much of a bad time I'm having. Either that reason, or the fact that I'm a lot shorter than everyone else so people don't notice me. Then again, this does happen to me even when we're having group conversations at other times. Perhaps it's my low self-esteem that I seem to have developed since the start of University. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving my time here, but I just feel like people view me in a completely different way to how my friends back in London did. Not that it's a bad thing, I just think I still have to have time to adjust. Mehhhhhh.

Until next time.

Leaving Free Education

Hi all,

Since I've been going on about stuff that's happened in the past, I thought I should start to blog properly about stuff that happens day-by-day.

Today was a pretty good day, everyone seemed to be in a good mood, despite the fact that it's the second day of exam season. I still don't think it's sunk in yet about how close I am to leaving the Sixth Form. Only a week left until we're given Study Leave. Needless to say, the biggest change will be not seeing the same faces each week, and not seeing my friends each day. I don't know anyone else in the Sixth Form who are likely to go to Bristol. Probably better that way though. New beginnings!

I've requested to do a speech at the Leaver's Mass (held just before we're given Study Leave). I guess they won't say no because I'm the Head Boy, but this is just me assuming. I want to do a speech because I'd like to give a kind of 'sign-off' to the rest of the students. Also, I'd like to feel as though I've actually fulfilled my title. There are other people who I think the title of Head Boy should have been given to; people that actually get involved regularly in societies and take leadership. As I've found out from my time trying to fundraise for an Expedition to Uganda, I really don't like taking charge of things. I don't like bossing other people. I don't like having to make the main decisions. I especially don't like it when there's money involved.

Ah, Leaver's Ball...
So, if anyone from the Sixth Form is reading this, are you going? The answer from most people seems to be "Ahh I dunno man, are you going?!" or "£50? DAS A BUMP BRUV".
I'll say that I'm going, to encourage others to go. Also I'm kinda obliged to. Lol.

This'll probably have to be explained in another post, or will never be explained at all, but I will genuinely miss my Further Maths classes, primarily because of the brainchild of two people in the class; Kaiser 'Face to Face' Iqbal and Jad 'Big 12' El-Houssami

Until next time.
