Pension Cuts Protest 2011

It seems over half the people in Exeter turned out to march down the High Street today. Teachers, NHS staff and many others marched down. However, to me, all this protesting is silly. To me, everyone just wants to work less time, for more money. I'm not surprised immigrants are getting British jobs if we all have a paddy when a portion of our money is cut. For example, a new teacher will earn on average £7000 more than a new soldier. So why are they complaining? The soldiers didn't protest when their money was cut in 2000, did they? Plus, it's hardly like we're on harsh auserity measures like Greece. People in Brazil say, would do anything for pensions like ours. People should really just bite their lips and get on with life. This is an economic crisis, and unfortunately we will have to make sacrifices in order to help the economy get better. To me though, I can see the their point of protesting: it would make more sense to cut the useless managers that sit on their arses all day, five-a-day co-oridinators and teenage pregnancy co-ordinators. Scrapping EMA barely benefited the current situation, but no, they allow stupid 'Politically Correct' jobs and greedy bankers to continue grabbing our money in bonuses, and leave students with nothing. Plus, it doesn't help that Scottish pupils get university for free when the English have to pay fully. Guess who's paying for that? The British government. I say that leaving Scotland to be independant would be a better idea! In Wales, they get free prescriptions, and who's paying? The British, oh yes. So why don't we just leave them to their own parliament? All of this is nothing to do with any political party, it's simply down to greediness and materialistic attitudes of society. Who ever said discipline was bad? We're becoming anarchists that are screwing up society! Hint the pathetic riots my generation caused in the summer. It's going to take generations to get this country back on it's poor, pathetic feet...

And The Migraines Continue...

Oh yes. The bitch is here to stay.
I ended collapsing in the middle of Exeter on Tuesday evening. It came on so suddenly, and my legs just gave way. I ended up in Starbucks with a hot chocolate, while the nice lady called my mum in to pick me up. Total piss take. Now I have a dog tag, and a bunch of instructions in my purse. When I went to see the doctor yesterday, he prescribed me the same nightly medicine, so I'm guessing it's here to stay for a while. I don't deserve any of this. This is overkill for my silly mistakes of the past. I high doubt I'll make it in the Army either with all this. The side effects are so unpredictable, and hurt like a bitch. Blinding headaches, weak legs, loss of sense and co-ordination, terrible eye pain, light sensitivity: the list just goes on. It looks as though I'm going to have to give up Jiu Jitsu for this year, as I'm always tired and I always seem to feel heavy and weak. In a way, I'm also glad I gave up cadets, as I wouldn't be safe marching, let alone shooting. I have to take the next day off if I have a migraine too, because I'm always crappy and tired, and hurt like hell. Then that makes me behind in college coursework, which stresses me out again. So not fair. I also keep randomly dropping things, so I'm starting to think the ditzies aren't as little as I first thought. I really hope I don't end up with a medi-tag. Plus, I won't be safe to drive once I'm 17 if this keeps happening. Especially if it happens with no warning. Life sucks at the moment.

Classics Trip: Clytemnestra

17th November 2011

I went to Oxford to see a play in Ancient Greek for a Classics trip. For the first two hours, I wandered round with Havanah, Averil, and some other people I really don't know the names of. We went and looked round the Ashmolean Museum, which was rather impressive! It's just a shame the Ancient Egyptian area was down for maintenance. However, I bought myself a poster of the Heiroglyphic alphabet! We also saw some guy riding a piano round, which was rather funny! The play we went to see at Oxford Playhouse was called Clytemnestra, I think! The play was quite strange actually, as it had English actors, speaking in Ancient Greek, and wearing Japanese Noh costumes. It was actually pretty good, but I'm glad they had the subtitles for the Ancient Greek! All in all, a good day! Shame it was a year to the day though...

Equal Rights For Gurkhas!

I was watching the remembrance day programme on the BBC last night, at the Royal Albert Hall. They had all these stories about British troops and their families, which are very sad, as many of them have died young. They were the bravest. However, nearer the end, I saw the Gurkha band perform, followed by a performance dance by some troops with their iconic knives. I have read online about their pensions being terrible, and the conditions some of them have had to live in. They have served with our military for decades, and they deserve to be treated with the same dignity and respect, and pay for that matter, as the other brave soldiers from this country. They may be from Nepal, but they often still fight alongside our British troops. They are still an essential part of our military, and should not be used as cheap labour.

Another Migraine...

Urgh. It's been going on since last Tuesday and it doesn't seem to be shifting. I didn't do any of my homework over the college half-term, and I'm finding it really hard to focus on my college work in general. I feel like crap too. Well, I suppose it's my fault. When I went to see the doctor earlier this week, he just gave me some new tablet to take, but it might take a week or so to actually work. In the mean time, I'm falling behind in my actual work, or missing important lessons. I really hope I'm not going to fail this year. Stupid migraine. Perhaps fireworks tonight will make it better? Or perhaps worse. This so isn't fair. It nearly always feels as though my brain is throbbing in my skull, and sometimes I have little ditzies, and lose my co-ordination. Apparently it's made worse by stress. Stress my arse. Now I have a pill for the actual migraine, a pill at night to prevent the migraine, painkillers AND vitamin supplements. Yummy concoction. All I want is my head to stop hurting, for it all to go away, but no. It's here to stay for a bit! :/
