Alice Cooper-ness - Reality

This is Not About Alice Cooper

For reference it was a note to his song "schools out". As many from all over will know, this marks the end of the school year. While some of you may have finished recently, I have finished today. Woohoo.

It has been a pretty quiet few days for me, but one that has left me with concerns. We start on Monday, where I had few worries about the day. As a reward from the drama department after our production (yes, I do shows) we got to go to the Harry Potter Studios. This was enjoyable and I had a great time, but as this is the awkward mans blog, there is bound to be some areas I was concerned with. To remember the place, I took pictures, this would be normal, but I felt so out of place. While other tourists brought Nikon Cameras and professional gear. I used the small lens on my phone. I hated taking photos, it made me look out of place, and is poof that your surroundings do affect your mental state. Despite this I was forced to pay London's prices, so I wonder, is it really that great to live in London, wouldn't it be better (especially as a young person) to live in a more rural or just less urban setting. This could explain why many people don't move to London as young adults, yet despite this, London is growing, so can opportunity really exceed living cost, apparently so. Yet the next largest cities (Birmingham / Manchester / Glasgow) are not growing by as much, so what makes London so special. So once again, we find ourselves with an economics question. I bet you love me. -_-

Tuesday is where the stress set in as summer project work kicked in. Moreover; I had missed Mondays lessons and had to catch up. So, inevitably I was left feeling down, again. But again this just left me pondering the importance of the work, will I be here next year (in school) and how much of my summer will be wasted. But again, this got me depressed, so lets move on, it's never good to continue when you feel down.

Finally we end up with Today, Wednesday. Final day of School, where I ended up not doing as much as I thought. I wasn't heavily worked, as I had expected, and didn't use a pen for most of the day. But after the inevitable assembly, I asked myself, what shall I do with myself. As much as I realised I had projects to do. School was always a daily routine, as many find myself content with the norm. While I am not bashing holidays, I feel the summer one is too long. Many kids find themselves not knowing what to do, and because of the nature of our country they do not choose to expand their knowledge but instead waste their precious hours.

 - Yeah, but you do that
 - So...
 - Isn't that contradicting
 - You know, people can do things that they think are wrong.

And surely that is a point, many kids, know they should be productive, but don't. Why, because we don't have the mentality. The only way this will change is by changing the kids. In the mean time one way to do this is to reduce the summer holiday. Because, if kids are never wasting their lives they will never feel worthless or unprepared for school. But maybe I'm a dreamer. On a side note, 10 point to which one of my friends, daily review styles I ripped off.

Never miss an opportunity.
