It’s that third hand hold, the left up and through, when you have to pull on it and your whole body is trying to twist the other way. Such an awesome route. :D

Crash test video of a Smart Car hitting a wall at 70 mph. Compare with these tests of a pair of Chinese sedan. Ouch. (thx, eric)

What do you want to do today (and tomorrow and the day after that and next week)?

I think my problem has always been that i’ve never know what I wanted to do.  Though it’s only just occured to me why that might be. I think it’s because how the hell are you supposed to know unless you’ve spent a great deal of time acutually doing something. I suppose it’s obvious really isn’t it. It’s that we’re expected to know what it is we want to do (and i’m refering mostly to gainful employment) well in advance of actually doing it. That we have to make that decision and stick to it for certain jobs - physion, Dr etc. It’s that doing some work experience going in for  a week in no way really prepares you does it, or reading about in in some booklet.

That said, I am really enjoying teaching. It’s taken me this long to get there but I think have. It’s nothing like I imagined it would be. I mean, I was in a school voluntarily for ages but now, actually taking a class full time is just so different.

So, it’s just guess work? A sense, an idea?

Then do something about it?

I feel like that a lot. Like it should be more then the car you drive, what phone you have, then having to worry about insurance and what tv you have. Hmmm.

(I don’t want a tv, I sometimes wish I could throw my phone in the nearest river)

Another day right?
