A holiday post from Brins


Greetings to any and all. The holiday period has ended, and now I have but two weeks of extreme ambivalence to come until school recommences. However - in England at least - there are those who have four more weeks, so there you go. I usually have little to say other than to comment on the preposition of there being a limited number of visitors at the moment, or to stage a good old paragraph of indifference, rounded off by everyone's favourite word: 'Fine'.

Well, truth to told, the same applies today. All other areas of existence aside, it is in the upcoming weeks that the widely dreaded examination results strike the nation's children at a presumably-determined-but-uncirculated date, meaning that most will have to keep a firm eye over their shoulder lest they get jumped by them. If you're in the same cruise-liner, just don't get conceited, or disappointment may ensue. You can't argue with a piece of paper in any day and age, so you'll have to suck it up if it's mean to you. But there's always appeals, so nevermind.
Of course, approximately 17 years from now 'it won't matter what grade you got', unless you intend to attend a high school reunion, in which case it may matter for several minutes further, but after that, no more.

On a side note, the King James bible ends with "The End". Funny, really.

Is that all? Yes. Goodnight to all of you, and 'good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whatever.' - (guess who)

So long from Brins
