Here's a mental exercise that might help...
Meditate for a while - clear your mind of all thoughts. And then repeat to yourself, over and over again, "I am ready to start my work. I am ready to start my work. I am ready to start my work." Keep saying this, and mean it. Make sure you really believe this and know this.
Then stop. And hopefully you'll be motivated to work.

The standard of the acts is usually pretty naff, but this year took the biscuit; they were terrible. But that's not to say everyone didn't have a laugh.
Three lads from my year won the show with their (intended) camp version of a Westlife song. I'm close mates with two of them, so I was pleased for them.
That was my 8th and last S.I.T.E. in school and I was a little disappointed it was quite rubbish.
Ah well, off for Christmas now, so things are okay with me! Dreading starting revision though...I've got a HUGE amount of work to get through. Just can't get motivated to start it....

I finished school today as well. We didn't have a talent contest thankfully - although we have in years gone past - but we had the traditional Christmas assembly - an hourful of shitty singing, slutty dancing and patheic attempts at humour from the teachers, while we are seat cross-legged on the hard floor, freezing and with pins and needles in our feet. Talk about overblown bollocks.
Me? Jaded? Nah.

Hehehe, I haven't had assembly like that since Primary School! I only have assembly once a week and it's in a nice lecture theater with nice seat Downside is that it's at breaktime.

Our regular assembly (also once a week) is in a small theatre which is on the school campus, with decent seats; but the Christmas (and Summer) assembly, in order to accomodate more people in one go, is done in the main sports hall. Horrible! Just horrible!

Oz and James' wine adventure? I like that because of wine. Do you like it because of James

Well, I watched initially because of James May, I'm not even going to try and deny that, but it was really interesting and I'm studying the decrease in popularity of french wines and the increase in popularity of New Worl Wines anyway for my French oral, so to hear a television presenter that I like talking about it is an added bonus!

I don't think Top-Up fees are going to work very well at all. The government is pouring so much money into funding for poorer students to encourage them to go to University that it's putting other students off.
I don't see why your parents' income should influence your loan, because they're not the ones going to University or using the loan. Subsequently, poorer students get lots of help, wherea avergae middle-call students, whose parents have enough to be comfortable but not enough to be overly-extravagant miss out on loans. Students with rich parents might not even be inclined to give their children any money for University, and therefore they miss out as well.
Too much money is being poured into one end of society and it's unbalancing the other.
Sideshow Meg wrote:Eton, Rugby and Harrow aren't Universities though, they're privately run schools.
You have a point about that though Frasier, my parents spend nearly £7000 a year on my school fees at the moment so £3000 is half the cost, but they've told me that whilst they will help me me out, they're not paying my loan for me, which I think is fair.
