My college is possibly one of the worst educational institutions I've been to.
Here, I'll paste two convos I'm currently having on MSN:
---
ewis Furber says (21:31):
Apparenlty, SEEVIC is shutting down loads of departments
Lewis Furber says (21:32):
Languages and classics are going
Samuel. says (21:32):
Computing, too.
Lewis Furber says (21:33):
It makes no sense. They must lose money, surely?
Samuel. says (21:35):
I think they're replacing all the ict/computing stuff with btecs.
Lewis Furber says (21:37):
Oh right,.
They're just getting rid of the others for good, lol
Samuel. says (21:38):
Ah, I see.
Painful.
What are classics, btw?
Lewis Furber says (21:38):
It's like philosophy, without the intellect
Lewis Furber says (21:39):
You just read ancient greek and roman books basically
Samuel. says (21:39):
I can see why those would be dropped.
Not even the Italians/Greeks read that shit anymore.
Why the fuck should we?
Lewis Furber says (21:40):
Haha, tbh, all the stuff worth reading is covered in philosophy, so I won't miss classics, lol

Allan says (21:30):
i still dont know if they have received my application yet
do you know how to find out ?
Samuel. says (21:30):
I found out when I started getting mail from the unis.
But you can try and log into UCAS track
If that works, it's been submitted.
Allan says (21:31):
ahh right cheers
cos dunno if my teacher has done a reference yet
Samuel. says (21:32):
Fucking backhand them.
You've only got like 3 weeks before the final UCAS deadline.
You can't let the college choke it.
Allan says (21:32):
thh man thats true
Allan says (21:33):
might do careers tomorow to find out
or speak to my form tutor
they better not fuck this up
Samuel. writes:
Samuel. says (21:33):
They fucked up whats-her-faces.
Grace's.
Samuel. says (21:34):
Now she's only applied to one uni, or something.
Because they fucked up really bad.
Allan says (21:34):
whattt
didnt know about this
im gonna get so agg if they screw it
and what the fuck is that drawing?
Samuel. says (21:35):
Yeah, something because she's applying for medicine, so she had to apply earlier, and they ended up losing something, or something. And they didn't find it until after the deadline, and only Leeds accepted the application after that.
Allan says (21:35):
ahh man thats quite bad actually
Allan says (21:36):
i woundn't be surprised if the college fucked up tbh
Samuel. says (21:36):
It's such a shit college.
Allan says (21:37):
i know
not sure why people rate it
Samuel. says (21:37):
I don't think they do.
It's just statistics.
It's that quote.
"There's lies, there's damned lies, and there's statistics"
Allan says (21:38):
yhh true that
Allan says (21:39):
but before i started i got then impression it was a siik college
but it really isn't
Samuel. says (21:40):
I know, possibly the shittest institution I've been to.
Allan says (21:40):
agree

I just thought it quite coincidental.
