TOP SEVEN THINGS THAT MAKE ME WANT TO SINK A NAZI SHIP IN RAGE*

1. No longer studying Revs as a subject and having to listen to the new class talking about the escalation of the revolution with all the vigour and excitement that my collegue and I once did, and longing for the thrill that came with my revolutionary virginity

2. Never having time to do fun things like reading silly novels and googling notable Russians, because The Man keeps me busy with homework and SAC preparation

3. Coming home to find that there is a tragic lacking in dairy products in my fridge (ie: milk, yoghurt, cheese...) for comforting purposes

4. My estranged history teacher refusing to add me on facebook or even text me back because he either:
A) Thinks I'm a freak of the slightly stalker-y nature (which holds perhaps some truth)
OR
B) He thinks that talking to me is inappropriate because he used to be my teacher - which I don't think is an excuse at all
OR
C) He doesn't like me as a person - which I think is the least likely as we got on like a house on fire when he was my teacher and he referred to me as "memorable", so NOT a throw away line

5. The tassels off my fox fur stole falling off because it has been poorly cared for by it's previous owner, and not being able to restore it to its previous vampish glory due to an ongoing absence of income

6. Learning that History Revolutions was NOT marked up last year, and that I have foolishly been quoting a false figure as a study score

7. Not being able to rent "Che Part Two: Guerrilla" from my dvd rental place because they lost a copy and the other two are onloan and have been re-newed repeatedly.
