...stupid in that it was too late arriving. I love learning stuff but as an antiauthoritarian in school, I wanted to learn the stuff that I was interested in and scrap the rest. Stick your binomial theorem up your ass, mate. Weights, measures, percentages - I can see that being useful. Probability? You can probably fuck off with that too.
Naturally, this attitude proved a bit of a problem as it is fundamentally the complete opposite of a structured school curriculum. As a result, I went through the motions of schooling rather than really applying myself as well as I could. I did feck all study and passed my Leaving but all the while resenting working on things that I had no interest in. All I needed was enough of a Leaving Cert to become a pilot (which was the original plan) and, to that end, I succeeded.
But NOW, Bob Technology has decided to come up with, what would have been for me, the best idea since breasts were invented. I give you
duenow.com. I remember thinking to myself "Jaysus, if only I had the internet when I was at school - homework would have been a breeze" but this beats the smelly jocks off wasting time Googling about the place and compiling the information into some sort of readable entity. The first parargraph on the site says it all:
Are you sick-and-tired of spending hours in a library or online searching for an essay on your topic -- only to end up with no essay and no quality information? Tired of slaving all night long writing an essay -- only to get a garbage grade? Do you have better things do with your time than spend it writing a useless essay? In the time it takes you to brew a cup of coffee, you'll be done your essay and be free to have a social life, relax, or do anything else that you desire -- simply by using the power of the world's largest essay website. You'll be done your essay and be on with your life in record time and with unparalleled results.
If you have a younger brother, sister, niece or nephew in school, a subscription to this site would make an excellent Christmas present. On Crimbo day, they might look at it and go "great, something for school, thanks a million" with a face on them like a smacked arse, but watch their face do a complete turnaround and light up brighter than the sun's bumhole when you explain to them that you have bought them freedom for Christmas. Free-fucking-dom.
As I said - bollocks to you technology, you're twenty-odd years too late.
Ye ponce.
