I passed my driving test last week so I'm very happy about that, I've been doing lots of driving since and not much blogging!<br /><br />I'm being kept busy at school; I had a council meeting today where we're supposed to be able to make a difference to how the 6th form is run and put forward our suggestions. I'd like to see more parties personally, and I think Dan is on to a winner with his suggestions for bike sheds.<br /><br />As the deadline for UCAS applications draws closer I've been considering the possibility of taking a gap year more and more, I'd love to go to South America and do some sort of volunteer work, it would help with my Spanish before hopefully studying it at uni and it would also be a life changing experience. I think everyone should do something amazing at some point in their life and doing that and seeing some of the world and actually genuinely helping others would be far more impressive than anything I've done so far. I'll have to discuss the possibility further with friends and family.<br /><br />I'm hoping to see my boyfriend soon, it's been a few days now and I really miss him. I'm sure we can work something out so we get to see each other a bit more regularly from now on, especially as I now have the use of my mum's car.<br /><br />That's all for now x urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:ashtray_dave:1341 2006-09-07T16:27:59Z 2006-09-07T16:27:59Z <table width="350" align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"><tr><td bgcolor="#F88B8B" align="center"><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="color:black; font-size: 14pt;"><b>You Are a "Don't Tread On Me" Libertarian</b></font></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#A7CEFF"><center><img src="http://images.blogthings.com/whatsyourpoliticalpersuasionquiz/libertarian.jpg" height="100" width="100"></center><font color="#000000"><br />You distrust the government, are fiercely independent, and don't belong in either party.<br />Religion and politics should never mix, in your opinion... and you feel opressed by both.<br />You don't want the government to cramp your self made style.
