I shouldn't be here!!

Currently, I'm sitting in my room, working on a report for my diploma, entitled "why I enrolled on the diploma". I did think about just sending in a copy of the application form again, they asked the same question on that, but I can guess what I might get back, and my days as a student would come to a very sudden halt. I also have to include what is going to stop me completing the diploma, and how I will overcome this. Now, potentially I can see a lot of things that could stop me taking the diploma, a few of which are none too pleasent. Being flattened by a bus could be a potential obstacle, getting eaten at work, getting fired, a "marshalling" incident gone wrong, power cuts, the list is endless. I have 1500 words, so I better pick my reasons carefully. I also now have to make up contingency plans for everything that could possibly go wrong, including the above reasons for why I might not finish the course. 1500 words is not enough.
Something else that could stop me is Formula One. This weekend its the British Grand Prix. By all rights, I should be there, not here. For the past 5 years I have made the pilgrimage to the home of British motor racing to see this race. Last year I got soaked, and I loved every minute of it. Lewis Hamilton won is spectactular fashion in the wet. this year, he's second to last on the grid because the brick of a car he is driving is just not good enough. I agree with Eddie Jordan, it needs to be torched (preferably whist parked next to a red car, kills two birds with one stone).
But sadly we did not go this year. Instead, I have to get all my team gear on and watch it in front of the tv. Its just not the same!! The sound's not the same, the atmosphere, its all not here, its there!!
Meanwhile, whilst watching the race the pile of college work will not be getting any smaller, but at least its not going anywhere....just like me.
