The real world? NAH!!!!!

I studied long and hard to get my degrees. Then the scary part came when I had to leave the safe womb of the university where I learnt so many valueble lessons, such as:
1. The rastas in Knysna are stoolies for the police or some other person posing as the police who gives advice on how to buy pot better next time.
2. You will not necessarily fall after the fourth tot of tequila, but your pool skills may improve exponentially with every tot.
3. Drinking makes everyone silly. Don't stay sober around drunk people, it makes you depressed about the future of the world.
4. Smoking may be bad for you, but damn, is sure helps you get through a night's studying (one every hour on the hour)
5. You can say no to beer.

Then I started working. This taught me the following

1. People are bastards
2. Even people you knew before, are bastards
3. There is a reason for workers' unions (I still can't get myself to join one though, it goes against the grain to join anything)

Now I am older and wiser, I have decided that it is better to learn than to earn.

I think I'm going back to university. This time I'll study applied science instead of pure science. Perhaps Engineering... yeah at a university near the coast!
