Visible to anyone in the world

Disappointing mark on my assignment that I worked so hard on to try and improve on the last one - got 69 to match TMA 03. Killed my motivation stone dead but the show must go on.

Passed my driving theory (47/50 on multiple choice, 68/75 on hazard perception) so that's a bit less poor! Was in Edinburgh on friday/saturday which reminded me why I love the city so much and had my first shift at my first job at a hotel which also went well.

A letter from Edinburgh uni told me basically that even though I have an offer I should still keep working and trying to do well apparently which is the last thing I feel like doing at the moment - reasons for staying in school are slowly disappearing one by one and quite frankly I want to be away at university already and make a fresh start. It'd be fab to just leave school, get lots of shifts at work and make lots of money then go to uni loaded but instead I'll see school out til the end. There are still some things to look forward to though - spring fair on saturday, strictly come dingwall next week etc. - but I think everyone's at the point where they're too old for Dingwall Academy now.

I'll keep studying nonetheless... It's probably time I try to drag my marks out of the gutter!

Sounds like you are doing ok. Keep on keeping on, it'll pay off in the end.
