THIS IS NOT WORKING AS INTENDED

...when my mum is sometimes in France because of some medical complications, my step mum in Sofia, Bulgaria, my brothers as well and my dad in Romania. And I’m in the UK. Home is just a feeling!

I hate this course, I really do. Mostly because it’s easy, a lot easier than the maths I used to do in school but it’s just put in a very different way.

I’m fed up with ogives, tables, frequency distribution, quantitative analysis, raw data and everything. Sure I am aware that it’s something I might end up using in the future but it’s just presented in a peculiar way.

Baaah.

I’ve been meaning to get a new camera now but I am having trouble finding a decent one – I need a website that spares me all the details that a person (like me) rubbish with camera technology doesn’t want to know. And then there are so many good cameras even when you do sort them out, you don’t know which ones to pick.

If I were to go with previous info, I had a Canon that broke down really fast, a friend of mine got his a bit later and it broke as well so I really can’t trust Canon anymore despite its popularity among camera users.

Life is too complicated when it can be a lot easier.

Despite having to work on his birthday, I think Andrew had a pretty nice day :)
