Wrong turns
I’m signing myself up for some information about getting into teaching as a career, but I’m dubious about it. I’d be a history teacher, and the problem there? History isn’t exactly an essential subject as far as the curriculum is concerned, so I’m worried about the competition for places on training courses, and even the potential competition for jobs after that.
I don’t know what I want to do with my life anymore. For ages I just wanted to stay in academia, teach at university level, do my own research and things in the world of archaeology and things. What changed? Did I change, or did the world around me change?
I’m not a people person by nature, but I love to talk about history of all kinds. I love to tell people things they never knew, to help people understand things they never actually thought about much before. I love to give people a perspective on current events by looking at the past. Does this mean I’d be a good history teacher for 11-16 year olds? Or does it mean I just like to be a know-it-all?
I feel like I’ve missed the boat so many times in my life; through my own stubbornness, a lack of perspective, or simple circumstance making it too hard for me to want to take those opportunities. It’s hard to know where to start in trying to make sense of what’s happened between, say, graduating with my BA and the ‘now’ - 3 and a half years later.
I want my independence, and I want to do something I can be passionate about. That’s got to be possible, right?

Such gorgeous colours and details.
This art proves what we nerd girls have known all along. Han Solo is the sexiest spacer this side of Nar Shaddaa.
And female Twi’lek Jedi have lightsaber-emitting breasts.

Loved this game. I also loved the poster of this artwork that came with the game. I also loved the music… I just really loved this game.

We listen to BBC 6 Music every day in our studio/flat. We believe it is one of the most important sources for new and experimental music in the UK, and thus contributes to the culture of the nation at large. Today, BBC director general Mark Thompson publicly recommended, amongst other cuts, the closure of BBC 6 Music. But there is hope: The Guardian reports that “BBC Trust chairman Sir Michael Lyons said that if there was a big enough public response about the cuts, he would ask management to rethink its strategy.” Please get in touch with the BBC Trust and ask them to save BBC 6 Music. Send an email to srconsultation@bbc.co.uk and join the Facebook group Save BBC 6 Music (There are links to various petitions on this page.) In a humble effort of our own, we have designed this little logo. If you have a blog, flickr, tumblr et cetera, please post this logo to help spread the word. So far, the BBC has received thousands of complaints about this decision. It’s not too late: The trust has opened up the discussion, and our numbers can help save this important music institution.
Via everyone. Pass it on.
