Alistar mate,

If I was a worst person, I would punch you. But I'm not
like that. You see, what I am wondering is that whether
we can't go because we are "spotty students". You see, if that is the case, then
I'm really, really pissed off. Students are normal people too. We are not some
special case. We are not any more amazing that anyone else on the planet. The
fact that this government will give me around �3000 a year for my accodmation,
which, incidentally gives me around a tenner a week for food, clothing and other
expenses while, for the next 40 years of my life, I will be giving them a
substanical amount of my income through tax back to them, plus the loan to
repay - I have to pay for a �40 train ticket to get down to London should show
to you and whoever else that I rather want to go. Considering too, that �40
would make a rather good piss-up. 

As for why the university would care the fact that we lied to get into the
Expo, well, they probably won't that much. I can't see them chucking us out,
however, if they did find out, they wouldn't be very pleased. Fair enough, I
could live with that. But would you ever trust a student that you know has lied
to do what they want? mmm ... I suppose you might be able to. But, wouldn't it
be nicer if we could all go without this crap?

You see, if the registration form said : Under 18s, students and normal people
that are not part of the industry is not accomdated for, then I would be happy.
But, I know in life, everything is rather unfair and that I probably won't get
that. So I won't bother agruing to you, or anyone else. The fact is that I'm
going to lie about it. I won't feel good, and it'll probably play on my
conscience, well, until I do something else worst like giving some
poor girl concussion while playing rugby. So, let us all please not talk about
this crap - cos I've had enough of you Alistar, and all this other "students are
not allowed" rubbish.

Kate
