Belated Update from Christmas Day 2015

I am, as of the 8th of December this year, no longer a student studying in secondary school, unless, of course, form 6 counts. In which case, this post would be horribly inaccurate.

I applied for a part-time job, but have not received an answer yet. Hopefully I get the job, for I need something to do, and to earn some money for myself so I do not burden my parents in the exponentially dropping economy.

As I have plenty of time otherwise, I've been catching up on various media (anime, manga and such) that I have been putting on hold in favour of revising for my exams.

From there, I watched bits and pieces of the latest 2015 Cinderella movie (deleted scenes are on YouTube) and noticed something odd. I thought I recognised the actress playing Cinderella's stepmother, but apparently it is the hairstyle and makeup that I recognise.



In the above screenshots from YouTube videos I do NOT own, it appears that the hairstyles and make-up designs are quite similar. Taylor Swift as a rich woman (I'm guessing probable widow) and Cate Blanchett (also voice-acted as Hiccup's mother, Valka from HTTYD 2) as Ella's stepmother, both acting out crazed smiles here.
I kept wondering, why the heck do I feel as if I've seen Ella's stepmother before, then it hit me, the crazy lady Taylor played in one of her music videos. Kind of fitting, actually. XD

On another note, I have begun Driver's Ed. Gods of Olympus, I need to rant about the theory class instructor. I attended a class one Saturday. Having to work on a Saturday, I get it, it's not fun, but that is no reason to need to find fun by picking on your students. And if you're naturally a mean teacher, pick on all your students equally, don't just focus on the one girl sitting up front because she wants to get the class over and done with without missing anything. By choice, had she known what you were like, she probably wouldn't have even attended the class, but that has become mandatory as decided by the Federal Government. You continually make fun of the general attitude of national drivers, yet missed the fact that you yourself practise these bad habits yourself, and therefore are not qualified to be on the other side of the teacher's desk. Even bad driver innuendo you make, you must stare and focus your gaze on the poor girl who's tired of your attitude before the course is even half done. She answers the questions you pose with as much accuracy as she can manage. You make fun of her answers, twist and turn her answers so she's no longer confident in herself even though she had less than enough confidence to begin with. She fears getting behind the wheel, yet you claim it is as easy as ABC and joke about it, even. Now she can't stand the thought of getting you as an instructor for her practical classes when she passes the theory. Other students also answer the questions, yet no attention is given beyond their answers. Instead, you keep picking on that poor little girl sitting at the corner of the front with a notebook for taking notes in her hand, making a 'fool' our of her 'full'.

Nope, still don't feel fine or sated. But that'll have to do for now.
