Had a day off today.

Yes, yes, I did.
No work!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to write a long, rambly blog-post today about Glee, and various deep issues :P

I really like Glee. I know this might be a bit sad, as it's basically choir love, but I was in Show Choir at my school for like, three years, so I sort of recognize the stereotypes, and as well as that, I'm listening to a medley of cartoon theme tunes at the moment, so I really can't talk about sad. I'm a nerd, live with it. I do.
But I really think Glee is excellent. Musically, it's great. Plot-wise, it's like a soap. Character-wise, they're easy to relate to.
And it really deals with big issues, in a fun, accessible way.
I mean, what other TV show makes the issues of teen pregnancy, alcohol, homophobia so easy to handle and deal with without being too preachy about it, whilst letting you have a little groove. None. I <3 it. I am a Gleek. :P
Love, love

LETS PLAY A GAME :D

Nicked from Hayleyghoover--it's "My Zombie Apocalypse Soundtrack!" According to the rules, I have to put my iPod on shuffle to determine my fate.

Elgar-Variations on an Original Theme (it's quite thrilling, so maybe...)

2. The song that plays when I kill my first zombie:
.The Cave, by Mumford and Sons (kind of appropriate I guess...)

3. The song that plays while I'm being chased by a horde:
Roadrunner (Johnathon Richman and the Modern Lovers)- Actually really good :p

4. When I kill my loved one:
Do you like me?, by ALL CAPS (yeah, lol)

5. When I find a group of survivors:
Meet you there, by Busted

6. When I meet my new love interest:
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise), by the Beatles

7. When I make my final stand:
What kind of name is Hermione? by The Parslemouths (Maybe the zombies are called Hermione?)

8. When I think I've survived it all:
Slumber Song, Glenn Miller (Guess I wanted a nap)

9. When I discover a bite mark on me:
I can see for miles, by The Who

10. The song during the end credits:
Nerdy, by Busted.

Yeah, I wanna see that film :P

So tired.....so, so tired...

So, I got a text last night from The Boy, who was on his holidays, saying that he would be landing back in our country at around 1 am today.
I set my alarm for 1, so I could respond to any joyful "I am return" text, or reply to the welcoming text I had previously sent.
There was no need for that to have happened.
Then I couldn't go back to sleep.

But where are the sources?????

(a) Use Sources A and B and your own knowledge.
Explain how far the views in Source A differ from the views in Source B on the impact of collectivisation. (12 marks)

(a) Sources A and B differ significantly in their views towards the impact of collectivisation, agreeing on virtually nothing.

Source A is overwhelmingly positive, which is to be expected given that it came from a Soviet school textbook. Even after the death of Stalin, Soviet historians tended to emphasise the benefits of his policies during the collectivisation and industrialisation years. It was also written with the benefit of hindsight, in 1976. By this date, the emotional trauma caused by collectivisation had subsided somewhat and people were able to see the role that collectivisation had subsided somewhat and people were able to see the role that collectivisation had in changing the USSR from an agrarian society to an industrial one.

However, Source B was written in the years 1930-31, when the USSR was in the midst of the turmoil surrounding the attempts to set up the collective farming system. This is bound to harm the author’s view of the attempts to implement the collective and, therefore, make Source B inherently negative. Also, it was written by Victor Serge, who had been expelled from the party, and so may have had the urge to discredit the Communists’ policy, through jealousy.

Sources A and B primarily differ in their views on how collectivisation affected the peasants. Source A says that collectivisation’s presence benefited the peasants, saying that under it “The life of the peasants became richer and fuller”, whereas Source B implies that it made them poorer, and therefore worse-off, saying that “it was a new serfdom”, with the implied bad consequences for them. He also says that the collective gave the peasants “no incentive to work”, which is in contrast with Source A, which implies that the peasants actually became more enthusiastic to work than they already were, as it was “much easier to work” with all the new technology.

Source A mentions education for peasants, saying, “The collective farms did away with illiteracy” which Source B does not do, perhaps because it was a benefit of collectivisation.

Interestingly, neither of the sources mentions industrialisation, which was a main factor in the process of and inspiration behind collectivisation.

In conclusion, the views in Source A and Source B differ significantly, with minimal agreement, only really agreeing on things that they both left out.

AND YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT THE SOURCES ARE
mwahahahahahaha!!!!!

Politics YAY

a) Explain the term the judiciary

The judiciary is the legal arm of the British governmental system. They enforce the laws that parliament makes and operate the justice system in the UK. In a liberal democracy, which is what Britain has, the judiciary should be independent of the politicians, and this means separate. This is why two of the most important concepts in the British judiciary are judicial independence and judicial neutrality. Judicial neutrality refers to the way that judges think and act while performing their duties in court. It’s about whether judges can be unbiased while doing their jobs. This is closely linked with judicial independence, which is the theory that the judiciary should be totally independent of the government.

YAY
See my sneaky work/blog there. Hah.

On my holidays

I know it's been a while, guys. I'm sorry. Work and so on.
I am going to tell you why I like walking today, not moan. :) I like walking in the way babies like milk. Not because its fantastic, but because they need it to be happy. I cant imagine a life without walking. Maybe its because I have been brought up on it (buying my first pair of walking boots resulted in more celebration than any birthday) or maybe I just like the solitude. I dunno. I like it.
Love you
