Here in Granada it's about 35, although it feel like 40 degrees.

I'm a year off from graduating with a B Arts and I still don't know what I want to do. A B Arts degree won't get me anywhere, but at least it has given me the opportunity to learn new things and figure out what kind of direction I might like to pursue a job in. I'll most probably go back to uni and study something else. Definitely do some kind of work experience in an area that you think you might want to pursue. I thought I wanted to be a teacher, and last semester I changed my degree to teaching. I absolutely hated it and changed back to an Arts degree, and at least now I know what I don't want to be.

- a small laptop or tablet - summer clothes to wear in Spain - Spanish books - philosophy books - shoes If I didn't stop myself, I would keep buying books all the time! At times I can't justify buying clothes or anything else, but I can always justify buying books.

Hi everyone! I'm Bec :D

I think this is a brilliant idea! I joined this site back in 2008, but I only used to post in the Coldplay section and it wasn't very often. It is a nice way to get to know you all!

Year 10 was a great year for me, as I had went to the same school in a small town for 11 years. There was only about 23 students in the whole year. At the beginning of that year I realised that this would be the last time I would ever have this experience, and I really tried to make the most of it. I had a great bunch of female friends who I would hang out with at lunch, but then I would also hang out with some of the guys who I was in a band with and we would jam in the music room at lunch. The teachers were kind at that school and would have informal conversations with you about music or whatever you were interested in. I mean they weren't our friends, but they made the effort to get to know you. I found year 11 and 12 a different experience. I went to school in a small city and now had to travel each day, which was tiring at first. Everyone already had their own friendship groups, and even the 50 new students in the year all seemed to know a lot of the others. I really felt like an outsider and I tried to make friends and get to know people, but they would just ignore me. The people I did make friends with at the beginning were weird (in a bad way) and annoying. After some time I did find a group of friends who were nice, caring people who I still keep in touch with. Generally the people there were rude, immature and selfish. Overall, I am extremely glad that I am out of high school. I have been in a year 7-12 high school these past couple of weeks doing my first teaching prac, and it has been horrible having to go back into a high school in that same city. I feel like a student again and it makes me realise that I would never ever want to relive my high school years. It is also horrible to see all the bullying that goes on and having to deal with adolescents.I am going to change to primary teaching as I think am more suited to that. I am thankful for the experience because I think you can still get a lot out of a bad one and learn from it. It makes me appreciate being a university student and getting to study subjects that I am interested in and not having to be stuck in a horrible institution where you are told what to do all of the time.

I got twitter a couple of years ago to follow Coldplay, but I don't have any friends who use twitter. I have written a lot of tweets to Coldplay and a lot of pathetic ones to myself. My twitter is @grrbabyverygrr

Thanks for sharing your story:D and that's great news about the next album!!!

Just arrived home from watching it, and WOW was it AMAZING!!! I think I had a huge grin on my face the entire time, while at other times I had tears of happiness as it reminded me how much their music means to me. I am so proud of those guys :heart: By the way, make sure you stay to the very end when all the credits have finished rolling. It made me laugh so hard :D I'm in Coldplay heaven right now and I can't believe I am seeing them this Saturday in Sydney :dance: I hope everyone enjoys watching it at their local theatre today:)

I just finished reading The Street Sweeper by Elliot Perlman.
