philphie - don't really know how to word my thoughts in response to reading your RS, but it really did relate to my personal experience writing my major work. Every single moment my teacher put a pencil mark and wrote 'irrelevant' (or at times, even more infuriating, the single '?') was maddening. What was I writing 8000 words for? To write something that would please the extremely, extremely conservative English teacher in front of me.
So, writing about a subject I absolutely loved turned into a piece of work I ended up hating.
At the beginning of this year, I was going to take a Gap Year in South Africa. A few people said its a waste of my time, my parents said I'm too young, so next year I'll be going into a course that I might hate and have to stick with for a year before I can transfer.
What a bitch reality is.
