There not really a lot to say about myself, and I don’t really like doing it, so this will be quite brief.

I live in Edinburgh, UK. That’s not England, as many people seem to believe, but Scotland. Unlike most others, I don’t really care one way or another about England – I’m not opposed to it, I just think that the country should be honoured with its own name, in much the same way as you wouldn’t call Belgium, France, and shouldn’t call Northern Ireland, Ireland.
Education

I don’t have a very high education level, unfortunately. I spent 6 years at Selkirk high School, struggling the whole way through. After school, I spent 3 years at the University of Abertay Dundee – Scotland’s most infamous university. My first year was spent on a Civil Engineering course, which I hated with a passion. After that I swapped to a Computing course. After a further 2 years on this course, I left university, extremely disappointed to have spent so long on a course in which I feel I never learned anything. For once, this wasn’t my fault, as I just couldn’t justify getting myself further into debt to constantly be taught things which I could already do in my sleep.

Overall, I often feel quite screwed by my education. Everyone always goes on about how great university is for you, but this is far from my experience. University, for me, was 3 years of struggling to cope, in the pursuit of a goal which more often than not, doesn’t help you in any way.
