Hopefully this week i will learn proportionally more Spanish than i did last week. i know it was only the first week but i felt stupid after listening to some off the others in the class who were way ahead of me.
In maths i hope to finish the second outcome as i finished the first outcome in class last week. my aim is to get the first 4 outcomes finished by the end of september leaving just the 5th outcome which we need to speak to the tutor about.

"there must be a better song to sing"
" There must be a better song to sing " is a quote by Rita from the film EDUCATING RITA. What Rita is trying to say is, there must be something better she can do with her life. She is in the situation where she is not expected to try better herself and live the same humdrum life like everyone else around her. In fact most people around her are telling her to forget about it. At the start Rita is well out of her depth and you think she is not going to last but she sticks at it and starts to really enjoy it. Her husband, who is dead set against her bettering herself, gives her an ultimatum its either him or her education. She loves her husband and gives up her studying, for a whole five minutes, until she realises she really wants to continue educating herself. after her husband burns all her books she finally leaves him, and starts a new life away from her humdrum past.
While Rita is educating herself and trying to better her life she, at the same time, losses the charm and innocence that she had that. These traits are what Michael Caine's character liked in her and he tried to warn her not to lose them.
This quote doesn't apply to me directly but i do know more than one person that it does. A few of my friends are from a background where their family and friends are happy to just leave school and get a job on a building site or in a factory, and the same was expected off them. after a few years of working in a various jobs they decided there must be something better in life, " there must be a better song to sign ", so they decided to go to college and get an education.
One of them is now an assistant manager at my local bank and another is in their last year at uni doing business management.
