Or you learn how to play a system. Which is even more valuable.

True. Are you taking a year out before uni?

Nope. I'm really looking forward to going and being able to really work on what I love.
Cool - then the education system is working. I guess it's better than child labour. But more expensive.
It's just with English Literature that I'm this keen. I'd like to continue history too, but I can't really.
You might be able to do a couple of History modules a year - I did a couple of Philosophy and Creative Writing ones. Uni is great.
I was going to do a Joint Honours degree, but decided against it for the sake of my personal statement - and sanity.

I think you might be too late there... 
What gave away my vast craziness?

Say it was the cape. Say it was the cape. Say it was the cape.

You said you liked the cape!

I love the cape. I was just trying to convince you that it's better to keep your superpowers from the public. I'm still hoping you might one day run for Prime Minister without the cape, because it will be an easier victory. Sometimes it's for the best to have two separate identities.
Haha! I'm not running for Prime Minister - let's just leave it as that for the foreseeable future?
It was the cape. Crazy *does crazy sign twirling finger by head*
I knew it! *slaps thigh*
