Okay, as some of you know, I've been on leave for a whiel to complete an extended project for my school. It's a new qualification which just came in last year, it's by the exam board AQA and is called "extended project qualification". After going to the initial meeting, doing a godload of research and choosing my title, I was told that I would be allocated a supervisor. After 5 weeks, nothing happened, I then saw the co-ordiantor today and he didn't really know what was going on. Besides that I need to fill in around 14+ pages of administrative stuff before I can actually get down to work.
On consideration, I thought that I would give up this attempt and return to allempires.com to just write articles for my extra-curricular activities instead of trying these qualifications which are obviously organised in a sloppy manner and are overly buerocratic. Frankly, if I want to write an article about Athenian imperialism I can do it on here and go without the excessive amount of paperwork and buerocracy. Has anyone else experienced problems like this at high-school level? It's so dissapointing to think that this is what it takes to write one interesting paper at high-school level.
Good to be back!

P.S. Expect to see a new article "Athenian political image in Euripides' "Medea"" coming soon!
