NVQ funs.

Finished my NVQ. Well sort of, I've done all they asked me to, there might be a few more bits and pieces to add later. But I've finished most of it now, with about half of it being done in the last three days.

But my god. What a completely ridiculous qualification. An absurd waste of time. Every question is nonsense. I've learned absolutely nothing. Just spent hours and hours doing the most stupid little tasks so that I can tick boxes.

Don't ever do one. Go and read a book or something. Better yet, get a qualification that may one day prove to be of some use to you. That is my advice for the day.

Bonjour! Ca va?

I've just returned from Brussels. Decided to go on a mini adventure after finding some cheapo flights. It was AAACE.

I've spent the week wandering a lovely old city, looking at nice buildings, visiting museums and art galleries, eating waffles and drinking beer. We went to Dr von Hagen's Body World exhibition, which was amazing. Lots of dead people and such, obviously, but so so interesting. Go and see it. Went for lots of nice meals, and although I had to eat bloody steak it was still fun. I don't think I've ever done so much walking in my life. Oh and the hotel was TinTin themed. Beat that.

And I managed to communicate to many french speakers as well. Not so much with the dutch. But the french went okay, considering I havn't thought about it since year 8 of high school.

Anyway, I shall now stop raving like an excited five year old. Did I miss anything?

I've just joined Twitter. What's the big fuss about?
