Gah

Buying pens/paper/folders in Tesco in a desperate bid to kick-start some proactivity:

Checkout Man: "Is this so you can do your homework?"
Me: "Hmm yes something like that"
Checkout Man: "What year are you in at school? You revising for exams coming up soon?"
Me: "It's for uni"
Checkout Man: "Oh! I see, planning ahead for September are we?!"
Me: "Um, no, I'm in 3rd year"
Checkout Man: "Oh..."

Sigh.
