Sometimes reality is really, really strange.

English student writes story of a dystopian future where a computer algorithm sorts students by class and wins an Orwell prize for it. One year later it becomes a reality and her English grade downgraded.

What happens next still to be seen, appears that with the non-exam exam fiasco that some universities have now made more offers than there are places as those that the algorithm didn't like lost out and some of those places were offered to other students and now that the grades have reverted to teacher assesments some now have the grades to meet the offer they previously had.

i did a extra long walk today , about 3 hours . there was a street march for refugees and i crossed the road before it finished , i got pulled over by a copa , she let me off with a warning for jay walking , naughty boy hahahaha . so i thought why not show off my city where i shop and walk . i would love for you to show vids of where you all live . i`m the luckiest bastard , my place is at Tweed Heads with the beaches as my front yard and the Gold Coast Hinterland as my backyard . in Brisbane at Dad`s place i`m 10 minutes from South Bank . by the way we pronounce it Brisben enjoy

show you where Dad`s place is . when looking at the house facing the city , count about 6 houses down and you`ll see a couple of trees clustered together , we are right in behind the trees . that`s how close we are to the city . as you can see greenery everywhere
