A New Kind of Procrastination

I am currently sitting in my room wearing a cowboy hat and rainbow sunglasses. This is how I defy revision.

10 Down, 3 to Go

Near the end now. I sat down for my economics exam today. I was told I had 5 minutes reading time and I froze up.

I sat and stared at the page taking nothing in and just got dizzier and dizzier. My head was swimming, the room was spinning. I thought I was going to pass out which would have been less than helpful. Eventually I got going and had so much to say I almost didn't finish. Not bad actually.

9 Down, 4 To Go

Thankfully the final bio paper went just a little better than the other 2. So much so that I finished the whole thing in half the given time and made a fortune teller out of a tissue. You know, for funsies.

When I got back I had lunch and after a short while went roller blading. Just as I was finishing up a beast of a bug flew into my eye and I was skating blind. It was different and not in a way that I would recommend it.

So I've got 3 hours of economics left over 2 days and 3 hours of Danish rammed into one afternoon. By Friday 4.40pm I will be free once again.

8 Down, 5 to Go

Biology was... Oh dear.

There was a question around the anal ejection of water by moths. Yes really.
There was a question about the movement through a cell membrane. I responded that it would be wet and fluid.
There was a question about the bonding of water. I responded that it did it over coffee and over time gained the trust of other molecules.

Not looking too good for passing that one to be honest.

Economics Textbook? Engulfed.

Over this weekend I finished up reading my biology textbook, I worked a 9 hour shift, I babysat and I read my entire economics textbook. Never before have I wanted to chill out with a couple of twisters and a romcom more. I deserve a relaxed evening. I worked for it.

6 down, 7 to go

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty sure I aced the English lit paper. I'm impressed with myself because I did not read any of the books. Who says you gotta work hard to reap the benefits*?

Had the German paper today which I did not think went as badly as it could have done. I might actually have passed which would be nice. I spent the morning in bed and then once I'd dragged myself up I watched TV and once I got to school I took the piss out of Sara. That is something that I seem to be doing rather a lot of recently.

So rollerblading and eating whipped cream straight out the bowl that I whipped it in aside, I've got some revision, but mostly I had lie-ins and started (albeit a little prematurely) to enjoy my freedom. Also sorted a birthday gift for the Younger Sibling. The Older Sibling was meant to do it seeing as I was a little busy with exams and all, but somehow she managed to spend the £20 I gave her for the gift on sweets. Exactly how one goes about spending £20 on sweets and eating the evidence in under 2 hours I don't know, but she managed very well.

I think this evening will consist of racing through the last chapter of the biology book and then watching An Education (I've been craving it for weeks) and writing a little more erotica. Maybe I'll even post some. Note that maybe and watch this space.

*I did work hard in other ways, just not reading the books and I take no responsibility if you take an English lit course and don't read the texts and then fail. If you pass, I take full responsibility.

Verdict: Guilty

My completely non-judgemental family just judged me. It caught me by surprise.

Apparantly buying half a pint of cream and whipping it just for snacking is not normal behaviour.

Who knew?

3 down, 10 to go

On Wednesday I had a maths paper. I've never had a paper that tough before and I royally ballsed it up. I really thought I'd fucked up my chances of passing maths. It was a tough night that followed. I went into school the next day do paper 2 and I looked truly awful. Did not want to be there. I went in. I could it. Almost all of it. It was such a relief that I might be able to salvage my grade after all.

Exams aside I've been creating a wish list on Amazon using their universal wish list button which is just a gift from God. I am so pleased with it. I've also sorted out more student finance stuff and I went rollerblading. I dug my old in-liners out and went over to a decent bit of tarmac. I just went up and down getting the hang of it again. It's been like 6 or 7 years since I was out on them last which just goes to prove that my feet haven't grown since I was like 11. That's a little odd, seeing as I've grown like 20cm upwardsly. I don't care that it's not a word.

Final note, my excuse of the day (from my epic excuses calender) was "I locked myself out of the house." The calender deemed this excuse valid as an excuse for being unfaithful. At first glance, I laughed, but then as I was procrastinating, I realised it might not be so stupid after all.

"You slept with other people!?"
"No, but I had to, you see. I got locked out, and she let me stay in her flat. She only has a bed, and I had to say thank you somehow. You know how I'm all about giving back to people. It's just who I am, if you can't accept that I'm a generous kind of person, maybe we shouldn't be together? I don't see why you wouldn't be able to handle being with someone charitable, but maybe you have issues."

(15 days to go - I've been counting the days for 100 days now)

1 Down, 12 to Go

English seemed to go well, paper one maths tomorrow.

18 days left.

May

This is the month that will drain me so completely and utterly that all which will be left, will be a skeleton of frustration, anger and sleepless nights. If I wasn't so dead-set on living, this month would kill me.
