It's been a while!

I'd like to open with a quick refresher, as it could be seen to be. I don't write this blog specifically so people can read it, and I don't aim for high ratings or lots of subscribers. It's more a good way to get interesting things written/typed out so I can find them again. A public online memory box, as it were.


So, let me tell you about recent events, there's been a great deal of development (if that's what you can call it). I would go into the cliche'd "I met a guy and he's great" thing, but in truth it's been three months now and we're pretty much together 80% of the time. He's lovely. He's Irish (NOT a selling point but an interesting fact nonetheless!). He's tall and blonde and we go to the same college. We were friends for a year first, which is a really excellent way of getting to know someone and their likes and dislikes... We like all the opposite things, pretty much. It makes everything more interesting (obviously there are some similarities otherwise we'd be at odds all the time and it'd suck).


Well, what can I tell you? His name is Patrick. He's most excellent. I really dislike being sentimental on the blog, but I'm in love with him and he more than deserves a mention, even though I've been hiding him away to myself for a while. I taught him to cycle. It's odd to think such a clever guy (mathematical genius) wouldn't be able to grasp that skill that I find so essential. Anyway, it means he steals my bike on a regular basis (the bike he broke, poor thing. He fell off it and the brake actually snapped).

Exams coming up soon, I have one on June 13th and two on June 15th, which means I'll be very busy doing worky things from now on. Unsurprisingly, this year is more stressful than the last, because quite frankly this decides whether I can continue the rest of my life in the way that I want to or not (ideally university as of September, but conditional offers mean that I have to get certain grades). I need an A and two Bs. Not particularly difficult IF I get my head down and do the damn work. Thankfully all my courses are pretty interesting, so I shouldn't have a problem actually doing work.


Of course, exhaustion is the one thing that gets in the way of studying more than anything else. Or rather, a bad exam day. That day on the 15th? I have FIVE HOURS of examinations. And I am to be escorted everywhere by a supervisor between those two exams, which have a two hour break. The first exam is German, which is three hours long. THREE HOURS!


If I'm still alive afterwards, I'll tell you of my next plans.


Happy Reading, folks!
