4. Exams, Or The End Of Your Social Life For The Forseeable Future.

I have been neglecting this blog, I think that's pretty clear. I had originally aimed to do posts at least once a week, but that seems to have gone out the window faster than cigarette ash at a party. Oh dear.

So the past month or two have been consumed with procrastination, final assignments, procrastination, revision, procrastination, exams and more procrastination. You might have gotten from that that I'm a wee bit of a procratinator, which let me tell you does not really work in my favour. I mean, it does up to a point, but then I realise that if I don't cut myself off from the rest of the world and really get my head down then I am, in a very simple word, fucked. The process of me doing any revision/assignments/miscellaneous uni work goes a bit like this:

1 month til due date: Plenty time, nothing to worry about, oh look vodka!
3 weeks to go: Oh yeah, I've got some work to do. Hmm, I'll maybe take a look at it tomorrow.
2 weeks and counting: Right, what tv shows have I never watched from the pilot right up to the most recent episode? 
1 week left: Hey, this show is seriously good, I cannot believe it got cancelled! Oh yeah, there's work to do...
5 days: Well I suppose I'd better at least look at it...
4 days: What was that song? I must learn to play it on guitar this minute!
2 days: My room is a tip. Better get the rubber gloves out, this is going to be a deep clean.
1 day til game over: Ah, ProPlus, we meet again. It's going to be a long night dear friend.

I've started to think recently that maybe I should try and get a better handle on how I spend my time. I mean, I've never failed an exam yet (touch wood) and I often produce some of my best work under pressure, but maybe being prepared isn't such a bad thing? What would I know, I was a terrible Girl Guide. It might work wonders for my stress levels though if I didn't have to worry about things like that, not to mention how I could benefit from a reduced caffeine intake. Who are we kidding though, I'm probably not going to change any time soon. I have one exam left before my summer begins, and I might spend that time sorting my life out. Or I might just be getting a good tan. Who knows!


Current mood: a bit more tightly wound than usual, I won't lie. Not quite at breaking point yet though.
Current nail colour: Clear
Alcoholic beverages consumed this week: NONE. Can't wait til Saturday night when exams are over. By Sunday morning I won't know my own name!
