Exams are over.
No more college.
Now what do I do?
Grow up?
Fuck that.

Exam-time.
I remember telling myself a week ago that I would really revise for this media exam. Now my exam is tomorrow and I don’t think i’ve revised at all. Is it just me or does everyone do that? Plan well in advance, so that they don’t have to worry about it and then spend the day before the exam telling themselves that they’re going to fail.
Then there is the unnecessary panic that results from not revising in time. Some sort of chemical in our brain manages to persuade us that we don’t know anything about the subject, and are doomed to fail. When, really we’ve been studying the question for the entire duration of the course and wouldn’t be able to fail if we tried.
I was determined to wake up at 9am today so that I had the entire day to revise. I didn’t wake up till 12, though and I still haven’t started the revision. I tell myself that the exam isn’t till 2pm on Monday but I really shouldn’t be kidding myself like that. Then the excuses such as “I need to get something to eat first” Or “I should really tidy my room” seem to follow and prevent me from starting the revision.
I dread the day of the exam but also what happens after it. I have nothing to do once the exams are over. I don’t have enough wage to be able to do anything, as I only work one day a week and the prospect of sitting at home watching film after film for four months is enough to drive one to charity work.
They say that money isn’t the key to happiness but I think it helps quite a lot, actually.
