It’s a Saturday and mock exams are over... Thank god! I'm free... for now. It’s
been a bit of interesting week, really. My maths exam was a lot harder than I
expected and I am pretty sure my teacher saw me mouthing swearwords at my paper
in frustration. I think overall though my mocks went okay which is good. Well,
as well as they could go with the unrelenting magnet of procrastination looming
constantly. The week didn’t particularly get much better from that point. I was
about to go into my last mock exam on Thursday (finally), I was just getting
out of the car and then my phone fell on the floor. That probably would have
been okay but then oh wait. I accidentally stepped
on it too. Wonderful. Needless to say there was quite a big crack on my
phone after that... Not the best thing to happen.
Last night was fun, though. Replacement phone safely stored
in my pocket, I went to see Kingsman at the cinema with my friends. Now, not
many films make me come out at the end like “Wow,
that was so amazing” but this one certainly did. Seriously, go and see it,
it’s great. I swear they’re not paying me to say this (not that anyone reads
this anyway)... But yes, as I said not many films impress me but that one did.
Guardians of the Galaxy made me feel the same way and that is such an awesome
film (did I really just use the word awesome?). Bascially yes. Films.
I’m now sat on my bed picking at the rest of my popcorn from
last night, wishing that most of the remains weren’t the annoying unpopped kernels and those fragments of sugary shells that do nothing but get stuck in
your teeth. It’s kind of representative of my life at the moment... The bits at
the bottom of a popcorn bag that nobody wants... Bit of a strange metaphor I
know.
I found my old Nintendo DS earlier on in the week and it
still had Pokémon Leaf Green in it. I hadn’t played it in months and basically
I ended up playing it non-stop for about 5 hours. On the night before a mock
exam. Priorities! I had nearly
completed it so I kept on going until I did. I love that game... Next,
naturally, I dug out my other Pokémon game that is a lot newer and I must admit
I was disappointed! Now, if any of you play Pokémon, you’re probably familiar
with the traditional Pokémon like Pikachu and Charmander... None of those are
in the new game! Most of the Pokémon are basically cats, dogs, whales, you name
it. I just couldn’t be bothered with it. I’m going back to the Gameboy one...
Now I’m giving myself the week off revision I have decided
to just binge a bit on television. Not that I didn’t do that whilst
procrastinating for my mocks, but now I’m allowed!
Yet, now I have time, loads of television programmes are either finished or
not my sort of thing. For example, Parks and Recreation (I love it so much),
finished forever this week... Great. Maybe if I have the attention span I’ll
start watching the rest of Game of Thrones again, which I haven’t watched for
about three months. I’m going to be so confused.
At the moment I just want to curl up into a ball and ignore
my responsibilities. If only there was a form of hibernation I could go into
and when I emerge everything in my life will be sorted out already for me.
Obviously that’s not going to happen but do you know what I mean? I seem to
constantly be in the mood of wanting to do something
but not wanting to do any of the things I could do. I need a bit of
motivation, I guess. Or a hobby. Maybe a hobby would help me.
It’s funny when I think back to my younger self. I literally
used to be so creative. If something could be made out of cardboard, paper and
sellotape, I made it. My dream job was to be a writer. I used to write books (they were so terrible) and
everything. I remember once when I emailed the author of Horrible Histories,
asking for some advice on how to write good books and I got an email back very
clearly dictating how I could get sent to prison for plagiarism. I was 8. Long story short my teacher had an
argument with him and our school ended up getting £100 of free books. Wow I
need to find that email... I’m not being a writer now, thank goodness, I’m not
sure I would cope. I do envy people with the talent though.
Anyway. I’m going to go and salvage what is left of my
popcorn...
Laura.
