Does anybody else feel time is moving especially quickly at
the moment? I mean yes, time is a concept created by humans (ooh philosophical)
and clocks move at the same rate but oh my god where is time going?
I think the times it hits me most is when I’m on Twitter and
something that feels like last month is referred to saying “Three years ago
today!". It just blows my mind, honestly. I think having ‘Timehop’ would make it
worse for me, I think (I have too many tweets to do it apparently – oops).
Whenever I have these moments it just feels like “Oh my god we’re all dying”.
It’s pretty scary really, especially when they say time goes faster the older
you get. Can it slow down a bit please? I do want to savour this pre-exam,
pre-university, pre-becoming-an-adult-with-a-life
period of my life.
Speaking of becoming an adult with a life, I’m trying to be
a bit more proactive with that at the moment. I have started looking at
university courses, for example. Even though the prospect of university kind of
scares me right now I think it might be the best path for me, and I think I’m
going to do History! I’m also looking at maths too but I seriously have no idea
why – I think I may end up crying and smashing my head into a wall repeatedly
after two weeks if I do that... Maybe.
I have also signed up to the student magazine that should be
starting up soon. I have volunteered to help them out with anything they need;
and yes that includes writing articles on things. I’m not sure what I would be
asked to write about but I feel if I was allowed to have a piece it would be
along the lines of ‘Weekly rants with
Laura’. I suppose I’m trying to expand a little bit with my experience as
it’s so hard to get it properly. But yes, I’m trying that.
At least I am already very certain about what subject I want
to drop next year for A-Levels (unless I fail maths or something...). At the
start of the year I was pretty certain I was going to drop Psychology because I
would physically have to stop myself falling asleep occasionally and looking at
the clock every five seconds (a watched clock never changes... Can that be
applied here?), but now it’s actually getting pretty interesting, honestly. We’ve
started to study social influence and we started by guessing how many
20-year-old jellybeans were in a jar (we were warned not to eat any – that would
be a bit of a strange form for my teacher to fill in). We were asked for our
guesses twice to see whether we would change our answers depending on everyone
else’s answer. The only thing was she actually didn’t know how many were in
there. Not that we needed to know for the experiment, but our table volunteered
to count them as we just needed to
know (324 if you were interested). But yes, I want to drop English language, I’ve
decided. I know some people may find it really interesting but I just don’t.
Careers... Still not certain. I want to get into TV but I
haven’t really got any idea how to get there exactly... Yet. In the words of
Chris Traeger, I am 100% certain that I am 0% sure of what I want to do. Well
maybe 20%... Possibly. Let’s see. I’m going to look at some universities this
year so hopefully I’ll find something that’s right for me. In a way I’m sort of
glad I’m having this existential crisis now instead of in a year's time.
I am currently trying to sit on my bed with my laptop in a
position that doesn’t make my radio descend into a wave of static... There was
actually some really great music on but now I have finally managed to settle
into a position that doesn’t anger my radio, the music just got pretty bad. How
ironic. Maybe it's a sign I should really get back to revision now...
