Perennial exhaustion

It’s that time of year again, I have finally reached the first holiday of the academic year – and not a moment too soon.

This year so far has left me with very little time to contemplate what’s happening. Since september I’ve organised my exams for the next year, abridged and directed a version of A Midsummer Night’s dream, applied to (two so far) university and just about managed to keep up to date with 4 A2 syllabuses. The past 8 weeks have left me longing for sleep, free-time and a clear schedule. Alas, you can’t always get what you want!

So during my free week I have to take my LNAT, the admissions test for Law which all of the top universities in the country demand. I also have to continue reading up for my interviews (if I’m offered any.) I’ve taken quite a liking to nervous shock in negligence and have been reading around it quite a lot recently. If you ever feel like being harrowed then read through the cases of Alcock, Copoc and Wright v Chief Constable of South Yorkshire Police, the cases arising from nervous shock, caused by those whoes relatives were killed in the Hillsborough disaster.

On a shallower note, I’ve really slipped out of the circle of currentness of late. I only found out, for example, that Snow Patrol and Kaiser Chiefs have new albums today – a BILLION years after they came out. The Kaiser Chiefs album is ok, but I prefer the last one, having seen them perform most of it live. And Snow Patrol’s new album is really growing on me, much more calm and collected than the previous.

Oh, less I forget the largest development since my last post – I am now 18. I am now, by rights, an adult. I can vote, though there’s another issue entirely, and can do pretty much anything I so wish. Scary hey!? This time next year I shall be at university, totally(ish) independent. That both excites, and scares the living poo out of me!

Ok, so there was a brief update of sorts. Hopefully I can get back to writing over the next week, I have missed it massively of late.
