Just gonna try writing this post continuously for 10 minutes and see what I come up with and just draw the line after time's up.
So we've just broken up for study leave yesterday, first day off today. GCSEs start in 5 days now, everything's finally coming together after all the time spent revising, and not Facebooking or texting or going out with friends, but instead vocab chanting and essay writing. Everything has almost all come together.
It's all a little surreal to be honest, this last year of my life seems to be never ending. The eternal final chapter of the novel of my school career, the ever-dawning glorious summer, just 49 days away now. And only 32 exams in between, it's really weird to think; the last 5 years I've learnt all this rubbish, which I'm never ever going to use in my life. And after taking an exam, I can just forget about them and move on. As if the last 5 years had been a complete waste of time.
Obviously I've learnt some useful things, like inderpedence, responsibility, maturity. But I'm not convinced these things came from an education, more likely just from aging.
Anyway that's all I have for these 10 minutes, I've been finding it hard to post anything while juggling revision. So I just decided to sit down and write something!
Thanks for reading
