Time

This academic year has gone by like it is on fast forward. I've almost finished my penultimate year of school. I remember in my first year thinking, "Ugh! 6 more years, you've got to be kidding me...". Now suddenly it's all gone. Just like that. 

As I have already complained about it my earlier post, exams are coming up. As well as every exam, these are crucial. These are going to get me in to university. If I get good enough grades. I am on "holiday" at the moment for Easter but it's more like a study period more than anything else.

Time has just got to s-l-o-w d-o-w-n. I've been told by my elders that time goes faster as you grow older. It seriously can't...! I mean, COME ON! It's crazy.

Ironically, this time last year, I was more focussed on my exams. I did really well and got the results I wanted. This year is a different story. I am in a serious relationship which has turned into my main priority. It has been a constant battle all year to make school work my first priority. I've always let my heart rule over my head but I've had to have a realistic and reasonable perspective on my life now and what the consequences are.

The difficulty is, I don't get to see my boyfriend much because of the awkwardness of where I live and I don't have a mobile phone signal so I miss him very much. We are in love with each other so you can imagine the difficulty of not seeing each other as much as we would like to. However, I am getting my provisional driving licence in a couple of weeks and by the time I am driving, my exams will have finished! (WOOHOO!)

The scary thing is, the time it has taken for this year at school to pass has gone in a flash. My exams will be over in 2 months. That flash isn't going to be seen because it's going to go faster than the speed of light. I don't want it to be that fast because the courses I have been doing have been so rushed and so much is crammed in to barely a year. I feel so unprepared for these exams. The saying, "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail" keeps running through my mind. Thing is, I have done a lot of work for these exams and throughout the entire school year.

I have one thing to say...I can not wait until the summer holidays (and it better be a good one with a set of good results!!!)
