Well She Wants to be the Queen...

The second task in my first exam was to explain what five elements of life in 2010 you would put into a novel or piece of art, and then explain how you would portray them. Well, I wanted to write the novel, because I’m no good at explaining creative process, but I managed to limit myself to a small cast of characters and a relatively simple plot. I don’t know if that’s what they’re expecting, but it is what they asked…

I also hate having politically-based exams because you have to bite your tongue if you want to get the marks, and I need these marks. And then I forgot my calculator in a maths exam, because I was still contemplating the GS5 exam. *headdesk*

Ngh, I’m pretty sure I’ve made a mess of all these exams anyway, I tried to take on too much at once and I’ve burned myself out before I’ve even started. I’m hoping that taking English and History next year will set me back on track, but I’m a little scared that I’ll give up halfway through and never actually achieve anything.

Hay fever is doing its level best to bang me out this week. I can’t concentrate for sniffling, and if it annoys me, I can’t imagine how frustrated everyone around me must be. I swear I never had it this bad before this year.

Also, I have complete writer’s block, and have done for weeks and weeks now. Normally, I can kick start it again when something shiny catches my eye, but that’s just not seeming to happen. I can’t even play with comment_fic!

My TV sounds like it’s speaking to me from underwater… how curious. *pokes at it*
