Firstly, this title is awesome song lyrics from Snow Patrol; look up ‘The Lightning Strike’ from their new album, it’s a really long song, but the bit I’m talking about is in the last 6 minutes or so…but listen to all of it, awesome song, awesome lyrics, awesome band!!!
Anyway…
I too have been neglecting this blog, as I have been in exam mode also! Four down, three to go!!! However, I feel the need to blog about my day; it started off badly, but got better, surprisingly enough!
Started off badly; I had my maths and history exams today, and I thought I was well organized, did my maths cheat sheet last night, got up early to make sure I was all sorted, and couldn’t find my history practice essays sheet. I had planned to do one of these history essays during the double period between exams, so I was a bit concerned. I had all my maths out though, and put it in a folder and left my cheat sheet out of the folder so it could go on top and be easy to find. Good plan.
So when I couldn’t find this history sheet I went into a stress attack looking for it, and put another folder which had my history sheet in it on top, which I found, and then I left the house. So I was in the car with mum, and I wasn’t 100% sure I had my sheet, checked the folder and realized I’d left it underneath that folder! So Mum had to take me home to get it, and we lost about 20 minutes of our morning. She was not impressed! So, then, with all the stress of the morning, and about exams and other things in general, I had a meltdown in the car, and ended up in tears. Snow Patrol (see above) and holding my yin necklace, Ari’s parting gift before she went on Trek (she has the yang half) calmed me down a lot, and though I don’t think I did brilliantly on my exam, it was better than the last one!
Then after buying chocolate from the tuckshop (which also made me feel better), I went to the library to study with friends…didn’t really study that much though! Then I saw a friend of mine in year 12 who was studying at school, so I was talking to her for ages, and then we went and had lunch, and another year 12 friend joined us. So I actually enjoyed my lunchtime instead of studying, and then I had my history exam, which I think went okay, I had started preparing for an essay topic, which though worded slightly differently was on the exam.
As soon as I got home, I discovered a letter from Ari in the mail! I was so excited!!!! Like literally grinning for about five minutes before I even opened it, and going 'omg, yay!!!' repeatedly. I couldn’t wait to read it! She made me laugh before I even opened it, with the back reading ‘From: The middle of fricken nowhere! (and loving it)’ so I knew straight away all was well. Her letter made me laugh and cry at the same time, but it felt great to hear from her! It was the perfect time to hear from her given the morning I’d had. Bit freaky really, I was thinking this morning as I was walking into school ‘I wish Ari was here to give me a hug right now!’ but after hearing her whole group had gone without deodorant for 5 days, maybe I’m happy she wasn’t!...only joking!
She’s having a brilliant time by the way, it was pouring with rain when she wrote it, and apart from sore feet, bruised shoulders and a few blisters, she’s fine!
So anyway, sometimes its’ just amazing how a bad morning can turn into a pretty decent day, if you’re willing to let it!
