Mush and sugar.

So I'm currently sitting at one of the many computers in my university library, feeling like my brain has turned to mush after a mere 3 hours of revision. How am I going to cope with learning an entire semester's worth of information in 7 days if I am mentally saturated after 3 hours?! I actually can't fail this exam because I've not been particularly organised with my assignments and failed 2 of them (one due to not doing it, another due to both doing a generally poor job and also not giving it in until several days after the deadline), so I'm slightly worried...

I'm not feeling in the right mood to try and verbally dramatise my decidedly undramatic life. I want it to be a month from now, when I'll be honeymooning it up with Chris in Paris. Is it bad that right now I'm looking forward to the post-wedding holiday more than I'm looking forward to the wedding itself? The idea of spending six days exploring a new city and lounging in a 3-star hotel room is looking more appealing than ever before (and before, it still looked pretty darn appealing).

With the stress of exams comes the almost irrepressible craving for sugary snacks and lots of them, but the mental vision of not being able to fit into my size 6 wedding dress in a month is, for the most part, holding me back: rice cakes (and I use the term 'cake' loosely here - I don't think I've ever eaten anything less cake-like in my life) have become the food of the season, and my sweet tooth will have to lump it. Either that, or tempt me into eating a kinder bueno and a packet of wotsits anyway, as it did earlier today. Crap.

Some of you guys haven't written for two of the three weeks (is it three? I think so...) that this whole blogging thing has been happening. I understand the concept of a busy life, and of forgetting about things (particularly the latter), but this whole blog thing is going to be pretty shit if we only write one third of the time. I mean, it's only once a week as it is. If you don't want to continue with this, whether due to lack of time or lack of enthusiasm or both, then that's fine, seriously, but let us know? Sorry for the bluntness, but like I said - brain, revision, mush.

  1. I feel your pain. Exam times are horrible. The niggling need to eat snacks while revising was too strong for me, but I'm impressed you're managing to keep them away.

    Good luck! Hope they go well.

  2. Studying (cramming) is always painful. Almost like playing a game of chicken with an elephant: the resulting aches almost don't seem worth it.

    I hope it goes well, and I'm excited for your soon to be honeymoon in Paris.
