All I have to say is that while I write this, Wizard of Oz is on the Telebox. That's all I have to say on the matter.
My avid readers may be aware that I've actually been blogging for almost two years now, and as I've mentioned on numerous occasions, exams are the main topic of my posts. I am sorry for such a mundane topic to be the focus of my writings, but my life simply isn't entertaining or action packed enough in order to fulfil your high expectations. Sadly though, I have three topics to wet your appetites today, one of which is the dreaded exams.
June 24th was the day I finished my exams, with the incredibly long French exam. And, in all fairness, it could've been a hell of a lot worse. Everyone in my class hated it, whereas I liked it. As a result, I'm insanely worried about what result I'll get when it comes to August 19th. My results have already been decided, whether I get into University or not has already been decided. Scariest thought I've ever had. Nothing I can do about it now though. I'm scared, readers. I'm scared. History, again, could've been much worse, and though the Britain paper was far nicer for me than the Germany paper, I don't think I did disastrously in either of them. I've already bored you with the Drama details in a previous blog, so I won't repeat myself.
The second of my topics, which leads nicely to the third, is the Summer Holidays. When I'd finished my exams, there was a slight lull while we waited for everyone to finish their exams, but as soon as it finished, I was expecting the flood gates to open leading to day after day after day of endless enjoyment - turns out it's not quite like that. Summer is simply a day of fun, and then maybe two or three days of sheer boredom. That's the honest truth, nothing happens! Which is rather frustrating, but it's what I can expect, living off scraps of money seen as finding a job is basically impossible these days. However, soon enough, Rhys Taylor, Ffion Rees, Ellen Morgan, Sarah West, Ieuan Matthews and I are buggering off to Spain for a week, which should be pretty epic.
Finally, due to my continuous imprisonment within the barren walls of my house, I have bounds of free time. I've tried to pass the time by playing on my Xbox, watching some television, watching the odd movie, but to no avail. Especially on school days, my boredom begins from around 2pm, and considering I arise from the land of nod at around 1pm, that really isn't brilliant. So, having become insanely excited having watched the latest Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer (I'll post you a link at the end as it's totally brilliant. Anyone who hasn't seen it doesn't deserve an existence, in all honesty), I've decided to read Deathly Hallows once again. And I never realised how exceptionally well written the book is before. I know the book inside out, but now that I'm taking my time to read every paragraph in great detail, JK Rowling knows how to use a pen. So many things she says are essential to understanding the ending - SPOILER ALERT - for instance, just before "The Wedding", Harry and Ginny have a moment where they kiss even after Harry had finished their relationship at the end of Half-Blood Prince. Soon after, Ron starts shouting at Harry for "messing her about", which means Harry says something along the lines of "Look, it's not as if she wants us to get married or something!" Originally, I saw that as a simple passing comment, but now, you can see how much time and effort JKR put into writing this wondrous series of books. High appraisal to you, Joanne. Also, according to her Twitter, she hasn't updated it in a while as "pen and paper is [her] priority at the moment." Meaning, another Harry Potter epic? Or the rumoured children's series she's working on? I'm hoping the former, as she's now one of the great writers of my generation, I need another new book series to start reading from scratch.
Reading is such an important part of my life. I can't believe I went through a period of literally months without reading anything. What spurred me to do that? I have Deathly Hallows to read at the moment, and then I have a thriller to read called "The Charlemagne Pursuit", which sounds half decent. By the time I finish that, the seventh Artemis Fowl book should be out! Happy days.
God, I love reading.
Oh, I almost forgot, here's the Harry Potter trailer I'm obsessed with!
