TGIF

Diary Entry: 2

Thank Goodness It's Friday. Never has 4 words applied so much to my current situation. Right now, I'm sitting in my living room, in my pajamas, with a plate of flapjacks next to me, and I'm very happy about this fact. I went back to school on Tuesday, and to put it bluntly, I am absolutely shattered. In 4 days, the words 'Leaving Cert,' 'exams,' 'university,' 'CAO/UCAS' and 'What are you going to do with your life?' have been mentioned FAR too many times in my opinion. I have my Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings filled with extra Maths, Irish  and English, I have booked myself in for Maths grinds every Sunday, and still have French grinds to book. I have a History test next Friday and Business and Economics tests being threatened for next week or the week after. On top of all that, my body has not yet gotten used to the whole '7:30 start' in the morning concept, so I am sleep deprived as well. I am also in a self pitying mood, but I'd say that could have been guessed in the first line of this post. To say I'm slightly overwhelmed would be the understatement of the century. So the fact that it is the weekend and I have two days free from all the above words being said in my ear every second is making me want to lap the house in happiness (I would, but my sofa is very comfortable and the above action would require far more energy and effort than I am willing to give).

In other news, I am going to the Queens University Open Day in Belfast next Thursday, and I think a lot of the other UK universities will be there too, so I'm very much looking forward to visiting the campus and seeing what Queens has to offer!

I also had a list of blog post ideas stored in the 'Notes' section of my phone, which I accidentally deleted earlier today. There could be a severe lack of blog posts in the future if I don't figure out a way to recover the notes soon, so I'm crossing my fingers my 'excellent computer skills' (as stated on my CV ) come in handy!

For now, I leave you with this photo that sums up my feelings about this particular Friday.
