Slightly Stressed would be an understatement
I guess the title sort of summaries how I've felt this week. It's been hectic and I hate studying already, and its only been a week. eeekkk!I had a little freak out yesterday. Nearly cried. I just don't get it I mean you have to learn stuff off then reguritate it in exams!! How does that determine if you're smart or not?? I mean, in geography you go through 6 topics and have to know them in detail then the paper only last for an hour!! I mean come on, how much of what you've learnt is going to come up?!
Right now I'm so thankful I took on e-media coz I mean there aren't any exams- woohoo!! Imagine what I would be like if I actually had 4 subjects to study for. It would be a total nightmare. Can't wait to say goodbye to geography. Even though I do love the people in my class and will miss them! Lol.
Today was so stressful. I had to get up and head into school, but I couldn't really sleep last night so I was still really tired. Up at 6.30am headed out to school. I didn't get left until 11.30am coz my friends had to talk 2 teachers about duke of ed. Then we headed into Belfast. Got to starbucks, just casually drinking coffee, when I looked at my watch and realised it was 12.10pm and I had planned 2 get a bus at 12.30pm and still had to get a birthday present! Ahhh! Coz I needed to be home for my driving lesson at 2.30pm. Got an express at 1pm but had to desperately call round people to see if they could pick me up in Crossgar. Otherwise I wouldn't have been on time for my lesson, coz it takes so long to walk from Crossgar to my house. Then I had a rather large parcel as well.....!! Lol! So I finally scrounged a lift of my best friends mum, which then turned out to be her aunt who picked me up! (someone will be getting chocolates!) Flip, then I was in and only had time for lunch. Then got one of my best phonecalls of the day and it was Nigel (driving instructor) saying he was running 15mins late and I could just hear the hallieua chorus in my head. Woohoo!
I love driving. It's emmense.
When Nigel arrived I headed towards the passenger side (coz it's only my 2nd lesson) and he was like 'where are you going?' LOL! Today, I had to tackle pulling in on a hill while 2 tractors and a van passed me. Then I had to turn into a really awkward junction and pass a car that was parked at the same time! But it was ok I handled it. (anyone who has been at the derryboy crossroads will understand my trial). Phew! Then I had to go on the Beechview Road and if you've ever been you will know that the Pikestone end of the road is like a flippin' lane so I was like 'Nigel, what if I meet a car on this road? I will freak out!' He just said 'Don't worry there's piles of room for two cars. And if it gets too scarey I will just jump out the passenger door!' Now that did make me laugh I must say!! I love him he's so nice and patient! So I'm out tomorrow and heading to the wee town of Killyleagh...woohoo, watch out! I'm having a little crash course which is all part of the bant!
Well my dears I am SO SO SO exhausted so I shall turn in.
