21st-27th May

Alright, I've decided to use the dates of my journal postings as the title instead of racking my brain to think of a catchy and original headline. One, I suffer from a terminal illness called laziness. Secondly, I can barely keep track of all my postings and after neglecting my blog for the past month or so, I was forced to whip out the calendar and check how many entries I've missed. I hate calendars, don't ask my why, I just do. Anyway, according to a friend's blog, this week is supposed to be about exams so i guess that's my topic of the week. Most of the papers were moderate except biology but that's because I've no affinity for the subject. I'm terribly sorry, Pn Lim, but i just cannot relate to how a plant lives. I mean, if transpiration and algae bloom were part of my daily activities, perhaps i would have done better. Maybe i should emulate method actors and attempt to live like the plants do. You know, hang out by the sun, pollinate and make my own food. Just the average teenage plant. Although, my mum would be pleased because all she would have to pay for are my fertilizers but i digress. As usual, I did my own fair share of last minute studying and midnight cramming. These late night study sessions basically consist of an hour of proper studying and 3-4 hours of anxiety attacks and hyperventilation. Yes, really productive. Oh, I skipped school on friday because I thought I deserved some R&R after spending so many sleepless nights suffering from mini panic attacks. I swear, I had such a torrid time that I even had heartburn or it could have been the 10 course meal I had the previous day. As I laid on my unmade bed clutching my chest as if my heart was on fire, I had an epiphany; I thought, "This is such a disgraceful way to die. I imagined some elaborate death scene with my family and friends crying over my Chanel-clad body, not while I'm in my ratty pink teddy pajamas with unruly hair and bad breath." Thus, i decided that with my newfound appreciation of the natural life and an overwhelming sense of my own mortality, I was going to enjoy what was left of my brief life and close the textbooks. I should get heartburns more often...
