Hectic Week

This week has been nothing short of crazy (bullshit)

I've had prelims every morning this week and as early as Tuesday i thought it was Friday but that was probably because what my head wanted.

Monday i had English close reading which went fairly well.
Music listening on Tuesday was hit and miss coz im not so good at the listening part of the subject.
Same with french the day after, im not so good at listening but the essay went well i think.
Media on Thursday was just a case of write as much as you can in the best order you can which im fairly confident i did.
And today was spanish listening so again, hit and miss but essay was fine.

This is practically the first time ive sat down all week and done what ive really wanted. The xbox hasnt been on since last weekend, tv has rarely been on and ive just been looking at books and sleeping for most of the week. It hasn't been nice.

Today was even worse coz i was supposed to be getting a ticket to go see Queens of the Stone Age in May. I told my mum on Monday and she was happy to get it coz they went on sale while i was in school but when i woke up she bascially told me it wasnt her problem or her ticket and she wasn't getting it. I was pretty pissed off but even more so when i got home to find they had bloody sold out. Didn't think they would.

I hate when ive no gigs to look forward to, it's depressing. I need something big to look to, something to work towards and at the moment i have nothing.

The next few weeks dont get much better than this one. There's one more prelim left and im sure they've left it to last for a reason. English timed essays, two of them. Total hell. Without a doubt the most difficult part of all the subjects im studying coz this is what has to be revised the most, known inside out, back to front, loop the loop etc.
If you don't know it, you're screwed and thats the way i feel right now.

It isn't just english on Monday but my final bass exam on Wednesday and my Spanish speaking final exam on Friday so its difficult concentrating on just english but i guess i'll have to sacrifice them and put english first, then Spanish and my bass last coz obviously im a complete virtuoso and it's going to be brilliant no matter what ;)

We've also been talking about subjects for next year and it's just way over my head. The school likes you to choose subjects appropriate to your "career" which is a whole other matter to deal with. I've no idea what i want to do after school so i guess i need to see one of those adviser people.
The only thing i definetely know i want to study next year is one language, but you have to pick four subjects in total. Id probably leave Spanish and its a tie between advanced french or the newly introduced Italian course.
Tbh, i'd be more incline for Italian coz it would be a THIRD language at a higher level which looks good on any CV and also, Bryan made noise about taking it as well much to my surprise as he hates French xD
So, im probably doing Italian :P

No idea for the other three tho.

But yeah, essentially, this is probably the height of stress this year in school coz the prelims are every day, there's subject choices to think about, and there's not even any study leave. At least during the exams, there is study leave, you've picked your subjects and the exams are spaced out.

I swear, if i make it through the next couple of months without some sort of mental breakdown, it'll be a fecking miracle coz let's face it, it's not just school problems ive got to deal with :/

Anyhoo, speaking of spaced out, ive been listening to The Doors properly for the first time and im absolutely loving it. So trippy.
Dunno what my favourites are yet, most are good so here's a comparison between The Doors' "Back Door Man" which clearly had an influence on The White Stripes "Rag and Bone" (shame they split up as well, woulda loved to have seen them live...)
