I realise that it has been a while since we last spoke, but y'know what they say: if you drop something for a bit because you're doing something else then technically that's fine and should have no moral or responsibility related implications on your peace of mind. You may want to paraphrase that for future reference.
You see, quite a while ago the board of education came up with this dreadful thing known as 'end of year exams.' The way I see it is that there could be a number of different reasons for them to do this:
a) they enjoy watching teenagers suffer through the monotony and torture of revision
b) they're trying to overcome some past childhood traumas and the only way to do so is to cry out indirectly
c) they want to see how much of the stuff we've been told over the past few years has actually gone in
d) it's some form of natural selection and all those who receive bad results are going to be taken to a chamber and gassed
e) it was all a dream
It may be of your concern that I only add option e for the sake of covering all grounds and in today's world that's how all things seem to end now anyway. If you are, however, interested in this option, you should go and look at this previous post: http://anunladenswallow.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/giant-horror-rabbit-at-thorpe-park.html
In other news some exciting stuff has been going on.
A few weeks ago (or last month or something) I wrote and performed a 10 minute piece on living with OCD for my drama class. My drama teacher seemed to be pleased with it (well she said a bit more than that, but with option e I don't want to get my hopes up) and asked me to perform it again for an audience of about 70 staff and students.
Following this, I was asked to perform it a third time (third time) so that it could be filmed and sent to the National Theatre. The National Theatre. At this point I honestly could no care about what happens afterwards because it's extremely unlikely they'll even message us back, but I'm still happy that it happened. I think probably the best achievement I've made over the past few weeks is managing to make 4 audience members cry with this thing. Which, admittedly, sounds slightly twisted in retrospect....
So now I just get to spend the rest of this week off school relaxing and enjoying mys-
Oh. Exams in a week?
You sure?

Today's song of the day is the background music for my OCD piece. It genuinely is music to cut your wrists to, so I apologise profoundly:
