March! Friggin’ March! Hold on a moment….

Yeah, it’s just as I thought, my heart is contemplating shutting down and locking up for good – but in all fairness on Larry (random name for my heart), he has been working overtime on ye oul’ stress levels! Gone are the days of yore when one could read Shakespeare’s King Lear leisurely, or write out a baffling Tableau de Conjuguez – from this moment on, we are now confined to actually doing something productive, maybe in learning something – but this takes time and effort, and poor oul’ Larry is probably not up to it! I mean I’m seriously considering holding a sign above my head saying, “If found, please return to September 1st 2009″.

This year has flown by in a tornado of exam papers, worry, ink, foreign languages, C.A.O forms, laughter and Ben&Jerry’s Ice Cream – at least Dorethy ended up in Oz, singing and dancing with the Munchkins after she had been spun off her heels- all I’ve got is a headache . And to cap it all off (Side Note: I want a nice green cap! *He stares into space, distracted) …Woah! Sorry about that…As I was saying, to cap it all off, my synapses and neurons are working perfectly which means every morning I’m reminded by these little nuggets of baffling protein -(I think they’re constructed of protein? God, my bio paper is going to SUCK!)- that we only have a short amount of time until the exams (As Caoimhe was only too nice to point out…Oh Caoimhe? You’re off my X-Mas Card List!) and we really need full steam ahead. Ooh pretty light……

Really, I must stop getting so distracted! So, how is everyone coping? I can almost hear the clock (we shall call him Tim) tick tock, as if laughing at the beads of perspiration that blossom like dew upon my brow (Watch out Yeats!!), until I feel capable of punching Tim in the face – thankfully, aforementioned synapses remind me that Tim is made of glass and punching him would be a very bad idea! Seriously though, if March is here already, after I procrastinated that it wouldn’t be here for ages, why, that means that tomorrow is June 9th! (This is not logic! Merely, it is my brain). But, I think I make a valid point -even if it is wayward ; we’re at the finish line now and I can almost taste the hot-cross buns – Woah! Tangent again – Easter is nearly here. What did you give up for Lent? What is your desired Easter Egg?- So, another few months hard studying is all that is required from us. Pity the new season of Desperate Housewives has begun. Pity I’ve decided to re-watch all the previous seasons. Pity Education must take the burden of deprivation. I promise to love you one day Education, but really, there is only another few years in D.H. – you wouldn’t want me to miss out now would you? I’m talking to a word- tad worrying, is it not?

Maybe reading Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has had some sort of effect on me? I could be a reflection of the Mad Hatter. (You may all be wondering why on Earth I’m reading a children’s book for? Simply because I can! I love children’s books – it could be my brain remembering, and longing for, a simpler time! A time where one was allowed to be stupid and not worry about the strain of making a complete fool (or as we say in the country: a complete arse!) of one’s self in one’s Music Practical) Worrying really that our Orals, Practicals etc are only a month away….that is it! My heart has gone haywire!!…….*mother calls “Ian? Ian!….Ian lies still….

Bet I scared you huh? Anyway…anyone else excited for Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland or am I the only one that gets excited when this man gets behind a camera!? Pure genius- I cannot wait!!!

So, word to the wise: don’t over do it people! As long as you go to school, study each night for a few hours (including homework) you’ll be fine!

A bientot,

Ian
