the girl who graduated
She wasn’t there among us and most of us didn’t know. Her name was announced and yet no one appeared for the handshake. Everyone applauded at first but slowly stopped. John Taylor continued to say that she had died before the completion of her studies in a car accident. Everyone’s heart sank. John resumed by […]
next time I’ll have that coffee and skip the misery
You wake up at 6 in the evening because you slept at 10 in the morning. Your sleeping schedule is too screwed up to bother to think about it right now. Something’s not right, you had another weird dream. You think it’s a good idea to not have any coffee now because your new-found optimism […]
my dreams can be explained
For the past 4 days, I’ve been having some worrying dreams. Everything I have a slight fear about these days, has come up. My dreams usually make sense to me. I can, in retrospect, recognise the hidden meaning behind the random things that happen in my dreams. Like, I was on the phone talking to […]
what, no fat lady singing?
I’ve started writing this post 6 times since yesterday and every time I deleted everything I had typed and gave up. Yesterday I simply assumed I was tired but what about today? I couldn’t be tired today as I slept for more than 9 hours.
So after giving up I kept switching to doing something completely […]
1 to go (I suck at goodbyes)
Do you know this feeling? There is this awkward feeling where your brain feels heavy. Have you ever had that? Right now that’s what mine feels like, heavy. But not from being full with knowledge, it’s because it’s gone solid. Like some kind of rock or a brick. It has gone numb and I cannot […]
2 down, 2 to go (my brain hates me)
We are waiting to be called in the exam room. The time goes by and we’re all telling each other how we are not ready for this and dreading the exam. Some laugh nervously, others sit in a corner and one is in the wrong place altogether. Seriously, he’s meant to be somewhere else for […]
1 down 3 to go
Momentum. That’s what I have right now. I swear I could start revising for my next exam right now but I won’t. I will not, because I think my brain has already turned to mash and I don’t want to push it over the edge. It would probably liquify and that wouldn’t be good since […]
10 days left
And so it starts. The final countdown to what will hopefully be the end of my life as an undergraduate.
My first exam is tomorrow but my mind has already skipped to the end of this academic year. Even though I have a rough few days ahead of me I just need it to feel over. […]
favourite quote of the day
Lecturer: You know what the deal with exams is, right?
Students: *blank stare*
Lecturer: It’s about marks, not knowledge.
walking through a month-long fog
I woke up from a dream where everything around me was misty. Thick fog was blurring my surroundings and I had no idea where I was headed. I was following the road I was on thinking that this was the best way to not get lost. When I opened my eyes the sun was shining […]
