It's been a while...

It's been quite a while since I last posted on here so I thought I might owe you an explanation, that is if anyone actually cares. It's GCSE year for me and - scrap that, that's barely an excuse, I've had lots of free time and I'm not going to lie, I'm going to use the reason that most of the cretins in my school use to explain why they haven't done their homework, I forgot. What any teenager would tell you (and they're lying), is that they were busy studying for a certain exam etc etc. But what they fail to mention is that they are trying and failing at that.

When trying to revise for a subject you don't like, you feel like EVERY little thing in your room is on a mission to distract you, for example today I was trying to revise for a physics exam and these were my distractions:

• A bird chirping outside- I taped up the edges of my window (-5 minutes)
• My desk had permanent marker on it- Got the Cif out (-5 minutes)
• I was hungry- Made some pasta (-15 minutes)
• I realised I didn't know where my phone was- went searching (-10 minutes)
• My bed wasn't made- Made it (- 2 minutes)
• Floor was cluttered- Tidied (-20 minutes)
• My carpet had crumbs on it- Did vaccuming (-10 minutes)
• Clothes that needed washing were on the floor- put them in the wash (-3 minutes)

The moral of the story is, tell a child to revise for a test and they'll spend an hour and 10 minutes tidying their room.
