listening to: heartbeats by the knife.
exams are over. even just typing those three simple words sends a zing of excitement rushing through my system. the sweet scented knowledge that there will be no pressing deadlines, no hectic all-nighters, no gloomy mornings where i wake up with some immense project bearing down on my mind is probably one of the best feelings i've felt these past two days.
this taste of freedom is refreshing and though one may argue that soon it'll become too boring to bear, soon i'll long for that adrenaline of accomplishing some educational goal or that soon i'll feel unfulfilled and dissatisfied, i'll say i've definitely felt no hint of that whatsoever the two days that i have had freedom. in fact, if these past two days are anything to go by, my ten weeks of peace (or rather, lack thereof) will definitely have meaning, will definitely be fulfilling and will definitely be filled with satisfaction. and most definitely lack boredom.
of course, i'm not saying i didn't have fun during my exam time. saying i didn't would be like saying i'm not a materialistic, shallow and amazingly coolsuperduperawesomehotass girl.
*snort* okay, maybe not the latter but the former. it's just that these ten weeks promise much more. the exam time was a teasing taster of my days, or rather, nights to come. i've already launched in full swing with two fun-filled days and will continue to stay in this tangent for as long as the summer lasts.
obviously there is a downside to the ending of exams. people leaving, namely that amazing best friend who has accompanied me through many moments of fun in the past and another childhood friend who i've shared many ups and downs with. not only them, but my force for sanity, the voice in my head (especially during maths lessons) who happens to be turning to the dark side. yet my sadness due to this is undermined by the eager anticipation i feel because of the fact that many beloveds are jetting their way back here to this lil ol' abode of peace. happy days can't even begin to describe this summer.
and on that zesty little sunshine ray of a note, that said summer calls to me. i hope you'll enjoy yours as much as i plan to enjoy mine. people, don't take what has been so lovingly presented to you for granted.
