Seeing as I can't exactly go out with a bang, I thought I'd do the opposite. Let me explain...
I wanted to end summer on a high, leaving me motivated, alert and relieved of tension (these last two weeks I could have really done with a back massage or something) ready for school. But no. Instead it looks as though I will finish summer just as stressed as I started it. This revelation occured to me tonight when my boyfriend came round merely so he could get changed in my bathroom, douse himself in Lynx and go out again to a party where he will, no doubt, drink his weight in alcohol and have a whale of a time doing it. Standard Adam Laycock summer (I know you shouldn't wish ill on people, but I do hope his has a banging headache tomorrow morning). My life, on the other hand, has been consumed by work. Personal statement, catch-up summer work, university open days, the ELAT, extra reading - these are the kind of things that occupy my head.
But no fear! God is here! (Nope, still can't finish a post without mentioning him!) As always, my wonderful friend Jesus has alluded to the fact that I am indeed being ridiculous. Let's be honest, all I can do is work as hard and I can; he has his hand on the rest. Whatever happens, I will end up where he wants me. After all, what are friends for? So, instead of sitting in my hovel eating leftover Easter eggs I will be motivated! I will enter Year 13 as a cross between braird and stampeeding horses; this year is the start of something new, yet I intend to hit the ground running. This is my first chance to put myself on the map, and I intend to make my mark!
So, a new mantra is in order I feel; work hard, play hard. Afterall, Jesus did say "I came to give you life so you could live it to the full." Look out my friends, a new era of Amy has arrived!
(Oh and Adam, I do love you really!)
Word of the Day: braird - the first sprouts or shoots of grass, corn, or other crops; new growth.
