Exeat!!

It's been far too long. School has been up to my neck lately and I haven't got much time to do anything, but now I'm home resting for the weekend as it's exeat. I say resting, but in truth I'm preparing a talk and handout for "Marxist Contribution to the Economy", a presentation which I am giving on Monday with an 'oh so wonderful' girl in my year. She actually is literally the perfect person- a friendly, pretty genius!!!! But I can't see how I'm going to get things done in time. Everything is a little too stressful at the moment!!!
Oh but between my last post and now, so many things have happened - both good and bad, of course...

Number 1 bad thing--- up till now, at this certain hour, after agonising hours and DAYS of waiting expectantly, the US Congress is still lulling it's FAT self slowly towards passing the bail-out rubbish. It's 700 billion dollars, just pass the stupid bill and save the global economy from collapsing....although to be honest THAT would be very interesting!!!

Number 2 bad thing---er...i can't think of anything else at the moment

Number 3 (er...not bad) thing---i think i'm fairly done with the first part of the ucas process

Number 4---i had the greatest day ever on my birthday- but i still fail to come to terms with the fact that i am now officially OLD

Number 5----i am a winner of fyp!! go me!

Number 6---i was commended in trinity college cambridge philosophy prize *hiss* i should've got first prize

Number 7---my school has this preparing for interview classes, in which i was forced to give a speech on why i wanted to study ppe, and ...y'know, it wasn't THAT bad.....

Number 8---i have had an absolutely AMAZING weekend so far, and i've got my lovely friends to thank for it

Number 9---my politics teacher is now in love with me, despite telling me off earlier this term---- but my english teacher is a bit upset with me because in the same class he handed us back our essays, in which i got the highest score of 29/30, i wasn't paying attention and i slept off. When he woke me up by asking a question, i simply said i wasn't sure- because i wasn't, i actually wasn't sure!! I mean, i was still half asleep for goodness sake! So anyway he believes I possess a well of knowledge (which i do) which i am too selfish to share with the rest of the class (which i am) and thus pretend to be stupid in class but then have the most amazing essays (er...why would anyone want to look stupid?)

Number 10- i do not, and probably will never, like Richard Dawkins...forgive me, dear God, for this feeling of hatred....but it is all out of love for you

Number 11- i now love economics, and everything econowise, so much that I now read THE ECONOMIST *gasp* so I am developing a passion for the last part of the course i am applying for, which i hadn't really loved so much before. in fact, my economics teacher told me last class that I was on FIRE! Go me!!!!

Number 12--i am generally pleased with life, although scared out of my wits that i won't get an interview, or i won't prepare enough for the TSA PPE test, or I won't get into oxford.....AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! It's a horrible thought, but then again SHIT HAPPENS. And even if I don't get in, I will get where I want to in life...because Francesca said so. Francesca, by the way, is only the most amazing friend ever. I do love her really.

Well, i should get back to work now....so the 'oh so perfect' girl won't have me messing up her presentation. I'm going back to school tomorrow :( and I might not post again for a while :( :( :(
