Gaaah. Worst time of the year. It’s amazing how little revision gets done during the semester. My mindset seems to be split up into a few timezones — during none of these do I actually get work done.

• First half of semester. Well, there’s no need to do any work now. Semester’s hardly started.
• Weeks before ‘mid-semester’ break. Why do work now? I’ve got two weeks’ holiday coming up, I can fit all the work in then.
• Mid-Semester Break. Wooooo! Holidays!!!
• Weeks after the break. Well, we can’t quite be at the end of semester yet. We only just had ‘mid-semester’.
• Last week. Yikes! Better do those assignments and essays!
• End of Swot Vac. Ah… time to get some study done.

This brilliant scheduling means approximately one week of revision gets done per subject. I’m a genius. Or rather, I’ll have to be in order to pass. And I’ve got to get some reviews done if I’m to smack Andy back down convincingly. He’s getting all self-important. You should see the way he swaggers around the Grapefruit office. He keeps on asking me to go down the street and get him coffee, while he lies back in his leather chair in search of “inspiration”.

There’s only so much I’ll take.
