A Grown Up Now. In Theory.

Recovery

It's been a fun packed and exciting week. Of course, as a politics student, I would be failing in my duty if I hadn't had an interest in the General Election and the results as they came in over Thursday night. It was all good fun. Naturally, I do have an interest in politics but I mostly try to avoid it on this blog as it's not that type of thing.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the election. I stayed up till about 6:30am on Friday morning to watch the results develop, and it was very interesting to see. I watched both the 1997 and the 2001 elections almost all the way through the night as well, and I found those genuinely interesting despite being only 11 and 15 at the time (plus I had an RE exam the next day when I was 15...).

I managed to get four hours sleep before returning to check out the final closing developments of the election. As such, Friday was an interesting day in my battle to stay awake. I managed to get to 10pm, and this morning I feel I've almost fixed my sleep pattern. But it was worth it.

My two exams this week went reasonably well. My first exam for politics was OK, and the second exam for maths was surprisingly good. I'm happy about it so far. I have two left now, and the schedule for them probably couldn't work out better. I was very concerned I was going to get an exam on the 6th, which would stop me staying up all night to watch the election, but I have been very lucky.

Next Tuesday I have the "pre-departure meeting" for Camp America in Leeds. I can't believe how close to going to America this is all getting now, but I don't want to think about it before my last exam. It'll only make me nervous. It's a shame it is the day before my third exam on the Wednesday, but at least they don't clash. I'm not quite sure what it's for, but it's going to cost me another £15 for the train ticket anyway.

Meanwhile, in this house, the final disliked-housemate seems to be preparing to leave altogether. I honestly thought he had left yesterday after his parents came in their car, loaded it up and then disappeared at about 1pm. However, either I was having a very vivid dream, or he turned up at midnight last night and made a lot of noise.

A shame. I'm sick of their long and protracted periods of "goodbye" they seem to enjoy. Just go! I'm still expecting the Evil Housemate to return some time soon, because there's so much stuff he's left behind in his room. But I hope he doesn't, because there are a lot of games and DVDs that I can sell on eBay...

I still haven't started the Youth Review. I will soon...
