Unwanted Pressures

"I'm not telling you that it is going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it" - Unknown
I am literally the queen of procrastinating, so the exams begin tomorrow and I've spent the past 4 and a half hours playing The Sims 3 and listening to music and now I'm writing a blog post while replying to all your lovely emails and watching pointless YouTube videos. It's known that I would do almost anything to not have to do work, although when I begin studying or sitting down to work on an assignment I get totally engrossed and could spend hours and hours doing so, I just don't have the mental capacity to start that process (one Sunday about a month ago I went to the movies 4 times in that day just so I didn't have to study for my English exam that was 3 days later.)
Anyhow, I've actually surprised myself this term and I've only cried twice (I was expecting to cry over stupid assignments and exams almost everyday like most kids in my grade are). The first was a few weeks ago while I was at home, on a Saturday, planning and drafting my Geography assignment. I was about 1000 words into this assignment and I really wanted a sandwich, so I walked down stairs to make this sandwich (I prepared all my salad ingredients) only to find we were out of bread. So there was poor Emma, feeling so sorry for myself because I was having a first world problem where I had ran out of bread :( The second was yesterday, and again, another first world problem. I was researching The Sims 4 game and was really excited to pre-order it online, when I found out it is only being released, at this stage, for PC… NOT MAC!!! I'm not sure if I'm just not letting myself cry over my school work which is then all building up to pathetic things like no bread or The Sims 4, or this is how pathetic my year 12 life has become.
Anyway, on the bright side I only have 5 school days left for this term (QCS for the next two days, exam block next week and then holidays) and then I only have 5-6 weeks next term!
Bring on graduation!!!!
