Valuing Freedom
If there's one thing school has taught me, it's the value of freedom. I don't think I've ever really thought about it before but it's true. When you've got a big weight on your shoulders, the moment that burden is gone you feel this sense of relief; a feeling of liberation that is just plain amazing. I feel like I have all the time in the world now, though of course that is not true because my yearlies are looming ahead. But still- I am happy, and I'm enjoying this short cooling-off period.
Being sick sucks, though. I have a cold and it was really bothering me today. I kept sniffing and sneezing which made my eyes water quite a lot. And now my nose is feeling stuffed and hot. Sigh. But I want to go to school tomorrow- we're starting a new topic in History and, strangely enough, I want to go to Maths and English. I'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
YEARLIES!!!
:(.
i did badly today.
You've reminded me that I have two great addictions. The need for freedom is one. Any form of restraint drives me into a pit. But it can be a subjective and complex commodity. Anyway, enjoy the break. You've more than earned it. Hope the cold clears up soon. I find the first two days are the worst.
i know that freedom feeling. i get it at the end of term. i love that i can do anything.
i also get it after i finish a massive SOSE assignment. you suddenly realise you managed to do it. and now it's over.

Get better soon! x
Hope you're feeling better, Lu. Is that why you've been quiet these past few days? You've been missed.
