...

Heart thumping, lungs crushing, her world spun round as she desperately clawed for the top. Wave after wave, water tipped her off balance before she could swim away. Sucked back into the abyss, pictures flashed through her head; a computer screen, an abandoned blog, her several posts of her life. 

*gasps*

she reaches the surface and scrambles for the nearest ledge. She grabs to one and slowly heaves herself up. She looks out to the keyboard and enters 'Mind of a Mundane Girl'. The screen flashes to a empty page. Her fingers rest of the keys and she begins to type the first words since the Crash...

Hello dearies! Yes, I just called my horrible GCSEs as 'the Crash' like some cheesy name for an apocalypse. This is actually a rare time for me to just sit down and type down what ever is left of my mind. Not only because of my great efforts to preparing for the exams - I admit there are some times where I don't use our given study leave with more practicality - but because my Mac decided to crash and burn. Apparently the logic board decided its time for it to stop working during the most essential time of this year - when I need it for past papers and mark schemes. So... in a sense, 'The Crash' goes not only to my current living under notes and papers but also the bloody crash of my precious computer. I could go on moping about losing one big part of my life but I think you wouldn't really want to hear about it.

So, life has gone preeetty fast. I'm already done my first six exams and now simultaneously revising Chemistry and English Lit. Before you know it I would probably think 'euphoria' is somehow related to ammonia... or something of the like. Furthermore, I'm dangerously close to that awful week where almost every contiguous day included one or more exams.

But while I am living under the rock I still try to keep my 'geek' up. I just recently finished the LOTR trilogy at an agonizingly slow rate and I'm still working on the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (whilst half-crying to the fact there are still 18 months before BBC finally showcases series 3 of 'Sherlock' ). Oh, I should probably mention that two months ago, I've read and still am in love with Pratchett and Gaiman's baby: Good Omens. Omg, how the very first page won my heart! If I was some Shakespeare prodigy, I probably would've written two or three odes and sonnets for that book of gold (not saying the other books mentioned aren't as good). So shite, need to stop pancaking* about... already a whole wall of text! 'Til then!

*to those wondering, I will (hopefully) explain this term in the next post... :P
