Happy Holidays!

Here I am again, thinking carefully about what to blog about. And the reason i have so much time to ponder over this is because the holidays are here. Woohoo! But is it only me who realises that the word 'holidays' is such a contradiction? The good thing is that you don't have to go to school. But the bad thing is that the coach thinks it's a good time to increase the number of trainings and the horrifying shadow of the common tests looms. I'm running out of things to say about the holidays without it descending into yet another full-of-shit guide, so I shall tell you people a story. A horror story. A really scary horror story. That combines all your darkest fears and insecurities.

let X be you

Here goes:

This is the tragic story of X. The June holidays are here! Cheers! One month of kickass freedom. But common tests is in the last week of June. X knows deep within that X should start studying. Eventually, he decides that he needs to study during the holidays. But when does X actually start? Right after all the movies, nights out, trainings, playing computer games, feasting on snacks and surfing senseless blogs(tcs is excluded). How is it possible that someone so bent on studying not study? Witness this monologue.

good side: It's time to stop playing and study!
bad side: Aiyah, never mind, can study tomorrow.
good side: How do you know there'll be a tomorrow?
bad side: I don't know, but if the world is ending before tomorrow, I study for fuck?

The dark side always wins. So X ends up studying only on the day before the common tests. But miracles happen, and he finished studying everything on that day partly because X is a genius. But tragedies happen too, and throughout all the papers, X's mind went blank, for unknown reasons. Imagine that you've forgotten everything that you've studied. So he failed all his common tests. After failing everything,X couldn't take any h3 subject, which was what X had always wanted to do. Then, X lost confidence in himself, saying, "I've studied everything. There's nothing more that i can do" and ended up failing his promos as well. X couldn't stand the shame of being retained, so he quit the school and...to be continued by yourself because I'm too godamn lazy.

but isn't it scary?
