Exams are over. I got through it. Embrace me! *voldemort hug*. That means I have a long-awaited summer ahead of me, with many, many, many days of pure, pure freedom. Now the question is; what do I do with all this time?
I find it vaguely amusing and exuberantly irritating that during revision you have about 1001 things that you can think of doing when the holiday comes around, but when you finally finish the nightmare – that is exams – each and every individual thought pops happily out of your left ear. This is the position I’m in at the moment. And my ear has a gaping hole in it.
A brief update on the exam situation is that in Physics, my chosen career path, I have undoubtedly failed and will now spiral into death and torment over unhappy deceased dreams (or something along those lines). In Ethics, the case is similar, but previously predictable. Apparently blabbing on about Stewardship doesn’t apply to why the death penalty should or shouldn’t be used. My bad. Anyway, I’m done talking work.
Praise the Sheep King! I am writing again. Poetry. Short stories. The lot! And on top of this, publishing and competing. If only I had a voice, I think the craze for slam poetry is seriously top-notch. If I had £200 billion, I could hire an actor (or even a footballer) to read it for me! Another life? I should think so.
So far, I’ve entered 2 written competitions with poems, but this time, I’m trying to go a little further. I want people to actually read my work, from a book. I’m not bothered about earning money from it, or fame, but I’d love people to see the pleasures of words as I do. I’ve been searching around for a publisher, or even just self-publishing services, but with my limited experience and my limiting funds (which aren’t likely to improve seeing as my next few years are spent in education), I’m running across mud. I’m beginning to think ambition is another word for ‘never-happening’. But I retain hope.
Quick notice: Going to Espana for a week from the 9th June. On work experience for a week after that. A couple of commitments and then I’m back with you.
