every second dripping off my fingertips

Hello world. I would like to announce that exams are over and now I am going to thrash my books. Be back in 5...

Ok so maybe I didn't exactly thrash my books. As a matter of fact, I'm reading them now. Yes, how ironic (normally Gareth and books don't go in the same sentence... they still don't).

The exams have somehow left a void in our hearts, us IB students. We feel empty without it. We crave it (well, not exactly). We get bored without it. Why? I mean, what twisted student would get bored without books? Aren't books boring enough already? Well, the twisted students from some school along Dover Road would be experiencing that right about now.

But what makes this so? Well for starters, we've been living off internal assessments and mathematics portfolios for the past 10 months of our lives. That's even longer than it takes to make a baby! (whoops... I just went from a G to an M-18)
Then there's the long hours. With long periods. Kudos to the Kings and Queens who keep their citizens at full attention for 2hours and 20mins.
Finally, there's just... Life. In a city that's bustling with life, it's quite funny that the youngest of us apparently don't have one. Sure, this is coming off cheesy and expected and whatever other sesquipedalian term you can come up with, but honestly, we citizens of this great kingdom clearly have no liberty to go out and catch Disaster Movie, continuously being bogged down by the cargo ship loads of homework being dumped on us every week. Tragic.

What's even more tragic is the after effects of this process. Now, we feel lost, and insecure, and incoherent. We need work. We need to be ripped off buying sandwiches we can make at home by ourselves. We NEED IA'S!!!

So please, please give us homework. Please give us IA's, and more EE's and TOK presentations. Better yet, if Liverpool beat Zenit St. Petersburg or some lower league club 1-0, celebrate by giving us a day to go back to school so we can slog away at all our overdue and yet-to-be-given homework.

So much for being bored and incoherent.
