It was a dark dark day. It had reached a point of desperation that all students hope will never arrive. Realisation sinks in as they can barely tear their eyes away and get something done, but I - in a state of guilt and shame - I had made the decision.
It was time to deactivate Facebook.
My heart had sunk into a state of near apathy as the emotional blackmail filled up the screen before me: "Jo, all these friends will miss you!" I turn my face away, blindly clicking somewhere, anywhere, so I didn't have to witness myself deactivating with a sense of dread.
It is finished! Facebook, forgive them for they know not why they deactivate!
Well I do, it's so I can revise. Ironically enough it's just encouraged me to find new ways of procrastinate (to procrastinate being the definitive Hills Road buzz word). I started reading a 460 page book last night, I'm already over half way through - quite an achievement as my reading tends to be slow and thorough. Oh well, at least it's a little more productive.
The end is nigh, for exams are upon us all. I'm giving myself a few days to recover from withdrawal symptoms before taking revision seriously once more. It's weird that it's the last few days of teaching at Hills with no lower sixth. It's odd how many friends I've made in the year below, and I'll miss them. Uni beckons though; we'll see what the future has to bring.
But one thing's for definite. As soon as I get home from my final exam on June 16th, I'm reactivating Facebook.
