Post Exam Emptiness

The exam's are over. Nothing to do for four months.

I am bored.

You work and work and work, and then you actually do the sodding paper and then there is nothing...

And this should be utter bliss? But i still feel stressed.

I am a silly bunny.

Stressed? That will pass. Eventually, you'll pass in a happy state. "I'm done! I'm done" which then leads to the "good god, I am so bored" state. Eventually you get into the "Sweet holy christ! I need to do something" state.

Well I have a job starting next week which is nice. And i am planning to go on Holiday somewhere cold. Maybe Switzerland.

And it's depressing as all my friends have gone home. are going home so I won't have anything to do in the evenings (althugh after work I am usually too tired to do anything).

Ellis!, that's not silly- it's a pretty common reaction. I get the same thing after an exam or a big project, and so does Lurid Archive. I think it happens because you've had this thing dominating your whole life, eating up your time, your energy, and your attention, and now that it's gone you're bound to feel a bit lost.

Declare the next week or so to be "Be Nice To Ellis" time. Go and watch Star Wars, or drink jam, or eat planarian worms fed on cocaine and the brain tissue of minor celebrities, whatever you young people do for fun these days. You'll find that the exam comedown wears off after a while. (Generally half-an-hour into your summer job.)
