Finally - My Exam

I'm not going to go on yet another rant about how incredibly pointless this exam is. I'm not. I'm really going to try not to. Now it's just the waiting that's the problem. I've written the essay, memorised it quite successfully and now I just have to wake up at 8am tomorrow morning to write it down for them! Instead of hand it in all typed up and lovely. What has been keeping me very upbeat this week is after ordering a couple of things off the Internet, mainly books for my course but also those wonderful boots from EBay and some undies from Urban Outfitters. When they arrive it feels like it's my birthday as I get to madly unwrap a package and put it on my bookshelf, or perhaps my feet. Sometimes I get confused and try to read my shoe which is a little bit bizarre. Anyway I was flicking through this month's Company and, as I had read most of the article already I was back onto looking at the pictures. There is a system to reading magazines which I'm sure applies to a few people. First; flick through, glancing at every single article and only reading the silly or rude ones that don't have very many words and mostly have facts or pictures. Stop to look at the new clothes and make-up. Do the quiz.
The second reading; Read the articles that weren't originally interesting. Everything about a horrible experience or something attempting to prove a very serious point. Go through all the pictures of shoes and clothes and everything and ask your friends which one they would wear IF THEY HAD TO.
Third Reading; go through every line, every word printed. Basically.
Fourth: not so much of a reading. More just looking at pictures to avoid doing any real work.
The last is what I was doing. I was flicking through the pictures and I noticed that a lot of the clothes that had been selected for the shoot came from
.Urban Outfitters
There is usually a favourite shop each issue, whoever the stylist is bases their design on a particular collection, but I never think of Urban Outfitters. It is not a shop I really go to, knowing that it is quite expensive and when I did once go in America it was the same price but with a $ sign in front instead of a £ making it almost half. Excellent. And I think the clothes are fantastic. I bought some lovely dresses there and they have a nice selection of shoes and jewellery and everything you got in any high street store I suppose. The style has been predominately indie-art-student-quirky which I love, although I obviously think if anyone is really truly indie hardcore then they would probably only be shopping in charity shops and rummaging through bins. Regardless of this they make very very nice clothes. What particularly captured my attention were the pants. The large undies spread, no jokes please, was filled with ruffled pants and they all came from Urban Outfitters. I immediately went on and bought two pairs, as they are very over priced, and a little 'bralette'. I presume it is called 'bralette' as it can hardly be called a bra. It consists of barely any material and has no support of any kind. It doesn't even undo at the back, just slides over the head. It is a decoration, a little fancy, a 'bralette'. I love it. It is perfect for a girl with a very small chest, I can't imagine anyone blessed with large bosoms wearing it, and I fit the small chest category which in this case suits me fine.
So it was 'Happy Birthday' to me again today, but unfortunately tomorrow I have to wake up bright and early to spend an hour and a half writing out an essay I've written over and over again. This also means that I will have to start talking about something other than my evil exam. From tomorrow at 11am I will no longer have to think about anything other than packing to go away!
I'm sure it will make my blog much more interesting when I stop ranting about exams and calmly discuss something entirely different.
