Writers block is really annoying

I’ve spent this holiday trying to get ahead of my other class mates by writing an essay that isn’t due in for another month. But it’s terrible. Not only is the question hugely broad, so there’s no way I’m going to score highly, but I’ve discovered that I’m actually not that good at curing writers block. When I’m stuck for ideas, it’s like I’m trapped between a rock and a hard place. Add about 40 years of scientific research and I literally have no idea what’s going on, let alone what to write next.

I wonder if Russell Brand and Joe Jonas could be friends?

If I could go on holiday I would go to Russia with Russell Brand and Joe Jonas – which is why it would be important for them to be friends. Russia is beautiful this time of year, and with Joe Jonas constantly providing a dramatic background track to my movements, I could pretend I was a super cool spy . And hey, Russia is far away. I need some comedy to keep me going. And enter Russell Brand. I hear Katy Perry is absolutely mental.

Perfume ads and chocolate

The best bit about the Christmas holiday, is that my mum buys close to 6 tins of chocolate. We’re talking the industrial sized ones with hundreds of different tiny pieces of heaven, which is exactly like it sounds – heaven. On the other hand though, it does mean having to endure 20 different advertisements for perfume on the TV, interlaced with 5 minutes of the actual, television programme I tuned in to watch. What are they trying to tell me – that I smell? What a thing to tell a girl at Christmas.

Sun, sea, surf and midterms

The word exam is like word vomit. If you say it fast enough, it sounds either like you’re sneezing, or as like a vocal symptom of some water-borne disease. Either way, literal or otherwise I am not looking forward to the upcoming exams of 2011. On the other hand, I’m going to a surfer’s paradise in Portugal this year. That is something I can’t wait to do this year. Perhaps it won’t be so bad after all. Unless I get sunburnt. That would mean tears before bedtime.
