Recent 'discussions' amongst friends regarding a certain individual I like has taken my mind off of family troubles. It's funny because I was only supposed to give a friend a lift to a shop and drop them back; it ended up being the Spanish Inquisition (to be honest I did expect them). "HOW LONG", "SINCE WHEN", "WANT ME TO TELL HER", "I SO NOTICED", "[friends' names] HAVE TOTALLY NOTICED YOU NOTICED" and "WANT ME TO ORGANISE SOMETHING" were the featured questions. Help.
Also my performance in mock examinations has cheered me up; I'm predicted 3 As (in A-Levels, the final exams before you move to university, you typically take only 3 subjects; at AS (advanced subsidiary) you take, typically, 4) and getting just that in the mocks has given me a nice confidence boost before the exams proper (which are only five weeks away).
