Enjoying the peace and quiet, but not the pain.

Hello readers, hope you are enjoying the season we know as Summer, and of course hope you enjoy this entry.

Well as the title suggests, yes you guessed it, my Summer is a splendid one so far, and I can't see it getting too bad. I kept myself entertained so far by writing blogs, dog walking, reading here and there, playing on the XBOX 360, and of course Twittering and so forth. At this stage I've met up with a few people and had a few delightful days with them; although I will say it's been more a time to try and relax by being quiet. I've chosen to take a more relaxed approach, to the vast number of weeks at my disposal, simply because after my A levels I wanted just to take it slow for a few weeks, getting up late on a morning makes a real change from a constant getting up at 6 o'clock every morning for two years.

The simple fact that with regards to Sixth Form, as fun as it most certainly was, it does take a mental strain on you. It would be nearer the truth to say that A level (exams) are 50% knowledge of the subject and 50% handling of personal conditions, this includes stress of actually doing an exam, the build up towards that, and so forth. By no-means am I saying, ''ooh but it was too hard, A levels should be easier'', of course they are hard, but it's more how you cope with the challenge, hence as to why some people do better than others, because you can know everything in the world, but if you have a tendency to panic during exams, well my friend ''life sucks'' as they say.

Back to the main theme, the mental strain caused by doing three A levels, can cause you to go nuts if you don't take a step back after the exams and relax while you can, of course the odd night out is ok, and every Friday works for some people apparently. I'm happy though sitting in my house writing blogs, or doing laps of the (F1 style) Nurburgring on the old XBOX, as well as being happy just to have a nice day out with who ever may be on the cards that day, ''today'' it's my girlfriend's turn - Hurrah!

The problem with where I live, and have lived for the majority of my life, is that my nearest and dearest friends (including the girlfriend) live quiet far from where I live, so I haven't been able to go out on a night for years because of this. I did, at one point, have friends where I live, however the age where you choose sitting and getting drunk vs getting an education came up, the majority went one way, and I (thanking my lucky stars) went the 'right' way.

So yes, being by myself in one respect can be a lonely thing, but I grown up not to mind it, plus I have the option of seeing my friends it's not like I've been barred from entering the walls of society. I'm happy.

But Callum, what is this pain that you speak?...I hear you ask (just for the sake of asking)...well that tooth that came out seems to have had the last laugh, as it were, the area where the tooth was, has been rather ...wait for it... painful for the past few days, and I've been taking pain-killers for it, however these only last as a short term aid, the sooner this pain goes the better, that goes without saying.

Hope you've liked this edition of my blogs, I'm glad I've kept it going, therefore there should be more to come in the next few weeks and months.

Callum.
