Day 14

            If normal circumstances applied I’d be a bad blogger, having had no prior existence and writing highly unedited, occasionally vulgar posts without a regular schedule. However, nothing about my current circumstances is normal.

IT is currently 3:29 AM, Queen is blasting in the background, I’m in a foreign country, and I’m only awake because I was woken up by intense stomach pains, (an impressive feat, I'm probably the world's deepest sleeper) and felt nauseous for a couple hours. So…. the culmination of these events and situations brings you this blog! Of course, 'twould generally be bad when a daily blogger misses not one but five days, but as NONE of them are posted as I am writing this, when you read them, you can read them continuously, experiencing my past fortnight in one sitting of a few hours or less.

 You know how you can read the comic in the newspapers? You get to read a new one every week, and if it’s not amusing you merely sigh and wait for the next week’s issue. However, if you’re patient you can buy or borrow a full book of the comics, giving yourself the wonderful and terrible power of whipping through months and years of artistic effort in a few minutes. This is how I view this blog. The entries aren’t perfect by any means, but you can see all of them and if one isn’t not interesting, ignore it and move on to something that happened as much as two weeks earlier or later.

So no, I will not apologise for my lapse because I didn’t assign myself requirement as a precaution and additionally because you wouldn’t even have known unless I told you, I could have blatantly lied and claimed that this post was no more than the next day, Day 10. It would have been all the same as you spent 30 seconds scanning my blog, and you could have lived a perfectly happy life without knowing the truth. In fact, studies show that people who haven’t read all my blog posts have gone on to lead perfectly healthy normal lives.

Wait? What was that? Oh yeah! I’ve literally typed three paragraphs about my own blog, without putting any actual information in here. Today I went on a quest to find Pocket Coffee, only to fail miserably and be depressingly uncaffeinated. Hey, speaking of caffeine (or lack thereof), tomorrow's going to be HELL.

(Narrator’s voice announces “many hours later…”)

Ahoy! It’s 10:35 pm now. My dire prediction proved to be…completely true. Morning was awful, worsened by the twinges of nausea I felt throughout the day. However, the day was enjoyable as a whole. I spent a pleasant 47 minutes studying Latin during a period filled by Ancient History every other day, and I walked around the city for almost three hours after school, something that is rapidly becoming a habit. (This is all part of my grand scheme to be able to navigate from my house to the school by Christmas by the way).

I have an Art History field trip tomorrow. I’m not particularly excited for another field trip, but I feel like it would be akin to a sin if I went to Italy and didn’t study Art History.
