I spent a lot of today sitting outside in the backyard, enjoying the absolutely perfect weather, and actually getting some sort of studying achieved. I don't know how the exam will go next week, but I'm getting there. Slowly. I really, really can't wait for this summer school to be over. I wish I could stop feeling so pressured to do well; I tell myself that I don't care, but I know in my heart that that's not true. Because if it was, I wouldn't have given up all those opportunities to go out with friends in favour [need] of studying more. Tomorrow night, I AM going out with the old drama group again; this last week has been nothing more than studying and working, and it's driving me insane.

I listened to the soundtrack to "Alegria" all day, from Cirque du Soleil. It was amazingly calming.
