Exam periods are always a stressful time, whether it’s GCSE, A level or University exams. As many of us know, when you’re stressed, it’s very easy to become irritated by the smallest things. So, for my first blog of 2011 (blame the exams) I am going to list the things that have really pissed me off recently.
Firstly, as cynical and often outspoken as I may seem, I do in fact have a sympathetic side. But it has its limits. I don’t wish divorce on anyone and understand it can be a traumatic time. But I am so sick to death, fed up, annoyed and bored of hearing about Katie F***ing Price! Every time I browse the newspaper shelf of any shop I die more than a little inside. ‘Katie fights back.’ ‘Katie wants Peter back.’ ‘Jordan on verge of breakdown.’ I must admit the latter is my favourite. I propose a ban on Katie Price, aka Jordan news for the foreseeable future. Until the fateful day she leaves this world and moves on to irritate everyone in the next.
Success and fame is hard to come by, maybe not as hard as it used to be, but still requires a little bit of work. So anyone that manages to get a record deal in the music industry or release a chart topping song I have an element of respect for. But there is a distinct difference between having respect for someone and being so obsessed that I’d pay to watch a film about them. So I was less than thrilled to see adverts and billboards promoting Justin Biebers’ new film. Of course it is a very touching story, the whole ‘American dream’ element makes it very touching (even if he is Canadian.’) As for his book, I’ve touched on this topic before, but what can he possibly have to write about? He’s 17 years old. Admittedly, not your normal 17 year old but still...
Finally, I enjoy keeping fit. I play regular sport, I eat relatively healthily (as far as a student diet goes) and I go to the gym. I think an I-Pod is a must have when it comes to going to the gym. It takes your mind off the ache in your legs, or how tired you are and allows you to work hard in a relaxing manner. But its main use is to block out the incredibly irritating grunting that goes on in the weights room. The fact that you have 50kg on each side of the bar demonstrates to me that you’re quite strong and obviously work very hard. But please, less of the god awful noises that make the gym sound more like the Wimbledon women’s final (between the Williams bro...I mean sisters). Also, when choosing the appropriate attire for the gym, wear either a vest or a t-shirt; don’t roll you sleeves up, especially when doing bicep curls...get over yourself.
Ahhh, that feels better.
