That really sums me up, well I like to think my heart is much deeper than that (Why do people say ‘heart’? Surely everything we feel and think is in the mind) but I tend to stray into the grounds of pessimism fairly often. If you can be so benevolent for the second line I would not brand myself a full on fundamentalist pessimist but instead a sceptical thinking that can’t help but focus on the bad points. Not that pessimism is a bad attribute, but it can be fairly tiresome listening to a person who can only focus on his or her woes. Nothing is more irritating though than a person who is optimistic all the time. Such a disturbing characteristic only brings memories of dread to my mind. So I’m rather militant to those who are optimists and I urge you all to look on the bad side of life.

You may be wondering how my superfluous natter about pessimism and optimism actually could lead onto a worthwhile article and I was so ever tempted to mirror my article, “No Method behind the Madness, the Holidays are Here” , thankfully this holiday is rather different. Perhaps thankfully is the wrong word (My tainted effort for optimism shines through)? I have conceivably far more work this spring break which would seem dulling but like so many of you may have understood and hopefully appreciated I do not always find work tediously dulling.

McDonald's work is the incarnation of Satan placed in a bun and then fed to a divorced husband who is taking his children on a day out to Sutton high street; I’ll admit practical part time work sucks the orange out of juice but place me in front of a book and I should be rather content.

This spring break then is a chance for me to spring upon revision and learn all the deepest darkest secrets of revision’s ways. It is boring in places and fun in others and so the balance of pessimism and optimism has been found. The issue with these spring holidays is the confusion between work and play because a balance in those matters is very difficult, if not impossible to find. The balance is so precise indeed that it can have horrible effects on your own essence.

I have found myself loaded with huge amounts of time this first week of the holidays but have lost whole days from bumbling around the house reminiscing on the vast amount of paper work which still awaits. This sort of mindless activity only suited for a lemon can leave you very pessimistic. Going out with friends then balances your essence with optimism and makes the holiday seem worthwhile. It just so happens that my younger brother is an optimist that also finds himself bumbling around the house avoiding work. So now I shall take great pleasure shooting the optimist and getting back to my own pessimistic ways.

Feel free to join my religion of pessimism, entry is horrendously expensive and you will find everything to be bothersome, bland and boring. Welcome to the world of revision!
