In the End June 14th, 2005

Phil Martin

Tomorrow I take my last two exams of my high school career, Physics and Religious Studies. I have a certain tendency to (briefly) become stressed or concerned about exams, but several years ago, I disvovered this song by Linkin Park called “In the End”.

(It starts with) One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To explain in due time All I know time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It’s so unreal Didn’t look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know Wasted it all just to Watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter

So, in the end, (and within a year) my exam grades will not matter in the least to anybody.

I sleep happy and unconcerned. (Translation: as of 0800 14 June 2005, I do not care!)

Adios
