Today was the last day of my exams. Now these exams weren’t that important, they were only end of semester ones and I didn’t have them for every module. The point is they are done. While I was doing them I have pondered about how I prepare for an exam. Most of the time I like to do as little as possible. My interpretation of this for my morning exam today (well, yesterday now) was to have a lie in. Did I get this? You have to be kidding. Today the first words I woke up to go as follows, “Shit! The TV is on fire”. These were shouted by my dad from the lounge at about 7:10am this morning. I made what must have been my fastest exit of my bed and made it downstairs (I think all of this happened in under 5 seconds (I know I only touched one stair on the way down)). I made it into the lounge to see the TV indeed on fire and helped my dad pick it up; while ripping plugs out of the wall and preceded to help get it to, and out of the front door. I then scampered up to my room and climbed back in for what turned out to be only a 10 minute lie-in. Suffice to say, conversation at breakfast revolved around what TV to get next.

For the interested, my brother turned on the TV, it went bang, smoke, flames, fire….

Oh, and I think the exam went well.
