The Boy That Might Not Have Been

Hello Dear Readers,

It’s been a while since my last posting (Amanda) and I apologise for that, as you may have gathered from the other posts I am a little lazy. Having said that, I had to share a thought Emily and I had a few weeks ago. Is CG real?

I now imagine you all sitting there and sighing, oh dear, not the "boy obsession" again, but really, maybe he didn’t really exist. A figment of our imagination, the boredom of lectures getting to our head, the lack of males in a Psychology degree, so the deprived Lakes, who share a brain (rumours have it) made up a creature so beautiful and amusing that we felt content and if so, reality came crashing back too soon :(

CG isn’t here anymore, our damned brains lost their power of concieving the beautiful being, and I think we may have caused him to fail the course (woops, sorry CG.)

The flaws in our creature started appearing when he arrived 12 minutes late to each lecture, surely that cannot be possible? but denial hit too soon and we quickly let that thought pass thinking he might live 12 minutes from campus and always left on time, the same attitude kept up with CG not having very many friends, again, maybe he was shy? or liked to keep to himself. The second flaw was when CG stopped coming to some lectures, especially near exam season, again denial didn’t let reality crack through as who knows, maybe he was revising and thought lectures were a waste of him? It's possible. The breakthrough came when CG did not attend any exams (well, one). That is when we seriously doubted his existence, a guy, who comes from Greece to the UK to study, pays almost double the tuition fees as we do, gets into his second year and then suddenly does not appear to most lectures and more importantly exams. Makes no sense, not to mention he has now suddenly disappeared.

Its time to wake up from our wonderful dream of an almost perfect boy. Which is a real shame because at the moment The Lake's are suffering from CG deprivation, and surprisingly Emily is more so than me. Who'd know? But I assume that’s because Emm did try to befriend him.

So The Lake's are having a bit of a glum time at the moment, CG is no longer here, workload is increasing and placement applying comes soon too. On the bright side however, we get Friday's off, wohoo! :D
