h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

As you stood on that balcony of yours that evening, you were probably not the only one doing that. Maybe not in your street, or town, or even country, but somewhere someone was probably standing on their balcony with similar concerns. Studying can be a lonely business.

Lonely indeed, and there's always the risk of falling down the balcony...

I would allways stand up there on that balcony and wonder, If I jumped off and maybe broke my leg or something, if I'd get out of the chemistry test, or at least have more time to study

but it starts to get real bad if you can't even take the time or the energy to stand lonely on your balcony... as if you don't even realise that's the thing to do now...
