Exams: The End is Nigh

3 exams down and 5 to go!

I've managed to get through all of my AS resits, which I feel like have gone better than last year (I hope it's not bad luck to say that!).

Now on to the A2 exams... to say that I'm nervous, would be an understatement. But the end is now within our reach, so let's keep going!

Good luck everyone!

Lacking Motivation

After doing 6 hours of revision a day for the past 2 weeks, I've lost my motivation. 

I don't know whether this is because I can't see the end or because I haven't actually given myself a chance to stop and give myself a breather. 

Because of this I gave myself the day off yesterday and have lightened the load of revision for today, so that I can sit, read and have some time off. 

We're only human, therefore it's okay to lack motivation sometimes. But to keep us going let's think of how proud of ourselves we'll feel when we do well in our exams!

Revision

It's coming up to that dreaded time of year again and unfortunately we can't just hide under the duvet and pretend it's not going to arrive (I really wish we could though). 

I thought I should tell you how I'm planning to get through my 3 week long Easter revision period. 

I'm attempting to get up quite early, 7:30am to be exact (and trust me it's a struggle), so that I can get a walk in before revision starts. I thought that getting into the fresh air, and doing some exercise, might "blow the cobwebs away" and motivate me for the day ahead. 

Following my walk I have breakfast, sometimes just cereal or, if I have a bit more time, a cooked breakfast! I then start working (I won't tell you my whole timetable or we'll be here all day!) I take regular breaks between my hour sessions to hydrate myself and refresh myself. I have an hour for lunch where I can go outside or watch some TV, but most importantly eat!

The main reason for me starting revision so early, is so that I can have my evenings free to spend with my family, boyfriend and friends. I think it's important to have some time in the day not doing much, or you'd most likely go insane and start shouting random facts at people (please say I'm not the only one who does that...)

I hope you all have a very productive Easter holiday, but also get some time out to spend with family and friends!

Here's a happy elephant to make you smile during this tedious time of year!
