Post exam boredom?

Yeah, really need stuff to do.

Its just amazing how we've spent the last 4 months revising, the last month wishing for more revision time before the exams and a whole month having ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do. Lol :biggrin:

I don't like being productive so I decided to watch some new tv :biggrin:

just search on some of the forums about favourite tv shows and see what's popular :biggrin:

I found game of thrones because of that and I don't regret it ... it's basically taking over my life I've got the 1st season on dvd and on repeat and ordered the books :biggrin:

I joined the gym! I'm not over weight but pretty unfit so I've been going there around 4 times a week and doing work out DVD's at home. I've also dug out my Desperate Housewives boxsets and I'm gonna watch them all starting from the beginning. Been on a few road trips with friends and I also have a part time job which helps!

I'm going to try to find a job but I'm not too optimistic as my only work experience was as a teaching assisstant and I'm shy. I may end sorting out everything in my room 10 times and ready books I intended to read but never got around to reading. It's awful going from not having enough time to revise during exams to having next to nothing to do.

Starting today, I am trying to get into a routine of going to the gym, blogging, vlogging, working and meeting friends.

I want to get an order to my life.

haha I tried learning Russian, I've forgotten most of it apart from yes/no and 1-10, my name is.

I think learning Russian is harder than what im learning (Swedish)
Don't they have a different letter system?

I've found the following have gone some way to relieving boredom

- Practising accents from around the world
- Absent-mindedly placing relatively important items in peculiar places so that I have to spend time finding them
- Plaiting my hair
- A 'disorder a day'. Reading about a different rare mental disorder/syndrome each day

If things are getting really bad then occasionally I'll switch the TV on and tune into 'channel line-up' on channel 996 on Sky. It involves an audio of a man dispassionately reciting every single channel on Sky.

Try to get a job anyway, I was really shy but getting a job has definately improved my confidence :smile:

I also only had work experience at a primary school and everyone has to start somewhere!

I feel the same way too...Promised myself to learn how to ride a scooter after exams but sadly haven't gotten myself to do it yet :redface:

Practically rotting at home :bebored:

and outing with my friends are the only thing I look forward to because I don't have to stay at home and mope around doing nothing. I know it is a bad habit to be unproductive so I'm trying to do something useful in my free time...

I've decided to waste my summer attempting to become a chess grandmaster. Been fairly amusing so far.

I'm doing that too!

Aside from looking for jobs, I've been doing a lot of drawing / painting. Although I think the time I get to spend doing that will decrease as I'm prioritising learning a language, which will either be Russian or fluent Ukrainian.
