I'm the same it started at gcse I wudnt revise till night before and I was fine! But last year I scraped As in history and physics 83 and 85 but no I still procrastinated to the max :frown:

Also I can't revise for an exam I'd I have another one first! I.e bio exam Monday so I'm revisin but I haven't looked at physics yet and it's Thursday!

Best thing to do, go to the library one where u don't know anyone and have some coffee it's the only way to escape distracions :frown:

NOTHING


This is what you'll amount to if you don't do well in your exams.
I feel like this. It's like, I know I SHOULD be doing work, but whenever I sit down to do it I just feel so tired, and it gets pointless because I know that nothing would actually go into my head.
I have been like this since I was about 14, and it's driving me mad. But, somehow, I've got to uni!

:rofl: That's brilliant.

OP, have you got any acceptance letters from unis yet? You could do the above AND put an acceptance letter up too - both the carrot and the stick.


I have been accepted by Newcastle, Liverpool and Cardiff. :woo: But i have been rejected by Exeter :frown: which was my first choice. It hasn't really helped my lack of motivation.

I feel exactly the same way. I have an exam on Wednesday and one on Thursday and I couldn't even think of revising for the Thursday one before the Wednesday one is out the way!

:frown:
Offers definitely help... although in my case they have made me worse as I have a low offer from Hull Business School.

Yeah same, need to get 'the fear' before i start cramming like mad and that usually motivates my work but for these January modules i've been weirdly calm..which is freaking me out, and yes phen i totally agree, have a friend who when does badly goes uhh coulda got an a in that. annoys me beyond belief i want to shake her and say well you've got no excuse..YOU DIDNT DO ENOUGH WORK!
Imangine allll the work you have to revise, seeing it all in my head usually scares me, also think about opening your results and doing awful and imagine getting rejected from the uni of your choice due to bad results :smile:
Good luck OP, go and revise!

If nobody replies to this thread, OP will not need to check for new posts, I guess the OP is procrastinating like the vast majority of us...

Also, it helps greatly to disconnect your internet.

I won't be a partical question, but you need to know that its one of the ways to classify bacteria (other than shape, respiratory requirments etc) and maybe explain why gram negative bacteria turn red (With safranine). Hope this helps!
BTW, do you have any notes on Global warming or How science works (those are the only topics i have covered).
