    (sorry if it's already been done)

    EDIT: It's not the sports video that i focus on. it's the background of the person speaking...(Eric thomas) try this video

    Those fitness videos always make me feel so flabby and lazy :L I procrastinate for a certain amount of minutes on my Firm's website, finding stuff out about the city etc and then that gives me the drive to revise extra hard to meet my offer for about an hour. Repeat until bored! :P

    Ahh :P i ignore the fitness bit and just listen to the person speaking. His message is amazing! it's something we should all know we need to do but for some reason don't

    Exercising on the beach/in a park is fun. Drawing spider diagrams in a dark room alone isn't =(

    Ahh it's fine :P like i said we're all here to help. The way i think of it is. three weeks of hell until exams. i can either spend them working my ass of so i don't have time to worry or worrying which will do nothing. after that i will be free to do what i want for the summer.

    Awww i hate myself too..i have 7 exams and im worried so much and plus im in A2 as well :/ just make a revision timetable so your mind isnt so scattered for every subject and you can cover everything slowly to understand everything and do past papers for each one..and most of all be confident and stay positive ( a bit hypocritical of me as im SUCH A NEGATIVE-thinker ): but yeah i hope that helped

    Re: A level Motivation thread
    Whenever i lose motivation i think of how much effort i put for all the past years and what i've been through to reach this point of my life ,all the time i spent studying for the past 7 years of my life ,and how these two months will effect the rest of my life , i know it sounds boring to revise ,but think about the joy and tears of happiness you will get when you see you got into your firm chose ,how much you feel proud of yourself ,make your family proud ! do you really want to waste two months and regret it for the rest of your life??do you really want too? think about how badly you want this ,and your place is out their waiting for you to get it !!!!! if you work hard now ,you will enjoy your summer holiday .

    Its a simple equation

    HARD WORK + DETERMINATION = SUCCESS !!!!!!

    And yes you can do it ,and come out with A's ,but promise yourself you will work ur ass off and log of TSR ,Facbook ,twitter .

    sigh, i'm in the same boat, i've only revised the ones i shouldn't bother because i have so much space before the exam, i still have lots to do, but for some reason i'm just being lazy and not putting any effort in :'( and the worst part is i swear i'm not bothered!
