I was hyped up for this half term to change everything, sort my workload out, start my revision, but surprise surprise its Friday and i have done nothing -.- I get annoyed with myself but i know i need to start soon otherwise im gonna fail my alevels, did visit Nottingham Uni so that added motivation to revise but as soon as i get home its just like meh, ill watch tv. I do get annoyed and im giving myself this chance to start over on Monday when i go back to school, ive set up a few things and i do think this Monday will be my last chance to actually save my alevel grades :L


Are you me?

no seriously, I failed to revise properly over half term (laziness and some large events), went to nottingham uni, got motivated and have yet to do anything (hoping to at least get organised tomorrow ready for term start).
If you consider revising to be learning then I need to do a lot of that!Been procrastinating.I've got 4 offers need to meet them all!

I am totally guilty of doing this, instead of revising and refreshing my notes I've just realised all I've done this half term is literature coursework, and so far it's all waffling... Not a good position to be in I must admit :eek:
I need to make a timetable for this term.

Same dude!

It was amazing!! Well for engineering anyway :P I loved it and the day definitely made my decision to now firm Nottingham!! the campus is lovely, attractive and new, the students union building is new and all the halls that we were shown look good! The day definitely helped me make my mind up on my choices! What course are you planning to study?

Oh, ouch :L hmm i know the law school is very good in Nottingham uni but im an engineering person which is why Nottingham is definitely the top choice for me atm. Go to a post app undergrad open day and maybe see for yourself? No matter how much i say how amazing the uni is on here, it is always better to see for yourself!! Im from Nottingham myself anyway so i know the city is great aswell, that i can tell you for sure, good nightlife and is just nice in general!

I've completed most of my notes.. Now i'm practicing past papers and going over them every day.. most of my subjects are essay based so i'm busy making essay plans and revising them..
Trying to revise, but I seem to not be able to persuade myself that I can play all the games, watch the shows and do everything I want in the summer instead than now. I dont think I like this deal that I said to myself, nope nope nope
Getting to the stage of remembering stuff, not really having to prepare for lessons... just gotta keeping finishing homework, and tie up loose end (and play tons of cricket)
Plus some bedtime reading

Ah, im opposite, im all exam and past papers but its alot of learning for chemistry and physics despite the past paper practise :L
Had my mock exams for Advanced Higher two weeks ago, Got a B for Maths and for Chemistry. Really didn't expect that, considering I was in hospital for a week before the prelims.
