days until first exam: 62
days until PD hand-in: 9
panic mode: 96
Came back from the training weekend tired, blistered and late, so not much revision got done.
Being reminded how soon my PD has to be handed in is scary and I'm not sure what to do except really sort it out this weekend before the next-Friday deadline. I have a lesson tomorrow but I'm in a semi-stressed position still. Tomorrow I'm going to try to start 3D-printing my final pieces. I know it's late to be finishing off the actual product and I should have done it before but I haven't so I'm a bit stuck now to be honest. I'm also worried that I didn't design enough possibles for the initial ideas section so I think I'll draw some more out and colour them as best I can. Thinking '2 months until my first exam' is also quite stressful, and on top of that my English language orals are a fortnight on Friday!
I really thought I'd gotten my stuff together as well - planned some past papers to do and printed them out. I'm currently sitting in front of a past B1 (biology) paper and trying to learn the carbon cycle so that's something that'll be good for the future, even though it might seem a bit of a waste at the moment. I've already done a C1 (chemistry) paper and have a physics one, a German one and a French one lined up as well as a physical geography paper (yay).
I'm also going to try to mind-map the development topic in geography ready for my test on Friday on a piece of A3, if I have time. It took quite a while for the population topic so if it takes longer than normal for the past papers, I might just do practice questions instead.
Ordinarily I would be going to learn cornet today, but as it takes up so much of the evening, it's getting skipped today. I know this doesn't fit in with my original 'revise with fun stuff too' philosophy but I guess at the moment there are other things I have to put above learning the cornet. Including going to cadets, I spend 3 evenings out of 5 school nights without the extra revision time, so I'm considering stopping with one of the evenings. It's a hard decision though
