Sup guys, I'm back!! My family and I drove up to spend a couple of nights in a youth hostel in York, looking around the city, seeing the sites, eating ice-cream and visiting my mum's old university campus. Aside from a major lack of sleep due to those wretched bunk beds, I really enjoyed myself. I would really recommend taking a day off this holiday guys, just having a day when you do nothing at all. I found it really refreshing and I'm (kinda) ready to get back to work now!
However, having had a break, I'm now petrified about not being ready for the exams. I feel insanely guilty, I should've definitely started revision earlier, but I didn't because I thought it would be 'weird and nerdy'- to quote my beloved classmates. Now I am regretting it, because the people who told me I shouldn't be revising, are the ones who are going to do badly anyway. I want those As and A*s, and I think that I've been slacking a bit, because people keep telling me I'm clever and don't need to revise. Those people do not know me at all.
The other thing that is stressing me out, just a teeny bit, is how bad my school is. It's 'Needs Improvement' Ofsted, and it just all-round sucks tbh. No-one studies, the teachers barely care, I have to tell them about stuff like using the specifications etc. And then you look at someone like Eve Bennett, who got 11 A*s, and her school is pretty great. So I'm scared as heck about that.
Anyway, enough about my moaning and freaking out, I have got stuff to do. Today is still like a half-holiday for me, we only got back from York a couple of hours ago, so I'm definitely still chilling, but I'm also going to finish off my B2 notes that I didn't finish last session, and review everything I learnt in Biology (probs from about 4:30-6).
Good luck and may the examiner's be ever in your favour!
