Well, I'm back from my weekend, and since I'm gone out of the house most of my weekends. I can officially declare that Friday, Saturday and Sunday are my off days for blogging. Sure, maids only get one, students and most workers get two, but I however, I indulge myself to three.
Well, before the weekend, I mentioned (I think) that I hadn't really felt any stress yet. Well, can't say the same now. I was a permanent fixture in class for doing extremely detailed geography revision and note creating throughout 40 minutes of LA (B), 30/40 minutes of recess, 1h 20 minutes of P Sci Prac, 30/40 minutes of LS. Of course, the time in between lessons was spent improving my vocabulary. Nothing to do with words or challenges or word challenges of course. I mean, my tablet wasn't even on! If you were wondering anyway, extremely detailed means after those 3h of doing it, I only finished creating notes of 5 topics. I am tested on chapters 18-31, meaning that I have 14 to do in total. On the bright side, the detailed note writing means I've already half-memorized everything written down. For someone intending to take geography next year, I guess its quite important for me.
So, I've set up a sort of game rationing kinda thing. So I come home, slack till 5, do the little homework nowadays till 5:30 - 6, have dinner if not do homework till dinner if not slack till dinner, then after dinner is spent revising. This has been due to an onset of stress, realising how far behind otehrs I've been in studying. It might just be how I survive, like while I own others in concept questions because I understood the classes, others own me in memorizing questions. The bad thing is that I have no point of comparison at all. These EoYs are just scarily fast, without warning, but with teachers still struggling to finish their syllabus. During the mid-year papers, most subjects had at least 2 mock tests before the test itself. Sure, many mock tests are given out this term too, but all the answers are put on lms. There is simply no time to do THAT many mock tests and check all of them and be a good student and learn and do well all at the same time.
On exam unrealted news, I have decided that I am going to buy spore after the exams. Preferably during the marking days, but anytime after exams sounds good to me :D However, I don't know if I will be felling happy after all the papers, or diappointed because I know I didn't do well. I was saved last year because the 50% in which I studied for each of the papers was the exact 50% which came out. Was it an intelligent guess by me which was right, or was it just a stroke of luck? I've been transported into primary school more stressed than I should be and thinks too much for own good mode. One thing's for sure, exams have finally taken over my mind completely. And I am not lovin' it.
I'm currently delaying now, for I don't know when to begin doing some history work. This rambling on about everything on my mind for the past few days seem to have a somewhat therapeutic effect, or maybe its just teh music I'm listening to now.
Music. Yet another thing I've been thinking of. With no music, I get distracted easily. With music, I work well for a while then lose concentration totally when I start to get bored. In both instances, I ultimately fall asleep. Bad me. However, it seems that the best time for me to study is early in the day, when I am in school. The bad thing is, I'm in school so there's no time to revise. Which leads to why
I was pleasantly surprised in school today. Most of the periods were free periods, with music allowed. The perfect environment for me (early in day, bright lights, music, air-con) which could never be created at home, it seemed. It was wonderful. One more day like that, wednesday to free study and its the exams already. Judgement day after judgement day, a series of unfortunate events. Can't wait.
Well, I'd best be doing some real studying instead of talking nonsense forever and ever.
Signing out,
Thats all.
