ARGH I've overdosed on relentless (for readers who don't know what relentless is, 1. you haven't lived and 2. it's only an energy drink, don't worry), AND I'm actually going out of my mind.
Day one of study leave began with me getting up at the reasonable time of 8:30, only to be ready by 10:00 because i got somewhat sidetracked by Jeremy Kyle. It was at this point that this study leave reminded me a lot of GCSE study leave, in the fact that daytime T.V. which I normally find repulsive, actually becomes vaguely interesting.
Although I am actually trying my hardest to revise, there are a lot of distractions that during my 20 minute breaks here and there are trying to extend to 20 minute breaks, for example, writing a blog. However, I am persevering and after some self testing this morning, I'm starting to get somewhere with French. Which makes me very happy indeed. :)
So to commemorate my celebration, I've given myself an extended 40 minute break, hence undoing all of my good work. This is what makes me laugh about myself, I'm very self critical and when I do find flaws, I just leave them be and don't try and work on them. My excuse for this is that I'd rather be flawed than perfect. The real excuse is, unfortunately, laziness.
But I digress. Back to the point, I can see why my school have dramatically shortened GCSE study leave now. Because for me, study leave was 'go to Walsall everyday and spend an excessive amount of money on domino's pizza and maybe take the odd exam'. (Side note, Walsall is where I used to go with my friends of a weekend, and my spellchecker doesn't recognize it. What's funny is the correction it's giving me is 'Walhalla', which I'm pretty sure is some Scandinavian language for 'Hell'. Which, Walsall funnily enough is.)
Anyhow, I digress again. During this short time of study leave I've had (3 hours), the urge to simply not revise is simply horrible. During GCSE, the majority of people don't really take in just how tough it is at the time, and I know that if i wasn't going to 'Walhalla' everyday and actually revising, then I could have got some really good grades, rather than the average ones I did get.
The only 2 thoughts getting me through this at the moment are summer, and the world cup. I know I bang on about the world cup far too much, but I'm genuinely excited. 20 odd days now!
And this ties in with me being excited for summer, because I've got a very funny feeling that this summer is to be a good one. The past few have ended in disappointment for me for one reason or another, so this one stands a god chance of being a lot better. I'm kicking it off by going to center parcs with my best friend in the world, and hopefully not as much fat is coming with me this time. One of my distractions, horribly enough, is exercise.
Anyhow, that's today ramble almost over, just got a song to show you guys :)
Today's song is 'Just A Day' by Feeder. This is a great pick me up song, so if you're in the same position as me, studying for exams and bored out of your mind, take a few minutes off to listen to this song, it'll pick you up a lot! :-)
Check out 'Just A Day' Here!
'How come we've ended up like this? Whose gonna catch me when coming down to hit the ground again?!'
