How I'm Surviving Exams

Hello. I just wanted to let you know how i haven't managed to run away from all the stress yet, and how i manage to make every single day of study leave worthwhile. Well firstly, i don't let little things get to me- you will never see me crying about how i look. If you work hard for something, you'll achieve it. I mean yeah i might not be happy with the way i look but if i'm the one who hasn't done something about it then its my own fault, which is why i would never cry over it, knowing that something can be done to change it. I don't let one thing bring my whole day down either, i've learnt to be happy after i feel down. Things such as rain and chocolate help, don't ask me why but they make me hyper, and when i get hyper i forget everything. Another thing, my revision is more important to me than becoming an internet star. I want to be a doctor, no scratch that i WILL be a doctor! I do get distracted a lot by the internet, like all other teens, but i've learnt to turn my phone off and forget about it. All i concentrate on is my work, and when i get distracted (this is something i got from one of my friends) i think about my future- firstly about what it would feel like to pass, then what it would feel like to fail. And then i seem to concentrate (if only a little) better. Oh  and revision actually isn't all that bad, forgetting about your wordly worries for a while and just concentrating for a couple of hours on something like how x-ray machines work is actually quite good, because i'm actually learning while forgetting the things that make my head ache. I also found out today that i concentrate better when i'm happy, as today was the first time i listened to the whole album '+' by Ed Sheeran. That man is amazing. There are not enough words to describe how happy that album makes me feel. I was just listening to 'This City' and thinking 'wow i'm actually happy' and i didn't get distracted... Until my ears started aching from having headphones in practically all day and i had to take them out (i'd play it out loud but i don't want my family to hear it because they'd judge), and when i got distracted (i turned my ipod touch on) i didn't go back to work until my dad came in and tested me on some history, but that's not important right now. I set myself goals for each day, goals which i would love to be able to achieve and i would if i worked really fast, but goals which i only half-achieve (the reason for this is because if i set myself goals that i can achieve, then i'll achieve them then will know i should do some more but i won't, because i'd have achieved the goals for that day, whereas if i set myself goals that i can only half-achieve in a day then i just keep working into the night until my parents force me to stop). These goals help me keep track of what i am doing and what i should do next, because i can't concentrate if i don't know what i'm doing next. Anyway, those were a few things that help me get through the exam period, good luck to anyone reading this who has exams (i know no one reads this but still). 

Love, nozzles. 

Exams make me sick

Hi
So yesterday I completed my religious studies and french education completely-in plain words I did my RS and french GCSE. It was okay. I won't tell you about it in too much detail because it's over and I really couldn't care less about it. However after I got home after my french exam yesterday, it dawned on me how yesterday was only a starter and that I have 20 more papers to drag myself through. The first four papers (both subjects had two papers each) left me feeling more tired than I had been in over a year, and I still have a lot to get through. I have no idea how i'm coping with all this pressure. It's not the exam itself that I mind, it's more the thought of getting those much dreaded results. I mean i'm fine just working my butt off and emptying my brain onto a few pages which will ultimately decide part of my future, but the thought of seeing the results of my (hard) work is enough to drive me insane- I mean what if I don't get all the A*'s i'm aiming for? What if I answered the question wrong, or was one mark off or didn't even pass? What then? My hard work gone down the drain is what. I really hope that doesn't happen.

Hi, I'm really stressed right now

Hi, I know I haven't updated in forever and i'm sorry but you know how it gets being a teen and all and you have these stupid exams pulling your shoulders down? Yeah story of my life right now. I have like no time ever to take the 16th year of my life slowly, because if i'm not revising, i'm either sleeping or eating or doing something important. Or tweeting. Tweeting has become a major method of procrastination right now for me, and tumblr too. I just really like expressing myself on twitter and to be completely honest I really don't care what people think of me because it's my twitter and it's like my personal diary but a little less personal. Tumblr is just... well tumblr doesn't have a definition in my head because it's so amazing. It's like my little world where I just don't see judgmental people and I can reblog whatever I want. Oh and music is really helping me to get through this stress, it really helps because you don't have to think about it, it just flows. Anyway, I just came here to tell you I'm still alive, I'm stressed because of these stupid GCSE's and that I have my summer holidays coming up after the 19th of june (it's usually 19th of july but I get study leave so I don't have to come into school unless I have an exam and technically I get my summer holidays from tomorrow seeing as how tomorrow is when i go off on study leave, but i don't count it as summer holidays until my last exam is over). This year my summer will be 2 months and 2 weeks long, whereas usually it's only 6 weeks long, and if i count the days when i have exams it will be 3 months long (oooo!). I'm actually really excited about summer because i will have my gcse's out of the way and I can just draw and paint all day and hopefully find some work experience in a hospital nearby (i really need to get some work experience sorted because i want to show off to medical schools that i will be applying to at the end of my education). Anyway, right now i'm listening to some songs by The Ready Set, I really like that band. You should listen to Love like Woe (is it coincidence that Love like Woe just came on?) and Hollywood Dream because they are my favorite songs right now. Aaaanyway, I should probably go and finish the history past paper that I just started and then I got distracted. So yeah, I'll really try hard to blog in the summer because I will probably have tons of time then. And if you're reading this, I love you for reading my blog (even though i doubt anyone will read this because I haven't updated for so long)
Love nozzles
