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.
