I think now that it's been nearly a month since my last blog post, my desire to take a break from studying until September has become pretty apparent.
Soooo what's happened in the past month... Had two exams, Advanced Higher Maths on the 12th of May and Higher Music on the 13th, and TMA 06 due on the 12th. That wasn't fun! My assignment score for number 6 was the lowest yet due to another misunderstanding in the question (to be fair this time the question was considerably less clear than the ethics one was). Been given a pay rise and put on the rota and work FINALLY meaning with any luck by the end of the summer I should be loaded. Been driving a lot, went to Skye for a few days and have been doing very, very little revision. Enjoyed the course though I have, motivation levels have been considerably low recently because I just want to get on with summer - earning money, rebuilding my social life and working out properly again.
The thought of writing 3 essays in 3 hours isn't exactly kicking me into gear.
I've chosen to go with Self, Knowledge and Mind as my 3 books as they feel like the ones on which I'm strongest. I feel like I'm at the point where I could cobble together answers to essay questions in desperation if I had to.
The tutorial in Edinburgh was really worthwhile - I can honestly say that if I hadn't gone I wouldn't have had the foggiest idea of what I'm going to do for this exam.
I'm going to have to get used to the fact that I'm unlikely to do superbly in this exam but I think I can get over it - the experience will have been good for me this year. Bring on the exam...
