Problem of Exams

I have to admit due to my experiences, I have been able to manage my time efficiently but I always hear the constant echo of “You’re working much too hard”. I reflect on the studies this year and whether it would have been possible for me to achieve fifty two out of seventy in my philosophy test? Me thinks less lazing, more work – yuck that sounds awful. In my opinion, I feel I have done a substantial amount of work this year – but now reluctantly it is time to increase my workload.

The Christmas period: November to the end of January is the hardest period where A Levels are concerned. One begins to get de-motivated and forgets what they are working towards. A couple of days ago, I had a bout of this which soon passed… School, home, home, school, and work and so the cycle goes on.

However others have not been so fortunate, such as Sarah who began to suffer from depression early into her A levels and God only knows where she is now…

 This period is a struggle for me because deadlines have to be met – plus I have to continue to revise the topics so that I do not forget them. Hopefully all of the work will benefit me in the long term – but all I can do is believe and hope.

No rest for the wicked.
