Tempting fate with all my bludging... I'm doing everything else in english as an excuse for not writing practice essays 8 hours a day...
Feelin' guilty.

Right now I am overcome with immense feelings of irritation more than anything else. This has stemmed from the fact that so much is happening this week (my school's Yr 12 outing all day tomorrow, graduation ceremony on Wednesday night, a 4-hr shift at work on Thursday night, etc) when I would have much rather preferred to have the entire week to get myself into gear for the exams.

To top it off, my parents have arranged for a builder to come each day for the next 2 weeks to renovate our kitchen...yet another (very noisy) distraction I don't particularly need. The irritation is overwhelming...luckily I'm not the kind of person to snap and just flip out...OR AM I???

Bring on November 15th!

Mainly at this point its all just constant procrastination.

'Oh, i cant do any practise essays, cause i dont know if they'll be any good. I should take it to the teacher on thursday, then i'll start them all on Friday'

hehe, thats the way the cookie crumbles. Hopefully, this weekend will be non-stop essays. 12 hr days, non-stop essays. WOO! Let's go.

In the words of The Rock "Just Bring It" :mad:

I personally feel like quitting. Minai, I personally congratulate you on having that much dedication and focus to be able to do so much work, I do 5-6 hours a day and I am feeling like crap. I just want to get this all over and done with.

i've only really studied business. i plan to cram for english since i do better cramming quotes and that. i can cram for ipt coz it's still in my head and it's "my subject". i can work on some maths the end of this week and next weekend (since i know i'll bomb in maths). then i got a whole 1.5 weeks to study for physics and actually learn superconductivity (which none of us get and didn't learn properly during school). :D :rolleyes:

Thanks Lazy,

As for funkydishs way of studying. I'm very similar

I spent the first 2 weeks doing 3/4 Unit. Then 4 days doing IPT, then the last week doing non-stop english. I will then have 1 week to study for Physics IN the HSC.

It seems tha i have a lot of time, and there is no purpose of me studying 24/7, maybe its just me.

Average of about 4 hrs per day, compared to people who do 10, I dunno
