May 8th 2006
May 8th 2006 is the date on my calender that is looming ever closer. Every day the hours left until O Levels begin are diminishing, and yet the real pressure doesn't seem to have hit me at all. With hours spent at home doing, lets face it nothing, every single day for the last week, methinks I could have mustered up the effort to at least get something done. Instead I have been reduced to feebly flicking though my chemistry notes (chem is what everyone is supposed to be most afraid of right?), fooling myself (as well as my trusting parents) that I am actually studying. With an attention span for this kind of thing that is considerably small, after every 10 minutes of studying i end up taking a 45 minute break and legging it to the computer :-) What to do? A week before the exams I will be paying for it.
Lucky enough to have parents who let me do pretty much what I like, wherever and whenever I wish to do it and give me the responsibility to look after my school work (which I usually do), I just made myself look like I take advantage of them. That is definitely not the case most of the time, there just needs to be a sense of immidietness (is that a word?) for me to get up and do something productive. Up till now this has always meant night before cramming. Somehow I don't think that's going to work this time and I'm starting to wonder when this immidietness and urgency is going to finally desend upon me!
Dreaming of the 26th of May...
