EXAMINATIONS.

*SIGH!* recently, I've been sitting my A Level exams. Now a lot of people think pfffft you have 3 exams, I have 11 GCSE's. Righty ho, but people don't take into consideration how hard they actually are!
I really really don't agree with exams at all. To me, they just pile unnecessary pressure onto teenagers, who, lets face it, aren't always in the brightest of moods anyway. I feel I always under perform due to panic and worry, which makes me worry even more because I don't know if I got the grades I needed. Its a very stressful time.
Some people also find it easier when their exams are further apart, where as it makes the whole experience worst to me, because of the wait. Once I'm actually sat in the hall writing my answers I'm fine, its the build up of anxiety and panic that I really really hate. I'd rather just get them over and done with in a short period of time, rather that have as much as a week between them.
Yet another thing I dislike is the time limit. how, HOW am I supposed to plan and write three good quality essays in two and a half hours. HOW! this just seems impossible to me. It would take me a good 4354654332 hours to do that at home under no pressure and time limit. It's ridiculous!

yellow sticky notes will be the death
of me!
I have resorted to writing lines.
how year 7 esque.

Revision. Revision revision revision. How you labour me. can I just point out, that what....7 years of Exams, I am STILL yet to find my 'Revision technique' you know, that mysterious thing teacher ramble on about and assume that you've 'found'. Errrrrrrrm are you sure that exists? really? because I have tried EVERYTHING. Trust me. And the information still doesn't stick in my head. At all. I'm due to sit my last and final (thank god) Exam in my comp/sixth form. EVER. I have literally spent the day learning and learning and learning and learning and learning. And I cannot remember one little thing. 

so basically....Whoever thought 'HEY lets put every student in the most uncomfortable situation, stretch it out for weeks and then make them cram everything into the space of two hours! that will be so much fun! :)'.....well lets just say I DISLIKE THEM.

Happy Birthday Blog, and Welcome Me!

Hello!

so, I guess I should say 'Happy Birthday' to my Blog, as this is my first ever post! I've been a die hard reader of a few.....ok A LOT of blogs over the past year or so, but for some reason never thought to myself 'Hey! Prehaps I should give this blogging malarky a go!'. that was up until recently, where I got a sudden surge of inspiration to write. I don't know what brought it on, I think prehaps its because my life has become so eventful recently, who knows! but I thought, what better than to make myself a little blog, even if I never get a single follower or reader(i'll just pretend your there), its a place for me to write what I like when I feel like it and sort of vent everything that's going on inside my little head.

I probably should tell you a little bit about myself (if anyone is reading this that is, and if YOU'RE reading this....HELLO! and thanks! don't give up yet, I'm sure I'll write something worth while down there!) My name is Sophie as you've probably read up the top somewhere. I'm 18 years of age, of which I DO NOT feel. in the slightest. Yep. if there was an award for the biggest goofball I would win it, naturally. I'm currently in Sixth form, although I wont be able to say that for long, as my last EVER exam is two days away. and I shall never have to return to that place again thank lordy *sniff sniff!* after this, I would rather like it if I got into University and became an even bigger swot. yay! I don't think its the greatest  idea to tell you all precisely where I reside, but I will tell you I'm from South Wales, Britain. 

I'm not too sure what i'm supposed to be saying next... I've had a bit of a mind blank (don't you hate it when that happens!) although it is 11 o'clock at night, so I shall forgive myself! yes, you read correctly! its 11PM. The reason I'm writing this late is because it has taken me bloody hours to figure out how to even make a blog, let alone what I'm going to write about for my début post! so it is turning into a bit of a fail, with me woffling on about nothing. I do have lots of worth while posts planned all stored in a little draw in that brain of mine, and I hope to get cracking soon. Once my last A level exam (kfjdgdfpih) is over on Wednesday, I will have a rather long summer stretched out ahead of me with PLENTY of exciting stuffness going on! I'm  sure I will have time to write about it. There is no real 'Theme' to this blog. Its basic going to consist of what's on my mind or going on in my life at the time. I'm sorry if you find that sort of thing boring, and feel very free to leave and never come back. GET OUT WHILST YOU CAN! heh. 

I better go and attempt to visit the land of nod now, or I will be a grump in le morn. 
 
thanks for reading! x
