So today was the day when I felt life was over...

Being blissfully unaware of how close exams are was really enjoyable, if anyone owns a TARDIS and feels like taking me back a few weeks...I would greatly appreciate it.

I know the title of this blog seems awfully dramatic, but today was the day when the fact I have exams coming up truly dawned upon me! I was happily shuffling around Peacocks, tidying and organising, when I just suddenly thought 'wow, by the next shift I will have completed 2 exams' - this is when panic hit me. I FEEL SO UNPREPARED! Yet I know i've done a ton of work and it's not like I failed either Core 2 or Electronics in the mocks! I got a B and an A without any real revision.

Oh well. I'm going to go to sleep, pretend exams don't exist and probably dream about failing everything.

Brilliant.

So here goes nothing...

A friend once told me that I should make some form of blog because I am really interesting; personally I do not agree, but I do agree that you should try everything at least once so why not?

I do believe the general themes of these will be me venting out my frustration of college and A levels - for which I apologise for in advance.

If you haven’t yet reached your A levels, here is just a word of advice - do not take subjects you think are alright, they will torture you for 2 years! I chose Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Electronics. I love the subjects, I really do…they’re just hard. I never thought i’d be reduced to tears on so many different occassions over education.

On a more positive note, I have interesting hobbies which I will probably mention once in a while also. I love Astronomy and reading, they make day-to-day life exciting and stop me from going slightly insane from the pressures and challenges of trying to get through year 12. It does worry me slightly about how hard I am finding year 12, how am I going to manage next year!?

I even decided something a bit crazy, I thought it would be a great idea to complete an open university short science module over my holidays. It's only 10 credits which equates to 100 hours of study and it's called 'How the Universe works'. It does look pretty interesting, even if it does take about 3 chapters to go beyond AS physics.

It is here, now, where I choose to end this first post, due to the fact I do have to get ready for work. My part-time job is working as a sales assistant at Peacocks. So here, have a pretty picture from APOD (Astronomy Picture Of the Day)
