6 signs that I have done too 'much' revision or why Katia will fail her prelims/collections/everything

1. I tidied my room
2. I did some ironing without being asked by my mum repeatedly.
3. I painted my nails pink.
   
4. I paid vague attention while my brother made me listen to music from various people's myspaces.
5. I spend ages on Wikipedia following links and reading up on a range of random topics
6. I am writing a list, wtf?

Yes. I am procrastinating again. I am not very good at revising, because it bores me, no matter how interesting the topic was when I first did it, now everything is just boring. On the bright side I had chocolate cheesecake for dessert and it was rather wonderful. Mmm.

Also I really have no clue how to revise for politcs apart from reading my notes/essays, same with philosophy and reading notes is not exciting or motivating. I want interactive learning, I want to revise with someone else. That would be so much more fun. Any revision pointers are very much welcomed.

selkjhsjdgh that is me through like ALL of exam time. I spent about an hour today doing an intricate colourful doodle on paper I was meant to be making notes on using all the different coloured pens I use to underline important words. D: *sympathises*

Heh, you can tell whether I've been properly revising or not by my margins, if they are covered in doodles (as they often are) then it's taken me ages to write up a page of notes.

Hey, you've got pink nails :D And Wikipedia doesn't really become a timesink until you start editing it...

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

I do! Can anyone just edit an entry? Wow...and to think I trust what it says.

[naughtyhouseelf.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's totes accurate - I edit it! :D

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

Don't revise. Learn. Much more engaging. :P

Works for me!

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

I wish it was that easy. How do I learn things?

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

By reading. Or listening. However you learn best at uni, do that.

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

I do read, I read my notes and it is just so iweylfkjahmDR! I wish there was someone here to read me my notes. That would have been nice. BTW, did you get my text? What happened with Ice Age 2?

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

I thought that was tomorrow?

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

I thought you said friday? I have a friend from Uni visiting me tomorrow, though he is coming in the evening.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

Oh shit, today is Friday. *headdesk* Well, I never got a message from Elanor, so I don't know. Want to go tomorrow?

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

You thought it was Thursday? Heee! Sure, (my brother said it was even funnier than the first one!) though it has to be fairly early.

12.00 2.10 4.20 6.25 8.30 are the times at easyCinema. I can book seats tonight so we're guaranteed a place.

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Hmm. 6.25 or 4.20? Pete is supposed to be coming at 8, so 6.25 might be cutting it too close but it gives me more time to do work. Umm. I'll go for 6.25! Heh, decisions, decisions.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

K. You owe me 4.50.

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Cool. More than V, but still less than anywhere else, yay for EasyCinema! :D

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

I think it equals student rate at Cineworld, but CHEAP FOOD AND DRINK WINS AT LIFE!

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

True. I had forgotten about student rate, but I can survive on popcorn (<333), so all is well.

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

It's a psychological thing.

[sparksandclocks.livejournal.com]

I feel your pain, really I do. I'm having the same problem but procrastinating in a less productive fashion by watching TV rather than tidying or ironing. That said, I've not done anything half as worrying as number four...
*worries about you*

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, so true. There must be something seriously wrong with me. :( Worry not, today I woke up early (read: nine) and watched a Buffy repeat and Two guys and a girl till eleven instead of starting work.

[rachwelian.livejournal.com]

You shoulda done your nails alternating pink and green! Duh!

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Shut up!! ...maybe next time. :D

[rachwelian.livejournal.com]

I was gonna paint my nails the other day, but I couldn't find any black.

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Black nails are all right, but mine are too long and it would look scary.

[hildabeast.livejournal.com]

make posters. with sparkly bits. and colour code your revision (it works!)

i haven't even started revision yet - still doing last term's essays...

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that sounds like a plan..too bad I have only one highlighter. Maybe I should go shopping! An even better plan...and that is why I am going to fail! :D
