REVISION PLAYLIST //

I talked about my extensive Spotify playlist listening while revising in my last blog post, so I thought I might put the playlist on here so you can have a look/listen to what I sing to while attempting to learn whether it was politics or religion that was the biggest trigger in the start of the English civil war and whether the religious reformation was in fact completed when Elizabeth passed the Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity or, if Oliver Cromwell was right in saying that more needed to be done. Interesting, no?! If I am totally honest with you, if I wasn't so stressed because of the little time I have to revise, I would actually enjoy reading over what I've been taught this year. I do enjoy it now but I am more concerned in ploughing through and remembering everything more than anything else. But, as I repeat over and over in an attempt to convince myself that it's true, I can only do my best and work my hardest. 

I add tracks to this playlist on an almost daily basis as I procrastinate from my work, so be sure to follow in order to keep up to date with my revision playlist // My favourite at the moment is Dynamite Hack's cover of Boyz in the Hood. 

REVISION

It's that time again when I spend the majority of the day attempting to organise and learn everything that I have been taught over the last few months in preparation for my 5 exams that start on the 29th of April and end at 5pm on the 12th of May. This year seems to be much tougher than any other when it comes to sitting down and revising. I'm usually really good but, I don't know, it's still early days - I might (hopefully) get in the groove soon.

There are a few things that I see as essentials when revising so I've listed them here:

// Water - lots and lots of water
// Breaks - even if it's just two minutes to watch a clip on youtube
// Music - I listen to Spotify around 6 hours a day when revising
// Coffee - self explanatory!
// Highlighters - makes the work look more fun
// Rationality - don't stress yourself out too much and don't set yourself unattainable goals (this one I'm still working on)
// Exercise - make time to go out and move at some point in the day, it doesn't have to be in the gym - go out on a walk or a cycle and get some fresh air!

Have fun and work hard people - it'll be worth it in the end.

SUN FOR DAYS

Last week was soooo sunny and hot. Most days I would revise in the morning and then I'd go for a walk before lunch and continuing my revision and every time when I'd arrive home I had to change in to my shorts because it was just so warm outside. Everyone was wearing their shorts, dresses and vest tops and sunbathing! It was a nice distraction from uni work and a nice way to spend my revision break out in the sun! Our whole block took our blankets out and spent the afternoons in the sun reading magazines, revising and drinking some Pimms.

 We also went to watch Iron Man 3 after my exam on Wednesday Evening. It was awesome! Like really awesome! I love Robert Downey Jr. On the way out of the cinema I saw Sulley and Mike. Love these guys! Looking forward to the new film!!!
