Good Luck!

You know its revision time when you emerge from your prison of a room to find all the lights out in your student living room at 9.30 on a Sunday evening; typically prime house bonding time. Theres an tangible tension that fills the house and the only sounds that can be heard are the tapping …

Hallward…We Need To Talk!

      Dear Hallward, I think we need to talk. We’ve had a good run and I’ve been thinking about this for a long time now. I don’t think it’s working anymore. I mean, I have been working but you try and distract me with you vending machines and your swivel chairs and your …

Avoiding Cabin Fever

We all know the feeling. You’ve been working solidly for a few hours straight. Your vision starts to go slightly funny if you look out your window at actual daylight for too long. You check the time every five minutes to see if it’s dinner time yet. You fill up your water bottle only halfway, …

Are U Healthy?

Well this week I have looked like this: And it has felt a bit like this: Apparently Mumford and Sons did a cover of this song –> random. Also this is very true: I want to be a cat…because a cat’s the only cat….who doesn’t have revision. However, one thing I did find time to …

From Baking to Shooting (How long can you hide from revision?)

G.A.M.E

Back!

Guess who’s back? Back again? Sarah’s back…there’s no need for you to inform to your friends, however. Opening the blog with a Eminem reference…I am so down with the kidz – I mean, please take note of the use of “z,” evidently I am some kind of spelling maverick. *shifty eyes* So, as you may …

Distractogram

Isn’t it ironic … that you probably found your way to this blog post as one of your many methods of skilled procrastination; the exact topic I’m going to have a chat about. And the main culprit on trial: social media. We are currently half way though the exam period. I hope yours have gone/are …

I dreamed a dream…

There was a time exams were kind When answers were clear And MCQ’s inviting There was a time when examiners were blind And life was a song And grades were exciting There was a time (KS2) Then it all went wrong   I dreamed a dream in time gone by When free time was high …
