Another Snood's World Su-Tuesday! - Examorama

Hey there intrepid readers!
(just a quick side note, this was meant to come out on sunday! Unfortunately it didn't go through! Enjoy folks!)

We're back after a short hiatus due to the horrible catastrophic phenomenon that is Alien Invasion Exam Week!
Well, for myself, it was two weeks.... Have you guessed the topic yet?
Yes, my 6 readers, I'm going to discuss my life for the past two weeks.

Now, some of you many 5 readers may not know, but i currently attend college ( the British college and not the everything else college... I think....). I'm studying Mathematics, Business Studies, and ICT, as I enjoy these subjects a lot. Unfortunately, however, they don't seem to like me...

I'm in my second year at college, with my first year not going exactly to plan. I scored quite low in most of my AS level exams ( with A levels being split into AS and A2 ).

I came out with a C in maths and business studies, and a D in ICT. This is not brilliant, seeming as my Uni choices ask for anywhere from AAA to BBC. This meant, with my current scores, I wouldn't be able to go to university, which I want to do. I can explain my bad scores with 4 words.

I. Suck. At. Revision.

For my AS exams, I didn't do much revision at all, for the simple reason that I get bored and distracted very easily, and I've had this problem for quite a while. I will start revising ( or revisioning as I accidentally say a lot) and within 10 to 15 minutes, be staring out the window, or on my phone, or trying to train a llama to drive. Unfortunately, none of the aforementioned activites can be classed as furthering my learning in any way, shape, or form.

This Sucking at revision, then led to my bad scores, seeming as I couldn't remember most of my course. This meant that I am now having to resit most of my first year. I could have decided to simply resit my first year, and try again. But, my dear readers, I suffer from something i like to call, "Academic Suicicial-Tendency Syndrome" or ASS for short... yes I did that on purpose.

Anyway, my ASS meant-  i'm sorry im going to have to drop the ASS acronym, for fear of immaturely laughing myself to death...hehe ass hehe...I have a problem

*AHEM* my academic suicidalness led to me deciding that instead of the easy option of resitting my first year, I would instead resity my exams, and at the same time sit my second year. This then meant I would have to do double the normal amount of exams at one time.

DOUBLE. You read it right.

So, for these past few weeks, I have squirreled myself away ( best verb ever) and done as much revision I could do without dying, and sitting my 6 exams over two weeks, with about the same awaiting me in June.

And I'm happy to say it went well ( touch wood )

Other than a few hiccups in 2 exams, one of which I am worried about, I think that i have done a lot better, and benefitted greatly from managing to not distract my revision, and hopefully this will reflect in lots of good marks on the various exams! Lets be honest, its good marks or bust with me...

And thus we come to the end of my rambling, confusing, and probably pointless tale, with my final exam last friday becoming a distant painful memory. On a side note, I get very inwardly stressed with exams... thought you should know.

I should be releasing another post Wednesday, though my scheduling record sort of means that my promises are almost useless. I will however, Endeavour to post some more...Er...Posts...Yeh...

Thats All Folks!

Snood.
