Exam Journals: Day 1

By Kat


It's that time of year again. Exam time. Prepare for two weeks of hair-tearing, pillow-shouting, head-banging fun.

Day 1:
Attempted to study over the long weekend. I should be prepared...right? Right?
But...Youtube. But...TV.
Maybe just one more video.
One hour later:
Okay, work! Attempted to look at geography today. Wrote a paragraph about basaltic plateaus even though it's probably not going to be in the exam. Ah well. Moving on. What...on earth...is a batholith?
Wait a second, I still have homework to do! Why do these cruel teachers still insist on giving us homework one week before the exam? And I have three assessments before the actual exams even start?
Finish homework then you can start revising! All you need to do is finish this context piece, write the statement of intent, finish the science report...this is going to be a long day.
Okay, focus. Study buddies! Study buddies help! Okay, hightail it off to group study.
Two hours and a jar of pistachios later:
Work! Work! Define these geography terms! I can do this! I know this!
Volcanic plug...dyke...sill...batholith...secondary cone...crater...hot springs...geysers...tuff...
Tuff. Hehe. That's a funny word.
Back to work. Time to answer some geography questions.
Q: What is an eruption?
A: When magma goes bam!
Good job, partner, that answer is genius!
Now...
Q: What are earthquakes?
A: When tectonic plates meet and go bam!
Q: What is a divergent plate?
A book written by Veronica Roth turned suckish major motion picture...and plate, of course.
Now to get onto Englis...
You know what, enough work for today, let's watch some more Big Bang Theory.

As you can see, today was a very productive use of revision time. Good luck to all those preparing for their exams, and I sincerely hope your day was more efficient than mine.
