Doing stuff.

[raven]

I've decided to only stay on the net for twenty minute stretches. The logic behind it is so I get more work done. Although, to be honest... I really need to. Do some work, I mean. It finally started hitting me this afternoon. Firstly, the fact revision really does work, which always seemed one of those everyone-knows-it-but-it's-never-been-proven-type things. But seeing as I did revise Chemistry yesterday, and was actually pleased with the final outcome, I think it has now been proven. And then there's the fact we're finishing syllabuses (syllabi?) all over the place, meaning there is nothing to do but revise, and such a lot to revise, too. Ten subjects. I didn't even think I wanted to know about ten subjects worth of stuff, and I know I'll forget it all on June 17th, but I don't this is the time for all that what's-the-point stuff. I can angst about that at my leisure when I get my results. Which right at this moment I don't want to think about.

So... yeah. Work. I have to actually do work. I've never done that before, never in my whole life ever. I've never revised for exams before.
Huh. First time for everything. I hope that includes feeling motivated.

Hee! So very telling. :)

Good luck with your revision (revisions? revising? not sure -- it's a British term :))....

Oh, I know. It's quite cute, actually... little goth girl looking demure and holding a coffin...

Both revision and revising are okay.... :)
Is it really a British term? What do you folk across the pond call it, then?

Yes, your little goth girl is so cute. I think the funniest one is the one for either "cold" or "hot" (can't remember which, but her hair stands on end). :)

We just say "studying" for exams, e.g., "I'm studying for finals this week." I'm thinking maybe "revision" is a more specific term -- does it imply that you go back over all your notes and rewrite/refine them?
