    I've been buried in work for the last couple weeks and now I have to get ready for two massive tests on top of it. Needless to say, my org activity has dropped, alot.

    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    So what's your point, college boy.

    It's just as likely that spring has sprung on this side of the globe, and people can actually start enjoying warmer weather outdoor activities.

    Exams coming up soon for me, I'm particularly concerned about my psychology exam in 2 weeks which is probably my weakest subject. I just can't seem to get my head round it, despite putting in probably a good 15 hours + of revision into it so far. To be honest it's the only one I'm concerned about..

    Don't worry about them, seriously when I took them, other than maths I did about 1 hours revision for each subject, now I'm not saying don't revise, I'm just saying don't worry. The papers are so linear and straight forward that as long as you listened in lessons and know how to relate topics to a question you should breeze them.

    Although when you get to AS/A levels you'll probably want to do more work. I actually try and revise a solid 2/3 hours a day now, and to be honest you need to.

    The only thing I am really worried about is Art - I am predicted a C in art, compared with As/A*s in all my other subjects...

    I just can't bring myself to do anything

    As long as your dropping it I wouldn't worry to much about it. Only universities that might care about not having all A's/A*'s is Oxford/Cambridge. Unless your looking at one of them one c will be irrelevant. Of course if you are looking at Oxbridge then you'll probably want to aim for all A's/A*'s.

    Six finals for me next week, but I'm not terribly concerned outside of the business statistics and decision techniques finals.

    Nothing wrong with hoping for the best

    Going on from the my current predictions, I can probably get 7 A* easily, 8-10 depending on if I can improve my two English GCSES and my German from As to A*s, (Not being a native speaker of English is certainly a big disadvantage in terms of learning languages...), but they are still within my reach.

    It would be really annoying if I managed to get 10 A* and 1 C though... Soooooo close to Oxbridge standard but so far.

    Why would an academic person such as yourself take art anyway?

    I've got an exam at six-thirty in the evening next Wednesday.

    Seemed like a good choice at the time... I was pretty good at Art when I was in Year 9...

    Oh yeah, 10 hour art exam next Thursday and Friday - Yay!

    I have tons of exams straight ahead, then work experience straight after, then I have to take time out of my work experience to attend another exam.

    My mates have like 10 hours exams too, photography & art students I feel sorry for, though at least it's broke into 2 5 hour exams instead....but at least there not at a desk, like I will be in a statisitcs exam equaling 150 minutes long in which i will be soooo bored i will smash my head against the table I'm assigned too.

    I did my entire art course within three months. I didn't even choose it as a subject. My mother's an art teachers, and hence I came out of the exam with a B. not bad for three months work. The only thing about your GCSEs, if you scre them up and it affects your life you will go ape at yourself for the stupid mistakes. Like i got a C in Drama and RE. I probably should have tried for the RE thing, and with Drama, I had an absolute idiot in my group and we only just managed to get the C.

    Anyway, I got 3 A*s, 3 As, 3 Bs and 2 Cs. Looking back... I could have tried harder, but now I've got competition for these exams. my friend never turns up and can still beat me in the exams, and now he gets until january next year to do his exams, he's missed out on so much. hence, I've got to beat him.
