Last semester was, like, totally the worst thing ever

Last semester was, like, totally the worst thing ever. I turned up to maybe less than half of the lectures, was consistency working right up the deadline, leaving revision right til the last second and, I dunno, just generally being what Mr. T would describe as a ‘fool’.

To ensure this never ever happens again I’ve made a few life changes. First and foremost (and I know this sounds unlikely) I’ve decided to do coursework as soon as it’s set. Crazy I know. On top of this, one of those highly expensive ‘project organiser’ books has been purchased from the Students Union shop such that structured notes can be taken on paper. Last semester I couldn’t use my lecture notes for revision, largely because I didn’t go to lectures but also because my notes were on my laptop. Now don’t get me wrong, I realise computers can be fantastic revision tools – but for me, pen on paper just works better. If you’re writing on paper in the exam – which, in this digital age (and on this digital course) is still the standard – I guess it neurologically makes sense somehow.

In summary, I dread my exam grades, and should probably post on here more. With regard to my attitude last semester: never again.
