What to do on a rainy day?

Lovely weather doesn't last for long in England! It's my first real day of study leave and the sun has realized it's not in Spain and went away...

So what to do today? I guess i really should try and do some hardcore studying, my hell week of exams is coming up in about a week and a half! However you should never study too much or your brain will pop; the best way to study is to do it in small bursts. 45 minutes is the perfect amount of time then you should take a 15 minute break (I sometimes take an hour oops) and then you will get tons of work done!

I promise i will stop chatting about how much studying and work i have to do soon but hey ho. Goodbye for now!

First post!

Lots of work i should look over on this lovely sunny day!

Yesterday I left school for study leave and i am currently fretting over the 45 minute science exam I have to endure tomorrow afternoon. Although the majority of my high school memories are not so pleasant I am sad to leave; the thought of never wearing the itchy sweaters and pleated skirts is sad in a way but overall i am so exited to start sixth form college!

However i still have to finish off these horrible exams first, whilst most of my friends are doing about 10 I'm lucky enough to have 15. I'm slap bang in the middle of the exams at the moment so i only have 9 left to do, I wish that they were spread out more though as soon i get to do 5 exams in the space of 4 days, i'm calling it my hell week. 

The thing i'm most scared about is forgetting everything right before the exam, for example I'm a history student, and a good way to earn marks is by saying the precise dates to show your own knowledge. I can remember a good few that, with my luck, are not going to come up in the exam. Remembering all the others are quite difficult and i'll get confused between them probably... 

I'm searching for good revision techniques to remember them, in school my bio teacher taught me something called "pegging" that people use to remember large amounts of numbers, for instance people who cheat in casino's or memorize people's credit card numbers. In a way it does work as i can remember about 3/4 of the 15 digit number he gave the whole class to memorize so it must be okay to use for four digit numbers!

Here's what you do: create a story using the numbers so you remember them in the right order. So for example the number 542198 "there was a woman counting back from five but she forgot 3, but that's okay because she's 98" it's easier for your brain to recall the numbers this way, i don't know the science bit but it does work!
