Wow this day is significant for two reasons. It is the last day of September and Richmond won a premiership. Anything is possible.
But in all honesty, I can't believe how quickly the year is slipping by. In two months everything will be done and dusted. Still not too sure what I will do when it all ends, though. I'm not sure whether I'll feel elated or strangely flat. Probably the latter given the intensity of this year.
The holidays have been a good opportunity to gather my usually scattered thoughts. I love making lists... they make me feel so productive
It's hard to say whether my revision has actually been effective or not. For many of my subjects I've actually recorded myself and then listened to it back. It's much easier than continually writing out old essays.
While it may sound bad, I actually haven't started timing myself for subjects yet. I'm really big on quality and so want all my interpretations, understandings, arguments and general thought processes down pat first. This coming week I have practice exams so will be timing myself. Perhaps this will signify that I'm more ready than I think. Hopefully.
I'm also trying to work more on mental preparation. This is, well for me, the biggest part of any revision. It's so important to back yourself, even when everything isn't going as planned. As I've experienced in SACs, this attitude can turn things from the seemingly disastrous to the unexpectedly good.
