Burnout burnout burnout

I've realised the lack of English motivation I've been feeling is probably what people call "burnout", resulting from working too hard without any noticeable rewards (unlike maths, it's hard for me to track improvement in English, leading me to feel as if the work I've been doing is worthless). Its funny; I've done bulk revision (50+ practice exams) for my other subjects, but literally can't force myself to do anything for English. Thus, I've done little English over the last couple of days. I couldn't have done a practice essay/exam even if I'd wanted to, and I'm alright with that, but I've decided to take a gamble and go cold turkey on English on this last day before the exam. Probably not an advisable move, but I think the brain reboot it will pay dividends for me - either way, I'm looking forward to walking out of the exam tomorrow in the knowledge that I will never write another English essay in my LIFE!

I might have a read through some of my practice essays later and write some plans, but right now I'm trying to just stay calm lol.
