Creeping towards exams

The dawn of exams approaches. The dark night of laziness and apathy is fading away as the sun of the exam period peeps over the horizon. It's time to wake up and start work! And like any morning, I don't really want to. It's not that I don't like exams, I can see their use, I just lack enthusiasm for them at times! I have spent the last week revising and regretting I wasn't.

It's crazy, how can anyone do enough revision? I guess the answer is that no one can. However long you spend on work, you could always work longer. So how long should I spend revising? I guess it's all a matter of rationality and perspective. I am here to work, to get a degree and so it would be wasteful of me not to use my time here studying hard and trying hard in all I do. But at the end of the day, there is more to life. Even if i fail every single module, it's not ACTUALLY the end of the world.

' If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same'

All the same, I think you'd be pretty upset... at least for a while. At least with yourself...

yes you could always do more, but then what kind of a life would you have? like you said tim, there is more.

as long as i know i have worked as hard as i could. with perspective. then whatever happens, i will know if couldn't have been any different.

even if it might feel like it at the time!
