It's alllll about soulllll ;op

Well here I am yet again, I am so tired right now and am about to go to bed (10pm) as I have had a tiring day today and want to have a great nights sleep before getting up tomorrow and doing at least 6 hours study.

I am so tired right now that I can't remember when I did my last blog but I don't think it was too long ago, probably a week ago as I do tend to write them on a Sunday though of course it is Saturday night now.

The week has been productive in one sense but not productive in another sense. I have been doing my 4 hours a day of revision every day expect Monday when I did only 2 and Tuesday when I did none. I got none done on Tuesday because I wasn't in during the morning and I was so tired when I got back.
I am finding that 4 hours a day is getting me nowhere with my revision and I am not a happy bunny right now, my stress levels are up and I need to chill out other wise I will end up making myself ill.
4 hours isn't getting me anywhere in all honesty and my first exam is a week on Tuesday, oh how I wish I had started this a couple of months back. I was laughing at someone who started weeks ago and who was doing eight hours a day but I guess the laugh is on me because I am wishing I had the time to spend 8 hours a day on it because I really need it that's for sure.
I find too much longer than 4 hours I start to not take things in and I can't concentrate but I have no choice now to put in 6 hours a day and I can see myself putting in 10 hours next Sunday too because I am just so far behind and I have got about 15% done for A217 and only 10% done for A207. I am way too slow at reading and I need to dedicate more time to this and everything else will have to come second for me now. I plan to start at 9am most days and fit my six hours in between 9am and 9pm. It is do able to fit in 6 hours during those 12 hours, I do find that I can't sit and do more than 90 minutes a time but I do try and to have a break every 40-60 minutes other wise my mind does start to wonder.
I try not to relax too much in those breaks, I do try and fit in my house work and everything else I must do and I am also going to try to get out at least once a day with the dog as fresh air will be good for me and I can do with the exercise after sitting down reading all day, I can tell you that my shoulders and my neck ache a few hours into my days from holding the thick heavy books. I am forced to sit on the sofa and read as there is nowhere for me to sit that is comfy and where I can put my book. Here would be perfect if the desk wasn't so high and also if this chair was a little more comfy. I get backache and arm and neck ache from sitting here but I think that is all down to the height of this desk.
We have a table but that is full of paper work and the chair is so uncomfy, I so need to find somewhere to sit soon anyway as I need to be able to revise for 6 hours a day and I don't think I can manage that for too many days because sitting for four hours holding the books leaves me in pain so can you image 6 hours a day?!!

I am fully signed up for T171 after changing my mind so many times lol. I am such a total pain at times as one minute I wanted to do it and then I didn't and then I did but I changed my mind again and I have stuck to it for three or so weeks now and I am doing it and am all signed up and have the icon and conference on my desktop now and am a happy bunny. I wasn't as happy when I found out my first TMA (assignment) is due on November 2nd as I did have plans on taking two full weeks off study when I finish my exam but there is no chance of that now because I have my last exam on Wednesday 18th October and then I have a week to get about 3-4 weeks of course work done before my friends come up from my birthday, when they go I have a couple of days to do the TMA. I have seem the TMA questions for it and they are simple enough so they won't take my long to do and I shall submit them on my birthday. I don't plan on doing any study on my birthday, I may just spend the whole day in bed (with?? ... hmm well I know who lol but anyway ;op )....lol.
Then my next course starts on November the 1st which is my business studies course that I don't know too much about but am looking forward to it. This work load of two courses should be easy enough as they are only 30 point courses (I normally do 60 point courses) so I should have heaps more time than I do now which I am very pleased about. Maybe an hour a day and then that's it and won't have to pull any three day sessions because I won't fall behind if I do an hour 5-6 days a week...See I have it all planned hehe. I do actually plan on getting a couple of months ahead on them so then I only will need to do some work on them every now and then :op

I am not getting anywhere with those other books I have on the go and I can't be blamed because there is no way I am wanting to read anything after 4 hours of reading a day. I can see me not picking those books up until maybe November when I have my exams etc out of the way. But when I do I am going to be on a mad catch up session because I did set myself a bit of a target of 50 books in 2006 but that was before I spent half of the year ill. So I am maybe up to 22 books so I think maybe I should change it to 35 books in 2006 which is like more weeks than I have been well and I think I will do really well to read another 13 books before the end of the year...It will also be more books I have read in the past 10 years combined because I was never much of a book reader to be honest but this year I got into it and and do enjoy reading books. I won't be setting myself such a big target next year and might say 24 books (as I am 24 - almost) I think that is a better target as I won't have as much time for reading as I plan to have more fun and get out more in the next year as life is just way to short to spend it studying most of the time and in the house as much as I spend in the house.

today I went shopping...Nothing different there. I got to have my drive which I love and my dad said to me tonight"I don't know why you want to drive because all I do it moan at you" and that is true. He is always moaning at me about my driving when I am not doing anything wrong but it just doesn't put me off driving because I like it sooo much. There was one time when I didn't want to drive again because he went too much on at me but the week later I was fine and drove. I just can't get enough of it and I would love to own my own car but I don't think I will be getting one for my birthday, my dad said if he could afford a new car he wouldn't buy it for me he would buy it for himself. I just want a new car more than anything and I will get one some how one day I guess but for now I will have to put up with my dads car.
My reversing is getting great I must point out, I am mega pleased with it. I love my parking skills too but my reversing is the best, I have done it so many times today that I must be crazy but why drive into a space when you can reverse hehe :op
I was looking at laptops today as I am thinking of getting one. I am on here when my dad wants to come on here and he is on here when I want to be on here. I haven't been on here much for the last few weeks and for the next few weeks I don't plan on being on here too much because I don't have the time and I think that even when I do have time I am going to cut down and do other things instead. Anyway my dad and I get into disagreements about the computer as he bought it for me but he keeps saying it is his and moans about never getting on here so I can do without the hassle etc so I think I may get a laptop. I did look at desktops but I have nowhere to put one other than on here which defeats the purpose of this exercise. I wish I had a little space in my room for a little desk but I don't but anyway a laptop is perfect and I think I have picked the one I am after but am going to wait until after my exams and then I shall treat myself I think.
I was looking at Ipod Nano's today and that is what I am getting for my birthday now and I can't decide between the pink and blue one now lol. I like both as much and I must say I am tempted by the pink as I do like pink things now and then like my phone. I wouldn't want everything pink but the little things like a Ipod Nano would look good plus my male friends wouldn't want to borrow it hehe.
We bought a brand new keyboard when we were out today because the original one for this computer was badly worn out. The letters had all worn off the keys and the A had a hole in it. My dad wonders how long it will take for the letters to wear off on this one but we will have to see. It is a cordless one to and I like it and the keys feel good so it didn't take any getting use to.

Right it's 22:40 now, I can't believe this has taken me 40 minutes to type. So I think I shall go and have a nice drink and get to bed and hopefully I shall be asleep for midnight. I will admit that I am not looking forward to my 6 hours a day of study but it is a must and then if I don't get as much done as needed I will go up to 7 hours and then 8 but I won't do more than 8 other than next Sunday when I am planning on doing 10 hours if I can.
