Oops... okay... so I might have left The Blog of Knoll to fend for itself a little bit there. But if its anything like me it probably just enjoyed a bit of time to itself.
So guys, we have reached crunch time. In just over a week from now my exams start... well I say start... its more sort of the beginning of the end of one set which will then allow me to begin another... you've gotta love the British educational system.
Thing is, I actually quite like exams. Extended periods of sitting down to complete a specific task is a good work out for the brain. And that's why I hate revising for these exams. Because when it comes to revision, there is no specific task to complete. You just have to get a lot of stuff in your noggin'. And I dunno what's in there and what isn't. So I end up spending all of my revision time doing something I know how to do which rather defeats the point. Because I quite simply don't know how to revise without wanting to shoot myself...
This whole time when I was supposed to be revising, I have in fact been making myself into a worse person - a liar. Lying about the fact that I've obviously not done any work. That can't be a good thing. Lying is evil, revision is making me lie, therefore revision is evil... think about it people!
So basically, any time I have ever said, "yeah I might not be able to do that because I'm revising", what has in fact happened is I have thought about doing that exact thing I said I couldn't do, then realise I shouldn't do it because I said I was revising and I wouldn't want people to think I was lying. And so the lying continues!
What am I saying here? Well I guess it's advice for all you revisees out there. The long and short of it is, if you're going to revise, do it. If you're not, and are therefore dedicating yourself to failing your exams, don't lie about it to make yourself feel better. Because when you get those exam results, the truth will be there in black and white. Except it won't; because like every other lucky bastard on results day, you won't revise and you'll do really well. Either that or the person who marked your exam was really drunk at the time. But that's still pretty lucky and its the only way I must have passed Geography.
All right folks, time for me to head off now. Maybe I'll do some revision, or maybe I'll ride a pink unicorn... both are as plausible as each other...
