The Plan

So exam revision finally tried to start today. I have been snowed under with coursework for the past 2 weeks and as a reward to myself I took yesterday off to chill for one last time before the 4-week slog to the end of my exams. I have 1 1/2 weeks to revise 3 subjects, those being Solid State Devices (Microelectronics to the rest of the world), Computer Communications (Networking models + protocols) and Computer Architecture and Organisation (How processors work). This works out as about 3 days per subject. Which isn’t great considering this is course content from 22hours of classes per subject.

So, I have decided to really try and use the next 4 weeks to change my lifestyle – mainly my waking up time. Generally I tend to go to sleep late and wake early (as can be seen from the time of this blog post). But I am really going to try and invert this a bit. What I would ideally strive to do is change my waking time to about 6.30and my sleeping time to about 12. This would allow me to wake up, have breakfast and get all my affairs set in order before leaving for university or work, or just having some extra time before that days activity. This is especially useful with summer approaching as it stops me sleeping until midday.

I also plan to try and use some of this extra time to blog more. It’s sad looking down this website and thinking that I just paid £127 for a domain that was so barely used over the last two years. As I was (pretty much) forced to renew I am really determined to use the space. The extra time will let me think of some interesting things to talk about, and hopefully over the summer I will blog in the morning rather than late at night. Variety is the spice of life so I plan to try and use it.

I have decided to follow some pretty handy advice I found here and hope it works out. Some determination is required but I think that I will be able to do it. I really am trying to change my life a bit, and I feel that now, before my final year hits, is the time to do it. Attitudes, lifestyles and habits need changing and its time I got off my ass and sorted it.
