Quick Update - January 2015

So, it has been a while since I last posted hasn't it? Since the Christmas holidays I have been caught in a vortex of responsibilities and have been unable to find some time to keep this blog updated. The last almost three weeks have been a steep learning curve and have consisted mainly of me trying to find a way to juggle everything going on in my life right now: work, school, studying, actually attempting to have a life and spend time with friends, and recreational things such as reading and blogging. 

The first week back at school I completely underestimated the sheer volume of work that still had to be completed before the mock exams, I had coursework to finish, tests to take and homework to hand in, not to mention I was working whole weekends so had very little spare time. I also had my open university coursework to fit in. 

The past two weeks have been crazy, I've been on study leave for mock exams which I always find worse than final exams so my stress levels have been at a constant high. When I get stressed I tend to completely avoid the thing that's causing the stressful feelings and procrastinate. Hard. I am the procrastination queen when it comes to study leave and my new-found love of Grey's Anatomy as seriously been fueling that fire. Seriously, in the last month I've watched 10 seasons, bet you thought I was joking about that procrastination queen crap. I haven't even been able to sit down and read properly at all this month so I have only finished one book which is pretty bad. 

I have to say it has paid off though, all the hard work that I put in. Today I got my results back and I'm very pleased to say that I got an A at Higher and a BC in the Advanced Highers that I'm taking. That for me, at this stage in the year, is pretty darn great. So thank's for sticking with this blog and I should be back to my usual schedule this week although as usual I make no promises as we all know how that usually works out.
