Exam Blues

Hey all,
the approaching exams are no doubt starting to play on everyone's mind by now, and I am certainly no exception. I think if u are getting a bit stressed thinking about the exams then it is not necessarily a bad thing. I think that a little worry is probably a healthy sign. However, I do not recommend stressing out and having a fit. Hopefully it means that u are at least thinking about doing some serious revision soon (if u have not already started) - especially on the areas that u know are hazy. Therefore, I think a little pre exam stress may actually work in favour (if used to its advantage) - rather being a defence mechanism against failing, a sign of your desire and will to succeed.

Well, true or not, I felt like sharing a thought that helps me deal with the stress in the back of my mind. It works for me, and I know feeling the pinch early is better than later because there is still plenty of time to revise and prepare! So listen to that voice inside your head and study, Study, STUDY!!! This is what I keep telling myself all along to phsyc myself up for revision!

So on that note, I will definitely put the study cap on this weekend and at get revising on some biology and some other selected areas of study. I thought I would also give the naturopath Ginkgo Biloba 2000 a go to see if it really helps with memory and enhances concentration as it claims. I researched some studies found on Pub Med and there seems to be links to suggest that it may work, but no real evidence yet. Anyway I thought I would give it a go and in time I will let u know my findings. Who knows, maybe I will get out of bed easier - LOL!
