It has been a while. So much has happened since my last post. Started a chilled youtube channel (check the video above) and have been distant from the books for over a month. Friends from Australia had began preparation for interviews, pondering over which universities to go for, and asking questions about their next step. I feel as though I've made no progress.. On top of it all, Scribblar had changed their policies and now expects their users to pay to use rooms. Something which should remain free for all. Absolutely appalled by this!!!

organised mess
to my surprise, today i realised that i have to organise when to do practice questions - as i opened a verbal reasoning book i realised it has many many practice tests.. which cannot be crammed into a single day's revision. i had to pause and rethink my revision timetable. its difficult to decide on what you need to do for the day when you have just glanced over the book's cover annd had no idea whats inside!!!! silly mistakes..
though knowing that there is more practice in the book just makes me anxious even more. would i have enough time to go through it all?

3-6 hours a day of revision is blasphemy! :O
so doc was saying that you need at least 3-6 hours a day of revision (and 6 hours of revision definitely on your day off) and i freaked. how on earth are we expected to get this amount of revision a day sorted? today i'm clearing out my megaz0r computer, substituting it with an ultrabook. that guys, is because this laptop has no graphics card, which means no games/movies to distract me. i've also created a revision timetable which this time round i intend to stick to because i can't ever get 3 - 6 hours of revision done in a day, so the only way to do it is to keep things fresh in my mind through accumulative forms be it listening to myself reading a book, or actually reading/practicing parts relevant for gamsat. meh.. it all sounds glamorous now just wait till march x.x ehh will keep a log of my knowledge base here over the course of the year.

this fire
can i complain? i hope i can.. this place is a gamsat log, and so i have something to moan about - sorry in advance! so with my situation at the moment, i'm working 2 jobs, that means i work 7 days a week, each day i work 8 hours + 2 hours of travel (each day) + 1 hour for dinner = 10 hours already gone from my 24 hours. i take 8 hours on average for sleep, this leaves me with 6 hours left. lets say i spend 3 hours a day revising.. where on earth does the other 3 hours go?! ok so 1 hour to get ready for work or 2 hours to wash & get ready for work.. what on earth am i doing for those extra few hours?! when i count them up like this it sounds like i'm using my time productively right? it really doesn't feel like it :/
revision timetable has been just about ok & manageable, but i can't seem to fit any practice questions/essays time in the revision slots. this is really frustrating me. it takes 2 hours to do a paper (section 1 practice) and at least an extra 2 hours going through the answers.. or at least theoretically that is dependent on how much time i could spend looking at explanation for answers.
i've got to do something, it feels like i can barely have any time to revise.. i need to do some practice questions too >.< i don't feel like i'm putting enough time into this, and its all crucial really.. i can't fail this time round, i just can't.

panic
i spent the whole afternoon looking through all my revision material.. what i intend to use and oh my god.. i have so much to get through!!!
so after organising the material into separate sections (based on whats been examined according to acer) i've come up with a list of 22 thick piles to get through. wtf was i thinking last week doing just gcse physics?! i've got so much to get through *panics*
handed in my notice to part time job, theres no way i'll be able to pass without more time devoted to this revision. problem is, i know this won't be enough, i'll need a miracle ahhh!!
