Unit one is over!

My days - I am so happy! I've said if I fail everything else, but never have to sit that awful unit 1 exam ever again - then I'll be happy!
Saying that, it was quite a nice paper and there were no nasty suprises or any questions that scared me. The twelve marker was the nicest one yet. The only thing that panicked me was that I hadn't done any practise papers for this exam, and obviously it was my first January exam so I was just worried I wasn't "doing" the questions in the right way or something. But it went as well as expected.
I managed to get a bit of homework done in my frees this afternoon, and then had a psychology lesson. Unit 3 absolutely boggles the mind after you've just done Unit 1 - there is ~so much to learn. I made some little cue-cards last night for my Unit 1 exam so that helped massively, so I'll be doing the same for my Unit 3 which is a week on thursday. My next exam is a week today, and it's my Maths Core 2 resit. In honesty I haven't done much Core 2 because I've been so busy with my psychology so I'm going to try and do a couple of Core 2 papers tonight.
Apart from that I've been "liquid only" since 12 noon, ready for my capsule endoscopy tomorrow. I am still allowed to have tea and soup as long as it isn't "lumpy" so I tried a little extra watery carrot and corriander for tea - yum :| aha.
Was at Drew's over the weekend - had a rest on Saturday morning before I packed and then Mum dropped me off. I had the day off revision on Saturday (not intentionally, I just kind of ended up not doing any) Drew had toothache so he wasn't up to much, but he felt a bit better later on so we went out and he got his haircut and then we went in CEX, (as usual ;)) and I bought two DVD's - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (because it's been ages since I've seen that one and I've only seen it once. I haven't seen any of the ones after that) and Gothika, which I used to have but it disapeared. Really like that film so I bought that one aswell. £4 for both of them - love CEX!
Sunday I banged out shedloads of Unit 1 psychology in the morning - like ten pages of it, while Drew slept. So that was really productive :) Then I came home, had a relaxing bath and went out to the pub with Mum and Nigel, Nigel's son Neil and his fiance Emma. Had some chips - they did not go down well and I was in quite a bit of pain yesterday. Have been suffering a bit with my kidney's lately - they were really bad on friday evening. They settled down but have still been quite sore. My stomach pain was very bad again this morning as well and I've been having more dizzy spells.
Yesterday I went to college, had maths. Was well excited to get my flask out and take some tea to college yesterday (that's the most anal sentence I think I've ever said!). Until my flask broke and I had to fork out for the vending machine, and then carry the stupid broken flask around all day - pfft! Had a really weird spell with my dizzyness + blood pressure and felt ill after maths so I got my brew from the canteent and attempted coke for a sugar rush to perk me up - only, they gave me sugar free coke in the canteen, which was a massive help :|
Perked up a little bit, throughout English and managed to get some of my coursework edited - I finished my first draft just before christmas, but it still needs a lot of work doing to it. This english coursework is so hard - it's really stretching me.
Sat with Jess in the general studies room during lunch - daily lunch time chinwag with Jess is the best :) Then sat in Kazza's classroom to do loads of psychology revision and make my cue-cards for the rest of the afternoon :) Being in Kazza's classes is also pretty good 8-)
Last night I did psychology revision all night :| ugh! I made my cue-cards, revised them, and then got Mum to test me so I think all that really helped me in my exam.
Today was my exam - I had to be in at 8.30, so I had to be up at 6.45 to set off at 7.30 to get there in time, but I did it. Then did a bit of last minute revision before my exam at 9.00. I was out the exam by 11 - unwound for the next hour and tried to get some crackers down myself while I still could. Psychology this afternoon - as said previously. After psychology, headed home and gave a mate a lift home on the way.

As I was just parking up and heading inside Mum was heading out to Booths, so I went with her. Chose some other soup to try at some point and some ginger biscuits to try also :)

I'm nil by mouth as of 6 tomorrow, and we'll be setting off at half 6. I hate early mornings :| Hoping I can just roll into the car and sleep though ;) Going to take some Core 2 and Core 3 revision with me tomorrow and do a few of those.

As for tonight I'm going to finish writing my letters and then do my Core 2 revision. I'll get my bag together and all that, and then try and get an early night. Before that - next cup of tea ;)

Just a note to say that I may be de-activating my facebook for a week or so, due to exams and stuff. I've not decided yet - but I am still around, I will be available on my email h.mckearnen@live.co.uk and on my blog, as well as by phone (though, I may be slow/rubbish at replying to texts but thats nothing new ;))
