Revision!

Nearing the end of the year now, people with dissertations are probably finishing everything off ready for presentations, but I'm not doing one so have time to start revision. Finished my last essay yesterday after a late one staying up to get it done. Started working a bit harder now, usually 10-7 most days which is nice having the evenings off and I'm on target with plenty of time to prepare for exams. One of them is seen with two questions to answer so will be planning those this week, and learning them off by heart the few days before the exam.
Today me and a friend made spider diagrams for the policing multiple choice exam, as I only have 3 days to revise for that after another exam so trying to do some now.
Everything's on track anyway so will have time to get work done and make the most of the rest of my time in Cardiff as a student!!

Nearly ready to start on revision!

Hi!

So it’s my turn to write the blog this week. It’s the last week of the Easter hols so I’ve been trying to get my dissertation totally finished as soon as possible (I’m trying to be organized!). We have our exam times now so I feel a bit more in control of everything, I’ve finished my education essay already so after this week I have one more essay to do and then I can focus on the exam prep. I’ve been setting myself the task of writing at least 1000 words a day and have mostly stuck to this, my dissertation is a bit short but it’s pretty much done now! I’ve emailed it to my tutor to see what she thinks so fingers crossed!

Week of 31st March - Literature Review

Hello, just wanted to let you know what I've been up to so far this week and the Easter hols. I have found it really difficult this holiday to juggle everything, really don't feel like I'm doing enough work!! At the mo, all I'm really focusing on is the dissertation :s I have finally started writing my literature review!!! I should hopefully finish that today and then plan to have my methodology section finished at the very latest by tuesday next week. Was feeling slightly worried about my policing essay but realised that I've already collected all the reading for it and have done a rough plan. Less than two weeks now till the exam timetable is published which is quite scary!! But will be good so I can start writing up a revision plan.
