Hey Readers!, Sorry I haven't updated my blog in like 2 weeks, I've been enjoying the holidays and just now have found the time to update you all on what the holidays have been like
Christmas
Christmas was fairly much like a normal day for my family, most families all watch TV together or all open presents together but by the time I woke up all the presents were opened but mine my 16 year old sister returned to her room and my 13 year old brother was preoccupied playing his new football game (FIFA 14), My Father was preparing dinner a beef wellington and my mother was just busy watching TV downstairs which just left me on my own, So what did I do on christmas day? I read up on Biology, I bought myself a present a biology book best present I could have asked for.
Interactions
Now originally when I went university I expected all the people I considered close enough to be class mates but not so close i'd see them outside of school would just drift away not expecting to speak to them ever again. This however is not the case I encountered a load of them in Burton Nightclub on the various occassions i've been there over the holidays and they seem suprisigly more friendly and I even got hugs of alot of them :P. Infact about 3 of them wanted to come down to Keele some day and stay with me for a day or two which I didn't expect whether this will actually happen or they are just drunken ramblings we will see.
My close friends that have returned for the first time since going originally, 2 from portsmouth uni and 1 from bangor uni, I've been reunited with and have seen them a reasonable amount over the holidays, on friday we had a meal with them before they went back as they go back much earlier than us at Keele.
Revision
Really the overall objective of this holiday was to revise what I have been taught in lectures, which has been going reasonably well for biology but for maths I could definitley get more in i'm not confident in maths at the moment!, I've done half of the algebra but i should definitley concentrate more on the harder parts. I need to keep reminding myself I'm at uni level so I should buckle down more than A level but that is not the case. During the holidays I also met up with my Biology lab partner who's from Derby which is reasonbly near by and we had a nice revision session which helped loads!
That's all for now I'll post probably next week depending on how concentrated I am on my exams!

Last Days
All my assessment over coursework is done, PCR Report submitted, Feedback from Intro to human bio pratical i've recieved at a 67% which I am very happy with and all my maths tests and assignments are done so that my Algebra is on an overall 62% and my calculus is on a 67%.
Although all my coursework is done and dusted, I still have the fear of Janurary exams so there is no resting just revision! and it is very important I do well first time as I have plans to study abroad next year so need to achieve above 40%
Weekend
Last weekend I was just proof reading coursework, finishing my study abroad application and generally having a pretty damn boring time!. I haven't been to a single Lacrosse session in about a week due it all being optional and me priortising coursework.
Tuesday night to thursday
I had to go home to burton to collect my A Level certificates, I achieved a B in Maths, B in Biology, B in ICT and an E in Critical Thinking a really boring day, although why home I find time goes alot faster and I know I need to come up with a study plan as I will just be lazy if i don't make a plan and stick to it!
How I will organise myself
I find time tables never work for me, I find just always revising a different subject everytime I do choose to revise works best for me and as well as that I find watching a very mediocre programme at the same time as revising will always keep me more interested as i don't get sleepy/bored and I remain interested thanks to the programme
Well everyone has there own unique method of revision, sorry about the lack of exciting stuff but My life isn't very exciting at the moment hopefully it will get better! I should post next week some time peace out loyal fans.

Still Tired!
Why do people in my block hate sleep?
Well after the last post of the blog I was in a pretty tired state and I vowed to myself that this week I would not go out as much in order to get some much needed revision in for a maths test on this thursday, a presentation for biology on the golgi appratus on next monday, sorting out the study abroad statement bursarys and universities i can actually apply to and of course a PCR pratical essay that is due in for next wednesday
I did manage to show some self control to the peer pressure of my block asking me to go out!, so that was good I revised complex numbers that night in mathematics and went to bed at a reasonable time, but then of course the drunken rable of my block got back at about 3 in the morning naturally when i was first awoken i figured i could just sleep it off they'll probably be gone to sleep in about 10 minutes, but no there was them banging on doors of my neighbours which i could hear, them singing/screaming to crappy songs at that time in the morning waking up the whole block and even playing music through the speaker at that hour!!. I did manage to just stay in my bed awake without going out to tell them to shut up but after an hour and a half they still hadn't gone bed at that point someone else in our block came out of his room shouted at them and they all disbanded to their respective rooms so it was half 4 and I was basically just struggling to get back to sleep.
My first lecture was at 9am and my lecturers ended at 5pm and i did have a tiring day the night before as i'll explain below, but by the end of the lectures towards the end of the day I was just getting so tired i may have nodded off in one of the algebra lectures towards the end which isn't good!
Going Home
This weekend I went home to Burton my home town, I didn't spend much time resting as most of the time I was out with my family or friends so I never seem to get much time for rest! That's the one thing I'm looking forward to at christmas vacation being able to rest at home!.
While at home I went to a pub on the night i got home with my family for a meal then Maths revision when I got home, On the saturday I went town with my brother, to try and repair some snapped glasses which failed as they told me I had to buy a new pair :( so i've decided to leave that and i'll cope with my back up pair for a bit as if i got a new pair from burton I would be unable to pick them up by the time they would be ready. Later on the saturday I went out with some friends to a pub for a meal, due to a very' bright' friend though they decided they wanted to go to mcdonalds by the time i've got there which i'm not keen on at all! but after that we went to another pub and played Pool for a bit. On the sunday was playing football with friends and in the afternoon i did actually manage to go on my xbox for the first time since september which was very nice!.
Monday
On the monday I woke up at 7.30 to get dropped off at keele for my 11am lectures which i had on straight till 5, when i got home I made myself something to eat and then i set off to the libary to get my biology essay finished so as you imagine by the time I got home I was so tired anyway!, so at the moment I am feeling very sleep deprived!
Although that was the first time I used keele libary really other than to take out a book and it's a very nice place!, open 24/7 and it's very peaceful and away from the distractions of my block :)
Current situation
At the moment i'm going to further revise for my maths test this thursday and try and get an early night! I have a day off tomorrow as the lacrosse season has ended which means no games so I won't be as tired!.
