Exams/Revision Whinging

[CONDOR]

It is funny, in my day (here we go grandad is off again) we didn't have course work, we just turned up on the day and it was pass or fail, when it was introduced, it seemed to be a really fair way of getting a qualification as it gave anyone who was rubbish at sitting exams, (and let's face it who does enjoy all of that stress in one day), an opportunity to gain a substantial element of the required marks to take the pressure off on exam day.
I remember that I did a GCSE in Psychology a few years ago, and did all of my course work during a week of night shifts at the docks, fortunately it was very quiet. Funny how you all are stressing over the coursework, but then I suppose like anything it requires a certain discipline to sit down and get on with it, rather than watch spooks. I know what I would prefer...
Still I don't envy any of you, what I would say is if you get the opportunity to do something that you really want, seize it. Don't let others push you into a career that they think is best for you, there are just so many opportunities now. I would certainly recommend using your gap year to see the world and gain some life experience.
