I am alarmed at how much of a presence the Cellar is in my study habits...and BBCnews ... not good :P

I have a bitch of a year coming up. I've been tentatively toying with the idea of playing a new MMO that's due out by Christmas....how bloody stupid is that? I don't know where my head was at thinking I could in someway fit in a new hobby in the final year of a degree lol.

Scrapped that idea. I have a serious amount of work to do and only 8 months in which to do it. I have pretty much blown the Summer (doctor who lol) so haven't got my preliminary research done in advance as planned. Oh well. Still doable.

My point (yes, i have one somewhere) is that I am appalling at studying. I have never developed effective study habits and 'work/life balance' is an entirely alien concept in my life.

I have to get it right this year. I am scared shitless that I will fuck this up at the final hurdle...

To be considered for the MA scholarship award that I want, just getting a First Class degree isn't enough...to be considered I need to finish with an excellent First Class degree. I am currently averaging 75% in my grades. That's an okay First. I have to get that up to late 70s or early 80s. Tall order. I am not sure if I am that good.

But I don't know that I am not...so I have to go for it...
