Hello, stranger(s)!

I'll be the first to admit, it's been an abominably long time since I last posted, and I've not been particularly busy either, so I'd have to say that quite frankly, I'm just sorry. I've copped out. I've been a bit of a baby. 

My exams went... overall, disappointingly. With this phrase, I mean, I feel the first two exams went very well but the third and last exam, the two hour one in the afternoon... that came two hours after a three hour exam... That one didn't go so well. I put this down to a number of factors.

1) I completely underestimated the amount of time I'd need to revise the ten necessary chapters effectively.  I revised them, I did, but not nearly well enough. And that exam happened to want a lot of detail.

2) I didn't sleep enough. Not just the night before the exam, but in the month preceding exams in general, I was getting five or six hours a night, which truly just isn't enough. I reckon nine hours would have been better. 

3) Law, which was the last exam, was the hardest exam. And because it was the last exam, I had almost no choice but to revise more for the others. 

4) After the end of term, I generally need three to four weeks to relax. This is non-optional. I literally stop functioning as a responsible adult and student for this period of time and as such was unable to revise, which was the ONLY thing I should have been doing. Really. And I messed it up.

For these reasons, and the fact that I am somewhat angry at myself, I am afraid you'll have to wait for the major reason you've wanted this next post, which is, of course, the cookie recipe (Wooo! I tried it again the other day and it is STILL amazing and very yummy)... But yes, next time! 

Happy reading, folks!!
