Revising... Or Not

Sometimes, one of the most important parts of revision is knowing when to stop. At the moment, I'm feeling a lot like I should be revising all the time. However, I also know that that's not healthy. Rest, and relaxation, are just as important for doing well in exams. Today, I had plans to do at least two hours of revision, if not more. It's not almost half six, and I've done about an hour, and that was less revision and more homework. I'm not feeling too happy with myself- but I think that, tonight, the revision needs to stop here. It's been a pretty full on week, with my first exam and S Club on the same day. With IDAHOBiT tomorrow, a very revision packed weekend and two exams next week, it's not going to get any easier. Right now, I'm feeling absolutely exhausted. PMS isn't helping; I've ended up having a pretty difficult day, and have eaten lots of rubbish as well, which hasn't really helped. I *could* try to revise for a couple more hours, and my brain is telling me that I should- but what good would it do? Nothing's going to go in, and, in this state of mind, I'm going to focus more on what I don't know than what I do. If I revise too much, I'll tire myself out even more, and tomorrow will potentially be even worse. So, it makes most sense to stop. I can take a break, relax and get an early night; then, tomorrow, I'll be rested, refreshed and far more ready to crack on with some good-quality revision. The phone is off, the bath is about to be run... Tonight, I am relaxing!
