Posts without a plan

Oh god, I hate exam season so so much. It's annoying to the point where I can't even plan a blog post, let alone write one! I'll get a little bit of inspiration, and then, as if by magic, poof! It's gone.

Take, for example, the other day. I had a great idea for a post, 'What is worthy literature?' I knew what my argument was, I knew exactly how I was going to express it. However, when it came to planning out my argument in stages my mind went blank. It is such a pain, because this thing is finally beginning to get some regular readers, which is admittedly strange to me- Why on earth would you want to read this blog of un-planned, pseudo-sarcastic mess? Not only that, but when you Google 'Teenage life blog' I'm one of the first results, and I have absolutely no idea how.

I don't know. Maybe I'll post you my character's journal from Skyrim, one thing that I am actually able to write without blocking up horribly, or a couple of screenshot from my latest picture. What say you?

How to Revise for English Literature

1- Return home from school, switch on the computer, put on some Pain of Salvation so you have a 'trigger' in the exam.

2- Feel glad that you've gotten this far. Open up Facebook. Complain about revision.

3- Reluctantly dig out your AQA Anthology, which holds all the poems required for the exam. Do private, dramatic readings of the required poems to yourself until you get to 'My Last Duchess'

4- Go get dinner, you've earned it.

5- Continue reading through the poetry until you come to the end of your studied poems.

6- Check Facebook again.

7- Check the AQA mark scheme.

8- Make witty Facebook status concerning said mark scheme.

9- Sit back for a while. You've earned another break.

10- Start thinking about prom, allow these thoughts to distract you from revising and check Youtube for make up tutorials.

11- Perform said make up tutorial.

12- Curse your lack of concentration.

13- Write a blog post concerning revision as a product of your procrastination.

14- Finish blog post and eventually decide to go and do some more revision.
