Mock exams are a roller-coaster of emotions. Psychology was fine other than that I didn’t write enough, and didn’t know my arguments well enough to write more. I know full well I am capable of at least two sides of writing for topics I definitely get, but for now I’m not at that stage and there’s still plenty of time before the real exam.
Biology was a disaster. I know my theory well enough but my application is horrendous and I am being nice to myself when I say that!
General Studies is impossible to revise for, but I think I did fairly well on that.
Now I have three days to revise for Chemistry and I’m feeling good about it right now.
As if out of spite, my lamp broke. Just as I was about to settle in for the night. I turned it on and it just… Popped. Sparks and everything.
That little sphere by my laptop is the bulb that fell.
So, since I really needed it, I treated myself last night to one of the Etude House Masks from my 20Pc set: Damask Rose. Here’s a sweet and snappy review…
It really does smell of roses, and reminds me of the rose hand creams from M&S. I really like the designs on the packaging and this rosy one is ultra pretty. This one is a fairly simple moisturising mask and the scent is really noticeable when you first take it from the sachet. There’s lots of clear essence left over.
I think the fit was a little strange but I think I put it on my face a little too much to the right. I struggle to get positioning right with masks, anyway.

As another form of relaxation I picked up my knitting again, and finished a facecloth. The motivation for it was purely that I am totally into skincare now and need more facecloths to rotate. I have knitted all of mine (three) thus far.
That one got finished quickly after a few hours, so I was in need of something else, but I had run out of the cotton that I keep specially for washcloths. So instead, I decided I needed a headband to keep the hair from my face when I cleanse and do my skincare routine. I did have one previously, but ended up giving it away, and I already had a second on hold from last year…

I’m trying to figure out how to embed so the instagram images align in the centre but it seems WP doesn’t do this. Sigh.
If you are an A-Level student, how are your mock exams going? What are you doing to relax?
Until next time,
