Blah...

ok so its 2.30am.. normal reasons for being up at this unearthly hour generally revolve around drink and well just plain old nonsense. however tonight and the last few nights its been due to revision. This is what my life has become staying up working til 2.30am not the so called student life you regularly here about. This is not through lack of effort in the day. If i was given marks for effort in trying to do work i would have a 1st already. The good thing about work at this time of night is well everyone is in bed so there is no one to talk to. General noise making is kept to a minimum in order to not disturb housemates and there you have a sort of environment i can work in. The only noise coming from around me is due to myself and also my music (which is constantly on, hence the large number of play counts on lastfm).

In revision times convenience outweighs quality. This can apply to large variety of things:
- food (anything that can be bunged in the oven for some time is perfect - chips & sausages/ chicken dippers is my diet for the next 2 weeks)
- mp3 over my beloved records (as much as i love picking up my LPs and placing them carefully on my turntable it becomes a slight pain if when your close to understanding something you have to have a slight interval, however this also proves a great distraction from work esp when the 7" go on as 3 to 4 mins is blantantly not long enough to do work so therefore i have to sit and listen, what a shame)
- clothes (grab whatever is closet)
i could go on but i wont you get the general idea

Another thing.. its fecking cold.. my house takes a while to warm up when the heating gets switched on in the early evening / late afternoon it takes a good few hours to circulate my room. so its warmest point is around midnight. This has a big effect on revision as when i tend to revise it doesn't involve a lot of moving around its either sitting at my desk or on the floor. The little movement means I'm therefore very cold. And before you ask.. i have numerous layers of clothing on and what can really only be described as leg warmers but for your wrists. ie. fingerless gloves which continue down your forearm. However i cant really wear these and play my guitar as if i take my arm warmers off i cant feel my fingers, unless there holding a cup of tea, so therefore struggle to play anything.

so yes.. bed me thinks.. same again tommorrow.. up early, breakfast, wash, sit at desk, lunch, sit at desk, dinner, sit at desk. an action packed day.
