Happy New Year, and all that jazz.

First of January today. Happy New Year, Bonne Année, Frohe Neu Jahr. It doesn't really matter how you say it, it's another new start.

For me, that means a hell of a lot of revision. For one thing, I need to get from a C in my mock to an A in my Chemistry module. It also means getting those extra couple of marks in Biology and Maths to get up to an A in that too. And for Physics? I don't know. It's interesting, but it's all circuits, and I don't like circuits. It's also a hell of a lot of work, which I can't seem to find the time to do. I'll go talk to Becky on Monday.

Jeez, Monday. Is it really that soon that I go back, and launch straight into modules? I have one for General Studies too, but that should be a breeze. You actually get marks for answering the questions, even though the whole exam is moot and doesn't get you into Uni.

Speaking of Uni, I'm awaiting a deluge of prospectuses. I sent off for one from almost every University offering Medicine in the entire country. I really ought to apologise to the postman. So far I've got them from Oxford, Cambridge, KCL and Glasgow. Glasgow seems surprisingly nice, the campus itself is beautiful, like somethough out of a fairytale. Though I've never been to the city, and I guess I can't base five years living in the same city with no chance of moving elsewhere just on a couple of pages in a prospectus.

Open days. That's another thing I need to remember. I think I need to register to get a place on the Medicine talks too. Hm.

But anyway, I'm going to try and not let my mass of modules get me down, or my slightly abysmal Time Management, or the fact that I'll be dropping one of the subjects I have most laughs in. It's a new year, and I'm going to make the most of it.
