Had my first exam this morning. Getting up at 7am was tough, but I think the exam went well. As well as it could have, given my less-than-enthusiastic approach to revision.
It's funny, I know I'm entirely capable of a first classification, but I just don't care enough to put the work in. I enjoy history a lot, and outside of a school-like-environment I find it is one of the most interesting things. How could anyone not be interested in discovering how things came to be as they are???
But as soon as it becomes work all of that enthusiasm vanishes. When I know I have to learn it to progress and earn career prospects, etc., it suddenly becomess the most tedious and difficult thing in the world to study. I really hate it. It's just weird that, if I happened onto the same topic out of my own curiosity, I would find it endlessly interesting and would probably do a much better job reading and remembering it all!
