I am now in the car travelling to the beach :D So excited haven't been for ages. I remembered all the essentials: gadgets, hair kits, beach bag, kindle etc. I'm thinking of starting a business. But I don't know what kind it shall be. Tried the hair bows, not working out. I have some newly packaged hair wefts I can sell? I was thinking of a skin care range. I'll use natural products, fruits, no chemicals, they smell beautiful. Guess what? Strawberries also helps whiten teeth too! Strawberries are a miracle. Wonder what they also do, shoot your enemies? Lol just kidding. I've made strawberry sugar exfoliants, they smell lush. I can make tanning lotion with bronzer to make it look real. I just need to buy containers or bottles so I can put them in. This is going to be very exciting =] You heard it here first, my own skincare range! In fact, to celebrate, I'll give a 40% discount! :) I mean when we go through teenage years, we will have pimples outbreaking and ruining our youthful, baby-smooth face and body, so using natural ingredients which are chemical free will leave our skin fresh and younger-looking, like we're 1 years old again! Just bring out the nappies. How about a t-shirt range aswell? I could do off the shoulder tops, hmm, it's harder than the skincare though.

School in a month! :( Noo. This is ruining my mood >.< Exams! Exams! Exams! The best way to deal with the pressure and stress and fear of failure is: ♥ The other day I was feeling so stressed out so I listened to some relaxation music on youtube (e.g. beach waves, rain & thunder, nature etc.) and I found it to be really helping.
Then I ran a warm bath and poured one cup of milk into it (you can get a few strawberries, put them in a blender with milk and that will give you strawberry milk if you want it to smell nice and be better) and brought my laptop into the room so when I was in the bath I was listening to the relaxation music and reading a good book. When I got out after an hour or so I felt so refreshed and calm :D
I'm thinking of starting meditation, apparently its a great stress breaker. There should be some beginner meditation videos on youtube or you can just go on eHow and search for meditation tips.
Also, when revising you probably get bored and tired easily, my best revision tips is find out what type of learner you are. For example, I am an auditory learner (I learn by hearing/listening) so I recorded myself (Audacity is good) reading out my notes and listened back to them, it really helped. [Add some sound effects to make it even more fun!] Also, listen to some study music to help you cram in information and go to a more relaxed, composed mood. Type in 'Study music' on the youtube search, they have a variety :)
If you are not an auditory learner, but you learn from doing something, i.e. acting it out, practicals, doing something with your hands etc. you could act it out in a play or something.
If you are a visual learner, you can revise by reading or watching videos, writing your notes out, highlighting the most important parts.
One of my best revision tips: Record the most important notes or things you can't quite understand and have it playing softly in the background while you sleep. It's a great method!
I know it's a bit too early to revise, but it's best to get prepared early, so when you go back in September you won't be thrown with nasty surprises and you'll be ready!
Don't forget to have breaks after each section. If you still don't seem amused, try and reward yourself with treats after revising one topic. So for example, After this Algebra topic I am going to eat biscuits/play on the wii/go shopping/call friends etc. Something that makes you happy! This way you'll be more motivated to do your revision, it works.
I know maths is probably the most common subject that people struggle with/don't understand. I found this great site that is really good for maths: http://www.glad2teach.co.uk >> it'll make you a math genius, trust!
Another good revision site is BBC Bitesize.
Read textbooks, buy the ones with practice papers. I have CGP KS3 Revision & Practice, at the end of each section it has a test to test how well you revised, it's really good.
Don't just read, do mindmaps, colourful notes etc.!
Anyway we've arrived at the beach now, my brothers are bringing out the beach ball from the boot and their all running to the sea like little looneys. :P
