End of First Year

Well it's that time which felt a long way off. I have finished the first year of my Physics Degree and surprisingly I got a comfortable 2:1 without doing enough work, well who is to quantify enough but that is a different story. Let's just say I know I can do more revision and preparation so it's nice to know that in general I can remember and understand and use information I have been lectured on quite proficiently without having to hammer it home with lots of laborious exercises.

Hopefully I will now find a little bit more time to write to this blog but as you can probably understand now being involved in writing reviews I spend a lot of the day writing and such don't always have much to say!

Currently I am finding the reviewing hard work, my lack of motivation is annoying me lots. I want in lots of ways to just go out and have fun and the money factor just isn't motivating me. Maybe if I was paid directly per article I would feel more willing to comply. It is nice that we now get paid for each extra News Story we write and its certainly helping the site expand quickly. If you aren't already aware of the site: eTeknix then take a look as we have lots of fresh content and now average around 4k visitors per day. While you are at it, take a look at my recent review and see how much work and writing it takes (let alone the 3 hours of testing) and bearing in mind this item is sat on ebay at 99p, I'm not filled with hope that its going to save me from the student debt and overdrafts that I am flying into.

I will, once again, go through my rough finances of this year and compare them to my initial budgeting. Will be interesting to see how much more or less I have actually spent, although I am pretty certain it is more than I budgeted for!

Over and out for now.
God Bless.
