Exam Stress and Happy Things

Exam Stress and Happy Things

For the past few weeks I have been revising towards my end of year exams. They’re now only a week and a few days away, and I can’t convey how badly I want them over and done with. It hasn’t helped that this week it was my time of the month, and the stress of revision has really brought me down.

I don’t know about any of you but for me it gets to a point with revision where I feel like there’s nothing else my brain can absorb, and when this happens my brain just goes into meltdown. It doesn’t want me to keep going. I then get stress headaches and panic myself because I don’t feel like I’m doing enough revision (when really I’m probably over doing it).

Unsure of who to trust, Kellen struggles to learn how to survive in a dangerous world without his magic even as he seeks out the true source of the curse. But when Kellen uncovers a conspiracy hatched by members of his own clan seeking to take power, he races back to his city in a desperate bid to outwit the mages arrayed against him before they can destroy his family.
