This is something that most artists know about, when they draw or look at something for long periods of time they will not see the mistakes, but when they take a mirror and look at the reflection of the drawing they see all the faults. Also, leaving a drawing/painting for a day will let you see...

Welcome, enjoy your 'I'm a physicist' green IOP card. For Edexcel at least, you'll probably have to go on a trip/hear a lecture as part of your AS coursework

Just a suggestion, even if you're not applying to UCL, if you have any questions regarding astrophysics you could get your physics department to arrange a trip to the UCL observatory in Greenwich, like mine did, or get Dr Francisco Diego (can't link to his page but you can google the UCL...

I will certainly check those out, thanks. Hah, good for them, I have never been able get any work done until the day before an exam (like today) all through school, and I can never seem to come on time to lessons despite threats of expulsion, I *always* get sidetracked. I was allowed to retake...

Thanks for the schedule suggestions, I'll definitely try that method out. I used to read Cal Newport's blog a long time ago, but I never get round to implementing his advice Hmm, those are interesting options, although I think I'd do much better if I spent my year studying physics/whatever...

I agree, I need to sort it out before uni, I'm already slowly improving it. I think there may be no quick fix, I've heard from others with MD that when they took drugs for OCD (fluvoxamine) they stopped drifting and pacing, but others have reported no improvements plus I wouldn't be able to get...
