Subject: Study, study, study!

Hi,

I'm sorry I haven't written for so long. I have so many exams at college at the moment and I've been really stressed out about it.

Do you have any advice you could give me about studying for exams? Where do you think the best place to study is? I've been going to bed so late - maybe that's not such a good idea! I would appreciate any good tips you could give me.

Bye for now.

Igor
