The Easter Holiday workload

I have an issue. My issue is that these two weeks are supposed to be a bit of R&R for a student before the final exams start in May. Thankfully I only have 3 exams, but what about those who have 7 exams to take for their A-Levels or even this back at G.C.S.E level? My heart goes out to you brave warriors. Even though I only have three exams the workload I am expected to complete, let us not mention the "optional but we really know it's compulsory" work, is actually rather obscene! I have a theory: at the start of a half term or a holiday you need the first few days doing nothing; free of all educational stress. Then at around day 4/5 (lets be honest at day 5) you can start very slowly easing yourself into conquering the mountainous workload. The general rule of thumb is that you start with the easiest piece of work before gradually getting up to the essays and projects, these are usually done the day before your return. Sadly for me, the day before I return to college is my birthday, and the day before that is my Dad's birthday, and it's rude to sit down in silence for an hour and a half on birthdays. So if I work on my theory that you need at least 5 days to yourself, not including bank holidays because its a day when the government take you out of college, then tomorrow is the day I should start work, well nobody does work on a Friday do they! And besides, part of the fun of a holiday is to re-emerge into the world of other people and begin to socialise again. How am I supposed to do that when I have two essays to write, two plays to read, two 30+ page booklets to fill in, a pile the size of The Eiffel Tower of media "revision" for the exam period starting in May, over a month away. I could come down with some sort of Scarlett Fever before then; and I don't want to be spending my last days using MIGRAIN to analyse the different platforms of The Amazing bloody Spider-Man. You may think that my work load isn't really much, and you'd probably be right when comparing it to others who have 7 examinations in this final push for success, but for me, a person who no longer excels in exams and prefers to gesticly improvise his way through life, this is a lot. I don't do well under this sort of pressure and the chances are I'll fail everything and never be able to go to university, ever, and be stuck working for The Book People for my whole life, never being what I want to be because I buckled under pressure. I suppose "The early bird catches the worm" could apply here to this revision process but lets be serious, I haven't got a clue what I'm doing. Yet I'm expected to get my MTG's when I'm still learning new things, and when added with the pressure of taking my practical driving test; I can already see these next few months aren't going to be for me.
