Personal or Private Study?

Today, someone asked me. What is the difference between personal study and private study. It did rather confuse me. I do know what they both mean. Personal study is the essay of your choice for higher english, and private study is when you sit in a room with your own work and a bunch of skivers from your year and the year above who try and make you study anything but private and far from a quiet, productive use of time.
I am rather just blabbering now. But i have realised that it is quite easy to confuse the two of them. I often say 'i'm off to personal study' when i really mean private study, usually once a week when the bell rings for third period on a tuesday. If you really think about it, personal and private are really very very similar.
But tomorrow, i will have to make sure i make the difference between the two. Because If i manage to let myself drift into the usual 'private' study routine then I will get no work done, which is considerably bad - as the prelims are in like 5 weeks time. Eeek! So I will be concentrating on my personal study essay tomorrow, during private study!(with any luck)
I do realise there was no point to this blog, and it certainly not the most interesting thing to be reading. I alsi realise that if I had not written this pointless blog I would have probably got at least three more PCQE's done for my essay, and given myself less personal study work to do , in private study tomorrow. But that is life, that is me. Typically me, that whenever there is something important to be doing, I spend the time i set aside to do it - on something completely different.
On a happier note - I had my first proper panto rehearsal yesterday. Though, my voice was doing strange and wonderful things when I tried singing in the kitchen before I left and then my throat began to hurt. So I decided it would be best not to sing, yet. But It seems to be getting better now so yay!
Annnnnd...I did hear Ailsa sing solo for the first time. And I must say, she is rather fantastic! One of the nicest voices I've heard before. :)
anyway, must dash got more 'homework' to do!
