As we all know, air law is one of them (sic) subjects thats just very long and boring and a struggle to get through, or at least it was for me,

I think that you are doing other trainee pilots a considerable disservice by promoting that attitude to the very necessary learning involved in training for a PPL. Why should it be as you describe when knowledge, understanding and application of the subject might just save your life, apart from being the basis of how you operate legally? It seems that you are not alone in this attitude - the whole approach by several people in the past seems to have been to ask for tips and advice on how to scrape through a written exam with scant regard for the object of the exercise - absorbing the information. You do redeem yourself, however, by advocating approaching the task in a far more organised manner! It would be useful and interesting if you described how ground school instruction helped and why you did not opt for it originally.
Enjoy your flying - even when head on to another aircraft!
