an update!
So i managed to hand in my thesis 2 weeks ago and in the same week I had to hand in 2 more assignments - which was a complete nightmare. After handing in my thesis i didn't feel like doing anything academic or pushing myself. nonetheless the assignments got handed in
(albeit a day late. better a day late and better work than never at all i say. plus it seems like the way i cope somehow. I don't think i quite get it either)
The week after ( which
was this week) I completely took the week off to rest and recuperate before study week & i start preparing for the end of year exams.
no rest for the wicked they say.
But having finished the 'rest and recuperate' week I don't feel anymore relaxed or calm. I even had a dream last night about an exam. Not good for the mental health this fourth year stuff!
The anxious feeling in my chest probably only got worse when I got back one of the assignments I mentioned earlier. Bad. BAD. I've got a childish hope that the other assignment was brilliant. I seem to do better in that unit. but i'm still feeling a bit sick. and now instead of sleeping, I'm going to read that horrible assignment and see if there was anything I need to bring up with my tutor. Perfect reading for just before sleep time.
And today (because it's already 1am) I have to start sorting through my notes & readings & lectures and start studying for my exams - which I have to do really really well in. Poo.
The only productive thing I did today was to clear out my cupboard of redundant clothes (so i can make space for more shopping later) which is helpful in a way cos now if i choose to not be a hermit during study break i won't have to worry about findng clothes. I know that sounds like crap logic but i promise it would make more sense if you've been to my room!
gah allright i'm tired. will try to update more & seeing how i'm back on facebook now more than once a day it seems like my old procrastinating habits have returned so i might be posting more often too ! :)
