Well, considering I got a bad essay mark back, my essy in progress is going badly, and my preparation for my exams isn't really... glorious... surprisingly calm.

Introcrat In reply to chinara [2012-04-24 05:45:59 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's... good? I suspect, however, that it's because the essay mark isn't that horrible, you at least know the material for your current essay, and you know the exam material better than you think you do.

It was a 60. [a low 2:1]
My essay before that in the same subject got 73. [A good 1st]
And I can assure you, my calm comes from blissful ignorance. Seriously, I will flip a table at this.

Introcrat In reply to chinara [2012-04-25 06:31:32 +0000 UTC]

Well, a 60 isn't fantastic, but it's not terrible either. You're only human, and a couple of mediocre grades aren't going to kill you, especially when you've got better ones that help the average out.

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
There we go, a table has been flipped in your honour. No need to flip your own. In all seriousness, it's better to be calm regardless of your actual preparedness, so there's no sense in stressing yourself out about it. Studying usually happens better in a peaceful state, so you're doing yourself a favour.

That essay was worth 40%, sadly, and I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the few who got such a low mark in my course...
I don't know. It's not looking too rosy, my essay won't get done - i am stuck at 1300 words - and my motivation is going down the gutter. ._. Added to some other factors I can predict that I will be freaking out in the night to the exam.

Introcrat In reply to chinara [2012-04-28 04:08:00 +0000 UTC]

Then there's still 60% that can redeem you, no? 40% is a lot, but it's hardly fatal. There are some of us who have done far worse and still survived. XP
You can do it, madam. It's rough now, but you'll be free soon enough. Just keep it together for the last few days, and then you can be gloriously unmotivated later. XD

It's not so bad, at least for now. I've done a few 10 or 12-hour workdays, and my weekend is in jeopardy, but it could be much worse. After this, things should hopefully settle down for the next few months.
Well, good luck with the last push - just remember that sleep is your friend. Remembering that you're better at these things than you give yourself credit for is helpful, as well. It also happens to be true. (:

Should be done now, with the next one being in another three or four weeks. I should at least have a couple of weekends to relax.

I'm not saying that a boyfriend could eliminate the urge, madam. I know the limits of boyfriends. XP But they might be able to distract and guilt you into doing less work.

I'm sure I'll be busy enough in due time, it's the inevitable cycle of things. You, on the other hand, should enjoy your free time while there is no work to overshadow the calm. XD

That's precisely what I mean. You need someone to moderate the extreme guilt that you're currently getting. Surely more guilt in a different direction will be good for you. XP

Occupation will still be available a week from now, madam. Enjoy the moment. ^_^
