officially started my exam revision today...yeppers, it's considered quite late already, what with only 12 days more to my first paper....but it's better than nothing ;) i shall be optimistic!
realised that most of my frens are feeling kinda stressed, either by their mid-terms or ballet exams or the coming semester exam.
wondering how come i don't exactly feel it or perhaps I AM feeling stressed jus that i did not take notice of any symptoms?? hmmm....
well actually, not that i'm complacent or what, jus that coz i've always been consistent in my work and attempted most of the lectures and seminars, so I could still remember about 60-70% of whatever has been taught. So revision to me is jus like refreshing my memory of what I've learnt and consolidating the ideas in my brain so that I can apply them during exams.
I don't wan to be a spoon-fed student anymore. I wan to make sure that I truly understands the concepts and are able to apply to all kinds of similar questions. I hate the way the education sys has turned me into a mutated regurgitating machine, who is only capable of spilling out everything like those rubbish collection trucks. yuck.
I hope to change that so I've been working harder than usual.
Maybe also coz i wan to prove to myself that I'm actually capable of achieving grades that I don't expect to get. Surprise element?
But i dun really wan to expect too much lest i get disappointed big time (which i hope not! self-contradicting!!)
it's good to lay down a detailed timetable of what i should study everyday so that I don't allow myself to deviate too much from those irritating temptations!! ( oh there's this new tv show on Ch8 called The Champions, which is all about swimming and love and the guys and gals in the show are babelicious!! :P( (P/S: u see what i mean? temptations!!!)
I hope everyone can relax more and dun get too stressed up by whatever is coming for them.
Good luck to all for the coming exams! Think of what u can do during hols and that'll make u study faster! hee ;P
Godspeed.
