It's that time of semester... (1 Viewer)

[xeuyrawp]

When you open up your diary and have a heart attack about the at least 20 hours of paid work, 40 hours of research and writing, and 20 hours of study needs that needs to be done by this time next week. :S

Share in your Red Bull inducing stresses.

Actually already went into that (if in a slightly more practical/performance assessment perspective) a few weeks ago. I haven't quite hit burnout yet (so I hope) but I'm exhausted almost every day and am living off a very detailed schedule/list to make sure I get everything done. It's a stressful time!

The only upside to this: Part time uni for the win. I have no idea how people study full-time past 3rd year AND juggle work etc, and stay sane.

*I have not yet succumbed to either Red Bull or Coffee yet!!!*

I'm not going insane.

So now isn't a good time to ask if you want to provide live accompaniment next tuesday (going back to original key for now)

I've just realised today that I may just have to completely revamp my major creative writing piece. I think some of my extra-curricular activities are just going to have to go until assessments are over.

I had a nervous breakdown that lasted the entire afternoon when i looked at the next 4-5 weeks in my diary... essay after essay and whoever thought it was a nice idea to make assessments worth 50% is seriously damaged

 

[*hopeful*]

i've just spent the past 5 minutes putting the finally finalised exam dates in my diary and then freaking out cause theres not really that much time left

finished assessments already THANK GOD with the help of lots of coffee, have 10 cans of unopened V waiting once study mode kicks in

Finals worth 90, 95% are just as annoying as an assessment worth 50%.

Yeah. Lol, they need a reality check.
