Will you be bricked in the head with study? (1 Viewer)

[veanz]

*knocked unconcious*

Ive been sooooo idle and lazy these past 4/5 months, im afraid of the workload im going to get when uni begins... im doing pharm - which is 5 days a wk so probably full-on-ish...dagnabit dagnabit.

Do any of you think you might have this prob? What would you do?

I dont think i have the effort in me to go buy the books now and read ahead...

 

[juggernaut]

i would do it part time!

 

[jlh]

do what juggernaut says if your that worried about being bombarded with knowledge!! .. maybe take on a small course load.. instead of 4 units in first semester, try only 3...

 

[freaking_out]

or the other option can b to start preparing ya brain for study now- so it doesn't shock u that much.

 

[jlh]

actually they start you out pretty easy in the first few weeks.... so maybe it won't be that bad!!

lol, i dunno if your uni has them, but newcastle use Blackboard (like online learning, where lecture notes can be posted, anonuncements, all that) and Turnitin (anti plagerism software similar to google) and i heard about nothing but them for first week...hopefully this week is better
so far the hardest part has been listening, ive been in lectures and found my mind wandering to random thoughts..

yeah, i guess thats prolly gonna happen to us as well, since it'll b a new environment for us and we'll prolly b looking around the room, and exploring more than focussing on the lecutures.

hahah, theres not much to look at in most lecture theatres! i actually spent one entire lecture following a moth with my eyes and figuring out if i would be able to catch it. (i was doing a bug collection at the time!)

I think most people are feeling that way, i reckon it's ok, cos we had a holiday after HSC-- so it was meant to be the one where u just bludge oh well, this is what i think.

 

[veanz]

i think may concern is being overwhelmed by it all and then stressing out for no apparent reason - making new friends is kinda scary too...

is anyone using one of those voice recorder thingys to put on the lectueres desk?

i wish i knew some sort of shorthand...

I agree.. I've just been lazing around doing lots of low-thinking activities these last 4 months.. all my advanced maths subjects are gonna kill me though I tell ya.
