Ever since my new semester started, suddenly I have been swamped with loads of things to do. Aside from the obvious homework, I had a number of things to do and prepare for, both physically and mentally. No longer is the homework where I have to print a hardcopy and then write the answers on it but I have to create a blog where I have to post weekly and comment on a shared Google Document, among others. While there are two modules that do not have have examinations, there are still other things that worry me about those two modules. They still have plenty of things where I have to prepare for.
It is hard to believe that I had endured almost 7 hours at school back when I was younger and now, I could barely survive one and half an hour lecture! I wonder what changed. Maybe I have gotten lazier and more unmotivated to do well.
But I cannot keep up with this lazy and unmotivated attitude of course. This bachelor degree is freaking costly and the semester course fees make me almost want to shed tears at the mere sight of those numbers. So I cannot afford to repeat any module. Also, I have already made my goals for the grades for all modules. The lowest grade that I have gotten is a B- and I am quite disappointed at that. I mean, the modules that I have completed were all walks in a park. Very easy and not a challenge at all. But I am afraid to say that I underestimated those modules a whole lot. I constantly did not put any effort into my studying and admittedly, I could have done better. Despite aiming for high grades, I did not put in enough effort to do as well as I expected myself to do so.
Once again, for this semester, I have already set my targets for all my modules. I just need to set my expectations and attitudes straight too. All while maintaining my interest to write and the need to update my existing stories till their completion. Not to mention, I have to complete my 2016 Reading Challenge which I set as 30 books.
I admit, these past few days, I had been horribly distracted and I only completed the non-academic goals. School-wise, I have only completed the homework part. But at least, I did not delay the homework like I used to back in previous two semesters so I could at least cheer myself up with that good news and give myself a pat on the back on the accomplishment.
There will be a long weekend coming right up after this whole week ends and I am looking forward for that. I have to catch up with my studies and should always keep up with I am learning. Time is precious and I must waste such scarce resource.
