so hard to cheer up.
1:10 PM the following post is a self-prep-talk. do not read unless you're damn bored _______________________________________________________________ why have I begun to do miserably at exams? I used to be an A student. used to belong in the top 10% of my cohort. but then so what if I did well in the A levels? It doesn't translate to anything here now. This has run through my mind everytime I had to receive my cringe-worthy results at the end of the semester. Is it really that difficult to do well in uni? I mean there are guys who don't do especially well when they're in JC but then things just seem to stream along so easily for them at this level. at the point of receiving my gross results each semester, I always reflect on my actions the past semester and tell myself that I need to work harder next semester. Pretty sure everyone else goes through this same phase cos everyone's greedy for improvement. I'm in that reflection stage now, but I keep thinking somehow reflecting is just not enough if its just gonna remain as that. I always know what I need to change - to spend less time shopping online, less time chatting on MSN, being more consistent with my work, start preparing for exams earlier. but then the resolve to do these things with diligence somehow chip away slowly as we go into mid-semester. I start to give myself excuses, to be overly confident that I'd just get lucky this exams and the As will start coming back and then I begin to just while away my time. I only have 3 more semesters to buck up now. Better start before it gets too late. I need to keep all this in mind till the end of next semester, not to slowly lose sight of the importance of all these seemingly insignificant actions over the semester as work begins to pile up.. RESOLVE. I'll have lots of things going on next semester and many things I want to continue pursuing and it's probably gonna be difficult to stay focused on my studies. But I still need to try hard! Need to go for interviews for Professional Attachment, apply for INSTEP anyway even though my GPA probably won't be able to make the cut, pick up tennis for real and continue playing badminton regularly - but try not to be sidetracked by all these things, and still work hard on improving my GPA, cos ultimately when I graduate I'll just be sorted by my GPA into my honours class so its not my experience that matters, but my GPA. all I'll be is a GPA figure to my prospective employee. blardy GPA figures. I must say I hate the GPA system. UGH now let me wallow in my misery. NEW YEAR 2007 RESOLUTION: - SHOP ONLINE LESS! - SPEND MORE TIME STUDYING 0 comments |
ely belly Welcome to the drunk mootoo tiger's blog. This is the blog of a nonsensical 22 year-old. All posts are true accounts of misadventures in my life. misadventurer
I'm a shopaholic, a chocoholic, an alcoholic, a clubbaholic, an eataholic, a music junkie, a traveler.
I love crying in the movies, love cookies and popcorn, love lazing at home and love making people laugh.
I'm addicted to Johnson's Baby lotion, to my mom's cooking and to sinful desserts.
I cannot multi-task, I cannot drive, and I'm afraid of heights but I enjoy rollercoasters.
I like to be around people with whom I don't have to care if they think I'm crazy drinking bak kut teh from a straw.
I've never taken the reverse bungee, never been to the US, and never dyed my hair pink.
And I want to go on an misadventure once in my life.
