My exams starts in two weeks. I am hyperventilating just to think about it... This semester has gone sooo fast! Our exams are spread over 3 weeks, which is good thing because we have time to study between each one, right? But it is also a bad thing because it means that: 1- we have too many! and 2- we are on this bad feeling of stress for about three weeks... Even though everybody tells us that we will get through it if we continue doing what we do (they had only one fail for one exam for the last two years, and I suppose I am not worse than all these students). I still don't feel I am as ready as I would like, but, these last two and a half year have taught me that I will get there and I will be as ready as it needs (which you realize is nothing near as ready as I would like, but good enough).
So, this week, I tried the cottage to not be disturb every 10 minutes, and have nothing else to do than study (I confess being a terrible procrastinator, and at home, I could bake 3 dozens of muffins, do laundry and clean the kitchen instead of studying). I have to say it is working fairly well.
I also tried to study with other colleagues once a week, and I exchange SMS with others now and then. I believe that working with others helps me see the material differently. Also, it is a very well establish method of learning - see, do, teach. When working with others, we explain stuff to each other, and that helps us better understand the material.
Since what I have done up to now seems to have worked (I am still here, right?), I will continue doing it for the next month. And then, a whole two weeks of free time with my husband and Princess... Even our best friends are planning a few days here for New Year's eve!
Life is good!
(And here is my personal (de)motivator... also known as The Dictator, when he decides it's time I stop studying to dedicate all my energies to play with him, because well, he deserves it, doesn't he? )
