I have realised something this week. I am my own worst enemy. Seriously, I set this study schedule to make sure I can get my assignments done well in time to double check that everything is correct so I can get the best marks possible but I don't have enough time to stick to it. Take organic for example. I spent the whole of Sunday this week catching up so I can make sure I stay on top of it when I continue with it again this morning. I start what I have scheduled for today and I see that I haven't set myself a normal amount of sections to do, no, I have set 16 sections!! WTF! To put this in perspective, on a good day, 5 sections take about 2 hours, depending on the length of the sections and how many example problems and mechanisms there are. This morning I woke up at 05h11 and managed to do 5 of the 16 sections, well, I am still on the 5th one but you catch my drift. Now, we all know my job is not one that I can simply avoid for any length of time so now, I need to figure out how I can do the other 11 sections required 9as well as catch up with my other 4 subjects since I am behind in those too) before I attempt the first assignment next week. On the bright side, at least I understand why I am always behind since I am sure I am doing this in every subject...
I would like to say I can reschedule the schedule but I am on this path now and think I should do my best to stick to it. I guess if I do manage to even get close to staying on top of it, I can only assume that this will stand mi in good stead come exam time. Of course, this means that I will need to do my day job as quickly and efficiently as possible since it is getting extremely demanding there too.
Will let you know how the rest of the week pans out.
P.S. About the triathlon I was roped into, two of our team members dropped out so I didn't have the pleasure of getting up before the sparrows to drive to a distant town and swim my 400m. My thoughts are summarised in one word "Phew!'
