Burn out,plans, hopes and dreams.

Sigh. I'm reaching the end of my third semester at uni and the mental burnout is really getting to me. However its been a lot better than the last time i had a round of exams which is great! i just wish i had realised how close my last assignment and first exam was because then i could have been more prepared then i am feeling right now and i feel like i have some holes in my knowledge...but next semester will be better. Looking back at my study patterns in my first year at uni, wherein i left everything to literally the day before and did 12 hours of cramming and from memory i barely passed while this time, i still didn't give myself as much time as i would have liked (next time i'm leaving myself a month to prepare, not...6 days.) its still progress from before and even though its not brilliant and right now i feel burnt out and miserable wishing i had left myself some more time i'm still happy that at least i have'nt left it to the day before like i use to. Building that self discipline in study and learning effective study techniques that work for me as well as trying to balance my work, uni classes and my long commute to uni in a effective way that doesn't leave me missing lots of class like i have done this semester because i haven't been able to get home effectively because all of my classes were late classes this semester and it sucked. So. For next semester i'm going to get in early and plan my classes as strategically as possible and have them at a comfortable time that works for me. Start revising a month before exams with a study plan mapped out and planned, stay on top of my study and receive a distinction in all my subjects next semester as well as enrol for a subject in summer break that i missed out on doing this semester so that i can catch up and not be behind in my course. I also have plans to look into overseas study and graduate internships which i have already enquired about at CSRIO and hopefully book to talk to a careers counsellor about how to get my masters in nutrition and potentially a degree in research. 😊
