Cause I don’t feel alive right now, I feel like I’m mindlessly floating in a pile of work. Like studying is breathing now, I feel like I do it all the time! I already knew that taking 36 credits with a majority being science courses wouldn’t be easy. No one was lying when they said UBC is tough, it is. A friend of mine had a midterm last friday! How quick is that? That means if you gave yourself enough time to study you’d be studying for a midterm just 2 weeks into school. How crazy is that? A lot of people on my floor are Arts..so I don’t feel like they understand the stress that is Science/Engineering/etc… All of the arts students I talk to are always done there work, HOW? How is it possible? Do they have an amazing time management schedule or do they just have a minimal amount of work? If its the time management schedule then I want it! I think what also probably contributes to it is that is there schedules have so much space, there not stacked with classes, so therefore more time to study, and finish work. Some nights I’m like.. I need to switch to Arts, but then I cant imagine myself doing anything but science. I mean my easiest course this semester would be English, yet its also the least tolerable, if that makes any sense.
Midterms are stressing me out..It’s horrible how close they are to eachother, and having 2+ at the same day is pure cruelty. Here are the midterms I have coming up:
Bio 121: midterm October 4
Calc(math180): midterm October 5
Eng110 : inclass essay(midterm1) October 7
Physics 101: midterm1 October 7
Chem 121 : midterm October 12
I dont know how it works at UBC but if the teachers assign a lot of work during that week of a somewhat “midterm season” then i might crawl into a hole. Things move ridiculously fast, and its hard to keep up. I’ve managed to keep on top of things as of now I have a 99%+ in all my classes, but thats based solely on quizzes, watch it drop when midterms come along :[, but there have been some fumbles along the way so far(switching schedule around and playing catch up x.x, missing a physics lab(oops thought it was every OTHER week, im making it up though wheew! And just other small stuff)! I know I’m reaching for the stars especially with a course load like mine..but I want a 80-85%+ average this semester. No I need one! I’ve got little post it notes on my room with motivational notes. Right now I just hope to live through midterm season.
