The rants of a struggling student

So... my exams are around the corner (next Monday to be exact!) and I have yet to accomplish anything great. So far it seems that I am only able to tackle 1 chapter per day. That's 2 hours of studying just to accomplish 1 chapter eh!

Of course I'm getting a bit stressed, what with all the other duties I am tasked with, and the fact that I don't have a proper study space for now (nenek & maid are sleeping over at my place these few weeks). I've resorted to studying outside - void deck, library - and strangely, it seems more effective!

Perhaps tomorrow I shall study at the void deck la eh. I NEED to get at least 2-3 chapters done by tomorrow! AT LEAST!

Luckily I took leave on both Monday and Tuesday (both exam days) because I can foresee a whole lot of mugging. I don't know why, but the sight of my textbook just gives me a bad headache and makes me want to dump it aside. Pfft.

This is the status of my studying:

Monday (PSY205)
- Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 DONE!!!!
- Still have chapters 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 to go!

Tuesday (PSY107)
- Study Unit 1 (Chapter 1&2), Study Unit 2 (Chapter 1&2), Study Unit 3 (Chapter 1&2) to go!!!!
- Mati la aku..

The shitty thing is that I really, really want to start on PSY107 by this Thursday, but my irritating slight-OCD brain wants me to go in order. Meaning, I die2 have to finish studying for PSY205 before I can start on PSY107. Today already Tuesday and I'm only up to Chapter 4 - how to study 5 chapters in 1 day in order to start on PSY107 on Thursday la sia?!

Ok takpe. I need to chill. I'm hoping God will give me the strength and the mental capacity to continue such intense studying. I've mugged before; I can do it again. Other than mugging, I am going to use up ALL my free time for studying. This is important k. I CANNOT GIVE UP. My degree is so close yet so far!!!

So this is what I plan to do:

1) Read my textbook/notes whenever I get the chance (ie, waiting at the bus stop, etc)
2) Download the PSY107 study guide into my Google drive and read it on my Note whenever I can, just to give myself a headstart
3) Pray ALOTTTT

Another thing that I find really annoying is the constant headache that I'm getting while studying. Headaches, you have disappeared for more than 2 months, so why is it that you decide to come back NOW?! I'd almost forgotten what a migraine felt like, until it came back today to haunt me. 2 Panadols didn't do anything at all sia!

I will reallyyyy need to study my ass off tomorrow and complete my 5 chapters. NO MATTER WHAT. Because no matter what, I am starting PSY107 on Thursday, and getting my damn degree next year!!!

InsyaAllah, AMIN.
