1. Giving up on chem after midyears.
2. Picking all the hard subjects.
3. Getting over-tutored.
4. Overwhelming myself with workload (like right now).
5. Being fouetted -.-
6. Hmmm... Probably actually... Joining that nerd site. Honestly did me more harm than good (besides getting to know gossamer).
7. Giving up too early
8. Treating vce like it's the end of my life if i don't pass.
9. Measuring the day's successfulness by how much work I did.
But im in the fortunate position where there is still enough time to change things.
So here are the changes i plan to impose over the next few weeks:
1. Stop treating vce like its the end of the world. You don't care about your atar, no one cares about your atar after a few months. Aim high but not to the point where you feel you can't do it anymore and want to throw the.. Towel in.
2. Remember.... You like challenges. You like being challenged. You hate being bored in class, hence why you picked the difficult subjects. You were so bored in class last year. This year you never had time to be bored.
3. Not doing one days work does not equal automatic failure at life. Dont fall into the trap of thinking like that.
4. Falling into hormonal spirals does not equal failure at life. You are not pathetic, you're just a crazy teenager. Well. Clearly.
5. Regardless of whether you try your best or stop here, you are still going to get an atar if you answer every question on every exam to the best of your ability. However, if you push yourself for three mere weeks, you will be in a much better position when you sit down to those papers.
6. So there is pressure. So people have more faith in you than you know you deserve. Well, it doesn't matter. Those people aren't going to stop loving you if you fail year 12. And if they do, maybe it was out of selfishness that they wanted you to do well anyway. :s i feel bad saying that though, the point of the story is that the people who are urging you on want to see you succeed, but arent going to excommunicate you if you don't.
6. Motivation.... Come on, izzletay. Sad excuse. You know you can do this.
Yeah, i know i can.
Then why aren't i?
Laziness is my greatest enemy right now.
