Got a fair bit done today ( probably because I felt crap about myself and my abilities after yesterday):
-Felt happy about Liverpool being back in the Champion's League
-Did my Metaphysics readings for Philosophy and reviewed my essays that I've got back
-Expanded on my Physics revision notes on Quantum Mechanics
-Caught up on my Neuroscience lectures and made notes
- Started compiling a team case file for debating ( mainly a resource, training, topics and arguments bank for Australasians)
-Just finished work/adjudicating job ( it's surprising how work validates your self worth LOL, especially because I have to give out a lot more feedback forms this year)

[www]

Been a long time since I updated.

- Since the last update, a tonne of assignments have been returned; overall satisfied with my marks so far.
- With the completion of my Korean speaking test today, no more assignments! ^{excluding education placement documents and two final placement days... fun}
- Basically time has opened up to catch up on a couple of readings/lectures I missed because of placements, and of course, exam revision.

24/5/17:
- I HAVE FINISHED CLASSES FOREVER
- First set of results are back, and all are up there in the D-HD range. So far so good.

Now I just have under 2 weeks to get 4 assignments done from scratch. And then it's JOB HUNTING TIME. Prospects aren't that great given it's mid year, but I've been asked to apply for 1 or 2 jobs so we'll see how this goes

It's been one hell of a week so far for me; and it's only Wednesday haha. I've had an assessment of some sort everyday this week and the next two days don't look fun either.
On the other hand, I've gotten a lot of stuff done early (such as a stats assignment and an a 'make-your-own-experiment' assignment), so I have had (mostly) more time to sleep, because I have since discovered that lack of sleep doesn't help me at all

Forget the date because I don't post daily 

- Finished up 1.5k essay on metabolism (8%) - surprisingly ok (so much easier than my lit review), good revision for the exam although keeping it under the word count was a pain. Ended up with nearly the max 1.65k 
-now revising for exams
-learning some week 11/12 content
-still need to receive a few more marks for in-semester stuff - hopefully they are decent

I actually think I'm going insane.

I plan to do four math courses next semester...

past 4 days (basically exam prep):

- I've readskimmed through certain chapters in my IR + politics textbooks and tried to take some notes
- I typed up important sections of lecture notes all year, but idek if typing notes is a waste of time or actually useful
- watched a lot of philosophy lectures. so scared for this subject!
- I finalized my flashcards/glossary terms lists for politics/IR and printed them out

I think this is fine if its helping you to retain information. A lot of people learn by writing things over and over again. If this isn't how you learn though, best to move on to something else.

- watched a lot of philosophy lectures. so scared for this subject!

I'm the opposite. I'm most confident with philosophy, and terrified for lit.

Last few days have been quite busy, but I have time for lot's of breaks in between which is keeping me sane.

29/5:
- Mind maps on Borges' short stories
- Comparative analysis of sonnets
- Revised flashcards

30/5:
- Edit comparative analysis of sonnets
- Read over philosophy notes
- Read over poetry notes
- Revised flashcards

31/5:
- Philosophy practise exam
- Sonnet analysis
- Revised flashcards
- Two paragraph analysis on Mansfield's short stories

More essay writing planned for today, wish me luck.

^Good luck! Haha.

Philosophy's awesome; I'm sure y'all with nail it.

...when you realize exams are less than 48hrs away

but nah in all seriousness all I've done the past few days is:
- read over notes
- type up more notes
and hope that I've studied the right things

Soooo, I just got back an essay assignment and I'm really, really happy. It's by far the best one I've written to date.

Anywho, I have my last exam today (woo!), and I also woke up kind of early , so I've:
- Edited a practise exam I wrote yesterday
- Read over notes
- Revised flashcards
- Confirmed subject enrolment for semester 2

I'm at that point where I pretty much know everything I need to know, and there's not much else to do at this stage. I'm planning to read over my notes again a bit later, and go over my flashcards, but otherwise, I think it's going to be a pretty chill morning.

Good luck to everyone else with exams
