This past week has been extremely stressful because, just like everyone else, have so much to do. The week of Thanksgiving, I basically did not work. Monday and Tuesday were a waste because I did not pay attention at all in class, and I certainly did not do as much work as I expected at home. Now I am paying the price.
Between my last test, quizzes, projects, and worrying about final exams I have been crazy. I jump from one assignment to another and feel so disorganized. I don't know what to expect for my final exams, it first semester of college. Are they like my high school finals? How hard will they be? How prepared am? What do I need to do to study and learn the information?
I would like to say that my goals for finals week is to get A's and B's on them, but that is not really what I want from myself. I want to feel prepared, and confident in my knowledge. I want to understand what I study, not just stare at a textbook and hope the information gets installed in my brain. I want to really learn what it is like to manage my time, to study a lot, but also be able to get a good night sleep, and go to the gym. I do not want to worry about about what I do if I have to go to the bathroom during a final or have nightmares about sleeping through a final (yes, I actually worry about those things).
I know I expect strange things from myself, but I know what is best from me. I need to limit any anxiety I have and feel comfortable taking my final exams. Because if I do, I will certain be able to get the grade I want.
