- The Structured Timetable -
Turns out that having more time on your hands is definitely more challenging when it comes to time management. I always wondered how those people did it. You know, the people who play their sports well, spend all their time training in it and still come out of the examination halls with the similar confidence through and through.
I have quite a relaxing timetable on my hands and im thinking how much extra time i have on my hand now to study, but then i still realise im only still hitting the books when its near the stroke of midnight. In a way its a possibility that im trying to delude myself that its not supposed to be so tough right from the start, but then you compare homework with your friends and you realise that if you are not going to aim for the top, there are many people out there who cannot wait to take your position.
University is certainly a new experience. They expect you to "skim" through at least three chapters of the textbooks before you head for tutorial each time, where you are immediately then assigned to different groups to start on projects immediately. Its difficult, but in a way realistic, because out there in the working world, whom is going to wait for you to feel comfortable before setting out tasks for you to do yes?
So then the planning begins. Do you still want to make sure you head down for all lectures even though they are positively rendered useless with it being merely just an oral presentation each time? Even during my first tutorial, my lecturer (whom by the way cannot even speak proper english) dismissed the class thirty minutes before the slated time, only to rush back after five with enlightenment that she had forgotten what time the class was supposed to end. My god, i got so worried seeing this. Isnt this supposed to be our last formal education? Where's the professionalism?
I have got along pretty well with the seniors of my hall too, but then im really trying to restrict myself to just take part in specific sports and societies for now. There's no way this time i would allow fun to replace results. Because all i really am given now is one chance. Guys, lets all work really hard together!
