I seem to have found mine. Though, it is perhaps too soon to tell. Usually I would be binging on something, by now. But I'm not.
Spending a couple hours on this and then that. Playing a game for a bit and then feeling tired of it. Doing some chemistry and then feeling tired of that. Going to the gym... Watching big brother... Cleaning the house... I will be quite happy with myself if I can keep this up. That is what I would most like for myself this summer. To become better at making good use of my time. To spend a couple hours on this and then a couple hours on that. To be better at allocating time and effort to the range of papers that I have instead of binging on one at the expense of the others... And so on...
I guess I have realised this year that there is quite a lot of down-time. Quite a lot of time to prepare for exams. They even have a bunch of 'revision' lectures before tests so you aren't getting hit with new content just before tests, at least...
Mostly it is about keeping up morale enough to carry on... Not needing to take too much time out to collapse into a little pool of despair... I think they try and overwhelm you purposely, at times... Just to see how you will cope with it...
Anyway... My subscription to the maths website just renewed itself, too, after my having suspended it for most of the year. I think I might take a little look at about where things are at, now... See what sense I can make of algebra now... Do some more practice with unit conversions and scientific notations... See what I can do with graphs...
Life is good...
The model kit people said they would ship me another if I pay for traced courier if it is clear that the one they sent is lost... That is very good of them. They said it could take a couple more weeks to this part of the world... So I'll give it a couple more. Then, uh, I need to get them to fill out an inquiry form incase it got detained at a post-shop here. Because I f*ck*d up the address details. Correct building name but incorrect number. I'll be massively embarrassed if that is the problem. Anyway... It means a lot to me to have a model kit... So... I hope it arrives soon...
Feeling a bit... Disturbed. But the weather has been stormy. And people are a bit weird at the moment because of exams. And I'm a bit concerned about mine. So...
