A week till the midterm examinations begin, a scary prospect, and a reminder to all of us that we have to up our game in this next coming week. The midterms are utterly important, as it will be our carry marks and the overall decider of how well we do in this course for this semester. Honestly, I don't intend on doing any worse than a CGPA of 3.8, so I guess this week would be the be all end all for me, whether I decide to let the laze creep in and effect my results or whether I persevere with my studies and go on to get that scholarship I'm aiming for.
But at this point of time, at the start of the week, the midterms are probably the last thing on my mind. Not that I don't bother about it, I do, but it's just that the amount of workload we have from assignments from almost every subject is piling up while time is running out. True, things would have been a lot simpler if I had decided to complete them way ahead of the deadline, but I guess I really work best under pressure. Deadline week, I call it. We have four assignments out of the five subjects we're sitting for this semester, and all of them are due this week. I've managed to complete everything in time of course, but its just the matter of checking to see if its the best work I can produce. I guess I'm a perfectionist in that sense, nothing less than my best will do.
As far as preparations for my midterms are concerned, I think I'm adequately prepared for it. Of course, it does pay to actually listen attentively in class, since most of the important information is explained during the lectures. Then again, I'm not totally convinced of myself, so I guess its cue me burning the midnight oil almost every night studying every subject and making sure I know all that I need to know, for nothing less would do me justice. Of course, all this would only be possible once I'm done with my assignments. Deadline week, followed by midterm examinations week. Why is it always so jam packed?
Hopefully this next week goes smoothly, with me finishing my assignments and handing in the best possible effort I can, followed by countless nights of studying in preparation for the midterm examinations. No room for error now, its either do or die for me. And in the state of mind I am in now, die isn't really the option of choice. Out of all the subjects I'll be taking, the only one that slightly worries me is Management. I honestly can't connect with that subject, but giving up and forfeiting the fight isn't really in my nature, so I'll try to concentrate harder on this particular subject over the rest of them. I will ace my midterms, I'm sure of it! Heck, a little bit of optimism can't really hurt, can it?
