End of term approaching.
Yayness!
Unfortunately, that implies the beginning of JCT which is apparently, just another hurdle in my life. Well, at the age of 17, I believe I am a "seasoned warrior" in the battle against a sheet of paper. Usually, it's a draw. (Kinda weird metaphor but heck)
Haha.
Oh goodness. I'm really struggling with Chem. Drop to H1? Perhaps.
I just don't quite get the picture. It's super complex and Mrs Lim-Leong made O Level Chem so easy to us. I think it's the style of teaching in JC. I haven't adapted yet. Or maybe I just can't be bothered to do so. In my immature, used-to-be-spoon-fed mind, reading lecture notes on my own is really difficult.
Sadness. But this had gotta go! I'm gonna take the plunge. I'm gonna work hard, or doubly hard. I'm gonna ace my tests. (At least I'll try).
Flipped through this book by Adam Khoo "Sth Sth.. Strategies to Improve Sth" (Pardon me, it was a super long title).
It mentioned, to perform for exams, you need self-believe and determination. Determined to work hard and get basics right and when you start getting high scores, you'll build up your confidence level when you get all forms of praises from peers or tutors.
"Wow, your Math damn pro sia!"
That's something I'd wish to hear, one day.
When that happens, you'll feel the urge to set you in the momentum of maintaing results. Productive work is hence done - like reading notes before lessons, diligently doing your work, etc.
OMG.
Sounds so easy, yet difficult to implement. I need to admit I lack self-discipline when it comes to studying alone. I used to be able to do that very well. Somehow, I lost touch on that.
Depressed.
Goodness gracious, I must start working, soon. No use praying 'cos whatever it is, I am the determinant of my future. Crappy.
Sadly, it's your grades that display your intellectual abilities. Some people can be smart in terms of their response to certain matters but still do not get As for tests, etc. It's pretty sad for them don't you think. Fortunately/Unfortunately, I kinda lie in between. Situation is rather difficult for me. SO MANY DISTRACTIONS and only one mind & heart to control the temptation to succumb.
Fallible humans we might be, but never do we surrender.
Keep that in mind.
