Now I have the major projects to get through. A 50% essay based on the course text, a 40% qualitative research project, a 30% essay based on course readings and a 35% book review on a book that I have yet to read. What's the tragedy? THREE of these major projects are due on the SAME day - November 28th. I also have a make-up test scheduled for the 25th, that's when my 50% essay is due as well. Oh, and I haven't started on any of the above mentioned things. I start NOW! Panic much?
I would normally die with an anxiety attack but I realized how much a difference it makes to you when you have positive people lined around you, who believe in you, no matter what the circumstance. I don't wanna be raving about him in every blog post, but I just can't seem to get my head around it. He is SO encouraging and positive about EVERYTHING. And I am the complete opposite, the epitome of negativity. That's what I spread too with my anger and anxiety. And I am not proud of that. Somehow, with his strong sense of belief in me, keeps me going and helps me from procrastinating. I do wanna thank you whole-heartedly for that. You remembering my test dates, my projects and tracking how much I am done - just reminds me of mom and dad. No wonder we're all family :)
Out of the cheesy confessions now.. I seriously am getting sick and tired of Transit. My test is gonna be booked after December 8th (after my final exam). And I am just praying it doesn't snow too hard till then. Else, I wouldn't feel confident going for my driving test at all and I REALLY don't wanna wait another 4 months for it. Apart from that, I cannot believe HOW QUICK this semester went. I mean, hello? I don't even know how to even back-track, I only think we've had 8 or 9 lectures so far. And the time just flew by - I am preparing for final projects and exams! How quick will be the next semester? I also went for a Degree Check at the Office of Registrar's. I need three courses in the summer to graduate in November. I was taking it slow because I thought I would come back for another semester, I don't think my parents like or appreciate that idea. I just wanted to do that because it's my last chance to pull my grades up (a little too late, perhaps, yes - but better late than never). A lot of people do a 5th year, and I am only planning a semester - which will also give me the following semester to prepare for LSAT or look at MSW admissions, if not law school. And instead of studying in the summer, I can work to pay off the OSAP for this year. Sounds like a good plan? Only to me. My parents are typical about graduating "on time" and stepping into another degree "as soon as possible." I really don't wanna do that. I am gonna be finishing two qualifications - a Certificate from Humber for a Legal Assistant and then an Honours Bachelors, Specialist in Criminology & Socio-Legal Studies. Do I really wanna step foot into another degree right away? Not really. I wanna volunteer at Youth Facilities in the Peel Region and get a taste of what it is to work in a field as such. This will also help me make a decision as to whether I wanna pursue MSW (Masters of Social Work) which is a diverse field, or write the entrance exam for law school.
For some reason, I have it all planned out and organized in my head. But when it comes time to implement, I always usually do what my parents ask me to do. So, I really don't know how that will go. I am still pretty confused about what I would like to do. I always wanted to do something with Social Services or Law. I have a huge variety of streams to choose from because these fields are so diverse. Okay, pause. Shut up Aditi, stop getting ahead of yourself. You got like 5 days to finish 4 major projects plus a test. Maybe, work on that first? Okay, yeah. Thank you :$
I cant believe how fast time has flown either..
ReplyDeleteI should get a degree check done too actually.
How are the counsellars? Last time I went, the counsellar I got was sooo unbelievably UNHELPFUL.
Fucking horrible and condescending not to mention.
An MSW aye? Good stuff.
I'll be taking the year off to write my MCAT and do pre-req courses. I hope it goes well, along with volunteering like mental, haha, and dont forget working to start paying off OSAP, and start making some money for medical school.
Life is going waaaaaaaay too fast. :)
Telling other people about your plans helps you better organize them for yourself, I think.
In your head its just a jumble of possibilities. When you tell other people, you have to sit down and think about the HOW.
So keep it going
