I really need to pick up my act with uni. I was already putting in about 10% of effort into every assessment (and even less into focussing in class or going to lectures... I don't think I've been to a lecture since the beginning of semester). But yeah, you know how it goes, you start living your life and academics usually fall to the wayside. I used to really enjoy school. I tried super hard, made friends with my teachers and suffered bullying for being too much of a nerd. I'd do it all for the praise at the end, though. For being liked by people - maybe not students - but by teachers and my parents and my relatives. I guess nowadays, I don't do things to be liked. I do things I like to do. Which means I've been living a rather hedonistic lifestyle and have been completely immersed in theatre - both of which do nothing for my degree. But I don't really care about that, as long as I get the degree - then I am happy.
My mind is so preoccupied with all the fun stuff that's been happening, all the people I've fallen in love with, and all the things I can't wait to do. There's very little to no space available for essays and boring 'in-the-box' thinking that university requires me to leave space for. But I'm going to have to try...
So, from today I am going to organise my end of year assessments properly. I'm going to get a spot on a post grad project for my 8 hours of field experience and bull shit my way through all the assessments that I probably should have started weeks ago. All I want is to pass.
After all, I'm not trying to get anyone to like me. It's just me. & if it's just me, then I'll do as I please.
