And people wonder why I have no life.
My mom is nagging at me at how I use the com too much, and how she never sees me working. Bleargh. While I'm not disagreeing with her on this point, she's saying that I should spend every second of my free time doing practice questions. Probably this new onslaught is brought on by me telling her I failed Physics (S). I fear to see what telling her I failed Chem even worse entails (U). Whoopee doo. Oh by the way, she's saying like I should be doing it at a cram school. (Discipline myself such that first, I don't touch the TV or com until absolutely necessary ie work, and second, to time myself when doing practice questions. BLEARGH.) GRAH. (In the meantime, to console myself, I'm telling myself that I at least got 2 more As and a B.)
What's more, she's "backing" everything up with personal anecdotes. Look, I can't manage everything the same way, ok? I destress by watching TV, reading mangas, etc. I do NOT destress by cracking my head on questions I cannot do. Conversely, I get more stressed. And there's no point in always revising questions I know how to do already. Oh, and I'm tuning her out right now. Bah.
Of course, I'm not saying she doesn't have a point. It probably IS due to the fact that I didn't do enough practice for Chem and Physics that I failed so (un)spectacularly. Man, a science student failing his sciences. Maybe I should have went into Arts after all...
Thusly, I shall resolve to do more TYS questions every weekend, at least a few hours at each time. Build things up slowly. Once (if) I finish one run, then start over again until I'm pretty sure about all the questions. Rinse and repeat.
Hopefully, I'd get better grades keeping this schedule as a 'habit'. Or at least more central grades instead of grades that lie on both extreme ends of the spectrum.
