Wow. it's been 5 weeks since I last updated.
And I haven't visited LJ once in those five weeks. so I'm completely and utterly out of the loop. Again, if anyone is still here... I apologize for the neglect. And as usual, LJ pals, let me know how you're doing!
CAN YOU BELIEVE THE SEMESTER IS OVER?! it's over tomorrow, officially, but you know... It seems like I just started a couple of days ago and voila, exams are upon us...
School is CRAZY. I have no time to eat, sleep or do anything resembling having a life.
Right now I should be studying for the physics exam. It's in five days. I actually know just as much as I did at the beginning of the semester. And that's bordering on nothing. Physics is all I've been doing for the last five days. I see "F=ma" in my dreams.
Basically my exam schedule is a mess, I have 10 exams in three weeks. That's two, three exams a week. And in some cases (like math and statistics) I have to study for two really huge exams at the same time because they're only two days apart. I have NO idea how I'm going to survive this. Lots of coffee?
I think... well, the psychology exams are a piece of cake (minus statistics and physiology stuff, which requires studying time. time which I don't really have) but the biology tests are getting in the way and I honestly don't know how I'm supposed to have time to study for everything.
I think I may have taken on more than I can handle.
:/
I mean it's fascinating, and I love biology to death, but two degrees in three years is... well, it's kind of too hard.
I'm not quitting, not yet... just really, really really tired. I see people who study like 20 hours a week and I want to strangle them.
Oh, good news stuff. I got an awesome scholarship program. Basically they cover my entire tuition for three years (!!!), plus I get 600 shekels a month in cash, plus I get a free tutor to help with anything school-related.
The cool part is, I don't need to do ANYTHING in return. No volunteering, nothing.
It's fucking brilliant.
And it's because I'm from Dimona (can you say affirmitive action??).
See, kids? Coming from a messed up town really helps.
So... okay. Back to physics.
