Post-exam euphoria? Depression?
Alright, exam #2 is out of the way. Let's hope I did better on this one than the first. During these last few weeks of test preparation, essay writing and scavenging through my disorganized notes, I've had some time to reflect.An old family (we're certainly not the only ones to use it) proverb comes to mind: "You never have time to do it right, but you always have time to do it twice."
This is a painful realization, as I find myself procrastinating, losing my notes, depriving myself of sleep, just like always. Somehow, proper preparation is always too much work, but doing something at the last minute under enormous stress is somehow better. Similarly, I am realizing, as I always do at the end of every semester, that a bit more studying and effort earlier on would have saved me untold trouble at the end of the semester...This doesn't all exactly relate to the proverb, but it's close. Humans are creatures of habit; try as I may, I can never seem to change them. And with that in mind, I'm off to the library for some last-minute studying. Sigh...
