History Essay was due in today.
But I've been so stressed, that yesterday I decided just not to do it. Stress' been driving me insane lately.
So I'll be handing it in late. Up to a week late is loss of 15%. I actually thought it was gonna be just 10%, but because our grading system as + and - (ie B+, B, B- etc..), one grade drop is 15%. Oh wellz.
I've never actually handed anything in late before in my life. It feels very weird. I felt extremely weird yesterday knowing that I was going to hand stuff in late. And yet today's been such a relief...
Been so busy with stuff....but that's just an excuse. I know I should have gotten it done.
Trying to get marks has been such a stressful thing in my life. The expectations.... And yet marks didn't turn out to be worth anything. Just stressing and shortening my lifespan for stupid reason.
I decided not to care so much about marks anymore...and just stress less. I learnt a lot...and the marks do not really indicate how much I've learnt or not.
In a similar boat (except I have been bad student for much longer than you have it seems). I like what you said at the end... the marks don't really indicate how much you've learnt or not. I JUST blogged about worrying/anxiety/stress too :) hope we can come out of these experiences a little less stressed and still a lot more productive! All the best with essaying Kev, keep at it and get it in asap!
