Good moaning OT Defectives!

The sun is up, the birds are singing, and I have an appointment with a super hot man who is going to apply oil then rub my meniscus for 30 minutes.

I've briefly found myself a little bit overwhelmed with having to study after not having to do it (or much else) for a long time, but I'm managing to convince myself that I'm overreacting. It's just very distressing to see that I have all these assignments due in a few weeks, but I guess I have to remember to breathe and realise that they're not as intimidating as I've made them out to be. I mean, one of them is a mere six-hundred words, so it's easy! But then I have one that seems as though it'll be significantly longer and then suddenly the six-hundred word assignment feels like it's getting in the way, and I more or less add all the assignments up in my head as if they're one giant assignment and I don't know my brain is being really dumb! I should be fine though. :p

I love the thought of you studying.

I found the secret to my success when studying nursing a few years ago was to be organised, no procrastinating and commit yourself to the word count function.

You will be more than fine! You're gonna be famous!!!!

Any hotties in your class?

Ha, I actually said today in class, "Ugh, why are they making us write so much?" and someone turned around and said, "Well, you know Jake this is a professional writing course..." :tongue:



I couldn't believe it took that long to become a vet! Although now that I think about it they do have to learn to treat a whole range of species, and I can barely even name very many animals...

Yes, that definitely does seem the best way to tackle assignments, and I did tell myself before I started to implement that sort of strategy, but I keep putting it off, which obviously goes against the entire purpose of said strategy! I think my anxiety unfortunately makes me a huge procrastinator, so I think I have to start pushing myself a tiny bit harder. I'm not one to write down a list of things to do and I've never ever used a school diary, but I think maybe I should start writing at least in the calendar and setting myself daily goals or whatever, just to make it more tangible.

I think I need to commit to a diary of some sorts too. I use the heck out of my phone with appointments, assignment due dates, bills etc. but I find I still need to create a chart and write these things down so they are in my face day to day. I cross each thing off each time too because for some reason it further motivates me because it makes me feel like I've accomplished these small things.

It seems silly and a waste when I have the phone but it works for me.
 
I'm a little over people passing judgement on how others get their money and how they choose to spend it.

Totally agree... unless you are talking about a Centrelink payment.

Sick family member with community fundraising. They've decided to fly home between chemo. Discussions about it being a waste of money. And it's not one of those self righteous 'I've donated so I can have an opinion' , cos they haven't donated.

But what annoys me is I've been invited to the Mardi gras with my friend and I said no because I don't want to become gossip fodder for these people.
