Life of a Chronically Stressed HSC Student

Wow, 4 exams in 3 days sounds intense! At least you will knock most of your subjects out in one sweep, then.
Is there anything you are planning to do to celebrate being exam-free?

Yea, that's true - I won't have to worry about exams for too long. Not all my friends are as lucky as me to finish early though, so we will just have to wait and see. But there will DEFINITELY be celebrations, let that be known.

So I took a rest day from studying yesterday - I was feeling guilty about it, but I realised that it made me sooo much more productive today. I've ticked off a lot from my to do list - and I've started colour coding them by level of difficulty !!! (Thanks Justin_L)
I've also decided to make my History Project a challenge - it's due in Week 9, but I really need a draft by week 5 ~. So I've decided to make a 10 day challenge, where I write 250 words of it each day, and by the end of it I should have a draft of my essay. I'm thinking I should do this for the PIP too! Except that would be double the amount - 500 words per day.

So glad to hear you did this! Rest days make a HUGE difference on your morale long term. You could even designate a whole day off if you feel like it's okay to (maybe Saturdays or Sundays if you are already busy on them anyway) so you can do your own thing and be guilt-free. Making to-do lists and colour coding things will be great combats against the potential allure of wanting to procrastinate forever. Keen to see how this holds up for you and whether it helps in keeping you productive! ;D

Wrote 500 words of my History Project last night, woohoo!! It's actually wayyy easier than I thought. This whole time, I thought that the readings that I was annotating were completely useless - but I actually referenced a substantial amount of information from them. Also, making source summaries helped a lot, since I didn't need to keep going back to the source - I could just refer to my one Google Doc. I suggest this to anyone who is conducting a significant amount of research (if you aren't doing this already).

To-do list
- I'm going to work on my PIP: polish up my introduction and continue secondary research (struggling to find a clear cross-cultural component though. I'm hoping I can do a bunch of comprehensive research, and then just integrate the cross-cultural component when I find it)
- Work on writing an essay for Mod A in preparation for my assessment task in Week 5
- Polish up my Mod A 'cheat sheet': sort through the quotes and see which ones are the most versatile in terms of themes
- Work on my Human Rights notes for Legal
- Start notes for History Extension (hella late, I know, but better late than never)
I'm just going to leave it there, for now, don't wanna overshoot and end up not completing my list!
