coping with the stress of the work load of the first term and exams.

My first term here

In my time here  I have maintained a steady mind and mood. When it came to studying for exams and writing essays I made sure that I would understand the things that I am learning, even trying to catch up on anything I have missed. I have used my usual methods of coping with stress which are socialising and joking around with mates, by doing this, my studying was more efficient. I did one hour of studying and then gave myself some free time just in-case I get distracted too much, by doing this it made my mind refreshed and ready for the next full hour of studying. I was a bit worried over my maths exam but I hit the target I was looking for and this made me very proud of hitting the first target I have set for myself in university and so by hitting the target made me very confident in the rest of my maths classes even though it was not a high score and it was only 40 but I was really worried because I have never learnt any of this maths before unlike everyone else so I was proud of the result.

And in my other classes I am hitting the target I have set for myself so I am finding it very enjoyable and I am happy with the work I am doing. I am improving in many different ways such as being able to work at home is a massive improvement than before coming here because I was in a college environment  for such a long time and I never had to study for an exam or do any homework for a long time so being able to hit the targets I set for myself had me feeling very happy and less stressful then before I came. This has got  me more use to the work load, I know there will be more work ahead but I am feeling less stressful going into the next term then I was when I started.

So I believed I handled the workload and the studying for exams very well, but I have had trouble going to some lessons because I was not getting enough sleep and this is because of  over thinking if I have passed or not but hopefully it won’t be the same next term and I can have a clear mind and be refreshed for next year when this holiday is over.
