For the start of the Autumn term I felt very confident in my
work, finding the courses easy I had no worries about it. From receiving my
first piece of coursework however, this perception changed greatly. The work
felt like it was collecting far too quickly with tightly packed deadlines that
I felt I would be unable to meet in the time frame. With two exams added to the
mix as well I felt a fear of failure.
Overcoming my initial panic, I devised a plan. Taking each
piece in turn I worked through them confidently. Upon the success of finishing
the first item, my workload seemed to half and the whole task seemed more
manageable. Working through them all I found the work easier than I had first
anticipated and completed it all with time to spare.
For the exams I felt a familiar fear in the lead up to it,
having always being slightly unnerved by exams. This was more prevalent for the
Academic Skills exam where my natural instinct to revise could not be fulfilled,
resulting in a build up of stress. This worry continued into the exam where it
lead me to rush slightly too much at stages due to worries about getting the
work done.
Overall I found the workload manageable but it does leave me
with some concerns over later requirements where more will be required in
similar time frames. However I remain confident that if I plan my time and begin
work on each task when I receive them that I will be able to meet the
requirements.
