This week began with a bang! We had to come for only one hour in the afternoon and to be honest, I was not very happy to drive all the way for an hour only?! But to my surprise, I actually enjoyed the hour and was disappointed that it ended so quickly. I wanted the lecture to go on!
Tuesday was cool! We had the Biology lecturer who at the moment is every one's favourite! There is a certain joy and motivation that comes from being taught by someone who is passionate about their subject and that is just what this lecturer is. The amazing thing about this lecturer is his ability to make a difficult topic easy by the way he describes the sequence of events. It's like loving the marmite that you so much hate! Am I making sense?
Something else that caught my attention is that almost everyone had done the mathematics test except for me. But on this beautiful Tuesday evening, I had vowed not to sleep without my maths results printed and ready to hand in. So after finishing at uni I hurriedly got home. Made sure that supper was ready and then sat myself at my computer desk and away I went. I did a little revision before doing the test and boy was I making mistakes.
What I liked about it is that I kept persisting. I would try to do sample questions and get them wrong but I did not give up. I would go back to the notes and worked examples and keep trying until I got the gist of it. My persistence payed off. I finally did the test and got a remarkable grade which left me drained but with much happiness! I did it on the first attempt! Hurray, my hard work payed off! Now who said maths was hard, eh?
What I did not like about the whole experience was having left it just a tiny bit late. I mean, okay, let me not be too hard on myself because we had by the end of this week to finish it. I could have done it sooner.
Next time, I do not intend to wait too long. I will try to get onto things straight away. I did revise beforehand so that must be something worthwhile.
This is not an excuse...I had a lot of catching up to do and prioritising sure can be difficult. But I will keep trying till I get it right. We learn from mistakes - at least I know I do.
Let's see how the rest of the week fairs on.
Goodbye and good luck!
