Pressure of tests and coursework - Uzo

This term has been less stressful in terms of tests and course works compared to other school terms I have experienced in the past. There has been enough time to prepare for the tests and I was able to follow up on schoolwork instead of piling things up till the last minute, which never pans out well most of the time. Generally, there was little pressure and anxiety of tests on me and I have been able to manage the workload properly. Though laziness sets in sometimes and I get nothing on my to-do list for a particular week done, I then have to put in extra effort the following week to cover up for lost time. 

I find it hard to write essays, hence there is a lot of pressure on me in starting the only course work I have been given this term. There has been more than enough time to do research and start typing up but the fact that I do not enjoy writing essays has made it easy for me to procrastinate.

This term has been fairly easy, I see it as an orientation into the system, but as time goes on, next term, I sense the workload would become heavy. I will have about 3 course works or there about to submit so there will be little or no time to faff about and lounge. Also, the tests I would be having are going to cover everything learnt from week 1 and that requires a lot of studying. The thought of this really frightens me.

The only key to making life a lot easier for myself is to stick to this method of following up on everything I am taught by making notes on all my respective topics so when tests come along, revision becomes easy and avoid panicking.  Also making a study timetable will help me to organise myself each day. It is difficult to keep to it, as it is easier said than done, but worth it in the end.
