Mind tricks
I think grad school is made to make us do mind tricks. It’s technically a break for everyone, as it’s undas. But here I am counting the number of pages I have to read by Nov 3!! As of 10:54 PM, my page count is at 400+.
And I mean to say this not to pursue a comparison of what my dear friends in law and med school have to take, but the thing is, I also need to absorb these and construct questions -- provide an analysis that would bring these texts into life!! Mygod!! I hate drugs!!! LOL.
So in an attempt to reduce my anxiety, I have stopped counting. I have decided to print my readings back to back, so as to reduce the panic-inducing thickness of the readings I already have c/o my professors.
Also, DPS has just sent us e-mails asking us to send them a list of the subjects I need to take next semester. At the back of my mind (all while I throw my fears to the nearest recycling bin), I have decided I will take 12 units to achieve my #MIS2020 goal. And so while at the local coffee shop this afternoon, I gulped the bitterness of what I feel is gonna be one of the most challenging semesters of my life. But okay hey hey heyyy. Mind tricks, comfort from close friends and peers, as well as the never-ending support of my family, shall add up (hopefully) and give me more inspiration.
