finally finished with prelims. HD 115 was good~ studied the study guide and some questions were directly taken from there! The one that i really screwed up was physics, because i left studying to the last minute but i got sick (it was the nail varnish, i tell you) so couldn’t study properly. 

been reading over my entries dating back last year and year 13. Many of them were academic based. I wrote in the beginning of my freshman year that i can’t get any Cs… must get As… but now 2 semesters of bad grades i’ve sort of become accustomed to it? And lost the motivation? And lost that basic feeling that Cs are BAD? Then i give the excuse that i hate the subject; but perhaps its just that i allow short term happiness to shadow over my long term goals – ie: short term: watching TV makes me happy. Long term: Aceing exam make me happy. I need to understand that in order to achieve long term, i must cut down on the short term.

I really need to study ahead of time; and make studying a habit even if i don’t like studying. To achieve LT goals.

I want to rediscover the feeling of going into a test feeling totally prepared and coming out feeling like there’s an A in my pocket. On a regular basis. (This is hard at cornell…even the total smart asses don’t feel like always feel like that… but miraculously, that’s going to happen to me.)

Cs are bad. and i’m NOT going to get any more.

I hope i’m not going to be embarassed because i don’t achieve the goals listed above.

Consider that my “almost birthday” new age resolution.
