i am going to finish this lecture!!!
Since starting this blog I've figured out that if I post something on here, I follow through, because I can't stand the thought of having to go online and say, "Hey guys, you know that thing I said I was doing? I actually didn't do it!"
Naturally, the only appropriate response is to wield this information against my own weakness (procrastination!) and start accountability posting.
Today I started studying for the first semester of third year. I still have to take my summer courses, but they're all general electives. Third year is pretty much all majors, so I'm starting now.
It's a bit weird, because studying this early is extremely out of character for me. The only summer studying I've ever voluntarily done is reading science books when I was a kid and then assigned books for English in high school. Since high school meant being required to do science instead of doing it on my own, I avoided really studying it in my free time. Why do more science, when I could catch up on reading and writing instead?
More than anything, I'm scared of doing too much now and then just burning out and not finishing what I intended. Am I going overboard with the note-taking or spending too much time on a single topic? Is my pace too fast or slow? Am I studying right? Ugh. Maybe I should just stop thinking about it.
In any case, here's today's thing I should be doing: I'm going to finish reading through the lecture I've started today, and then do one round of the flashcards I've made for it.
