Get myself ready for assignments

The first week of July is the first week of my new semester starts. I have to switch back my mode to study mode after a long semester break although I was having MPU subjects during my break. As we know, the first week of class will be a briefing for the subjects and assignments.

Assignment briefs have really pulled me back to the reality that I have to start working hard for submissions as Week 3 is the submission week for 3 assignments. Architecture students are different from other, I had noticed this since my first semester at this university. We always have to make meetings or discussions after 8 pm at night as there is no time for us to do it during the day. We always have to turbo ourselves with rocket speed in order to complete our assignments on time. To be honest, architecture cannot allow laziness as only hard-working is necessary to coop the harsh timelines. This is because we almost need to submit assignments every week. Our tutorials are like submissions, lecturers will definitely expect high-quality works even if it is just a tutorial.

Although I am busy with studying, I appreciate this kind of busy as no pain no gain. To avoid making myself overwhelmed, I have to manage my time effectively. I will spend 30 minutes every Sunday to plan on the timetable for the next week. It makes me easy to complete the tasks on time and avoid procrastination.

Although I am busy working on assignments, I will not forget to spend time on entertainment. The most enjoyable moment in my daily life is the time when I have my meals. Eating time is the time for me to watch clips and Youtube videos. I definitely enjoy my meals with clips and videos even though sometime it might only have 10 minutes for me to enjoy.  Sometimes I even can video call my mom when I am eating and watching clips at the same time. I am confident with this multi-tasking and it helps me save a lot of time.

When I am stressed due to assignments, I will leave my room and talk to my housemates in a shared area. However, I will not share my pain with them and how stressed am I to them. Becasue I don’t wish to spread my negative energy to them. To me, creating more positive energy is the key to success, negative energy will definitely lessen our self-confidence. The reason that I chose to find someone to talk is to release my tense brain after a long period of struggling with assignments or design ideas.

Last but not least, grouping is the most important task when every new semester starts. This semester, I am trying to be a follower because last semester I was a bit exhausted to be a leader for a few subjects. I would be happy if someone can lead me well, at least I can cooperate with him or her. A leader is not that easy to be as every detail is important and needs to be checked by the leader at the very first moment when everyone does not notice the problem. Finding good groupmates is also important as groupmates will determine the quality of the assignment as well as how much time and effort I need to spend in completing the assignments. With good groupmates, I can easily done assignments, however with “free riders” I will have to backup for them.

No matter how will be for this semester, I am ready to accomplish the commitments. I will definitely enjoy my new semester and assignments before the end of 2022.
