... and give you one about RL instead. Aren't you grateful?
University started this week and I'm kinda pooped already. Doing too much worrying over exams and my B.A. paper and how to juggle it all in but one semester. Which meant pushing lectures and seminars around, hoping for the best. Damn General Studies. Everything would have been so nice without you.
So last semester I chickened out with Hebrew (as with other things), almost broke my brain over it and my initial fear of FAILING forced me to give up before I had even TRIED. This way I could avoid losing my face, it wasn't really failing, right? WROOONG. I hate how I always tend to pull out at the last second. Horrible attitude, I know. So I'll try again, I'll go for it this time, hopefully with 100% focus and concentration ò_ó Also this way I won't have to write 4 exams (and one paper) for GSII but only need to face ONE written exam and one oral since Hebrew rewards me with 16 credits at once. Unlike with the other GSII courses that hand out 4 credits at best. It's just the most logical conclusion. On top fo that, Hebrew saves me from reading a shitload of heavy, boring books about such nice topics as Cognition&Information for Philosophy (ewwww) or Labour& Organisational Psychology (ewwww²). In the end it'd be like 5 exams in total as opposed to like... 9. Not that bad, huh? Yeah, I can totally live with that.
That aside, Laura told me I had to take the specialisation exam in English, after all *sobsobsob* As well as attending the colloquium. Despite the fact that I'm not planning to do my B.A. in English. Nrghdhdasdll. Naturally that means specialisation exam for Scandinavian Studies as well. I somehow had managed to block it all out and now it's coming back to haunt me. Bah.
I've felt so bad for the last few days, you have no idea ;_; My pretentious claim to finish University this semester was just that: pretentious. It made me feel like the greatest disappointment on earth mimimi ´3` Add to that a topping of fresh insecurity about meeting future job-requirements~ et violá: You get a quivering, hopeless Lucca-mess. I'll try to see if I can get an appointment for psychological counselling, I guess I really do need that, all considered Dx Gyaah. Did I mention that I thought about taking exams for Norwegian&Danish as well? It might look good on a CV later on...
TL;DR MUCH AGONISING HAS BEEN DONE OVER EXAMS BUT ALL'S GOOD NOW.
