This is Psalms 42:1 NIV :)

Morning everyone. It's just after 8 am and I woke up to the sound of rain. Talk about a perfect morning on a Monday. As we approach the colder season(my favourite season) here in SA, we've been getting a lot more rain than usual. I'm not complaining though.

Today, in fact this week, a lot + a miracle has to happen. I have to catch up on some notes for all my modules. We're more than halfway through the semester and in one of my modules, I barely have any notes. I had the "bright idea" of doing my readings (including cases that I need to read and summarize) during the week, then during the weekends I catch up on notes I need to make. I thought by doing this, it would allow me to recall all the work I did during the week and to see whether I understood what I read. Because I deal with theory-heavy modules, I NEED to make notes so that I understand the work that I'm doing. And because I'm not perfect, I literally went a few days without touching my books. For someone who wants distinctions in all my modules, my actions are often questionable. :(

Nonetheless, I want to catch up on as much as possible before exam season. So, I wanna start a short series called Operation: Save the Semester. So, for the duration of the semester, I want to dedicate almost everyday to my schoolwork, through readings, note taking, active recall and all the pretty stuff. I think we have a whole month left until I have to take my exams, so I plan to redeem myself at least so my marks are somewhat presentable when I see them. I hope y'all understand. It may seem a bit unrealistic, but I am going to take intentional steps toward saving the semester. Firstly, I need to be honest with what I know and what I don't then we go from there.

Okay, this post is getting too long. I'm gonna go make some Rooibos tea (my favourite), journal and make a to-do list and then see what I can tackle for today. I don't like planning a whole week, but I think I'll have to do so to see how much work I can fit in each day.

I'll see you guys with an update! :)
