Slowing down the squirrels
Well, I knew at one point my body would give me a trouble for not taking care of myself and it happened today. During my online class, when the teacher explained a complex equation, my heart started skipping beats. As I tried to take my usual fast paced notes, my brain would hear one things but my fingers were scribbling a bunch of none sense. The palpitations were not a first but this lost of cognition in attempting to put letters and numbers the right way was unique.
Don’t get me wrong, I would write the various symbols and see my mistakes right away and could correct it but than I would lose a portion of the teachers instructions. So, as I could assess that I simply couldn’t keep up because of my overall exertion, I took the best decision I could take in such circumstances and went back home. I notified my study buddies that I had to take it easy this weekend and they were very supportive.
After careful consideration with a little more rest in me, I’ve decided to change the layout of my courses. If I can, I’ll ask to be moved to a math introduction class I discovered as I studied the course choices more closely. If not, than I’ll abandon the differential calculation class to focus on the course I do understand and want to perform well at. Time is on my side as I’m giving myself an entire decade to reach my goal. Even if my bachelor’s program is a bit scrambled at first,courses selection wise, it will lead to better results. Maintaining high grades is more important to me; going fast was never in the equation to begin with.
Here it is, one big decision has been made already, but for the absolute best. My physical and psychological health are more important than trying to prove something to the people in my program. We say in French, “little train goes far", and far is my goal, not fast.
