being confident about being confident

man, what a crazy week, with two more to come. a barrage of mid-terms and papers and assignments. literally feels like my head is full.

having a tough time being confident i know what’s required for the exams - writing two essays in less than an hour really doesn’t lead to my best work, so it’s often hard to guage if you’ve made sense, and actually, really know the materials.

i’ve certainly forgotten what it was like to be overwhelmed like this from my past university experience, probably since i didn’t really care.

gotta shake that negative pretense before exams - that it’s too much, since when it’s over, it’s over - the stress is done. in the past i found it easier to learn practical visual skills, so translating dates, times and events into something visual has been a challenge. especially difficult when the material is not put into any context other than dates and times - i’ve had really good instructors that can chunk the material into digestible logical groups, seems this time that organization is up to the students.
