Exam prep structure

When I study for exams, I try to divide the studying the week before in a way that is logical to the order of the exams. This week, however, I have a feeling I've failed epically with this. I have the following exams this term (in this order):

Dutch
Project Management
Media Theory
Speaking (debating)
Pitching

So, normally, I would've started studying a little bit of everything on the first couple of days, and then focused more on each subject as it gets closer (with Dutch and Project Management first of course). Later, as exam week starts, I would've studied frenetically the night/morning before each exam and crammed. BUT, this time, I don't know what I'm doing. Seriously. The fact that three of the exams are oral and that I also have the project to work on simultaneously messes up my whole structure. Those who know me, know that I am a person who needs structure. Sometimes I think I'm even more German than German my friends in that sense. 


So, let's see how it goes this time. Today it will be 18 degrees and sunny in The Hague so you'll probably find me sitting on the beach studying, or just trying to figure out what to study first. With my indecisiveness, it might be the latter.

this is my whole entire thought process wrapped up into one little picture.  lol

  1. Good luck! I will admit to NOT missing the studying and writing papers and taking tests and forgetting to my homework until the last minute...

    I love the comic btw. So apt!
