Tomorrow, Or Should I Say Today?

Tomorrow is a big day, Tomorrow is approaching too fast, I'm not ready for tomorrow. So what do I do? I sit here at 2am, completely awake, completely unable to sleep. My mind is racing about the gravity of the amount that I need to do and I don't know if I can actually physically cope with it.



I'm probably being dramatic.



Tomorrow brings the beginning of my fifth term of this course,  out of a potential 9 that I will experience in Brighton. And it starts with exams. If any of you have read my blogs from May then you'll know exactly how stressed I get about exams and now is no exception. But this time I'm going to do things slightly differently. I'm setting myself on a rigorous schedule of doing 8 hours a day for 6 days a week, spanning through the rest of January doing either assignments, lectures or revision, and I'll be doing this in uni. Here it is:


  1. Get up at 8am, this is achievable by setting the alarm for 7am
  2. Spend time with God in the morning, prayer is going to be so essential, and I won't get anywhere on my own
  3. Make sure I have breakfast
  4. Get into uni for around 9, stay there.
  5. Make sure I have lunch
  6. Make sure I have dinner
  7. Sleep at a decent time (ignoring the fact that I'm currently blogging at 2am!)
  8. Make sure I get to the gym 3 times a week, the increase in fitness will help to increase productivity as well as getting a break from academic pursuits.
All of these seem small, but at the moment, as someone who has no routine, who eats only when she is hungry, and seems to have a total lack of discipline, then this is going to be difficult for me. And with the increased pressure of the grades I'm going to achieve here not only impacting on my final degree classification but my chances of getting anywhere with my application to medical school.

Wish me luck, I'll update soon,

  1. Update: end up stressing so much that I didn't actually sleep, had 2 hours between 9 & 11 so haven't quite had as productive a day as I would have hoped but still pretty good :)
