I went in thinking "There are no exams, it's all just coursework, piece of cake" BOY was I wrong.
So naive Zoe -___-"
It isn't like school AT ALL, the coursework load, the referencing, learning biology without having the a-level knowledge, it's all a bit overwhelming.
There isn't much time left, so I am making "Mid year targets" just so I know where I'm going for the short time I have left:
- Manage time better: Because there are only a few months left, this is VITAL
- Complete first drafts so I can receive feedback for coursework and improve then be done with it
- Make a list of all the coursework I've completed and what I have left
- Get help where it's needed!
Reflection of the year so far
So looking at the targets I set earlier this year, I wasn't always on point e.g.:
- Posting on my blog
- Getting a job
- Spending 2 hours on coursework everyday
However some targets were met:
- Finish UCAS: I have an offer for the the second year of Biomedical Science at the University of Hertfordshire!
- Finish personal statement
- Perfect CV: I have updated this and am now looking for a job for summer
- Attend every class (despite lateness)
- Making a social network group: Using a app called Whatsapp I made a group for me and some of my classmates that have the same goals as me for us to share and talk about the course. This has come in handy for whenever we can't reach teachers or need front sheets for coursework etc.
So setting targets wasn't a waste of time at all, looking at how much I've done compared to what I haven't shows me that if you make targets and TRY meet them, you will ^__^
