The Price Of Slacking Off
I am not a procrastinator. I don't usually leave things till the last minute. I like getting things done and out of the way as soon as possible.
That's why I have my study plan ready a month before my exams.
I don't like stress, and with the whole testing anxiety that Ive got (no signs of getting better) its a lot easier to just start in advance.
BUT, (yes theres a but) since its my last semester I figured why not slack off?
Who cares about grades anyway. I certainly don't. Not one bit, and I'm not being sarcastic.
If I get straight A's or straight D's its not going to make one bit of a difference. So I decided not to attend class unless absolutely necessary. i.e If i get a warning and/or threat about not being able to take my finals due to my excessive absences.
I already missed a bunch of quizzes, and all I keep thinking about is why haven't done this before! not caring is a bliss!
I just discovered why my parents, teachers and whoever else told me not to leave things till the last minute .
Because I never showed up to school I was extremely late finishing up my requirements. I have to have a certain number of clinical hours and cases to be able to take my practical finals.
Last week was my last chance. I left things till the very last day! So i drilled and filled till my fingers went numb.
My god it was hard work! I barely crossed the finish line.
The worst is not over yet.
I'm paying a dear price this week and eating tibin cause I have to take every single one of my practicals! All my subjects.
If it was just work then fine, I can handle that, but a Dr stands next to me and fires questions at me while I work.
So I have to hit the books and review what I think could be possible questions.
Do you know how much work that is!
How much energy it requires!
My roommate got 3 out of the way, some of my friends up to five!
UGH!
I'm totally hating the extended vacation I gave myself.
I'm worn out just thinking about it!!
Wish me luck people! I need it!

Although I am liking what I am reading, I can not stop fearing the worse. I keep asking myself, why medicine? I guess that what happens with nerds. Yes we are nerd, wether we like it or not. Ana bad3elech if you promise to do the same to me. But look at the bright side ha? Only few more months and then you will be able to kill kids with congenital heart disease (VDS, PDA) who are not on prophylactic antibiotics?! How cool is that? Not so cool I guess. I am loosing my sanity, that is very sad. So sad...
LOL @ eating tibin.
I work best under pressure, although it is a very risky game. Alas, I never learn from my mistakes. Good luck :)

gilna take a break and slack off :P bes the trick is to do it moderately :P
like for instance this week i ditch these classes next week i attend them and ditch the rest :P
its sacrilege to not procrastinate in dooda's world :P
OOhhhh I can sooo relate to you.
I was a major procrasinator last year and I endedup being the last person to finish up my research requirements in my masters program, I had to ask for an extension twice! It was horrible and I never want to be in that position again.
Good luck!
goood luuuck! ;)
bs how come getting straight A's or D's won't make any diff? ;/
Good luck with that, you shouldn't have given yourself that much free time! It feels good but comes back and bites you in the ass!
Your grades are for you, you should really care about them! Not for anyone else! :)
good luck!
I'm going through the same thing!
dnt u just hate that.. lazem el wa7ed ykoon 3enda sor3at badeeha o plenty of memory space in the brains + LOADS of energy.. bas u kno what the best part about it is?
wen the day is over and u hit the sacks, its the best feeling ever!!!
mwfgaaaa inshallah hope you catch up !! *huugs*
Allah e wafgich inshallah, you'll do fine inshallah :)
Good luck, u'll do fine don't worry..
Best of luck eshda3wa, you are close to the finnish line though, that is a fact.
I am a procrastinator, big time and proud of it :P. My last semester 7addy l3abt. glad I left dentistry, but you know aham shay is the board exam and after that its gonna be heaven for u inshallah :)
You can do it! Most likely because you have to, so don't worry, you'll be done with it one way or another... just make sure the quality is in there somewhere :P
i could say you should have known better but "whom am i to say this"
:p
but really i wish u the greatest of the greatest luck in the world and if mashallah u have the ability to organize everything (which i dont have!) u should use it in good ways and not ignore this even for a split second!!
take care and be the 1st!!
Oh i am ashamed to say that I am one of those who who keep things to the last minute.. although i am very organized and neat, i keep things to the end.. donno why!
I did that same thing one semester and I regretted it afterwards cuz it pulled down my final average which really pissed me off.
But listen, we all go through periods like that. It's only normal. And sometimes it takes phases like that for you to know what you want or what you don't want ;)
I hope you do great and I'm sure you will.
Good Luck!
Goodluck :)
I know how your feeling...My middle name is STRESS...
It's not the grade that matters...it's ur health don't do it again to urself :)
I'm sure u'll do good...GOODLUCK again!
Hi! I just saw your super sweet msg and just wanted to leave u a little thank u!
And regarding ur difficulty to read Arabic, Ive been writing in Arabic for only one year and believe me I didn’t think I will pull it off, practice makes perfect I guess lol ! I do try to make my writings very simple.. Being a qualified translator im used to that.
The good news is, Im planning to write only English articles this year, im still not sure of where I will publish them, there is a new magazine concerned with health and family which contacted me regarding this matter.. I think English readers will have the chance to go beyond my articles and straight to my resources since all of the books I use as reference are written in English and translations are not available.
Please do keep coming back to my blog! I promise u more English health articles as soon as possible! Nothing makes me happier than seeing mega sweet comments and emails like yours!
Love
jumana
p.s. I LOVE YOUR HAIR
and regarding ur current post, dont be so harsh on urself ! weve all been there .. dont worry, it will all end soon and u will laugh about it i promise :*
Good luck!!!
Use your wits to get things done at the last minute.
I procrastinate intentionally to see how i can do at the pressing points.
I do it well and usually i find elegant ways of getting things done in the shortest possible time.
It is not advisable to procrastinate, unless you trust your wits and take the responsibility of what you do.

Don't worry you'll be okay :) take care.
