Oct 28 Mon

October 28 Monday 2024, there are 54 days left before the Postgraduate Entrance Examination. 9:30 am, I wake up from bed. I have been slacking off quite a lot—sleeping late, not waking up on time, and completing fewer tasks than I supposed to do. For this, I’ve conclude the following reasons.

Fristly, The late sleeping causes the late waking up. In recent days, I always slept after midnight. This directly resulted in the difficuty getting up in the morning. I heard my alarm blaring but turned it off, and went back to sleep. I just so drowsy that I can’t get up.

The second is that the almost completion of month tasks ahead of time made me lack the motivation to keep going. That is completing all previous years’ postgraduate entrance examination math questions in this month. Yesterday, I just done the late test, though haven’t correct the failing prombles, which I know I must done in the next day. But when I found there was almost an entire week left for doing this, I just lost the momentum and felt too lazy to study further.

The last is that I became so obsessed with a new platform I found that I can upload test papers and do it online. I like it, uploaded any quiz I want and do it in ipad or iphone anytime. I spent a lot of time to copy the content from my textbook then adjust it to proper formation. In the process, the time I have spent on making online test material exceeded the time have be used into study. It wasn’t quite right, I shouldn’t speed time on things that have little to do with my examination. If I just do it alone, I can give it up easily and focus on my study plan but I invited my two of my friends, also study companions, and form a stduy group. I create test and we both complte it. If I just say “I don’t want to do this” and then disbanded the group. Although I don’t think they would say no or think negetively on me. Thet are quite passionate person. They definitely can understand my condition. But there are better way to slove this problem. That is spend little time on making test itself, do it effectively. That is what I have decided. The reason why making test document comsuming a large part of time is that type the analysis of a question take a major role of the process. So I decided, I am going to add a concise analysis by using chatGPT. This will save a lot of time.

In conclusion, today, I will correct the test that I haven’t done yet. And keep going.
