CONGRATS! You made it over "slump time" and now things should start to go smoother and be less intensive as the semester wraps up.
1) What are you most stressed-out with at the moment? Why? Is your body re-acting to this stress? Devise a plan to deal with it. (Who do you turn to when you are stressed?)
Right now i am super stressed out with Anatomy. I have my quiz on tuesday that i have to study for and know all the drawings for the veins and then i have the exam on tuesday that i have no even started to study for. I'm going to be cramming like crazy the next few days. I didn't even realize how stressed out i was until just this moment and i'm not very happy anymore. I dont know how my body is reacting yet. I just found out i was stressed. I'm going to study my ass off for the next few days. Basically live at the library because i know i wont be much done this weekend.
2) READ the following excerpts from last year's UN100 on how they approach studying and retention of information from textbooks. These are extremely successful and their grades are reflecting it. If you haven't cracked your Anatomy textbook especially, you are doing yourself a great disservice!
"Steps that I take include skimming over the chapter, analyzing the preview & questions about the chapter, read headlines and depict the bold terms in context. When I do a reading assignment, the very first thing I do is flip through the pages and look for visuals that would enhance my comprehension of the chapter. I read the preceeding paragraph or overview of the chapter and try to answer the questions as I follow along in the context..then look up bold terms to understand their definitions. By knowing the highlighted words, it's easier to understand what the chapter is actually about. When I cover all these necessary steps, it is easier for me to complete a reading assignment and feel prepared for an upcoming quiz or test."
