Why I fail at life (and how the blog suffers)
March 8th, 2007 by Shirukii
*brain implodes*
I’m a failure, and I mean that in the most literal sense possible, having just returned from doing a horrid job on my Dynamics midterm. Although there’s still the exam that’s worth 60% of the overall grade, going into that with a failing grade is NOT fun.
So what does this have to do with blogging? Everything. As with most bloggers, I do this as a pastime, to waste away the occasional few hours which would have otherwise gone unused. However, my studies have begun to take drastic turns for the worse. A combination of my procrastinating ways and the courses being just plain difficult, my grades are starting to slip. This most recent midterm served as a rude awakening, I can’t keep going on like this, lest I really become a failure.
The most obvious solution is to spend more time studying, however, with limited hours of the week at my disposal, this would almost surely result in a proportional decrease in blogging. Exactly how hard I have to fight for a passing grade depends on how lenient the marking (and how glorious the bell curving) of this exam goes. Although I don’t think I’ll have to go as far as stopping indefinitely, rough times lie ahead for AniAri.
I’ll keep everyone posted, please pray for me T_T I need all the support I can get.

You have my support. I used to do at least one post a day… then it went to one every other day… and every two days, then just recently, I haven’t posted in a week. I just no longer feel like posting simply because I still have too much crap I have to finish for school in classes that I’m doing horribly in. I’ve gone from elite to super slump.
Fighto! da yo~
You have the support of anonies such as myself.
Oh don’t worry, I failed every one of my midterms before and I passed every course in the end with a B average. Final’s where it’s important; just work hard then.
Ooooh, Dynamics; Engineering?
I understand how you feel. I’m also in a situation like youself. My advice…Do your best. If you do your best, you can overcome anything. That’s what I believe in!!! (^__^)
In the words of the Hitchhiker’s Guide: Don’t panic.
I wish you good luck in balancing your blogwork and your schoolwork. :3 I know I’ve gotta do that more often.
Hey, really, don’t panic. You’re too young to have a mid-life crisis~! I think everyone’s slowing down on the blogging because life has intervened in some way or another.
Zu~~tto ganbatte! You can do it, Shirukii-san! Shinjite.
Just relax,
We trust u to be able to overcome this challenge, =)
Yee have our blessings on ur coursework =)

@ Os: School is the anime blogger’s worst enemy =( I’m struggling to keep up with my meager 3 posts/week.
@ lolikit: Uguu~ T_T
@ random passerby: Yay for anons, thanks for lurking ^^
@ Moo: Yea, the final is the crucial part of any course, what scares me is the average for the final last year was 32% And yep, engineering indeed.
@ Brian: I’m a slacker at heart, but I guess that has to change sooner or later, I was hoping to scrape by for a little while longer =\
@ Spiritsnare: Thanks for the encouragement, Hitchiker’s Guide was a great book.
@ Whispered.Hope: Haha, I am young indeed, it’s just a little discouraging, nothing I can’t hope to overcome though. Thanks for the support!
@ Nightingale: I shall try my best not to disappoi…ooh flag *grabs*
don’t stress about it. If you realize what you’re doing wrong – that’s a good start.
Oh, and don’t studying harder, study smarter. (You know those irritating people who just seems to get it? Yeah – try to ask them how they do it)
