HOW GOING
THE?
I've been really comfortable in my own skin for quite some time now. The Space & Material semester is something I've been looking forward to and I like the course material. I work hard, but luckily my hard work is rewarded with good grades.
Compared to last year, I have much more motivation and passion, because this training is much better suited to my talents and I get an incredible amount of energy from that.
DO YOU RUN ANYTHING IN YOUR STUDY?
Yes occasionally. There are certain issues at school, including communication, that have been discussed with the teachers and students, but these are often resolved in a pleasant way and have no direct impact on my results or how I feel outside of school.
I do notice that my ADHD sometimes gets in the way. I have just switched medication and that often takes several weeks, which makes me tired quickly and have little focus during this transition period.
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE CURRENT SITUATION ON YOUR STUDY?
If I have to give it a grade, I think of a 4 or a 5. It's not that bad. I do not find the online lessons always effective, but they are not annoying and it also saves travel time. I can spend that time more usefully than when I'm on the train.
I do miss contact with my fellow students. I do have a lot of contact with my homegroup, but I would like to see them more often in real life. It's also annoying that we don't have all the freedom to go where we want, but I've accepted it for now and it doesn't have much impact on my state of mind.
HOW DO YOU STAY MOTIVATED?
I try to eat healthy and exercise, which gives me more energy to go to school. By keeping a good balance between my social life and school life, it is easy to do and I stay motivated.
Consulting with fellow students and looking at each other's work also helps me a lot. When I see how others are doing it often gives me a boost to get started myself. This is possible during the lessons on location, but outside of school I also meet with people from my homegroup and we consult a lot via teams and whatsapp about school assignments.
CHAIN ANALYSIS
I'm working on a
school assignment
on my laptop
I decide
a short break
take and fetch
something to eat in
the kitchen
Meanwhile I'm watching
on my phone.
I reply to
messages and talk
with friends.
Someone sends
a link of a
instagram post.
I open the app
and scroll further.
Before I know it
are there 30 minutes
past. My break
was actually just
15 minutes.
Meanwhile I get
again messages from
friends and start
me new
conversations
Without me
be aware of
time flies and on
the end of the day
do i have the assignment
not finished.
