#19 End of Semester

End of Semester

Semester Review



End of the semester came so quickly, it felt like #1 has just started and now it's already a few more weeks towards half of #53, really, time flies.

This semester was overall quite hectic that I have had so many things to do and deal with, well, most of them association work and stuff, and because of that, I have neglected quite many things, especially in my studies. Of course, neglection to my studies wasn't solely because of association work, another big reason was because of good-old procrastination.

Remember during #1 I have set up a few goals to achieve during this semester? Well, almost none of them has been realised. For the income part, I think I have achieved almost NT$8,000 a month, still around NT$1,000 to reach the goal, but I think for the next semester I am going to be able to well exceed that goal as I am getting part-time employment. I am going to have so much more time to myself next semester, and I think I am going to focus more on working and saving up money.

For the other goals, none of them has been achieved really, so looking back, I feel like I haven't been achieving anything that I wanted to achieve, only giving time to studies and association work, plus procrastination. Not to say that studies and association work isn't important, but I felt like these two combined have already taken a huge piece of my time pie, and I feel like I don't really have any other time for anything else.

Still, another thing that I am still having a hard time to overcome is my habit of procrastination. The fact is, most of the time I know it damn well that I really have a lot of things queuing up waiting for me to finish, but somehow I just couldn't make myself start really doing it, until the last moment, when panic strikes. I really do not understand how this happens, although I really try to focus and do, sitting in front of my desks, removing the distraction, somehow I just couldn't focus and just unconsciously going to do some other things thinking I am being productive. 

Well, that day I watched this video talking about procrastination and how the mind of a procrastinator works, and I found the description really accurate, so I thought I might want to share it here.

Well, I have been having a lot of fun during this semester and I really enjoyed life. Every day was a busy day but maybe because of that, I didn't bother about many other things, like the semester goals and things like that. I didn't save any money for this semester, and I didn't achieve much of my goals this semester, and I stopped doing Spanish on Duolingo and stuff, I was only focusing on association work as well as studies. But it was really a happy one, probably the one semester that I enjoyed the most and the most stress-free one.

Well, hopefully, I'll be able to meet my goals next semester while I think of what kinds of goals I should achieve, and this time really put my effort into achieving it.
