Yes. I have a seminar that I have to give in around one months time. I need to write the darned thing and get a draft to my supervisor pronto.
I haven't done much in the way of writing it. I'm finding it hard to write it because when I sit down to write it I get anxious about how little I've done and about how I don't really have time to do a good job of it.
But...
Every little bit helps. Every little bit.
Instead of worring about what you haven't done and what you don't have time to do (which I am just great at worrying about) see if you can focus on the idea that every little bit that you do is likely to help you more.
If you skip the test you will get... O%?
If you don't study at all between now and the test you will get... You will scrape a pass? Maybe get a B? You have done that before...
If you study as best you can tomorrow...
You could bring your grade up 5% or 10% or whatever...
Could mean the difference between a pass and a fail...
Or a scrape through and a reasonable mark...
Or a reasonable mark and a great mark...But if you skip the test you will get...
Nothing.
Hang in there, Deneb.
I'd better get back to it myself...
