Mental paralysis

Filed under: academics — apricot @ 6:47 pm

Today, I sat down to take a practice exam. 5 hours later, I stopped. I couldn’t do it anymore; everytime I looked a the computer screen, my eyeballs secreted a protective glaze.

I’ve taken 2 full practice exams already, so perhaps 3 is overkill. Still, I felt discouraged by my inability to persevere.

Similarly I have a hard time concentrating on reading any more. I think I’ve hit that wall–where you have absorbed all you can possibly absorb, and anything more just bounces off like water on rubber.

I suppose I can do last minute summaries and mini outlines, but the space between today and next Wednesday looks like one big empty.

Next update: Thursday the 20th, the day after the exam.
