I hate to say it but we are moving closer to exam time, the most important part of the year for all distance learning students. No matter how big or small sacrifices have felt over the past year, the sacrifices have been made and they deserve a reward at the end. For some this is the last chance saloon where failure is not an option. So here are some thoughts to inspire you through to the end. I could have written study tips but there are enough already online.
Motivational thoughts in build up to exams

Chinese New Year
March 4, 2015
Well, Chinese New Year finally arrived. The Chinese New Year definitely slowed down my studying pace as I celebrated with my family and friends.
Chinese New Year is a time for family and friends. It’s also time to eat. Therefore, most people actually fall sick after Chinese New Year due to eating too much unhealthy Chinese New Year cookies and drinking fizzy drinks.
Since I don’t have the luxury to fall sick, I watched my eating carefully. I didn’t eat many Chinese New Year cookies or drink many fizzy drinks.

To the future!
August 15, 2014This happens to be the final page of my travel(b)logue, which is what I referred to my blogs as in my first post… On completion of my study, I set off for some adventure-packed fun. Launching myself off the platform and flying down the zipline was somewhat like my study experience over the past four years – a journey, from bracing myself to embracing the world!
So here’s to the ‘long and short’ of my trip with the programmes (spellcheck hasn’t got used to this word yet). I’ve expanded the word ‘trip’ itself, to incorporate some of the most important lessons I’ve learnt from it.

The talk that improved my motivation.
April 19, 2014
In a few more weeks, the final exam is coming. The mere thought of that really scares me. My stress level has reached a really high point where it simply overwhelms me
It’s been so bad that it gets to a point where I hyperventilate and my head gets light headed. I know I should have better stress management but I have been trying to remind myself to breathe.
Telling myself to breathe has been my saying for the past few days and doing this has helped me tremendously. If you ever have the same problem as me, which is hyperventilating or that your stress level is going through the roof, well, remember to breathe. It will really help.

Exams and Economics
March 17, 2014
Well, as the days pass, you realize the exams are only getting closer. That send terrible chills down my back.
I suppose that I have never ever felt so unprepared and overwhelmed before. There just seem to be so much work and never enough time.
Every time I have one good day, I seem to have five other bad days. Overall, it’s not good. I just end up really stressed and the problem is when I am stressed, I get even more demotivated. And so, this is not a good situation for me at all.
I really do want to do well in my year one so that I don’t have to repeat it. I really don’t want to waste anymore time or money.
As much as exams really stresses me out, I do enjoy learning. I do love going to class and simply learning. There is just so much things to digest and a lot of the stuff is really mind blowing.
