I realised that- and i know a lot of people are going to want to kill me for this- i love exam preparation :D it's really relaxing for me, i don't know why. perhaps it's becaus i don't feel the need to get 4.0 for everything (grades just don't matter so much to me), perhaps it's the fact that you can just put aside everything else and study. i don't know, i think this month is going to be the best month yet (and no, EYAs are not stressful for me) because it's just so easy to know what to do, what to focus on. and i like handwriting notes- i can memorise while writing it just sticks into my head. and also because i've never felt the need to memorise every single textbook statistic, everything is so easy, and it's probably the only time that i can actually enjoy studying. i know after EYAs everything is going to come crashing back down but for now life is awesome. life is simple, and i appreciate that after how absolutely insane this year has been, it's actually nice to just sit down every night and mug. i never understood why everyone gets so worked up about the 4.0, why people can study for the sake of studying. i don't believe you can actually learn anything like that.
