Hi I am looking for advice.
I am doing a masters and from the start of the year to the end so many things have gone wrong. Neck pain has got really bad and two friends have been diagnosed with cancer but I changed to part time but it still didnt work. I was meant to do my exams in May wrote notes out for one of the two of them but didnt have time to learn them and I cant cram. So I deferred them until August I worked a good bit over the summer writing essays for these exams but I did not give myself time to learn them. I just can't seem to pace myself and make so many daily and weekly plans that I don't stick to. I had my first exam yesterdaY i felt okay about it beforehand and really hoped I had enough covered (I had done 9 essays) but I wasn't and I had to leave the exam:( I am less prepared for the other two I have decided not to do the one on thursday and I'm really not sure about doing the one next mon (I have seven essays to learn and I just can't cram) Although in the short term that would be the easiest thing to do but I'm not sure if thats the best decision. I'm really worried because now my family think I'm not able for the masters as it looked like I was studying alot but I was just writing notes and my course coordinators will think that too they don't have alot of time for me now. I really believe I could get the exams if I had paced myself and had a few weeks to go over my notes. Any ideas in what I should do and could do to help me in this area or has anyone been in a similiar situation. Thanks
