Last year, year 12, was a personally time that I adapted to IB. Frankly, I don't think that I am fully used to it, but I at least realized that I shouldn't study casually like last year. I regret that I didn't study much last year, which I always do every year. And I swear to myself that I will become a completely different person, whih also I always have done every year. But this time, I feel some desperation and necessity that I really have to be.
Since I came back to Moscow from Korea after holiday, my brain was completely cleared, so fresh that every stuff I learnt seems new. However, still a lot to go forth, a lot of new stuffs are waiting for me this year and I also have to revise the old stuffs. I am a kind of person who really don't trust myself, always regret what I did and say that I cannot do it. And as I always have done I am afraid that I can really do this: whether I can successfully finish my IB with my empty brain.
As I feel this year shouldn't be wasted like the last year, I am now reflecting my y12s and what I should do in year 13. First to look at my academic results, there is no subject that I can say I am good at it. All the subjects seem to be a problem for me, but I got fine results in business, Russian and English. But no certainty that I will get the same or better results. Then how can I improve those?
Seriously, revision is important. Forgetting is a natural occurence for human beings and the way to pevent is keep rehersaring. Last year, I actuallly knew that I had to revise in regular term, but I delayed and delayed and spent one year like that. And the most dangerous thing in studying is attitude that I will do it tomorrow; the same principle is applied for CAS. I now know that tomorrow is the day before exam and should never delay.
It is easy to say I won't do it, but difficult to put into practice. For my whole academic years, I just planned, but never did in the reality. Time flies and it is significant to manage time really wisely. I have a year, but a lot of things to do. Personally, I not only have to do IB, but also to study other things required for Korean university. And one more problem I have is my English is not good. So I also have to spend more time to improve my English to become at least like my classmates, but I have more to work than others. How can I deal with time management problem with a lot of works then?
I am not sure that this works and I will follow it everyday, but I think everyday planner will quite help. It is not just a list that what I have to do today, but from when to when I do this and that to be working more effectively.
And not only study, but I shouldn't neglect CAS as well. I heard that few senior students who actually got good results failed to get diploma. I have so many things to care about. It seems impossible to make it. But trust myself, and never give up.
Specific things I need to do
- Revise with a planner
- Enlarge my vocabulary in Russian and English
- Show a good participation in class
- Don't be afraid of asking questions to teachers
- Never delay works
- Use time wisely
