One month and a week in Cebu for my board exams review and I am more than happy to be back with a purpose – and that is to fulfill my dream of becoming a registered physical therapist.
The past weeks had been very grueling since examinations are given from time to time and I have been hearing about the stiff competition in the upcoming board exams. I really need to stop worrying about the competition but rather focus in improving my statistics.
However, there are days when I badly needed the motivation – so I made myself a motivation card!
It basically contains my main goal – the four-letter initials I need after my name, and the rest are biblical verses for motivation and the songs I listen to whenever I study. It's kinda weird but I need every means I can get in order to build self-motivation because external gratification no longer motivates me. I need to work deeper and I need to utilize what I'm good at.
For studying techniques, flashcards seem to work on me. I just write and draw important information in index cards and flip on them when I have spare time, plus they are really handy. I also learn better when I'm jotting down information, win-win situation for me.
And lastly, an aphorism I made: fangirl hard, study harder because what better way to motivate myself than by making myself believe that I can both fangirl and study at the same time?! Probably on a 5:95 ratio.
