Return to community - I'm back

Hi everyone, 

I just wanted to say how excited I am to be back here and how much I can't wait to catch up with you all. 

I hope everyone has been well.

I'm in week 11 of uni, and it is pretty busy at the moment. I still don't have a job, but I have had several interviews over the past few months, and I have one next week, so I am hopeful for something soon. 

At the moment, for my research uni, I am doing a research proposal on stress and anxiety among university students and whether mindfulness-based meditation can help with that. It is a group project, so I'm not doing it all alone. We won't have any participants for this research as it's just a proposal. 

I have been catching up with the group of girls I met at the brunch. We went to the zoo a few weeks ago and plan to catch up in June. 

I have three exams coming up on the 31st of May, 7th and 14th of June.

I think this university semster has gone so quickly even for me, that research proposal sounds super intresting! Are you enjoying doing this?

Hi, 

Yes, I know so fast, haha. What are you studying? 

I mentioned in a post above how the research proposal is going. I like the whole part of it, and research is hard when other team members don't contribute at the same level as I do. 

I'm ok right now. I have a week to study for each, so that is good.

That sounds fun. What year are you in? Are you currently doing bachelor's, honours, master's, etc? 

I am studying a bachelor of health science. 

Yes, and plus, they are all a quiz online at home.

That's good to hear. 

I'm alright; I'm busy with uni study today. I also will be chatting with my regular at KHL tonight, so that will be good. 

It's good. I look forward to catching up with everyone I've missed over the last eight weeks.

Connection is a big thing for me, so the more connections I have with people, the better. I don't know why, but when I'm feeling sad, etc talking to people about it or about other things seems to help a lot, 

What are you doing today?

Hey @Red_Flamingo 

I’m glad to hear from you again!

The semester has gone so quickly, can’t believe it’s almost over. I hope you hear back from one of the interviews soon. That research proposal sounds really interesting. Do you have a good group? I always found research proposals tough to do on my own.

Hanging out with that group of girls sound lovely. I’m really glad you’ve found people you connect to. I hope your exams go well for you! Are you worried about them?

Red_FlamingoPosted 18-05-2024 07:27 PM

Hi, 

Same here. I'm very excited to be back and connect with everyone again. 

Well, at the moment, it feels like a two-person group, not a five-person group. To be honest, I would have preferred to do it on my own. Two members didn't do the right work, and another plagiarised, so I am trying to coordinate with them to fix it all when it's due next Sunday. 

We have 4900 words and need 6500. Hopefully, I can finish at least 500 to 1000 words for the literature review tomorrow. The person who plagiarised was summarising what emotional intelligence, anxiety and stress were and gave definitions of what they all were. When that is not what goes on in the literature review, we need to summarise the peer-reviewed articles, which follow our same methodology. Anyway, I'm sure it will work out. Coordinating everyone, including my work and other assignments, is a bit stressful. It's frustrating knowing three people don't care about the assignment, especially when it is worth 40%, and I need a good grade to go to higher studies. 

Yeah, I'm not sure what I will do, but going out to a market or lunch would be nice. 

Thank you. Mmm it's not at the front of my mind this week, maybe once Sunday is over and I have the two assignments submitted I will focus on each one as I have a week to study for all three. 

Did you do honours? I think I remember you did a thesis. Have you also done calculus?

How are you?

Hey @Red_Flamingo 

Ah that’s really annoying. You shouldn’t have to redo someone else’s work. That’s decent progress, I’m sure you complete it. Wow, 40% is a lot. Highly irritating when people do the thing that is easier rather than the thing that is require. I really hope it all does work out for you and the stress remains manageable. Make sure you look after yourself!

Markets are always fun. You can eat a bunch of food and look at a bunch of cool thinks.

Yeah, that’s completely fair. It makes sense to focus on the assignments first. It sounds like you’ve been able to manage your time well.

Nah, still in my bachelor’s. Almost halfway through my degree. I haven’t done any calculus yet, but I have some electives coming up which should be fun.

I’m doing pretty okay. I need to sit some of the exams I postponed in trimester three, so I have five exams which is something.

Red_FlamingoPosted 20-05-2024 12:24 PM

Sorry, I got you confused with another member who finished their thesis. 

Yes, I know, but anyway, I hope he finishes his part today. 

That's good to hear trimester three was that last year?

Lapis_AnteaterPosted 23-05-2024 05:15 PM

@Red_Flamingo 

All good! Did the guy get the assignment done?

Yeah, I think it counts as last year even though it finished in February.

How has your day been?

 
 
 
 
 
Red_Flamingo
Red_FlamingoPosted 23-05-2024 05:31 PM

Mmm, yes, he has, but it's not that good. 

The other person and I will need to fix it. 

A bit stressful with this assignment. 

Other than that I haven't done much. 

How are you?

Lapis_AnteaterPosted 23-05-2024 05:37 PM

Hey @Red_Flamingo 

Ah, that’s annoying. It’s due on Sunday?

That’s fair enough. At this point it the semester it’s pretty much just assignments 😭

I’m okay! One more assignment and then it’s just exams. I think I prefer exams; I find it hard to apply the feedback given in assignments, especially if it’s an essay type thing.

 

 
 
 
 
 
Red_Flamingo
Red_FlamingoPosted 23-05-2024 05:39 PM

Yes, but I want to submit it on Saturday as I have another one due on Sunday for a different class. 

Ah, okay, for me, I think it depends on the class that has the exam. How many do you have?

Hey @Red_Flamingo 

That’s fair. Hopefully you’ll be able to complete it today.

Are you managing alright?

Yeah, that true. Some units have tough exams. I have five exams.

Red_FlamingoPosted 25-05-2024 03:06 PM

Hi,

I'm at the footy so I will have a look over it tomorrow and then talk to one of my group members. I think we will submit tomorrow. 

With the assignment I guess so now as its done we are just editing it. 

Gosh I only have three. Five wouldn't be fun. 

I have one each week for three weeks.

Oh nice! Did you have a good time?

That’s good.

They’re all open book and online so it isn’t too bad. Are your exams open book?
