Hey! So I posted something similar back when I was deciding what to apply to at university and whether or not I should go for physics or not. I'll be starting my concurrent program with a BEd. & astrophysics this fall.
Kind of worried about it now. I'm commuting 3 -4 hours a day and have: linear algebra, calc 1, calc 2, cs for the physical sciences, physics, and astronomy.
So,the work load is definitely something I'm a little scared of, combine that with the fact that if I'm not able to keep my marks for physics I get kicked out of teaching too :'(
I did horribly in grade 12, not just in physics, in general. Always sleepy in classes (except for calculus, my calculus teacher used to let us figure things out on our own instead of "teaching" us so it kept me awake, I had fun, and did well- loved calculus!)
Despite the fact I did horribly in physics, I chose it because it's the only subject other than calculus that I can study for hours non stop, without getting bored or sleepy.
(Didn't do that last year bc I spent all that time on English so I barely studied for physics but when I studied over breaks and what not, I loved it).
I'm trying not to repeat that again,and actually do well.
I've already visited the doctor about my tiredness and she's completed a blood test last Friday. I've been changing how much sleep I get and also my work load for uni- I was supposed to take two more chemistry courses but dropped them to the summer.Is there anything that I can do about it academically, besides taking care of myself?
A way to handle commuting, and studying and not be overly exhausted?
Is there a way I can stop being so nervous during tests too?
If I can't get something right off the bat, I start freaking out, or if I make a mistake or do poorly once, I start getting scared of future mistakes and mess up even more.
Sorry for the redundant post, school's starting soon and I just want any new advice I can get.
