I've been in Australia for over 4 months now. The first 3 months were spent studying English to meet the requirement for a Master's degree. It was quite challenging for me to do all the academic assessments in English for the first time while also completing the final semester at Korea University. I felt a lot of pressure from having so many things to do, but I managed to complete everything on time in the end.
I realized that the more I tried to be perfect and avoid mistakes, the more confused and stressed I became when facing a lot of tasks. I failed to manage my stress during this time. Looking back, I see that I was stuck in the mindset that everything must be done perfectly because I had invested so much in this opportunity, but it only caused me more stress and made it difficult to focus on my studies.
Now, it's time for me to focus on studying related to my career. To control my thoughts, I plan to accept that I can't be perfect in every way all at once, and I must improve step by step, which will take time. I'm here to expand my knowledge and skills. I'm leaving these resolutions to keep my thoughts organized, hoping that my efforts over the next 2 years will help me progress to the next level in my life:
- Review the main points of any lectures on the day I learn them.
- Ask questions if I'm unsure or if I think I might have misunderstood something.
- Write posts about what I've learned in English. It doesn't have to be completed all at once; I will start with a structure and keep developing it.
- Wrap up every unit as soon as semeter finish.
- Try to focus on "FUNDAMENTALS"
