I've given myself some challenges over the coming
weeks to make myself tired and fatigued and stressed.
In some cases, I will be doing as many as 4 graded
labs back to back... the weekend before and the
weekend after. If I cannot schedule labs for the
weekend before, then I will simply use my own racks to
the same effect. The goal is to create a sense of
urgency both before I attend the Mock Labs by Heinz
Ulm and immediately afterwards.
Using other graded labs to build the momentum even
when my body is exhausted.
I should still be able to perform to a certain level,
say 80%, for starters... and if not for ANY reason, I
want to know now so that I might mitigate this
weakness.
When the mind wants to freeze and give up, I want to
ensure I still have the fortitude to go for the
univercd and at least look for the answer.
Very few times in my life have I ever froze under
pressure or duress.
My last lab was one of those times - I handed in my
papers one hour early, even though I knew I had more
to do...
Not again.
Even if I do not sleep a wink for 72 hours up until
the lab, I intend to be ready to perform at the best
of my own ability.
You perform like you train.
Lack of performance on an exam - is really lack of
preparation - call it what you like, but this is what
it is...
I am hurtful to my own ego here but in the end if I am
honest with myself, that is what it was for me.
I'm going to try and not repeat the process this time
around.
