BURNOUT

The June term break is suppose to be free and easy for me. Yet, my schedule is piling up. Oh the irony of it all. Every week starting from next week I will be having a minimum of two days of flight training per week. Adding to that, I would also have meet ups regarding a raft race which I had volunteered for that is organised by The Singapore International Water Festival.That would bring me to about 3 days booked per week. Not forgetting, two group works that I would be busy on. First would be HML (heroes,myths & legends) project. Not only would there be a need to do research, there would also be a need to resolve issues and hope the group can hide away each other's differences and click into gear. The other group work would be CSM(creative story making) project. I have the utmost confidence that there would be no problems arising from the CSM group other than ideas and research. After all, it is me who chose the individuals for my CSM group. These two group works would bring me with another 2 days booked per week. Thus in conclusion, each week I would be busy for a total of 5 days on average.

Honestly, I'm relishing this opportunity for me to handle all these jargons. I'm currently undergoing a steep learning curve. Its a matter of time before I fall. But before that happens, I intend to make the best of what I have right now. Yes the pressure is growing. Its almost at a PSI where no man can handle. Everything we do in life makes you a much more experienced individual. Hopefully a better person too. During this term break, I will be experiencing the most stressful days I have experienced in 2011. Discipline, commitment and a sound mentality is key for anyone to succeed in such circumstances. My brain will work double time. My body physic will be tested to its limit. I need to be at my optimum best.

Every area of my brain will be working and burnout will eventually get to me.

Here's a list of whats to come for me:-

Flight Trainings
• ground school exam - 11^th June ( revise and study Aircraft Law & Radio Telephony approx 5 chapters long)
• Flight Simulator 2 Training - 9^th June( revise and study basic aircraft controls & manoeuvre)
• Flight Sortie Assessment - 17^th June ( revise and memorise everything that i have learnt so far)

Raft Competition Meet Up

• research on materials to make a creative raft( possibly to be done by next week or the next 2 weeks)
• research on the design of the raft (same as the above)
• getting the materials to make the raft(same as the above)
• building the raft itself ( by end of june )

All this to be done by 1ST OF JULY. Trust me one month is not enough.

The 2 group works CSM & HML

• both need to at least have a draft by the start of school
• need to do research and brainstorming of ideas
• a lot of hardwork to be put into this as it is CA2 which carries a lot of marks

The problem for this is finding the time for me to actually focus on the research.

Miscellaneous Activities

• planning for outing ( to be finalised by next week)
• logistical areas to be planned( to be finalised by next week)
• making myself free to hang out and chill
• some workshop about the power of words (next week)

And yes, it is all very, extremely pressurising to be in my shoe now. There's so much for me to cope in such a short time. I won't be surprised if I have to sacrifice my Pilot's License just to get more focus on schoolwork. If that's what I have to do then so be it. Sacrifices are something that you should see as a positive decision that you have made to improve on your life. Everything that happens and the decisions that you make will not be clearly pictured until some time in your life when you will finally realise that whatever you did in the past had actually helped you in your future. This is life. Never make decisions with a mindset that you're afraid that you would regret making that decision. Well, this is how i see things. As for now, DISCIPLINE will play a major role in building a part of myself. Nurturing a good sense of discipline would be key.
