Since the academic year already started and most of the necessary information had been passed on to us I decided to read through it all so I know what is expected of me. As I was going through all of the requirements and things to do it all started to get jumbled up in my brain. By the time have reached the end of it I have already forgotten what I read at the start. It seemed to be just a huge pile of information that was not helping me in any way. Rather the opposite, it was scaring me off.

| Me and my honour year |
Leaving it as it is and waiting until all of it going to start making sense was not the best idea in my opinion. Also from my previous experience I knew that going back to re-read 'to do' things was just a big waste of time. So I have created a mind map of all the honours year and a plan that I could try and follow to make sure that things get done and hopefully on time. (Sadly ‘on time' statement being open for interpretation since I tend to suffer a bit from a time optimism illness. I swear, I am working on it and it is getting better but I still have a fair way to go.)
So here I'm sharing my fruits of planning labour:
A mind map of honours year and an approximate project plan made up of things I know so far. Latter one is more of a work in progress as my project becomes clearer.
Now that I have all lined up like that and placed on my wall at home, I feel much more at ease since I can see and keep track on things I need to do and when are hand in dates. Feels like I have a map of a forest I am going in. Nevertheless, it is still a very scary experience.
