A Glimpse of What's in a Perfectionist Mind

i won't start doing things, unless everything is perfect and ready to go

i am scared of my own capacity; i am not scared of failure, i am scared of success

when people know your ability and capacity, YES there is pressure to be fabulous

dear oh dear..

Form 3 STPRI students have started their PMB last week.. they all looked 0verly-worked-out-memorizing-word-by-word-from-the-book. not that i fancy the method they use, i just like the fact that they are actually 'studying'

so here is the deal, i take care of year 7, 8, and form 4 students. so their exams start as follows:

year 7 - 31/10/09
year 8 - 19/10/09
Form 4 - 26/10/09

unfortunately, my students haven't got the eyebags, have the worried-WornOut look.. so it is my responsibility to FreakThemOut.. :D :D

so i asked

1. when is your exam?
2. what day is today?
3. how many school days left till your exam?
4. how many subjects do you have?
5. how many days are you going to study for ONE subject?
6. how many topics are there in ONE subject?

say, they answered 10 (school) days till exam, 8 subjects, 7 topics

me: so how many days are you going to study for ONE subject if you have 10 days left?

lo and behold one student took out a calculator and pressed 10 divide by 8.. HAHAHAHHA!!!

me: ok, say you finish school 12.30, then you go to Ugama, get home after 5, stuck in traffic.. have dinner, take a shower.. you will be ready to study by 8..

me: so what time you go to bed?
students: at 9, 10, or maybe midnight..
me: ok, say you go to bed at 10.. so you only have TWO hours each day to study..

i continued

me: if you have only ONE day to study ONE subject, and ONE subject has 7 topics.. how are you going to finish going through ALL of them in TWO hours?

hehehheee.. that surely freaked them out..
