It is not pessimism to expect difficult or distressing situations and plan for them. Rains, floods, social unrest happen all year and disturb classes. Sickness, delays by traffic and other humanly unavoidable circumstances can turn your daily schedule all around. You certainly have to make provisions for these interruptions or suspensions of even the most important studies or school activities. Sometimes, happy events must also be “anticipated” such as Christmas, your mother or father’s birthday, school anniversary or a newly announced national holiday. They are to be treated as off days that suspend all your school plans for the day BUT open you up for your alternative schedule or for class work that can be done at home.
The point is to develop an alert mind that is sensitive to any changes of plans and to move or distribute them to other future dates. In the meantime, the forced off-day should be used to greatest advantage for your studies.
