The first term is over and I have to say it's not been too bad thus far.
What does play with the OCD is the fact that the 'new week' officially starts on a Saturday. Following the course materials has been manageable, but when you have one lapse, it has a knock-on effect which means you can be sat in the same place for hours trying to catch up. This has happened once or twice.
One thing that I have noticed is how I have a mild panic when someone merely refers to something I haven't yet come across in a unit. What I've found is that when you then "learn this for the first time", it acts as a revision, so the panic should be avoided if possible.
TMA2 is fast approaching, and it's a written one. I've been making full use of both Babelia and Pratique in order that the TMA comes more naturally. Writing is filled with far more dread than speaking is for me, as I feel I can explain my around things eventually.
I suppose, though, if it were easy, there'd be no point! Allez, Courage!
