“Finding Your Way In”
Exercise 1: Write about anything that comes to your mind in 10 minutes
Start time: 11: 15
This week has been pretty busy for me. Trying to adjust from not having school for about 2 months to quickly jumping back into the swing of things. I’ve never been one to prepare for things or manage my time well, and I find that bad trait slowly creeping up on me. This week was syllabus week, which usually isn’t pretty overwhelming to most, but to me it was. I found myself not being able to keep track of anything I had going on and not remembering if I had school work or classes. I often found myself stressing and doing homework at the last minute. This made me realize that if I don’t change my horrible habits soon, it would get a lot worse from now on. I looked up some ways to help manage time and how to keep track of all my assignments. I bought a desk calendar, planner, and even set alarms on my phone for all my classes. I am still pretty surprised how I fell so behind on all my stuff and why it all feels so overwhelming. Maybe it’s because I’m taking harder classes this year, or more in person classes, maybe it’s because I can’t prioritize my time correctly, maybe it’s because I’m 21 hours away from my family and friends, or maybe it’s because I haven’t done any school work in 2 months. Whatever it is, I can’t let it stop me from focusing on doing well in school and keeping up with all my classes, assignments, and even tests/quizzes.
