In my last review I was mentioning how nervous but excited I was about starting college. That was two weeks ago. As an update, it's week four, and I am now more nervous than I am excited. But I'm not going to lie there is the occasional moment here-and-there where I do get excited.
Last week was rough for me, and while I attempted to get some extra-credit done to recover from the missed Reading PART B, I didn't realize there was a cutoff time for extra credit (which by the way is strictly at midnight, no grace period) and missed the Taking Stock points by a few minutes. While I try to get everything done by the due date, my work schedule is making me occasionally hit the grace-period range. I did do better in time-management this week, but then again, I also didn't have as much going on this week as compared to last. (I had some family complications and work/life stresses that took a strain on my motivation to get things done)
While I do have some labs to catch up on for Biology, those are easy, and my paper for English Critical Inquiry and Analysis is just as easy too. I'm on track for this class and I really hope to keep it that way. As mentioned in the past, I've been utilizing my planner a lot more, but I've also got used to the rhythm on this class' due dates. I know that if needed, I have Mondays completely free, as well as Fridays and Saturdays. While I know that's not a great mindset to be in, it eases some stress to think I have a gap time to catch up in whichever class I need to catch up in, or in the case of this class, to think that I can get ahead during these times as well. My goal is to try and utilize this time rather than use it for a break *unless I really need a break from my new norms*
