This past week has definitely kicked everything into high gear. I am starting to get use to my schedule. With exams coming up this week and more meetings and events to be a part of, being proactive with your schedule is one tip that helps through college and life.
- Wednesday night, I had to to hurry and get food and items for my floor program after leaving lab class which I should have done earlier but I decided to nap. I had a successful floor program for my girls on the 2nd floor of Menard, and we chatted over snacks and they filled out a questionnaire for me to get to know the things that they would like to do for the school year and how to be an effective RA. I am hoping we don’t gain 15 pounds this year due to the fact that I incorporate food at all of my programs pretty much because that’s the secret to good attendance.
- Thursday night I was on duty until 12:50 am and even with dragging all of my homework to the duty office with me, I got nothing accomplished with all the residents talking to me and helping the time go by; which I do not mind at all.
- Friday was my 19th birthday and after work and my classes, my family and friends all spent the day bringing me presents and food and I spent most of the day constantly replying to everyone on social networks that wished me a happy birthday.
- Saturday morning I got ready for the football game, which was a great game and even better weather. Walsh won 25-14 and with many interceptions by our cavaliers. I went to mall with some of my friends here and out to eat that night planning to watch the boxing match but Buffalo Wild Wings doesn’t show boxing so we watched Ohio State play.
- Sunday I went to church and went to the movies with my little brother to watch the Turbo in 3D, it was a good movie.
After all of that, I came back to school and had to buckle down and get so much homework done. I planned to get homework done during the weekend and that was a horrible idea to think that I would really get anything done. The best way to prevent cramming and late nights up doing work, is to do the studying and the assignment each day after class or small amounts through out the day. I am still falling into the “I’ll finish it tomorrow” trap but it’s good to know that at Walsh, there are always people at Walsh that will study with you and keep you om track. My friends still text and tweet me and tell me to study when they know I am getting distracted. Take it from me, procrastinating may seem like a great idea at first and when it catches up to you, you realize it was a bad idea.
