Being Productive

This weekend I was very productive, and I am actually proud that I got some things done on time that I had planned to do. I met up with some members of my communications group and worked on our presentation together and figured out what we were going to do and say during our presentation, we did that for a few hours. Then I worked on other essays that I needed to get done for this week. I have a total of five essays that are due this week. I feel like that what it is just going to be for this last month that we have left. It is just going to be a bunch of essays, exams, and presentations. It’s going to be tiring and stressful, but we are almost done, or at least that’s what I keep telling myself. I feel like when you begin to feel overwhelmed with school work you just need to step back and do something else, so you can take a break from all the stress you are feeling. That is what I did this weekend I had so many essays but, I would go swimming or to the gym for a few hours. The only thing I would not do was watch Netflix, because one I watch an episode on Netflix I don’t just watch one episode I just keep watching it and I will never get back to doing the previous things I was doing. So I avoided watching Netflix this weekend and, it actually helped out a lot. So when you are feeling overwhelmed go out and take a breather and then come back to it with more energy, so you can get it done.

Last Minute Work

As the days begin counting down the more of the workload I see start stacking up. Over the weekend I was suppose to complete two essays, finish a presentation, study for an exam I had today, and do a journal for my group discussion class. Like I stated before, I was suppose to do it, I just never did. I was going to do it on Friday but, then I thought “hey, I have two whole days to do it since I won’t be going home this weekend”. Since, I only had one class Monday and it was cancelled, I did both my essays. Essays are time consuming, especially two so I spent the whole day on my essays with an occasional breaks in between. And this morning I skimmed through the reading material that the exam was based on and, I ended up only getting one question incorrect. I also finished my presentation and presented today and, it turned out well and I did my journal. To top it all off the professor let us out two hours earlier since, presentations finished quickly. Now I’m not saying to do everything last minute, because everything will turn out completely fine like my situation but, maybe it won’t, and I just got lucky is all. But I think it is just better to do your school work when you say you are, so you can just get it over with. Because when I said I’ll do it later I always had that small voice in my head that kept telling me to just do it, and get done with it.

Back from Break

A week away from classes was much needed, especially for me. A few weeks before break I had a family situation arise and I felt completely drained with the whole situation. I wasn’t myself, so going back home was a must. I had a nice time back home, but the one thing I wanted to do the most was get back on track with my studying. Throughout the week I kept telling myself that I had a week off and that I should enjoy it with my family, and I will get to it the next day. Turns out I finally realised that I kept saying that till Thursday night and, quickly realised that I had not studied one bit during my spare time and most of my time the following days would be consumed by work. I don’t totally regret not studying because I am not behind I just wanted to start my assignments early so I could be ahead when I got back and I wouldn’t have to stress so much about it. But now I just have to manage my time more wisely is all. Now that I am back, I feel more refreshed and energized and feel like I could get back into things. Even though it feels a bit odd coming back to school and starting where we left off, I feel like it will only feel like this for the first week and things will slowly start to fall back into place as the week goes on and, it will start feeling normal by next week.
