Calendar Reflection

Although I've only been in college for a week, I've already wept repeatedly over my poor decisions when it comes to time management. My activities and classes felt like a thousand tiny legos scattered across a vast room and I was stumbling and stepping on them.

Anderson, Ryan "5 Reasons Legos Are Actually Truly Awful"  01/29/13

 I'm enrolled in an average amount of credits (15) and I'm in a sorority but thats the extent of my activity. I don't know what I do all day besides complain that I'm not getting anything done and get lost on my way to class. On paper it appears that I have ample free time to get things done but in reality I've been so overwhelmed by all the assignments, due dates and reading that I accomplished almost nothing all week.

This assignment made me realize that if I manage my time effectively and carefully plan my study schedule I can maintain a balance between my social life and academics. I have to make sure to designate blocks in my schedule dedicated to focusing on homework and studying. It is up to me to create structure and a clear cut routine in my life to avoid feeling stressed out and sleep deprived.

Reflection:

I visited and commented on http://engl109hblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/calendar-reflection.html?showComment=1440885232404#c718592112473000189  and http://cmatheson109h.blogspot.com/2015/08/calendar-reflection.html?showComment=1440885452753#c100174632337668974. I realized that I may be too idealistic when it comes to setting my schedule.  I need to focus on still doing my work even if I miss the desired time frame, I can't get too discouraged and waste even more time. I think this assignment is important because I learned that I need to be both flexible and structured in my schedule.
