Jan Term

When I hear all this talk about Jan term I get a little confused. I can't believe that I will only have one class in one month. That sounds outrageous. Yet, it is a big bonus for me because I will be in the start of my basketball season and it will help keep things mellow. My adviser and I discussed taking the spanish course in Jan term. I really don't mind taking it because I enjoy it and I think it would be an easy A. I've never experienced such thing as Jan term and quite frankly, I am excited for this as well. I'm really starting to enjoy college life and can't wait to see what else it has in store for me. I would have loved to travel for Jan term, but I don't think my coach would like that too much. So that might not be the greatest or smartest decision to make for Jan term.

Over the past two weeks, I have chosen to re asses my time management. I've created a chart that helps me prioritize as well. Over the weekend I get ahead in all of my classes and on the week days I do Tuesday's work on Monday and so forth. I was having a lot of complications with managing my time so I got a little bit of help from the school's resources. Everyone has their own different way about approaching time management and I find all methods to be extremely helpful. Currently on fall break, I have gotten two weeks ahead in all of my classes that I could. I've completed articles that are due, book work as well as study. It was not a smooth process but with a little bit of encouragement and help I can know be on track and less stressed. I wasn't having fun and fun keeps things relaxed and easier to handle. I am excited to get back to classes so that I can show my teachers how much of an improvement I have made.
