Calendar Reflection

To stay on track to graduate, I will need to follow through on homework promises to myself, and not spend hours on end accomplishing nothing by searching the web for new episodes of my favorite show. When I completed my calendar review assignment, I found that I have so much free time, so below I've posted some examples of when I can do homework.

To kickstart my (hopefully) successful English class career, I shall:
  • Do homework in between classes when I have a two hour break or longer
  • Include English homework in my usual 1 a.m. homework dash
  • Try to do homework on the weekends in between wasting my time scrolling Tumblr and watching Netflix
  • Schedule some blog thinking time while waiting in food lines
So, in theory, I will have a copious amount of hours ( 8+) to accomplish my English homework. Now, I just have to stick to it.

Reflection

After reading my other classmates, Swati and Chelsea, blogs, I feel a lot better in realizing that we all have hectic and busy schedules. College is an adjustment and we are all pretty much at different levels of making changes and having to deal with all the freedom that comes with being a college student.

When I see that others aim to be two weeks ahead in their schoolwork, I get a little frightened because I am more of an almost last minute type of person, and I love spontaneity, yet I am looking to change that to deal more efficiently with my homework.

  1. While completing my calendar, I think I came to a similar realization. I really do have enough time to complete all of my homework; it's just a matter of sticking to my schedule. I really liked your idea of scheduling some "blog thinking time" while waiting for food, as that really is making good use of time. I think you have a great plan written out here, and I am sure that as long as you stick to it, you'll have a great semester!

  2. This post touches on what i believe to be true in all of our schedules. We all have enough time to complete homework and to be proactive, we just need to use our time appropriately. College offers many recreational outlets, but it takes a diligent student to place their studies as the primary focus. If you can abide by your set homework scheduling, you'll have no problem achieving the grades you desire.

  3. Much like you Sam, I have plenty of time to finish all of my work. Unfortunately, I also spend way too much time watching reruns of Friends and The Office. It's my job to cut back on wasting time and get my work done before I have fun. Hopefully we can kick the bad habits together!

  4. Eek! Make sure the images that you choose for your blog posts actually appear. Seems this image has a "No Hotlinking" restriction - might have been smart to choose a different image instead....
