Famous Last Words: Time to Buckle Down

This week I really looked at where I was in this class and decided it was not where I wanted to be. I have decided to really buckle down and try to get everything done, including all of the extra credit. I really appreciate that this class has plenty of extra credit opportunities to try to give the students a chance to get a good grade and I am going to try to take advantage of as much of it as possible. Basically any extra time that I have, I will spend working on this class. This is a really fun class, but it can be difficult to stay on top of with things being due every day. I know I struggle with online classes to begin with and with a full course load and working for the football team I have let this class get a little behind. I am hoping that by being intentional about this course, I will be more likely to succeed in it.  I also want to take advantage of this weekend since there is not a football game. I want to try to catch up/get ahead for the week so I don't fall behind again. I will make sure to have time for myself this weekend though; I think it is important to have time to yourself so you don't get overwhelmed with school/work.

I am hoping to bring this mindset into my other classes too.  As I feel I have mentioned several times this week, I do tend to get to a point every semester where I am almost drowning and then have to spend the rest of the semester trying to recover from it. I think I have reached that point for the semester and it is now time to kick it into gear. I am looking forward to completing the "happiness jar" activity over the next week. I am interested to see if I think it was effective or not.
