Famous Last Words: Surviving April

As April approaches, I am a little nervous. There is so much to do in such little time. I really wanted to finish this class at the end of April instead of dead week because that will allow me more opportunities to study for my other courses. However, with the limited time that I have, it is hard for to get ahead. I think I am just going to try to dedicate this weekend to getting a bit ahead in this course. So far I think I have been doing a pretty good job. I like the stories I have come up with, some of them really surprise me on how good they end up becoming, not to sound conceited or anything. Other I know I can use a little work on. I think what helps me is picking a few specific details to focus on when I am reading a story, and writing it in my notes. That way I can look back at those notes and make a story from what I have written down and the details I chose to focus on. Other than this class, school is stressful, especially since I am taking so many hours to graduate! I am excited because there is basically like a month left of school before I do graduate and that is nerve wrecking but very exciting. It is said that I did not get to take senior pics or anything, but I just do not have time at this moment. I am going to graduate school here in the fall, so I think that is when I will have my big break! I hope to just balance school and work and everything as I have been doing. I know it will be hard to do in April, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Famous Last Words: Upcoming Week

This next week is going to be hectic. I understand that it is only the third week of school, but I am taking 21 hours and my classes are already picking up. I am taking a class called Directed Readings. In this class I have to read several chapter books all relating to a topic of my choice. Then I write essays over them. The essays consist of summarizing the book, as well as, highlighting what I have learned from it. So I am excited to start my readings this coming week. 

My hopes for this next week over all is to be as productive as possible. I hope to complete all my assigned assignments for this class, as well as, the extra credit. I really would like to finish this class early, if at all possible. I would really help cutting down on the load! However, I am so intrigued by the material that we cover in this class, and I always learn something new.

I also am going to be working on my 15-page paper that is due for my weekend class! I hope to also start volunteering at Bethesda which is an organization that advocates for kids who have been sexually abused. I love volunteering and hope to volunteer at this place for more than just this semester.

I also have work three nights this week! I know this may not seem like a lot, but with my schedule it is crazy and I am not sure how I am going to do it. I am part of several committee’s and organizations on campus. One of them being part of Student Society of Human Relations, and another is being an ambassador for Pink and Black Ball. I have those meetings to attend this week as well as a few others. It will be one busy week but I hope to finish it all and come out strong!
