End of school stressors! Blog 5

I am extremely thankful to have only two and a half weeks of school left, but with that, it brings loads and loads of hard work. I feel like every time I turn around a huge new project is due. I am most worried about this week. I have a ten page paper due Sunday evening for my Management course online and then a huge project due Tuesday in my Life skills class. I feel like I am studying and doing things in a circle because nothing seems to be getting done! I know that I will have no problem getting through this, but I just need to strive to do my best. I know if I set aside time to get my work done , that I am able to do this with a little bit o f ease. I understand that this will not be an easy feat to get through this last semester. I feel this semester I have let myself slip because last semester I had a GPA of 3.5 and now my grades have been slipping. I feel maybe it is because it is getting so nice outside and instead of sitting and doing my homework, I do something else like golfing, hanging with friends, or walking. This just adds to my procrastination and my grades have been affected by this. Another thing that is adding to my drop in grades and procrastination is my new promotion at work. I am now an assistant-manager and with that come a lot of responsibility. I seem to get phone calls every minute of the day and my hours have shot up tremendously. I work about 35 hrs a week and then go to school full time. I think next semester I will try and take a lot less hours so my school work will not be affected. This is because school and getting my associate's degree is more important to me. I am just ready to make it through these last weeks of school. I have begun to make time slots about what to do when so I CAN and WILL get all of my homework done. I am just ready for summer so I can actually relax for a change and lay by the pool with Megan every day. That will definitely be the life of my summer, but wait I am definitely not going to get a break because soon softball will start back up again…..ahh.
