Big paper

The first draft of my first really big paper was do this week. It turned out, I handled mt time badly again. It wasn't that I didn't do homework, I did. I just put off the paper the whole time. I did other homework. When I wasn't doing homework, I was engaged in constructive activities. But when it was finally the day before the paper was due, it was not even close to being finished. I stayed up really late getting it done. Then I took a nap the next day. That messed up my sleeping pattern, and that is why I am awake right now writing this reflection. It wasn't not worth it.

Spare Time

Last week I got back into doing my homework, which was really good. But I was still doing it later, not during the day when I had time. I would talk to people, or just sit on facebook in between classes, and then when it was getting late and I wanted to go out and do something, I would have to stop myself and do homework.
This was fine, but not very fun. So this week when I got home from classes, I sat down, got off Facebook, and set goals of how much homework I would get done before my next class. It worked brilliantly! I also set rewards for myself if I completed my goals, which really helped too.

Homework

I finally started doing my homework again! I just had to wait until some of it was due, and then I finally got it done. After the first bit of rushed work, I was able to get back into my usual routine of getting work done early. It is too bad that it took an almost failed assignment to get me back in the zone, but as long as I'm back in it, that's all that matters.
