I don’t know how I am going to write four pages of rough draft by Monday, because I also have to read two huge books for Biology, Francis Bacon and Reni Descartes. Actually reading these two books and trying to wring information out of them makes having a root cannel without anesthetic seem fun. I have plenty of ideas for a paper, I just don’t have any time to try and write them. (Seriously, does anyone else get the feeling that the people who make the whole writing 150 outline think that English is more important than any of the other classes?) I plan on writing about how being a member of the Boy Scouts of America has changed me, but I don’t have any time to even try to write, I have math, math homework which takes forever to do, trying to read through a glitchy online book for an Electric Engineering lecture class and try to get the (insert various ampersands, asterisks and other signs) online labs to work. Reading through Biology chapters and then having to attempt to decipher various long dead philosophers. I don’t know how people who take more than fourteen collage credits do it; I am working all day, well into the night, and still feel like I’m drowning in a sea of assignments. I guess that Saturday is going to be a very busy day. I have some ideas for how my narrative should go, I do have the pictures of my project, and even all of the paper work, so I can check my facts pretty well.
I'm not sure how to help you out with this. I've always been super busy my whole life. It's kinda my style. So I've naturally learned how to schedule my time ideally to get everything done. I know how you feel about being swamped. I was sick last week and had a ton of make-up work to do, but you just gotta suck it in and push hard. You'll get through it. The library is a great place to be. It closes at midnight so you have plenty of time to get stuff done. Just find a quiet corner where there aren't any distractions and drown yourself in your studies. It'll be worth it.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I have fifteen and a half credit hours conspiring to kill me. I spent three hours Saturday night working on one linear algebra problem. I still hadn't finished when I went to bed at midnight. I like being busy but I also like having time to eat and sleep. Right now i'm surviving on prayer and stubbornness.
ReplyDeleteYour idea for your narrative is great. Scouting brings a lot of great experiences to write about. I almost wrote about my summer camp this past year but then I changed my mind. It will definitely be helpful to you that so much of scouting is well documented.
