Look Ahead

I was certainly surprised on Wednesday when Professor Middleton announced that our Team Consulting Project was due a week from Monday. The same day, I realized that I had a rather nasty New Testament test on Friday, the 16 credit Spanish exam on Saturday, and a regular test for my Spanish class on Tuesday.

Not to mention, the five-page paper for my Comms 101 class due in two weeks or my New Testament paper due the same day. I also have a big advertising project due at the end of the month.

All these assignments sort of snuck up on me. I have my work cut out for me this month.

So what?

I should have planned ahead. I should have known what was coming and started working on the things I could.

Now what?

It's not too late to at least do a little planning ahead for the storm. In fact, I've already started. I already knocked out my New Testament test and the Spanish exam. Although I was completely exhausted and sick of homework, I just barely finished cranking out three pages of my five-page paper. That was on top of the team proposal I edited for M COM this morning and the creative strategy write-up I did for advertising. After I finish this blog, I plan to do my reading for New Testament and fill out my Spanish review.

The idea is if I can get enough accomplished now I can concentrate more fully on my advertising project. That is the most important thing I have to do because I plan on applying to the advertising program and this project is a big part of the application process.

I also won't get in this situation again. From now on I will look at the full syllabus for each class and plan accordingly.
