Prioitize
Well, Evergreen is back in full swing after almost a whole month off for winter break. I am always surprised how long of a break Evergreen gives their students, considering it’s a public school. Private schools are notorious for having long winter breaks, but it seems like the Evergreen breaks are almost just as long. I love it!
So far we have one week down. I’ve decided to keep my same schedule of Evening and Weekend classes for the winter quarter. So here’s what I’ve got:
Tuesday: Principles of Biology 6-9pm
Wednesday: Beginning Ballet 12-2pm, Writer’s Workshop 5-9pm (plus it meets every other Saturday from 9am-4pm)
Thursday: Principles of Biology 6-9pm
This is a pretty sweet schedule considering I am enrolled for 20 credits and I only have class three days a week. Of course, those three days can be quite grueling. I really learned last quarter how to prioritize. It’s something I have always been okay in, but since this schedule I have really perfected the art of prioritizing. I have also come to understand the beauty of planners. Now, I’ve always been a “planner girl” since middle school, but this is the year where I have begun to utilize this school calendar as more of a tool and less as a decorative notebook. In middle school and high school the schools always provided planners, and I had my fun using gel pens to create elaborate pages of artwork, but hardly did they display anything academic. Now, my planner is quite dull, when you open it up all you see are the lists of homework and meetings and work times.
After that very long winter break I can actually say that I am glad to be back at school. I’ve rested and now I’m ready for another quarter (albeit a rainy one).
