Freshmanitis?

This weekend we finally got a glimpse of the sun in Syracuse and oh was it a great site. Unfortunately, it was so great that I've put off all the work I've had to do until today, Sunday. Not the best thinking on my part I'll admit, but the weather was too nice to pass up, I had to enjoy it. Also, the avoidance of being stuck inside doing work elevated the procrastinator in me even more. So, today is that time to buckle down and get some (...well a lot of) work done. Usually on days like today when I have only so much time to do all of my work for the weekend, I usually plan out my day, hour-by-hour, to make sure I've completed all my tasks. Seeing how I have a BIO 123 exam tomorrow, studying for that was first on my list. After that came CLS work, a NSD project, and then back to BIO.

The reason BIO is first on my list because:
1. Acing that test is my top priority
2. My brain is more fresh when I being studying rather than studying after I do all of my other work first
3. I find that doing my tougher assignments before easier ones is more successful for me.

This morning, before I even touched my textbook, I took out a piece of paper and starting mapping out my day then put it on iCal to make it even more organized. This is called the Fritter Finder and because I don't have all day to study due to a lacrosse game, this method makes it easy to find time. With the pressure of getting work done (like this blog) before my other commitments, I needed to make my time frames realistic so I wouldn't be overwhelmed if I didn't get something done in time. The Fritter Finder makes my days much more organized and motivated to get my work done on time so I have a little time to relax. This method is great for all my classes, especially finding time to study for BIO and getting my CLS blog done before the 5pm deadline.


Procrastination is at a all time high now with the nice weather approaching and the Fritter Finder will really allow me to have guilt-free fun. =)
