Procrastination

 Hello again,

My, my it does not feel like it has been a month since my last post but I can see that it has been.

What a range of emotions this last month has brought. My 3 classes obviously started and that one I mentioned everyone says is the hardest? They are not lying!!!  I legitimately went though a day or two period where I was convinced I would not pass this class. The teacher left me a comment on my poor test scores and I reached out to her about how terrified I was of failing this course. She emailed me back and said obviously what I was doing wasn't working so I needed to change and start actively learning. I reached out to teachers and asked them for help. They really didn't have much to say themselves. I ended up changing the way that I dealt with the class and that has helped a lot. I started printing the chapters to read instead of using the ebook. This way I could read the sections over and over and highlight and underscore and whatever else I wanted to do. I also started printing my 4 x 6 notecard rather than hand writing the notes I wanted to use. Since I did this I have gotten an A, A, B,  I have two test to take by Tuesday that I haven't even started reading the chapters yet. They are printed next to me though. I figured I would type a post up for ya'll before I started working. 

My house is a mess, dinners are cooked but as simply as I can. Clothing is at least washed so that is good. LOL  This is with three online only classes and I am 95% done with one of them. I have done all the assignments and there are only 3 discussion posts left that I am not even doing. If I plug in zeros for all that I will still end with a 92% so I don't care. New term will be harder with having the two classes that I need to be present for then one online. One on campus and one on Zoom for the be present for classes. These new classes (Fall B) will start around Oct 14th. Spring will be WORSE!  My course load is aggressive and to take the classes I want in the time frame I want I will be super overloaded. I am signing up for all of them as planned since tomorrow is sign up day. I may drop one or two though, I have plenty of time to decide. But I would rather sign up for all 6 and drop than not and wish I had done so in the future. 

Why am I stressing? Because they are all BA level classes.

For Spring A it would be 3 physical night classes.  As in go to the college Mon/Tue/Wed 5:30 to 8:15 pm.  For Spring B it would be 1 online and two physical go to the college classes Wed/Thur 5:30 to 8:15.  That is A LOT!!!   Summer would only be 3 classes.  I had a different plan in place but then realized that the classes I intended to take over summer were not available then so I have to squish them into Spring. 

I am not weighing to tracking food. I am just trying to eat mindfully. Amazingly enough I have actually been losing! I changed my WI days to Sundays because Saturdays are now for Cross Country. 

Ok enough procrastination.  I need to work on school work, prep my lunches, and get some household stuff like laundry done.
