Spring Break

I felt that my spring break was very enjoyable, because I took the time to do things that were fun. I remember being busy with homework that took most of my time, while we were still in school. I can admit that I still worked on my assignments on my break, because I like to get my work done, so when it is due I will have most of it completed. It may be weird, but I believe that getting my essays and assignments earlier helps me keep improving on my assignment. Working on my assignments was not the only thing that I did that was productive. I also fixed up my room and renovated it, so it can be very neat. I knew of some people that were complaining that spring break was too “short”, but I personally thought that one week was enough. If the break was longer, then I would get too comfortable, and then I would fall out of my routine.  I did not go out of town, because the break was not that long. I will probably go out of town in the summertime when I have less classes to worry about.  Now I am just getting prepared for the tests, and assignments that I will have now that the end of the semester is getting closer. I hope that the professors will have mercy on the students and realize that we have a lot of studying to do. I know that all of my professors are very kind and understanding, so I do not think that I will struggle at all.

Procrasination

As spring break is approaching, I am noticing that I am procrastinating in all of my assignments. I know that it is not the best idea to do every assignment at the last moment, because I will carelessly rush through the assignment and receive bad grades on it. I was told by my communications teacher that the group essay that is assigned is due the week that we come back from spring break! My group and I have not started on it, and we had all planned to relax on our spring break. I guess that we are going to work on it all of the week of spring break, or try to start to do most of the essay this week. I am also focusing on fixing my essay 1 from english class, and looking at articles for my conference meeting. I am busy this week, and I hope that I can get all of my assignments completed and do them correctly the first time around. I had also noticed that I need to update my study habits and do things that will help me learn effectively. I do receive good grades, but learning things in a easy way will help me from the headaches and wasting time. The emphasis on getting good grades has been very important to me, and not only does it show how much time and effort I put on my assignments, it shows that I want to be successful. This spring semester is busier than fall semester, but in the end it is all worth it.    

Choosing Essay topic

For me, writing essays has become a habit that I can easily complete with no problem. I have learned that if I am not really interested in what I am writing, the essay will feel like a chore, and I will inevitably complete a mess of an assignment. I am really intrigued with the format of essay 2 in my English class. I am used to teachers giving me basic guidelines of how my essay should be like. I will admit that completing essay 2 will not be like any other essay I have completed. I feel that if I follow the guidelines of this essay, it will help me expand my knowledge as a writer. As much as I do not like to be limited in my writing, I feel like I am trying to decide which topic I will choose, now that we are not allowed to pick several topics that are too controversial, or are constantly chosen by students. I understand why professors may do that, because they do not want to read like twenty papers about the same topic!  I am also doing a research paper in my communications class, but the difference is that I am working with a group and we had to select a topic collectively, and then decide to what extent we are basing off our research. I do not know what my topic is yet, I am still choosing from two topics, and I really hope that my topic is approved, and that I do not have to choose something else, because I would hate to look for new sources and start all over again.
