With the beginning of a new year also comes the beginning of a new school semester. The three week break was nice, but now it's back to the old grind.
I'm one of those strange people who actually enjoys school. Point blank: I love learning. The most difficult part though, of starting a new semester with all new classes, is trying to determine how much time each class will require of me. I am taking Bankruptcy Law, Contract and Commercial Law, and Law Office Technology this semester. These aren't the most exciting classes in the world, and it's pretty much a given that that each class in itself will require at least 40 to 50 pages of reading and at least one writing assignment. Add a full time job, a second part time job, working in youth ministry, attending church services, and my own personal prayer and study time....well, it's obvious that time management will be key, and that my penchant for procrastination will have to take a permanent vacation.
It sounds a tad bit overwhelming...but... I'm quite excited. The completion of this current semester is bringing me ever closer to my goal of graduating from college. I will do whatever it takes to meet that goal. Besides growing in my relationship with Jesus, finishing my degree is my primary focus.
Because I know myself, I know that there will be days when I could care less if I ever graduate or not. There will be days when the last thing I want to do is read a 50 page chapter on the ins and outs of chapter 7 bankruptcy, or the intricacies of the Uniform Commercial Code. So, as I take a deep breath and prepare to dive into this new semester, I would ask that when you think of me, please send up a little prayer for me...that I will be able to keep my focus, my motivation...oh...and my sanity! Ha.
"...Thus grew the tale of Wonderland: Thus slowly one by one, it's quaint events were hammered out- and now the tale is done...the dream child moving through a land of wonders wild and new, In friendly chat with bird
or beast-and half believe it true..." -Lewis Carroll
Since we all are learning new things everyday, I recently read an article in the Old CGC Messengers on Procrastination. ...........Um its a sin against the grace of God. So whenever I make it down there if I remember I will bring it with me. Cause I know you will enjoy reading it. Kicked me in my behind!!! Love you
ReplyDeleteYeah! And she also said in Three Fold Nature that it's a thief of time and a liar in that it promises that today's wasted time can be redeemed tomorrow.
