Wowzers

So much has been going on, mostly dealing with school. I have two weeks before my first midterm and am trying to prepare for that. My second midterm will be the following week. This is definitely proving to be a challenge. I'm still trying to find an effective way of taking notes. I'm keeping the faith though, especially after I "cracked" my Communication Theory course last week. Well, I don't know if I "cracked" it, but it sure got a hell of a lot more interesting when I got past the "foundation" readings.

I also am trying to find balance in all this. I'd like to have my evenings and weekends free of school work, except for group projects. I'm still working on that, sometimes I break that balance rule, but its all a work in progress.

Week 2...Whew

Let's just say I realized that I need to put more time and effort into studying. I'm taking the hardest and most boring courses now...Research Methods and Communication Theory...gotta get them out of the way. But damn it if they aren't causing me to glaze over. I'm keeping it in mind that it gets better after this semester. The problem I'm having is trying to find interest in something that isn't really all that interesting. I mean...one course is about finding stuff and the other...well I think Communication Theory will turn out to be interesting in a few weeks. But I need to refocus myself because I'm reading the literature to get it done, rather than reading for comprehension...and that's going to bite me in the ass if I don't get a hold of it now. Also, I have to devote more time to reading the literature. It's quite a bit of reading and it would behoove me to start reading a little each day instead of a ton of reading in four days. But I'll get it under control...no doubt about that. Well, I'm off to Deltona/Orlando/Tampa for the holiday...later!
