Malgorzata's Thoughts

The past few weeks have been very tough; having a total of 18 credit hours this semester, it has been a pretty big work load.  Thankfully with everything I was learning in this class, made it a little easier.  Learning about time-management was a big part of helping me figure out my tasks and finding specific times for me to work on each assignment individually.  I know that even with all the grammatical things I have learned in this class, that I will never be perfect with writing, and that should not keep me from writing.  The more I continue to write the better I will become at it, just like with reading.  I started writing in a journal about my day, not only to practice my grammar,  but also to help expressive my feelings.  Writing things down in a journal helps me become very calm and relaxed.  I write about anything that happened in the day, what I am grateful for, some future goals, or just about anything that comes in to my mind. It also ...

As this course is coming to an end, I am really starting to pay attention to all the little things in everyone else’s writing.   I know I am not the greatest writer, and that only mean I have so much more potential to grow.   I like to look at things from a different perspective than most people.   I like to focus on the small goals before looking at the bigger picture.   I have a habit of really breaking things down in my life to make sure I am being achieve my highest potential.   If I focus on getting what I can done in this moment, then in the end I will see how all the moments add into one big picture.   For example, take graduation, I do not think about how much I STILL have to get done before I graduate, but I break it down and just worry about my current classes; even within those classes, I am breaking down each of the assignments.   When I break things down I like to try to put them into a time frame on my agenda, whether its homework tha...

Hello fellow classmates, we are almost at the end of our time here in class.  Last class, we talked a lot about time-management skills, which is something that I have been struggling with in my life.  Working full time and squeezing 18 credit hours this semester has been very tough. Learning how to manage my time has been hard because of all the responsibility I have gained early in my life.  With all the chaos that happens in my life, I do make sure that I find time for myself; this is something that I have just recently started.  When I make time for myself it includes anything outside and active. Finding things that help me relieve my stress and finding the stillness in all the chaos allows me to be able to take on more. It also makes me a very happy and stress-free human and I encourage everyone else to find time for themselves. 

In the last class session, we were informed that we will not need to attend class on Monday the 18 th of February. I was very happy to hear that since I turn 26 on that day.   Thus, I must make sure that I really work on my research paper these next few weeks, along with the rest of my assignments.   I always try to get a head of the game when it comes to assignments, so that incase something were to happen I would still have time to get things completed without being stressed and rushed.     I create check list and specific time slots to make sure I have time for everything that I need to complete, and yet I find myself procrastinating.   I tend to find myself worried more about making list and creating a plan rather than completing any tasks that are on the list.   I know we talked about time-management in class a few times and I am glad to understand the importance of it, I just have to learn to better self-discipline myself.     I als...
