Keeping On Track

I've noticed that one of the hardest things about University is keeping on top of things. There are always assignments to work on, readings to do, and if it's not this weeks assignments then there are always next weeks assignments, or just general studying to do. Whenever you have an idle moment, you are filled with the knowledge that there is something else you could be doing, something more productive. If you don't keep up with the reading, it's so easy to fall behind, and it's even easier to never catch up. Right now I have sort of fallen behind in my CS 251 readings. I keep meaning to catch up, but every time there is something more pressing to work on, some assignment to do, or cleaning to do, or a million other things. Fortunately I am not so far behind that it is impossible to catch up at this point. It will just require a little bit of effort is all. But last semester, I fell so far behind in history that I never really caught up. I didn't do some of the readings and just read the summaries before the test. This was reflected in a mark that was somewhat disappointing and lower then I expected. Then again, last semester in general was somewhat disappointing. It's also easy to underestimate your workload, and not give yourself enough time to complete your assignments. This can lead to either loss of sleep or just not doing the assignment period. Both of these are terrible habits to get into. Speaking of sleep, I think I need to catch up on some right now so catch you later
