I have an extra class this semester and some added responsibilities related to school. It is a much faster, and yet more familiar, pace, so I am happier starting this semester than I was in the fall. I like that I know people and the way things work now, because it is easier to manage my own time with that "first look in" time over.
Working on sticking to a schedule. Some days are much better productivity wise than others. Today has been a mixed bag since I have a horrible cold, but lots of work to do. I'm trying to decide whether to try to write on to a journal, or more, or to just let go of that idea. I know prestige wise it is important but I am wondering if the amount of time and work it adds is really worth all that. I'm very open to thoughts on this - so do share please.
Several of my friends are working harder this semester in response to less than happy grades. I want very much to continue working with those same friends, because I do think it is a benefit to do that in a structured way. On the other hand, a couple of the people who were on the fringes of working with us are dropping totally away, and still aren't doing the work to keep up with classes. This worries me and I am considering talking to one person in particular in a very blunt way about a(n even worse) work ethic/class performance issue, in hopes of getting this person to open up about ways we might be able to help, or what's going on. I ordinarily am in fact this nosy/confrontational, but in this situation it is even more exaggerrated as the person's performance is drastically and dramatically worse (and it was never really good), to the point that she is wasting valuable class time asking very ridiculous questions, leading to a feeling of resentment by classmates and no doubt professors also.
We shall see.
