Ready or Not, Here It Comes

Classes have begun and the art of balancing life has once again demanded my attention. Gripping my student planner, I'm trying to figure out how on earth I'm going to manage my time this semester. It's going to be a demanding course load, so I've decided to create an action plan:

1. Write EVERYTHING in the planner.
2. Sit in front row. (forces me to stay awake)
3. Visit all professors office hours once within first month (developing relationships is key)
4. Keep a list of priorities for reference
5. Schedule exercise & fun
6. Use creative study techniques to lighten load
7. Laugh often
8. Enjoy classes, find something interesting about the course
9. Get adequate sleep
10. Take daily multi-vitamin
11. Develop crisis plan for stressful moments
12. Develop reward plan for successful moments
13. Maintain a positive attitude & outlook
14. Just keep dancing
15. If all else fails... call Mom.

It's a good start,
