So, just finished my lunch and figure I might as well take a few to do a quick journal entry before I get back to my homework. My preferred place to work on homework now is the ‘greenhouse’, aka the atrium at school. I was here for most of the day yesterday, and I’m planning on spending part of my afternoon here too. I tried working at home, but that so doesn’t work for me. Tuesday and Wednesday I got home, had some lunch and passed out. Not that a nice long nap isn’t highly appealing to me now, trust me, it is… it’s just I find I don’t get done what I need to get done.

Today it’s taking my typed notes from yesterday’s class and writing them out by hand on the slide printouts. It’s my trick for memory and re-reading them. If I take some time to write as well as read it seems to stick a lot better in my brain. It’s part of my new plan on how to stay on top of my school stuff. Transcribe my notes, then re-read all my notes on the weekend, do my readings and take decent notes, re-read those on the weekend too. Ideally this means by the end of the term I’ll have the info like glue in my brain, baby!

I’m still very firm on once I’m home in the evenings it’s home & family time. Even if all we do is wander off and focus on our individual pursuits, it’s still really important I think. I think iit would be far too easy to get all cranky and whine about the work I have to get done. Which is silly considering how much time I have during the days after and before classes.

Ok enough talking about it, time to do it. :)
