Famous Last Words: Scheduling!

I can already tell that this semester is going to be super challenging for me. I'm only two weeks in and am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I decided to take 12 hours this semester because I want to graduate so bad it's not even funny. Now I'm rethinking that choice. I'm really hoping that it's just because I took the summer off and am trying to adjust back into the routine of things. It also hasn't helped that work has been a nightmare these last few weeks. I have a very large assignment that I've been working on that takes up most of my time. Even having to go in on my days off to work on it. I love time sensitive work projects....said no one ever.

I think the thing I really need to figure out for this semester is a schedule that works well with the rest of my life. Juggling the family, work and school will be the challenge. And I really need to stop procrastinating! It gets me every stinking time. I wait until last minute to do anything and then stress myself out trying to get it done. My goal this semester is going to be working ahead as much as I can and stop waiting until last minute for everything if it can be avoided. I know some weeks will be harder than others, but at least being proactive about it will hopefully counteract those weeks.

I can say that my classes this semester seem the most fun thus far. I'm taking all classes that I enjoy the subject matter so that should help with the motivation to do the work. For classes in the past that I didn't like, it was like pulling teeth to get homework done and I definitely didn't study as much as I should have for those classes. I'm also able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and graduation is creeping ever closer, so I'm motivated (for now anyways) to keep working my butt off to get things done.

Hopefully this time next week I'll have my schedule down and things won't be as rough. I'm going to use the holiday break to get ahead in this class and caught up in the others. To those reading, have a great week!

The picture below is one that I took of my planner. This is a "simple" week for me, but as it goes along, I'm sure all the blank spaces will fill up. I also usually have color coded stickers for each class so I can put all my assignments on the calendar where they go. But alas, I haven't had time to make any yet. Maybe if I can get caught up I can play around on the computer a big a design something fun.

    Hey Sarah!

    I still cannot imagine being a full time student and working and taking care of a family. Kudos to you because I would not be able to do it. Planners are awesome! I am glad you are able to keep up with one with everything you are doing. I tried a planner one semester was always forgot to look in it/fill it out, so it was redundant for me. Best of luck to you throughout the semester and I hope it goes well.

Title: Copenhagen, Denmark Source:  Wikimedia Welcome to the comments section for my portfolio page. I will be adding stories to my portfolio that reflect some of my favorites from the Epics we read. These stories will be versions told in my own words with my own personality.

However, I decided to leave the coffee picture as my image. While I won't be talking about food for my storybook, coffee is still an important thing in my life. Every time I sit down to write a story, I ALWAYS have a cup close by. It helps my brain do it's thing. I felt it fitting to leave the image here since it is a part of every story (even if not exp

Weird But Effective Introduction For Sarah

I will admit I'm not very witty when it comes to creating titles for things. So I thought I'd Google ideas to be creative with my phrasing of the word introduction. The first thing that came up was a list of 74 catchy blog titles that will grab people's attention. A list of fill in the blank titles. After trying to add "introduction" to each of the titles, the one I settled on made me giggle the most: Weird But Effective Introduction For Sarah. If you want to see the list for yourself, you can follow this link:  Funny Blog Titles . As the title suggests, my name is Sarah. I'm double majoring in accounting and MIS and I plan to apply for the accelerated master program at the end of the semester and start working towards my masters in MIT. However, I may just settle for one bachelors and be done with it! I have been going to school for the better part of a decade now and have changed majors so many times I've lost track. I am married and have children. M

Week 12 Story: A Single Soul

** I have also put this story on my Portfolio Page, found  here . The night air crackled with the heat. The coolness of the water clashed with the air and an eerie fog danced across the surface of the lake. Despite low visibility near the ground, the night sky shone bright. The moon bathed each surface in a pale-yellow glow. Every star painted the heavens with a brilliance that made her mind at peace, even if for just a brief second. This was her favorite time of the morning, when the earth was at it quietest. Adeline sat atop the banyan tree overlooking the lake. A heavy sigh escaped her lips. As the quiet crept in, her mind began to wander. She struggled to come to terms with her choices. Leaving her home in the city was necessary, but she was so lonely. The kind of lonely that made her chest ache in a way that made the hopelessness seem vast and never ending. She wondered if she would ever become numb to that feeling. She wondered if she would ever find happiness again. Los
