This article from CNN was an eye opener for me! (Random, but relevant for those who know me....)
So I've realized that right now my focus is Graduate School! I need to rethink my priorities and set them straight. I was doing okay my first semester and this semester was a complete disaster -- in a way. I was very disorganized this semester. My readings for all of my classes have blended into several piles. My desk drawers have random receipts, papers, magazines, you name it.
I think this was due to my complex schedule this semester: 20 hrs of work, 10 hrs of practicum (internship), 10 hrs. of class, and meetings for group projects. Group projects took over this entire semester.
I remember when I was at TCU, I would have the time and energy to go to the rec every other day. Since I've been in Grad school here in Michigan, let me tell you --- I've been slacking. My parents would be so disappointed.
My goals for this summer are to:
