per_soloOk, I've had an awful lot (so it feels) to get done in the last few days.
Well, the good is I've gotten most done.
The bad is that I've got one assignment due tomorrow, by midnight. It is basically taking the lecture of a guest speaker, talking about what I liked, what was shocking from his speech, and 3 questions we'd ask of the speaker.
This has also contributed to the WORST writer's block I've experienced. At least that I recall. I don't know if it's that I just can't write, or if it's that I need to mount even MORE pressure by waiting til the absolute last minute (Something I'm loathe to do anymore), to kickstart, or what.
Add to this, I forgot that tomorrow is the "Backpacks to Briefcases", an event held downtown, where it's a resume critique, a series of mock interviews, and presentations on things like Etiquette, and business trends in our industry. And who knows, there may be job opportunities through this.
Lots of opportunity to network as well...last year, I ran into several teachers, one of whom I'd really enjoyed talking to.
Add in that I've got the MAJOR accounting exam on Monday.
Nope, not freaking, but I'm taking a little break from banging my head on the brick wall of this paper. And, will watch the new ep of Lost in a little over an hour. And try to figure what after that.
The above makes me think, not sure if I've stated it, but yeah...primary goal? Is the degree. Which means I can be singularly focused on it most times. Reason for that was the sacrifices to get to school in the first place. secondary is to get a job so I can afford to pay loans and such back, but also to live in an Apt. again at some point (or a RTO home or such)...but, the overriding goal is that little slip of paper.
Hyperfocused? Maybe. And for the life of me, I can't figure if that's entirely good OR bad.

Date: 2008-02-29 12:33 pm (UTC)The trick, I think, is to be able to juggle a little. Stay focused, but also be able to constantly re-evaluate your priorities around that focus. That ay, you don't end up feeling like you're depriving yourself of anything outside that little slip of paper.
But you seem like you're already doing that, what with the fact that you DO kinda have a life along with your dedication to school. ;)
Just be patient. (lol, I know, I know.) You'll get there, and you'll be happy that you stuck with it.
(and this has been your useless sage advice for the day.)
