Famous Last Words: Slowly but Steadily

As my post title implies. I am readjusting to my college coursework slowly but steadily. So far, it's been hectic. Trying to juggle two math classes, two computer science classes and this online course can be a hassle. However, the ability to create this post at the end of every week allows me to decompress and reevaluate my week in a positive way. I believe that if you are able to write down all your challenges and goals, it makes them seem more manageable!

My math classes have been rough! So much so, I actually forgot to do one of the readings on time! Fortunately, we are always granted a grace period, which I definitely took advantage of. It is definitely frustrating, however, that I had to rush to put that reading assignment out so quickly and so haphazardly because I was so preoccupied by ONE math assignment that might as well have been a programming project. Fortunately, I got it done and turned in on-time and next week's assignment shouldn't be as demanding. As for my programming class, it's been rough, but I believe an optimistic mindset is key to surviving the rest of the semester, both grade-wise and emotional-wise!

Outside of school, it's been a great week for football! Our boys in red redeemed our school by destroying the Buckeyes in a game that was predicted to be a blowout not in our favor. The Patriots lost, which is a good sign that the Year of the Brady is not going to be a thing. And for my Cowboys, as I am writing this, they are demolishing the Giants that gave us so much trouble last season. All is right in the world of the pigskin.

I am definitely looking forward to next week. Looking at my giant calendar that I keep next to my desk, my week does not look overbearing at all. I feel that if I can keep all my goals/assignments written and visible, I can easily achieve them, or at least not feel too bogged down by due dates. Wish me the same luck as I wish you all for next week!

  1. Hi Kevin! I understand how you feel after reading your post. I am currently taking Capstone lab because it is required for my major to be able to graduate. I am also in this other (required) lab and it is indeed, exhausting to be in both lab on the same days every week. Therefore, you taking two math classes and computer classes seem super intense and crazy as well with all the assignments and projects you have to keep up with. Just like you, I appreciate the grace period A LOT. But aside from being busy, I am glad that you have time to enjoy some footballs good luck for next week!
