Getting into the groove….

Well here we are into the third week of classes and I find myself still in denial. Three years ago when I started this educational journey, I couldn’t wait to get to class, and I eagerly attacked my assignments and homework often having things completed way ahead of schedule. Needless to say, that is no longer the case as I find myself often putting things off until the last minute and not always doing my best work as a result. I keep reminding myself that I have been in classes every semester without taking a semester off and that could be the reason for my exhausting attitude. I have one more year to complete before I move on to my Masters and I find the need to regroup and change my attitude. I am vowing here and now that I will get it together before all I worked for up to this point goes south!! I will get up on time, I will get to school early enough to not have to park in the “back 40″ and I will study harder and most of all do “my best” and not do what I have to, to get by!! Wish me luck……

Cynthia - After two years at Aiken Technical College and an AA in Human Services I chose ASU for the Social Work program. I have been here a year and my experiences here have been good, different, but good. I see things from a different perspective than many of my classmates, and of course there is that little age difference. I look forward to sharing my thoughts and experiences with the ASU family.

    Its great to start working on feeling refreshed. I know how exhausting; I keep having to remind myself of what I want for a career, and what kind of image I want to project. When I get up late looking scrambled up, and I have to rush to school and park far, I have a bad attitude that carries into my work ethic for the rest of the day. Managing time is something I’ve learned to do, but still haven’t mastered. I think my biggest problem is finding time to honestly unwind. Not just from schoolwork, but from social life. Good Luck and take it easy!

    I’m having a similar experience… the excitement is wearing off and now I’m wondering where my momentum went!
