Time-Management

Posted Oct 20 2011 by in Thoughts with Comments Off

I’m really happy today! For once I came home from class and I didn’t have to think about everything I had to do that day–I just LOVE that! I have no homework due tomorrow, no dance practice, no important meetings or gatherings I have to attend, no packing for the weekend; for once I came home, and I could just do whatever I wanted!

So naturally, I went shopping. Yes I know, that’s such a typical girl thing to do, but the weather is getting much colder now and I needed a new winter jacket! No luck finding one today, but maybe next time. Anyway while I was at the mall, I stopped by Sephora on my way out to see what kind of new products they might be carrying. As I tried on almost everything I set my eye on, I thought about how cool it would be to work there, so I asked for an application. However I’ve never worked before, and I thought about how stressed out I get on a regular basis without a job. It’s so easy to get overly involved when you’re the type of person who is interested in everything!  I have dance practice and commitments many times throughout the week, I am a full-time student, I blog regularly, I visit my parents in Atlanta every other weekend, I plan on auditioning for Cinderella this weekend, and aside from that I try to maintain my social life to the best of my abilities. I just don’t see how a job would fit into my schedule when I get this excited to have a do-nothing day on rare occasions, like today. That’s something that Bri, my roommate, and I were talking about today, time-management. It’s so important not to load yourself up with too many activities that you can’t handle. What’s important is to focus on the things that matter most. That’s what I’m trying to do right now.

Didi - My name is Didi Abdulnabi and I am a sophomore studying here at Augusta State University. I was born in Knoxville, Tennessee and spent the majority of my years growing up there. In 2003, my family decided to move to Lawrenceville, Georgia on account of my father’s business. I'm the oldest of five kids in my family, so I've learned a lot about responsibility and dealing with people over the years. My mother is Egyptian and my father is Palestinian, so I’m happy to say that I have done a bit of traveling around the Middle East growing up. I love the feeling of being somewhere completely new and foreign compared to what I’m used to. Traveling is definitely my biggest passion—In fact, I love is SO much, that I'm actually considering becoming a linguistics major just to have more reason to travel. When I first came to ASU last year, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Here I am a year later, and I still have no idea what I want to do with my life. I know what I love, but I just don’t have a clue what to do with that, because I have so many interests! I love the stage and putting on a show, so I joined the dance team this year. I love photography, but I don’t feel passionate enough about it to turn it into a lifetime career, so I’m just taking a few art classes instead. I guess I’m your typical, confused, broke college student living with three wonderful roommates and our two ferocious kittens (Selena and Oliver). Every other weekend I visit my family in Atlanta, and I try to maintain good relationships with all my friends, the old and the new. I’ve learned so much in the past year about life and how much I didn’t know, and I’m really ecstatic to have my readers follow me on my journey to learn even more this year!
