Studying and time management !


Hi, everybody. I must admit that I have never been using blogs before, so this blog is my first one ever. I am not that kind of person who likes to write journals or keep a diary, but in order to upgrade my writing skills in English, I do agree that this is a brilliant idea! Moreover, we can write freely and be relaxed, which means I don't have to worry about my mistakes and spelling, yeeees! Also, I don't have to stick to the one main idea, I can write about anything I desire, like what I am doing right now. So , what am I getting at........ ( something that we learned today in class) .

Well, I 'm trying to learn English again after a quite long break, and I would say we have started studying in a very intensive manner ( which is good, of course). We have already got lots of homework, which hopefully I will manage to complete on time. I am very glad to have such an advanced classmates from different countries studying with me and it is a big challenge for me. So, I just rolled up my sleeves and prepared myself for the hard work. For instance, on weekend we had to do a book report, to write an essay, ect..... The thing is that it took me longer than I expected, I wish I can learn faster so that I could have more time for pleasure.

After viewing the short video about the time management the other day in the class, I realized that I must make a "TO DO" list. I have practiced it before, but not for the long term periods. Undoubtedly, this is a very valuable advise for everone who has a lot of things to take care, especially for students. After you plan your essignments, you fill more confident and sure that you didn't miss anything important. Needless to say how happy and proud everybody feels after putting a check mark in front of the accomplished mission. So, any way, I will emphasize my main point in this blog: please use this advice and do manage your time properly by making "To do" list, but also don't forget to spend some quality time resting and doing other activities.

It sounds like you are totally on the right track! I always make a "to do" list. The problem is that I always have items on my list that carry over from one day to the other for days and days at a time!

I couldn't find the silly part, really! In fact, I agree with many things you wrote. And you seem to take many things we learn in class right into action!
