This semester has overall been a grind for me. I started this semester knowing that I wanted to do better than last semester as I kind of got lazy at the end of last semester. My classes were challenging last semester but I got mostly A's and ended with two B's. But, I know those B's could've been A's if I had not gotten lazy. Admittedly, I was able to get my grades up at the end of the semester too but I really got lazy in my accounting class. I stopped studying for tests a lot and got behind on homework because I was complacent with my A at the time. This semester though I am making sure that this won't be repeated.
My schedule this semester is a lot different than last semester. I have classes on Tuesday and Thursday this time around and my schedule has no big blocks of free time between them. Last semester I had a 3-hour gap between my third class and my fourth class on Wednesdays. While it was nice to have the gap to finish homework it was pretty hard to have to end classes at 5:35pm every Monday and Wednesday. This was especially hard as a commuter having to go home pretty late.
Now, all my classes are basically back to back so I end at 11:45 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I spend most of my mornings and afternoons in the library now and have been studying almost every day, something I didn't do last semester. Throughout this semester I have seen so much personal improvement and my grades are reflecting that as well. As this semester winds down with 4 weeks remaining I hope that I can keep this consistency and finish out strong and enjoy my summer. I also want to pose a question to you the reader, have you made any personal goals this semester?
I want to do much better this semester as well. Good luck on the grind!
