I was really glad when break arrived, but I had so much work to do! My Black Studies professor gave us an assignment that’s so, so long—at least 10 hours of work. I also had a poetry assignment for my English class that I didn’t really know how to do. And a Chemistry lab, but at least that one was fun because it involved making crystals.

Every time I have break I put my assignments off for too long and it always comes and bites me in the end. I want to be better with my time management, and space out my work so I don’t get overwhelmed during the last three days of break. I always prioritize having fun, but I can do that and still do some work. I think I procrastinate so that I can have fun without interruption, but the stress at the end of each break just isn’t worth it. I’m thinking, in future, I should be proactive and make a calendar and give myself some wiggle room to mess up.

The Friday before school ended I had a debate. I wrote part of a speech for my teammate and I gave him 30 seconds of extra time because he only had two minutes to speak. He ended up delivering the speech in exactly two minutes, and I’m really proud of that. It tells me that I’m capable of doing this kind of stuff, like, it’s possible for me to figure things out and then execute them in the time allocated. If I can pull that off, then there’s hope for how I organize myself in the future, and I really like self-improvement. ♦
