Time...Time..Time

Hi guys, it has been one wicked last couple of days.

I am one of those people who get off on leading hectic lives. I love to complain to close ones about how my workload is killing me and secretly I get a thrill from knowing that no matter what I have on my plate, it's gonna get done. I'm studying at university and had some exemptions I opted to take from the mass communication degree I had from college. So, even though I'm in my first year of university, I'm doing year 2 work...as well as first year work...confusing I know..on the bring side I graduate in 2 years instead of 3...yay!

Let me break down the last couple of days, the things I have going that all have to be done by the end of the semester..which ends in 5 weeks: (imagine a tv show, with montage music playing and everything in warped speed)

School:
a communitcation auidt- group project
a community development proposal- group project
a communication plan proposal
language argument essay
revision for exams

1st year class activities- trip to Barbados (my beautiful home)
planning for raffle sale
planning for fashion show and after party
organizing all the details in Barbados from Jamaica(where I am now)

Campus activities:
Applied(and running unopposed) for the Public Relations Officer on the Campus Committees

Whew...all of this in addition to attending 5 classes between Monday to Wednesday and a 2 sometimes 4 hour class on Saturday. Different meetings, with different groups...

The trick for the millions of us out there is to manage our time, as hectic as your life becomes and as much as you feel there isn't enough time in the day, never despair, being focused and sticking to your time alloted for each item plays a big part to you not crashing under the pressure.

For the most part, I'm on top of everything. The group projects are my worst enemy when there's so much other stuff to study about because a lot of our public relation group work is dependent on the work other people do. Example: if I'm in charge of designing brochures or flyers and someone else is in charge of research, while I can do some of the research to help that person, ultimately I'm dependent on that person to get their information to me on time. Not always the case, people's time schedules don't always coincide because people may have just that one task to focus on and others have 20 that are more or less running the same time.

So my message today, is be considerate to yourself, manage your time to allow for life's obstacles and no matter how hectic life becomes it's abit easier to cope. WARNING: sleep derivation may still occur.

Here's to positive people!
