Staying Focused this Quarter

My first day back at school was personified by long lines. Lots of them. Work at the dining halls was more tiring than usual and I never would have predicted that so many people would order salads and chicken wraps last night. I had to stand in even longer lines to get the books I needed for class at AS Soft Reserves and at Groundwork. I probably shouldn’t have played too many pickup basketball games the night before. I woke up sore and exhausted for my 11AM Spanish class, which looks like it’ll be even harder than last quarter (but I already expected that).

I’m probably exaggerating a bit though. This quarter won’t be too grueling for me and i kind of know it. I’m confident that I’ll survive and continue to improve my GPA to where I would like it to be. I felt like I was about to mentally shut down after getting through last quarter’s finals. I ended up doing as well as I had hoped for and I hope that replicates into similar success this spring.

I find myself looking a lot to the future right now, usually towards summer and what lies ahead for me next schoolyear. But then I sit through class and get a reality check. I really need to keep my head in the present and focus on the things I need to accomplish for the time being. The things that I end up doing after this quarter will have to wait.
