Relaxing

This week, I am definitely going to focus on relaxing in preparation for upcoming finals. My workload for classes is starting to calm down, so I can avert my attention from homework and busy work and focus more on preparing for finals, both mentally and scholarly. 

I am going to Pennsylvania to visit family over break and have Thanksgiving at my grandmothers house. Being with family, mostly my cousins, will help me relax and become less stressed about finals. My friends are also coming home for break, so I will finally be able to see them after these past three months.

In order to prepare for finals, I am going to look at the schedule and decide when each one is. Then, I will plan my studying to it. I am going to go over notes, quizzes and tests to make sure I remember the material. I am also, especially for math, going to use the practice books and do different problems. If I set a study day for each class, I am sure that I will be able to study enough to do well on my final exams. 

In these last weeks, my professors have been giving out lots of last minute projects and tests. It is a very stressful time, especially with finals quickly approaching. I have decided that these weeks must be filled strictly with school- no more nights out, movie nights, or 2 hour Conn runs. These are the last chances to bring my grades up, and I intend to do as well as I can on them.
